V. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
1. Trouble Shooting
Your KOZI pellet heater is equipped with a diagnostic light feature. When a problem
occurs, the heat setting bar graph will light up to indicate where the problem may be.
Each light has been numbered for easy identification. The chart below has been included
to help you determine which corrective action should be taken. A complete description of
each corrective action is included in the following pages of this manual. Some problems,
such as flame problems, will not cause the diagnostic lights to light up.
