10. Fuses
There are three fuses. Two fuses are located on
the inside of the control board. One fuse is AC and
operates the igniter and the other fuse is DC and
operates all of the other components. The third fuse is
located in the power supply. A fuse will blow should a
short occur and shut off power to the appliance. The
fuses can only be replaced by an authorized dealer.
11. Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is located behind the bafe and
it transfers heat from the exhaust system into the
convection air chamber. Remove the cast iron bafe to
access the heat exchanger.
12. Hopper Lid Switch
The hopper lid switch is located on the right side inside
the hopper. It senses whether the hopper lid is open
and displays an icon on the wall control and will turn off
the feed motor.
13. Igniter (Heating Element)
The igniter is mounted on the base of the re pot.
Combustion air travels over the red hot igniter creating
super heated air that ignites the pellets or other fuels.
14. Low Fuel Indicator
The low fuel indicator is attached to the left side of the
hopper. It senses the amount of fuel in the hopper and
will display an icon on the wall control.
15. Optical Switch for the Auger
The optical switch is located on top of the feed system
and communicates to the wall control that the auger is

A. Component Functions
1. Auto-Clean Motor
The auto-clean motor is located under and behind
the re pot on the left side, inside the convection air
chamber. It automatically opens and closes the re pot
oor so ashes can fall into the ash pan.
2. Auto-Clean Switch
The auto-clean switch is located on top of the auto-
clean motor. It communicates to the control board
when the re pot oor is open and when the auto-clean
system has completed its cycle and is back in the home
(closed) position.
3. 12 Volt Battery Back-Up Cable (Optional Accessory)
This is an optional accessory. It will plug into the
appliance at the rear of the appliance. An icon will
display on the wall control when the appliance has lost
main power and is running on battery back-up.
4. Combustion (Exhaust) Blower
The combustion (exhaust) blower is mounted in the
bottom right rear of appliance. The blower is designed
to pull the exhaust from the appliance and push it out
through the venting system.
5. Control Board
The control board is located on the lower left side of
appliance. It controls the functioning of the appliance
and communicates with the wall control. The control
board can only be opened by an authorized dealer.
6. Convection Blower
The convection blower is mounted at the bottom left
rear of the appliance. The convection blower pushes
heated air through the heat exchange system into the
room.
7. Door Switch
The door switch is mounted on the right side of the
rebox behind the door handle. It senses when the
door is open and will display an icon on the wall control,
and will turn off the auto-clean system and feed motor
for safety.
8. Feed System
The feed system is located on the right side of the
appliance and can be removed as an entire assembly.
The assembly includes the feed motor, mounting
bracket, bearing and feed spring (auger). The hollow
feed spring (auger) pulls pellets up the feed tube from
the hopper area and drops them down the feed chute
into the re pot.
9. Fire pot
The re pot is made of high quality ductile iron. The
oor of the re pot automatically opens for cleaning and
is operated by the auto-clean re pot system. The oor
needs to return to a completely closed position or the
appliance will not operate properly.

spinning or if it has stopped.
16. Power Receptacle
The power receptacle is located on the lower rear
of the appliance. Check the wall receptacle for 120

grounded and has the correct polarity. A good quality
surge protector is highly recommended to protect the
electronics.
17. Power Supply
The power supply is located at the rear of the
appliance. It converts 120 volt AC current to 15 volt DC
current to power the appliance.
