FEEDER DOES NOT FEED
1. No pellets in hopper.
2. Feed motor will not run until ESP senses 165 deg.
F. Maybe you did not put enough pellets in the burn
pot before lighting the re.
3. Feed motor has failed.
4. Something is restricting ow in the hopper or causing
the slide plate to stick.
5. Firebox draft may be too low for low draft pressure
switch in feeder circuit to operate. Check for closed
doors, loose or missing gasket on doors or hopper
lid, faulty pressure switch.
PARTIALLY BURNED PELLETS
1. Feed rate too high.
2. Draft too low. (Check burn pot clean-out slide and
door gasket).
3. Burn pot or heat exchanger ns may need to be
cleaned.
4. Combination of all of the above.
SMOKE SMELL
Seal the vent pipe joints and connection to stove with
high temp silicone.
FIRE HAS GONE OUT
1. No pellets in hopper.
2. Feed rate too low.
3. Something is restricting fuel ow.
4. Feed motor or draft motor has failed.
5. Power failure or blown fuse.
SMOKE IS VISIBLE COMING OUT OF VENT
1. Air-fuel ratio is too rich.
A. Feed rate too high.
B. Draft too low caused by a gasket leak.
LOW HEAT OUTPUT
1. Feed rate too low
2. Draft too low because of gasket leak.
3. Poor quality or damp pellets
4. Combination of 1. and 2.
Trouble-Shooting
Cleaning Burn Pot
Whenever your stove is not burning, take the
opportunity to scrape the burn pot to remove carbon
buildup. A vacuum cleaner is handy to remove the
residue. Be sure the stove is cold if you use a vacuum.
Carbon buildup can be scraped loose with the re
burning using the special tool provided with your stove.
Scrape the oor and sides of the burn pot. The carbon
will be pushed out by the incoming fuel. Always wear
gloves to do this.
Removing Ashes
Turn the Temperature Dial to minimum approximately
30 minutes before removing ashes. This will result in a
cooler stove and ash pan.
Maximum feed settings are not needed in most cases.
Operating in the normal range is recommended when
maximum heat output is not required. The ESP probe
prevents the stove from being over-red.
Keep the stove free of dust and dirt.
Helpful Hints
Pellet fuels are put into 3 categories in terms of ash content. Premium at 1% or less, Standard at 3% or less
and all others at 3% or more.
The P61 is capable of burning all 3 categories of pellets due to a patented feeder and burn pot system.
It should be noted, however, that higher ash content will require more frequent ash removal and may provide
less BTU's per lb. Normally, standard and high ash pellets cost less than premium pellets and can be cost effec-
tive when burned in the P61.
The moisture content must not exceed 8%. Higher moisture will rob BTU's and may not burn properly.
