Too rich air/fuel mixture 

•  Clean out the burn plate and burn pot. 

•  Check that the ash pan slides are completely closed. 
•  Make sure that the viewing door is shut and sealed tightly.  If not, adjust the 

door catch and/or replace the gaskets. 

•  Check that the outside air connection is clear of any obstructions. 

•  Check that the hopper lid is sealed tightly. 
•  Check the exhaust system, clean as needed. 

Orange, lazy flame—excessive 
fuel build-up in the burn pot 

Firepot burns out of fuel 

Fire goes out or stove shuts 
down.  Lower auger turns, but 
no fuel is feeding.  

•  Hopper is empty, refill the hopper. 

•  Loss of draft pressure.  Check that the main door, ash pan slides, and hopper lid 

are all sealed tightly.  Check that the outside air connection is clean and clear of 
any obstructions.  Check the exhaust system, clean as needed. 

•  Auger system is jammed or there is “bridging” of the fuel in the hopper, prevent-

ing fuel from flowing into the auger feed system.   

fails to ignite the fuel in the burn pot 

Stove does not start a fire 
when “ON” button is pushed.    

•  Turn the stove “OFF”.  Clear the unspent fuel from the burn pot and try again. 

•  Check that the auto-start igniter is not blocked with ash or soot (the igniter is 

located behind the 3/8” diameter hole located on the back wall of the burn pot).  
NOTE:  The gasket between the burn pot and rear firewall is critical for the flow 

of hot air from the auto-start igniter into the burn pot.  If you have previously 
removed the burn pot, this gasket must be replaced. 

•  The Auto-Start Igniter gets “red hot” during start-up.  If you can not visibly see 

the igniter glowing during start-up, then the auto-start igniter may need to be 
replaced or there is a problem with the electrical control system.  

•  Check the pellet quality.  Replace if moist, wet, or dirty. 
•  Loss of draft pressure.  Check that the main door, ash pan slides, and hopper lid 

are all sealed tightly.  Check that the outside air connection is clean and clear of 
any obstructions.  Check the exhaust system, clean as needed.  The safety pres-

sure switch will not supply power to the auto-start igniter if there isn’t suffi-
cient draft pressure inside the stove.
