Austroflamm Integra V1 Burn Problems

• Whenever I turn on the stove at whatever setting I have no problem starting it then after a few hours the stove seems to go down to it's lowest setting automatically and burn a very small flame. Until I open the door clean the burn pot close it and then turn up the stove.
• There are also times (Has only happen once or twice) when I will open the door clean the burn pot and the auger will not turn on and the stove will eventually shut down but the combustion fan will kick up on to high.
• It also seems as the the motors including the auger seem to run a bit erratically this may just be me being paranoid but they seem to go from fast to slow erratically. This only occurs after the few hour period of it running when the flame seems to die down again.
• I am not sure if this is considered a lazy flame.

• Early Austroflamm Integra
• Did a good cleaning at the begining of this year. I have burned about 1 ton of pellets and did a Good cleaning about a week ago (Cleaned convection blower pipes to blower, Chimney T. Only thing I didn't clean was the heat exchange tubes I'm planning on doing that this week.)
• Replaced Auger Motor Last year
• Replaced Convection blower last year
• Replaced Door Gasket Last year
• Replaced window Gasket Last year.
• Got the Air sensor and Control board checked for faults last year.

Sounds a little dirty and a little Austroflamm-ey. Clean behind the plates and the passage that Flamman described, if you haven't already. Do the dollar bill test on the door gaskets and adjust your latch, if needed. Make sure you have gaskets where they're supposed to be on your glass. It sounds like you may have restriction or air leakage somewhere. The inconsistant blower speed may be normal, mine varies quite a bit. Do you know where your auger and combustion blower pots are set? Have you ever adjusted them? How does it run on higher settings?

The potentiometer locations are described in the manual. They are located on the small user control circuit board. The auger feed rate pot is accessible through the small hole from the front near the firing rate knob. The combustion fan speed trim pot is accessed from the back. You need to remove the right side trim panel to get to it. Be careful doing this and make sure you don't short anything out. It might be best to unplug the stove and adjust it all the way up and try to adjust the combustion with the auger feed pot from the front. Mine are adjusted all the way up on the air and all the way down with the auger feed. It burns better on lower settings this way for me. It all depends on your pellets and your installation. Different installations require different settings. Once you get it tuned the way you want, you really don't need to mess with them anymore, unless something else changes. When you get your stove set the way it likes, these things will crank!
