well, if you actually have your settings at 1-9-1, you have the absolute minimum fuel feed, and the absolute maximum amount of combustion air. you always want to leave the on air temp at 1. If I had to guess, looking at those settings, i would say you are blowing the fire out with too much air. until you can talk to Mike Holton from Englander, you're going to have to experiment with the LFF and LBA buttons. I have no experience with your model stove, but I know the defaults for most 55-shp10s and 55-shp22s is 6-4-1. i would turn the air down. Maybe try to run it on the factory defaults. as long as you leave the on air temp at 1, you can hurt anything by experimenting with the other 2 settings. good luck
Left button is auger speed. Controls how many pellets are being feed into burn pot. The higher the number the more pellets being fed.
Center button is combustion fan speed. Controls how much air is being blown into burn pot. The higher the number the hotter the pellets will burn.
The right button is room air fan switch. Sets the temp at which the blower fan turns on.
I have a 25PI(insert) ant tthey told me the factory settings were 541... I was having a lot of Klinks( hard crusty pellets left in burn pot), and using too many pellets. They had me adjust my auger speed down to 3 which is making my pellets last longer and almost elliminated my klinks, without reducing my heat output.
I was getting a busy signal when calling them, but just kept calling back. Got through and placed on hold, got in touch with a tech and he answered all my questions. He also explained my settings and gave me sugestions on what to do next if I still had problems.
