The ESP probe in the exhaust will sense the flue gas temperatures and adjust the feed rate in order to maintain a stove temperature relative to the setting on the dial. The blower Speed may be adjusted by turning the blower to the desired setting. Turbo Operation: Turning the feed rate into the Turbo range will provide approximately 5000 btu's more than in Normal range. Shut-Down Procedure To kill the fire or stop burning the stove, turn the Mode Selector to "OFF". This will cause the fire to diminish and burn out. When the fire burns out and the stove cools down, everything will stop. If you pull the plug to shut down the stove, all motors will stop. This may cause incomplete combustion and smoke in the firebox. If the load door is opened the smoke may escape. The best way to shut down the stove is simply let it run out of pellets, then turn the control to "OFF".

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. It is recommended that the stove is cold and shut down when removing ash pan. 1. Pull on latch handles and remove ash pan as shown at left. Use ash pan handle to carry and dispose of ashes. 2. Slide the ash pan back into the stove and latch by pushing in on both latches simultaneously. Cleaning The stove will need to be cleaned for approximately every 2 to 5 tons of pellets burned. The amount of pellets burned before cleaning will vary depending on the brand of pellets. 1. Shut down stove and disconnect power cord to insure that all motors are stopped. 2. Open burn pot clean-out. Clean fly ash from burn pot and replace cover. 3. Clean heat exchanger with scraper as shown in fig 27. 4. Brush or scrape the inside of the stove to remove fly ash. 5. Scrape burnpot with flat end of scraper provided with the stove. Fig. 33. 6. Remove ash pan. 7. Remove combustion blower cover by turning the blower cover latch vertical, see Fig.26. Sliding the cover out of the slot on the left.This will expose the combustion blower wheel and flue outlet, Fig.27. Maintenance P38+ Pellet Stove 16 8. Clean the blower wheel with a brush and a vacuum cleaner. 9. Use a brush to clean the flue, being careful not to damage the ESP probe, see Fig. 30. The flue goes straight through into the vent pipe (Fig.27) therefore, the vent pipe can also be cleaned to some extent through the flue outlet. 10. Reinstall blower cover and relatch. 11.Slide ash pan into stove and latch into place. Fig. 24 Soot and Fly Ash The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater, will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary. ESP Probe Fig. 22 Be careful not to damage ESP probe when cleaning with brush. Fig. 23 Brush not supplied. Can be found in hardware stores. Latch "closed "with blower cover in place. Burn pot clean-out is closed. Latch "open "with blower cover partly removed. Burn pot cleanout is open. Exposed blower wheel and flue opening, NOTE: ESP probe is visible. Blower cover removed. ESP probe Fig. 19 Fig. 20 Fig. 21 Maintenance Trouble Shooting P38+ Pellet Stove P38+ Pellet Stove Trouble Shooting 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 fire. 3. Feed motor has failed. 4. Something is restricting flow 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 tubes may need to be cleaned. 4. Combination of all the above. SMOKE SMELL Seal the vent pipe joints and connection to stove with silicone. FIRE HAS GONE OUT 1. No pellets in hopper. 2. Feed rate too low. 3. Something is restricting fuel flow. 4. Feed motor or draft motor has failed. 5. Power failure or blown fuse. SMOKE IS VISIBLE COMING OUT OF VENT 1. Air-fuel rat...
