a. The junction box is located on the right side of the
stove. It contains the heat output controls, reset
button, call light and fuse holder.
b. The junction box and the wiring harness are
replaced as one component.
7. THERMOSTAT
a. The stove is designed to run on a 24 volt AC
thermostat.
NOTE: The heat anticipator should be set on
the lowest setting available. Also, check the
wire leads at the terminal block located at the
back of the stove for loose connections.
8. CONTROL BOX
a. The control box plugs into the side of the junction
box. It is secured by a retainer bracket for shipping
purposes only. To access the control box, simply
bend the retainer bracket out of the way.
Note: After 2 or 3 bends, the bracket will break
off. Discard the broken piece.
If the stove has just been plugged in and the
combustion blower does not start, check snap disc
#3, then check to make sure the stove is plugged
in. Next, check the control box to see that it is
securely plugged in. Also check the fuse to see that
it is not blown. If this does not solve the problem,
consult your local dealer.
NOTE: To see the temperature indicator lights,
the right side panel must be open.

box notifies you that the stove has reached a
temperature of 200°F (93°C) in the repot. After

a. The fuse is on the front of the junction box, located
on the right side of the stove. To access fuse,
open the right side panel. To inspect the fuse,
push the fuse holder in and turn the holder cap
counterclockwise, then pull out. Replace with a
standard 7 amp 120 volt fuse, if necessary. If
the fuse continues to blow, contact your local
dealer.
3. RED CALL LIGHT

to the fuse. The function of the red call light is to
indicate that the thermostat is calling for heat.
b. If the thermostat is calling for heat, the stove is
burning, and the light is not on, check the bulb.
Replace with a 28 volt AC (#85 lamp) bulb.
4. RESET BUTTON
a. The reset button is located on the back of the
stove in the upper right hand corner just below
the heat output switch (see Fig. A on page 12).
The function of the button is to momentarily open
the thermostat circuit, which restarts the system.
However, this will only work when the thermostat is
calling for heat and the red light is on.
b. If the light is on, there is no fire, and there is
fuel in the repot, push the reset button and wait
for ignition. You should have a fire within five
minutes.
c. If the light does not go out when the reset button
is pushed, the reset button switch may be faulty.
Contact your local dealer.
5. VACUUM SWITCH
a. The vacuum switch is located on the right side of
the stove. This switch turns the feed system on
when vacuum is present in the rebox. Check the
rubber hose for leaks or cracks if the feed system
fails to start. Also, be sure there is no restriction
in the exhaust system and the exhaust blower is
running. The vacuum switch is a safety device
to shut off the feed motor under the conditions
below.
