Pellet Heater. This heater is designed for use with Pelletized Wood Only. Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning room heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Keep this manual handy for future reference. This Pellet Heater, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code in the United States. This heater will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system. PELLET QUALITY Pellet quality is important, please read the following: Your Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Heater has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do not use any other type of fuel such as fire logs or fire starting pellet, as this will void the warranties stated in this manual. The performance and heat output of the pellet heater is directly related to the quality and moisture of the pellets. Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption. ! WARNING It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type. P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS: Fines (fine particles) 1% maximum through a 1/8" screen Bulk Density 40 pound per cubic foot minimum Size 1/4" to 5/16" diameter, 1/2" - 1 1/2" long maximum Ash Content 1% maximum (Premium grade) 3% maximum (Standard grade) Moisture Content 8% maximum Heat Content Approximately 8200 BTU per pound minimum If the fuel does not comply to this standard the unit may not operate as designed. We recommend the use of premium grade (1% ash content) for longer stove life and less frequent cleaning.

EPA COMPLIANCE This heater is EPA exempt from Phase II requirements, but has been tested for emissions using EPA test methods by Warnock Hersey. GENERAL INSTALLATION PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION ! WARNING Read this entire manual before you install and use this heater. failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation. Before installing we recommend placing the heater outside and load 5 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn off the oils on the steel, there by minimizing any smell inside the home. HEATER PLACEMENT Have an authorized dealer install the heater. If you install the heater yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans and/or installation. Draw out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions and verify the dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual. For built-in enclosures, when determining the location of the heater, locate the wall studs (for horizontal penetrations). You may wish to adjust the heater position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member. Heater must be positioned so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes, doors), 48" of the front of the heater. If the heater is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' above the base of the heater, the installation must follow the requirements in the section "Alcove Installations Requirements" W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 11 INSTALLATION OPTIONS NPS40: To install in a Residential or Mobile Home see the section "Mobile Home Requirements". For alcove installations see the section "Alcove Installation Requirements". For horizontal vent or vertical vent see the section "General Venting". See the section "Outside Air" for this option. NPI40: The insert can be adapted to vent out the rear or vertically. To install as an insert into an existing masonry fireplace factory built fireplace or a built in combustible enclosure see Insert Installation. FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS NPS40: The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full depth of the heater and extending a minimum 6" in front and on either side (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge). The floor protector must extend under and 2" beyond each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used). NPI40: In the case of the NPI40, the floor protector must have a R-value of 0.4 hr ft²°F BTU SAFETY FEATURES HIGH LIMIT SWITCH: Your heater is equipped with a high limit switch. In the event that the temperature of the heater approaches an unsafe operating temperature, this switch will shut down the pellet feed, which will eventually shut down the unit. If this happens, it is important to find out why the unit overheated. Contact your local dealer. LOW LIMIT SWITCH: This switch will automatically shut down the heater if the fire goes out. BLOWER OVER-RIDE SWITCH: Your heater is equipped with a convection blower that circulates hot air into your room. This switch will automatically turn the blower on, when the temperature at the back of the fire box reaches a certain temperature. The blower can cycle from your desired setting to maximum speed depending on the feed rate. When the heater cools back down, the blower will return to the initial setting. VACUUM SWITCH: This switch will sense lack of air flow through the heater and shut down the pellet feed. This lack of flow could be caused by a blocked vent. POWER FAILURE: In the event of a power failure, the heater will shut down. Once power is restored, the heater will re-start, unless the convection air temperature has gone above the high limit switch setting. If this happens, contact your local dealer. OUTSIDE AIR Available from your Napoleon Dealer (114KT) Outside air must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage, unventilated crawl space). NOTE: Wolf Steel Ltd. strongly suggests using outside air for all residential installations, especially for those that are energy efficient, air-tight homes. Outside air supply must not be over 15' long. Outside air vents must be made with 1 3/4" diameter or larger metal or aluminum duct with a metal screen attached to the end to keep out rodents (P.V.C. or other materials may not be used). The outside air inlet must not be above or within 12" of the chimney termination, must have a rain cap or down-turned elbow to prevent the water from entering and be located so that it will not become plugged by snow or other material. Outside air is mandatory for a combustible built-in enclosure install for the NPI40. W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 12 MOBILE HOME Installation into a manufactured home or mobile home should be installed in accordance with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, in the United States or the Mobile Home Standard, CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series, in Canada. The heater must be grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home (Some states do not require this; check with your local building department). ! Figure 5 WARNING Do not install in a sleeping room. The structural integrity of the manufactured home floor, wall, and ceiling roof must be maintained. GENERAL VENTING PELLET VENT MUST MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 3" CLEARANCE TO ANY COMBUSTIBLE (install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer). DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT OR CHIMNEY SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR HEATER. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. TYPE OF VENT Must be an approved 3" or 4" Diameter Type "L" or "PL" vent, vented to the outside or connect the vent to a factory built type "A" chimney using an adaptor; and/or stainless steel chimney liner for masonry fireplace installations. Use 4" diameter vent if vent or liner height is over 15' or if installation is over 4,000' above sea level. INSTALLING THE PELLET VENT The vent must have a support bracket every 5' when on the exterior wall. To achieve optimum performance, keep vent runs as short as possible, especially on horizontal installations. MAXIMUM VENTING: Maximum venting height is 33'. Maximum horizontal offset is 10'. Use no more than 180° of elbows (two 90' elbows, or two 45' elbows and one 90' elbow, etc), plus termination. VENT INSTALLATION: Termination must exhaust above the air inlet elevation, and parallel or above the exhaust output of the pellet appliance. It is recommended that at least 3' of vertical pipe be installed to create some natural draft. This is to help prevent the possibility of smoke or odour during the appliance shut down or in the event of a power outage. Horizontal sections must have a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel if longer than 3'. The pellet vent connections must be sealed with HI-Temp RTV Silicone and screwed together with at least 3 3/8" long stainless steel screws. Seal each vent section by injecting a liberal amount of 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone sealant into the gap. We recommend sealing the outside of the vent connections to permit easier access when servicing. Figure 6 W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 13 VENTING THE PELLET HEATER Use an approved wall thimble when passing the vent through walls and a ceiling support/fire stop spacer when passing the vent through ceilings (maintain a 3" clearance to any combustibles). PELLET VENT TERMINATION The vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering) or a 45° downturn. If the termination is located on a windy side of the house, a shield is recommended to prevent soot from building up on the side of the house. Horizontal terminations must protrude 12" from the wall, vertical terminations require a minimum 24" above the highest point that it penetrates through the roof. Depending on pellet quality, vent configuration and air settings, black soot may occur on the terminal wall.

Lower into place until both bushings touch. 3. Engage the latch hooks into the door frame. Snap the rear handle hook to lock the latch closed. Figure 33 (Insert Illustrated) LIGHTING HEATER MANUALLY Your heater can be lit manually without using the automatic igniter by following the procedure below. ! WARNING Heater may be hot. Other than placing a handful of pellets in the burn pot for lighting manually, never feed pellets through the glass viewing door. An "OVERFIRE" condition could occur, if more pellets enter the firebox then what the feed tube can deliver. Pellets must only be burned within the burn pot. 1. Press the start switch 2. Turn feed dial to "Optimum" 3. Place a "handful" of pellets into the burn pot. 4. Cover with a small amount of approved (non-volatile) fire starter gel. 5. Light fire starter with a match and close the viewing door. PROPER PELLET LOADING Before loading pellets into the hopper first transfer the pellets from it's original plastic bag to a metal bucket. NOTE: If the pellets are kept in the plastic bag, the bag may come in contact with the heater causing the bag to melt and the pellets to spill. DO NOT load pellets into the hopper if they have been exposed to moisture. Moisture can cause pellets to swell and cause blockage in the feed system. Thoroughly dry pellets before placing into hopper. W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 26 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The pellet heater can be operated with or without the ring in place over the burn pot. With the ring in place, a more efficient burn will occur, however more finer fly ash will be experienced. It may be necessary to clean the burn pot of ash more frequently. ! WARNING Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, lighter fluid to start or "freshen-up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such fluids away from heater when in use. Due to different installation set ups, length and size of venting and fuel quality, the low feed setting from the factory will not always be correct. It may be necessary to experiment with feed rate vs air control. (For example, #2 may be your lowest setting). Always operate this heater with the door closed. If this is the first time the heater has started or the heater has run out of pellets, the auger will need to be purged. Press "START" switch, turn the pellet feed dial to high to fill the auger full of pellets and pull the air control rod all the way out allowing air flow into the fire. If the heater does not reach the required temperature and turns off after 15 minutes, press the start switch again. This time turn the pellet feed dial to low, to prevent over filling the burn pot and continue with the start-up instructions below. START-UP 1. Press "START" switch 2. Rotate the Pellet feed dial rate to optimum 3. Adjust the air control rod to the preferred setting (this position will vary depending on venting configuration and fuel quality). 4. If the heater stops running after approximately 15 minutes, press "START" switch again. If no ignition is apparent and pellets are building up in the burn pot, remove pellets from the burn pot before restarting. ! WARNING Heater may be hot Blower Speed Dial By adjusting the Blower Speed dial you will vary the rate of airflow into the room by varying the speed of the convection blower. When you first start the heater, it should be placed in the "OFF" position in order to heat up the unit as quickly as possible. Once the room has come up to temperature, the control may be set to a comfortable level. NOTE: The convection blower may cycle to high automatically depending on the setting of the pellet feed rate and the Blower Speed. This is a normal safety feature of the unit. Once the heater has cooled down the blower will return to the set speed. ! WARNING It is not recommended to burn the unit on low or high. the most efficient setting is 4 (optimum). Pellet Feed Dial This switch controls the amount of heat output. The switch has a scale (dial) from 1 through 5. At setting 5 the pellet feed rate is the greatest. Pellet Feed Dial Auger Cycle Light Start Switch Figure 34 Blower Dial NOTE: The flashing amber light corresponds to the auger motor feeding the pellets. Wood pellets of different quality may affect the performance of the heater. If the heater has trouble operating at the ends of it's range, adjust the feed rate accordingly. SHUT-DOWN To turn your heater off, simply turn the feed dial counter-clockwise until the dial clicks to the "OFF" position. This will stop the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to run to cool the heater. When cool enough, the heater will shut down. DO NOT unplug unit while combustion blower is operating. This may lead to smoke escaping from the heater into the room. W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 27 GENERAL MAINTENANCE NPS40 AND NPI40 DAILY (WHENEVER USING THE HEATER) OPEN MAIN VIEWING DOOR ! WARNING The front of the heater becomes very hot during operation. Let the heater cool completely before conducting service. 1. Open the side doors on either side of the heater. Figure 35 Figure 36 2. On the right side of the heater are two latches. Release the latches by pulling the rear handle forward and disengaging the hook from the door frame. Swing open the viewing door. DISPOSAL OF ASHES Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The container should be placed on a non-combustible floor, well away from combustible materials, pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders are thoroughly cooled. INSPECT THE BURN POT When burning, the flames should be bright orange with embers jumping from the burn pot. Figure 37 CLEANING GLASS DOOR If the glass is not kept clean, permanent discolouration and/or blemishes may result. If glass should ever crack, it must be replaced using 5mm thick ceramic glass available from your Napoleon Dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT DO NOT use abrasive cleaners to clean glass or plated parts. DO NOT OPERATE THIS HEATER WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPEN W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 28 CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGE TUBES ! WARNING The front edge of the hopper lid becomes very hot, do not touch the area below the handle. Figure 38 ! WARNING This rod becomes very hot during operation. Wait till heater has cooled completely or you MUSt wear heat resistant gloves when cleaning or handling this heater. With the heater cool (or wearing heat resistant gloves), slide the heat exchange cleaner rod up and down several times to prevent the build up of ash on the heat exchange tubes. Keep the viewing door closed so the fly ash does not enter the room. NOTE: More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon pellet quality. MAKE SURE PELLETS ARE NOT PILING UP If the pellets build up over the burn pot, turn the pellet feed switch to "OFF". If the flames seem to be coming only from the sides, or are orange/black, turn the heater off and check for build up of pellets. The most likely causes are: 1. Feed rate has been set to maximum for an extended period of time. Turn feed rate to optimum. 2. The door, glass, or ash pan is open or has an air leak. 3. The burn pot requires cleaning. 4. The exhaust system requires cleaning. 5. The heater requires adjustment. 6. Poor pellet quality W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 Figure 39 29 CLEANING THE BURN POT ! WARNING Make certain the heater has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before opening the door and conducting service. To clean the burn pot, open the door and knock away any debris on the burn pot. If severely clogged, remove the burn pot to gain better access. If removing the burn pot set aside on a non-combustible surface. See Figure 40. Once removed, discard all material that has accumulated in the burn pot. Figure 40 Make certain that all openings are clear of any build up of ash from the ledge below the burn pot. Re-install the burn pot ensuring it sits level in the heater. Also must ensure the ignitor and the burn pot locating notch line up when reinstalling the burn pot. LOCATING NOTCH IGNITOR BI-WEEKLY (OR EVERY 10 BAGS OF PELLETS) VACUUM FIREBOX The more frequently you clean out the fly ash, the more efficient your heater will burn. ! WARNING The fire box becomes very hot during operation. Let the heater cool completely before conducting service. 1. Open the viewing door. See Figure 35 and 36 2. Lift the burn pot out and set aside on a non-combustible surface. See Figure 40. Remove the right and left louvres by lifting the louvres up and out of the firebox setting them on a non-combustible surface. LOUVRES FIREBOX AIR HOUSING Figure 41 W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 30 3. Vacuum out the firebox, louvres, air housing, burn pot and the opening at the top of the exhaust manifold of all fly ash. See Figure 42 and 43. 4. Replace the louvres and burn pot, latch the viewing door closed and close both side doors. Exhaust Manifold Opening Figure 42 Figure 43 SEMI-ANNUALLY (OR EVERY TWO TONS OF PELLET) NOTE: More frequent cleaning may be required depending on pellet quality. ! WARNING Disconnect the power cord prior to conducting service. The following section details extensive maintenance procedures. We strongly suggest these items be carried out by a trained service technician, possibly by a service agreement set up with your dealer. NOTE: The heater becomes very hot during operation. Let the heater cool completely and disconnect the power cord prior to conducting service. VACUUM HOPPER NPS40: Run the heater until the pellets run out, then open the hopper and vacuum out the entire hopper. The dust and any other debris near the bottom should be removed to prevent excessive build-up. Figure 44 Cleaning the Optional Plated Surfaces Fingerprints or other marks left on plated surfaces may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the heater on. Wipe the gold with a non-abrasive cleaning solvent and a soft cloth (make sure the heater is cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the finish. SOOT AND FLY ASH FORMATION The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary. W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 31 CLEAN THE VERTICAL EXHAUST DUCT If the PRPP40 or the brick kit NP841KT is in place, remove that accessory first. Figure 45 1. Open side door, release the latch and pivot the viewing door wide open. See Figure 35 and 36. 2. Remove the one screw on each exhaust port located on either side of the fire box. Remove the exhaust port doors and set aside on a non-combustible surface. Insert a vacuum into the exhaust port holes and remove as much fly ash as possible from behind the left and right exhaust manifolds. Once clean, replace the exhaust port doors and secure with the screws. CLEAN EXHAUST HOUSING (INSERT ONLY) To clean the exhaust blower and exhaust housing, the heater must be pulled out from the fireplace cavity. Remove the venting from the exhaust collar. If installed as a top vent, remove cover plate from the rear of the housing. If installed as a rear vent, remove the cover plate from the top of the housing. Vacuum out the housing back to blower outlet. See Figure 47. SEMI-ANNUALLY (OR EVERY TWO TONS OF PELLET) CLEAN THE EXHAUST BLOWER NOTE: Do not attempt this maintenance without a replacement exhaust blower motor mounting gasket. Nuts 1. Remove the six nuts holding the exhaust blower motor in place. 2. Pull the motor out being careful not to damage the wiring, unplug the two wires that are connecting the motor and gently set aside. (The pieces of gasket may be discarded. Figure 46 3. Start by cleaning the exhaust tube by feeding a brush or rag through the inside of the tube and out the exhaust blower housing. 4. Vacuum out the exhaust ports and the blower housing. 5. With a bristle brush vacuum, clean the blades of the motor. Figure 47 6. Place the new exhaust blower mounting gasket around the screw holes being very careful not to tear it. 7. Re-attach the wiring to the motor and place it back on to the housing, taking care that the side of the motor does not tear the gasket and then re-attach the nuts. W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 32 CHECK ALL SEALS Check for air leaks around the door, glass, and ash pan and replace gaskets as required. Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the heater's performance greatly, leading to excessive soot, inefficient burning, and may even cause a malfunction. Test the door seal by shutting the door on a piece of paper in various locations. If the paper can be easily slid out, air may be leaking around the door seal. Carefully inspect the door gasket and door catch. Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is fully attached. Heater gasket cement can be used to re-attach if necessary. If the door gasket is worn or flattened, replace. Check the door to make sure it latches correctly. The latch should engage with a slight amount of resistance, yet not be too difficult. If the glass is cracked, replace. CLEAN THE VENT Vent system should be cleaned using chimney sweep brushes. We recommend this be done by a qualified chimney sweep.

CAUTION: When checking connections, installing jumper wires (for test purposes only) or replacing components, unplug heater from the receptacle to prevent electrical shock or dampage to the component. NOTE: Many of the following tests will require that the side panels are removed from the stove or the insert be removed from its cavity to access the components. Before troubleshooting always confirm that all components are clean and free of ash build up. SYMPTOM The heater will not start TEST SOLUTION - Make certain there is power to the outlet and that the heater is plugged in. - With the heater unplugged, examine all connections. Make sure no exposed wires are touching the heater (except the chassis ground wire) and that they are all firmly connected. - Check the manual reset hi limit switch - Check the stability and placement of connections against the wiring diagrams in this manual. - Check that the burn pot is positioned properly. - Push the "START" switch. If the heater fails to start, unplug the unit. - Ensure that connections to the power control module are connected. - Place a jumper wire between the red and white wires that attach to the start switch. - Plug stove in, if stove starts replace switch. - Replace the power control if this fails. CAUTION: Check the ignitor resistance before installing a new start-up timer as it may result in another failure to the new start-up timer due to a short in the ignitor. The proper resistance through the ignitor should be 30Ω to 50Ω (± 3Ω). Smoke in the room The exhaust blower is not operating The ignitor will not light the pellets however everything else in the heater operates - Check all gasket seals. - Vent connections all sealed. - Unit has failed to reach 140°F within 15 minutes and the blower has shut off. - Restart unit. NOTE: A minimal amount of smoke is normal during the start up process. - Remove the left side access panel and check all connections against the wiring diagram. For the insert - remove from cavity. - Apply 115V AC directly to the exhaust blower and if the motor does not run, replace the blower. - If the motor runs, have a dealer check the wire harness. - See "The heater will not operate when hot" section - Contact your local dealer or a certified technician for service. - Push the burn pot back against the ignitor tube making sure the ignitor lines up to the hole in the burn pot. - Make certain the air control rod is pushed in to start up position. - Check all the electrical connections on the 120°F (49°C) temperature sensor located on the exhaust channel. - Place a jumper wire between the two leads on the 120°F (49°C) temperature sensor and if the ignitor works, replace the sensor. - If it still fails to light, replace the ignitor. - Make certain the exhaust blower is operating The auger motor - Check the condition of the vacuum hose (located on the left side of the heater). Should is not functioning not be cracked or torn. normally - Check the manual reset button on the 200°F (93°C) temperature sensor. Before re-setting the red button, check for the cause of the over-heating. - Check that the auger set screw is tight and not slipping. - If the auger still does not work, then apply 115V AC directly to the auger motor. If it still does not work, replace it. - Check the auger by bypassing the 200°F (93°) temperature sensor with a jumper wire. If auger works, replace the sensor. - Check the vacuum sensor by placing a jumper wire between the blue wire and the black wire that are attached to the sensor. If the auger works, test to see if the exhaust blower is producing enough vacuum (may require cleaning). - If not, replace the vacuum sensor. W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 41 TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED SYMPTOM TEST SOLUTION Feed rate dial has - Secure all connections to the power control module. no effect on the - Perform a resistance test to the potentiometer by placing the two test leads fire (timer control from a multi meter into the leads of the potentiometer. The potentiometer should have a only) range of 850 KΩ (± 10%). Potentiometer Readings: Full counter-clockwise (switched off) = open circuit, overload or infinite resistance Low fire .......... 900 KΩ to 1,050 KΩ High fire ......... 56 KΩ to 62 KΩ If the range is not close or does not vary then replace the potentiometer. The convection blower is not functioning normally - Using the wiring diagram, compare all the connections between the controller, switch, and the convection blower. - If the convection motor will not run, apply 115V AC to the motor directly. Replace the blower controller if the motor runs. The convection blower has failed if the motor does not run. Replace the blower. - If the convection blower runs on high at all times (no control with the blower controller), check the connections from the 160°F (71°C) sensor (located on the upper left side on the rear of the fire wall) and convection blower controller to the blower. Disconnect one of the wires from the sensor and if control of the convection blower returns to the blower controller, replace the sensor. - If the motor is still on high, re-connect the sensor and replace the convection blower controller. The heater will not operate when hot General - Check the hopper for fuel. - Incorrect air damper setting may cause excessive air to consume the fire too quickly before the next drop of fuel. Therefore leaving the fuel completely unburned in the burn pot and will cause the fuel to burn cold and very slowly. Fuel also may build up and smother the fire. NOTE: The unit may require a change to the vent system or installation of fresh air to correct air to fuel ratio problems. - Combustion blower failure may occur because it is not turning fast enough to generate the proper vacuum in the fire box. Do a visual check to see if the motor is turning. - Check vacuum levels in the exhaust channel by bypassing the vacuum switch, then remove the vacuum hose from vacuum switch. When checking the vacuum exhaust place the open end of the vacuum hose on the gauge (readings must be above 0.10" W.C. on low fire). (NOTE: if the motor fails to reach a 0.10" W.C., then replace the combustion blower). - Poor quality fuel may not produce enough heat to keep the stove burning or operational. - If the exhaust temperature sensor fails try bypassing the sensor located on the exhaust blower. If the stove operates properly, the unit may require cleaning or a new sensor. Contact your local deal for service. - Unplug the stove, open the left side panel and jump the two brown leads that are attached to the 140°F (60°C) temperature sensor. If the stove operates replace the 140°F (60°C) sensor. W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 42 TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED SYMPTOM TEST SOLUTION The 200°F (93°) high limit temperature sensor has tripped - Reset the sensor and determine whether it was the convection blower or 160°F (71°C) temperature sensor failure. Bypass the 160°F (71°C) sensor. Does the convection blower not come on high? If no than replace the blower. The heater will not turn off - Disconnect one of the brown wires from the exhaust temperature sensor and if the unit continues to operate, contact your local dealer for service. - Compare the wiring diagram to the start control module and the connections to the 140°F (60°C) temperature sensor. Check the connections. - Remove one of the brown wires from the 140°F (60°C) temperature sensor. The heater should be shut down right away as long as the start button was not pressed within 15 minutes of this test. If the heater shuts down within 15 minutes, replace the 140°F (60°C) sensor. If the heater does not shut down in 15 minutes, test the switch. - The heater must be cold to test the switch. Pull the plug, then plug the heater back in. If the heater fails to start, replace the switch. The heater keeps going out - Due to different installation set ups, length and size of venting and fuel quality, the low feed setting from the factory will not always be correct. It may be necessary to experiment with feed rate vs air control. (For example, #2 may be your lowest setting). - If the heater goes out and leaves fresh unburned pellets or cigarette-like ashes in the burn pot, the fire is going out before the heater shuts off. - Check to see if the air control rod is in the correct position. - Turn the feed rate up slightly (poor quality pellets will require slightly higher settings). - Check to see if the heater needs a more complete cleaning as well as the burn pot, venting, etc... - Was there a power failure? - Contact your local dealer for service - If the heater goes out and there are no pellets in the liner, the auger is stopping. - See "The auger motor will not function normally" and "The exhaust blower will not function normally". Excessive carbon - Check quality of pellets. Even pellets from the same manufacturer can vary in quality build up in the since the materials they use to form pellets may also vary. firebox, low heat - Moisture content of pellets too high. Pellets must be stored in a dry place. Areas such out put as a garage are too damp causing pellets to absorb moisture. Unit is burning dirty and lazy W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 - Check that all exhaust and intake pathways are clear of any obstructions. - Burn pot is clean. - Pellets are dry. - Venting and terminal are clear of obstructions. - Exhaust blower is operation and is clean. 43 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE LOG OWNERSHIP RECORDS Dealer's Name: Dealer's Address: City: State/Province: Zip Code/Postal Code: Serial Number: Date of Purchase: Date Installed: Notes: SERVICE DATE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SERVICE DESCRIPTION W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08 44 NOTES W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08
