Troubleshooting Guide
Smoke Inside House
Blowers/Motors Run after Stove Cools Down
Auger does not turn
Smoke will disappear within 3 hours.
Change mode selector switch to START mode.
This will allow the exhaust blower to operate while the machine
is cool. Change to RUN mode after the machine warms up.
Seal any leaks with high temperature RTV sealant.
Clean exhaust pipe. Make sure exhaust outlet is not blocked.
Unplug stove. Check wiring. Remove exhaust blower and clean
out.
Make sure door gasket seals against fire chamber.
Adjust handle out by spinning counter-clockwise for tighter seal.
Replace gasket if necessary.
Change mode selector switch to RUN mode.
This will engage the temp switch that turns the exhaust blower
and the tumbler motor off.
If the room in which the stove is installed reaches 95F or higher,
the low temperature switches will close and the motors will start.
Also, the room needs to be cooled down to 80F before the low
temperature switches will reset to the open position.
If your room never gets below 80F, unplug the stove when not in
use to increase the life of the motors.
The low temperature switches are designed to make start-up
easier and to make the stove automatically shut off when it runs
out of fuel. There are three low temperature switches.
The first disables the auger.
The second disables the room blower.
The third disables everything (only if placed in RUN mode)
If any of these switches were to fail closed, the motors would run
as soon as the stove is plugged in.
Push while turning auger, end of auger should be flush with
discharge tube.
