        1:00 - Automatic ignition
        1:45 - stove gets a call from the thermostat
               timers run stove until it reaches a certain temperature
               stays running by temperature and thermostat demand
               returns to times for shutdown
               red call light shows demand for heat.
        2:08   thermostat calls for heat.  The call light (red) comes on.
        2:15 - exhaust blower comes on creating a partial vacuum in the burn-pot
               the feed motor starts and feeds a few pellets
               the ignitor comes on
               a low flame sends reading of 200deg. to the control box
               if this happens within 2 minutes the ignitor will turn off
               and the feed motor will continue to turn
               if 200deg. is not reached the feed motor will stop
               but the igniter will stay on for four more minutes
               green light comes on at 200deg. red light at 1000deg.
        3:40 - the shutdown sequence is also timed.
               thermostat call goes off, red light goes off, shutdown sequence started
               the feed motor stops
               exhaust blower runs for 8 minutes, exhausting the remaining fuel in the fire-pot
               the exhaust fan shuts off until the thermostat calls for heat.
        4:10 - convection blowers move air over the heat exchanger.
               turn on at 125deg. turn off at 105deg.

November 2017 Troubleshooting

Problem: Fire does not start.

Symptom: Exhaust blower does not run.

Blower #2 - Negative Draft Blower

User manual p.1614 Blower #2 (Negative Draft Blower)

This blower creates a negative pressure (vacuum) in the firebox. It extracts all of the exhaust out of the firebox and sends it into the venting system. The blower is located on the left side of the insert. When the insert is pulled out onto the hearth, the blower is accessible through a removable access panel.

</h4>p13.4 VENTING SYSTEM</h4>

The venting system should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, or more often depending upon the quality of your fuel. If you are experiencing nuisance shutdowns, check for a clogged exhaust system. If the exhaust is restricted, the vacuum safety switch will shut the feed motor off (the red light will remain on). You can clean the venting system without removing it from the insert by opening the small hinged access door, located on top of the exhaust blower housing. Using a small vacuum attachment, vacuum the exhaust housing

p13.6 - BLOWERS

There are three blowers in this insert: an exhaust blower that evacuates the exhaust out of the firebox, and two convection air blowers that delivers heat into the room. THESE BLOWERS REQUIRE NO LUBRICATION.

A. The exhaust blower is located at the left rear side of the insert. It should be inspected during the annual cleaning of the exhaust system. The exhaust blower impellers can be inspected periodically by using the exhaust blower cleanout door.

B. The larger convection blower is located on the front left side of the insert, and is accessible by removing the front left panel. The impeller on this blower should be cleaned at least once a year. You can do this without removing the blower. Simply brush and vacuum the impeller area.

C. The small convection blower is located at the rear right side of the insert. When the insert is pulled out onto the hearth, it is accessible through a removable access panel. The impeller on this blower should also be cleaned at least once a year, and can also be cleaned in place.
