Hi, I just started using my 6039 again, after a few years. I know that the A button adjusts the feed auger and the B button adjusts the combustion fan. I have forgotten why two different sets of numbers come up with each when pressing them. EX. I press A, I get 2-5 in the displays, I press A again I get 3-7 in the display. I press B, I get 7-0 in the display and the red light above C comes on, I press B again, I get 0-0 in the display and the red light above B comes on. If I press either a third time it goes back to Heat Range and Blower Fan numbers. Can anyone tell me what those settings would be for? I know there are a few guys on here that swear by these stoves, and even a guy that worked at USSC at some point. Just looking to be as efficient as possible by becoming more informed than the instruction manual can provide.
 
Can anyone tell me what those settings would be for?

I can't thank you enough for this information ARC. I appreciate every bit of this information. Also, I wasn't aware there were so many versions of this ABC board. I will check this afternoon when I get home from work for the version I have. Also, my dad has a 6041 with the 4 button board, would it be worth my while to upgrade from the ABC to the 4-button? Thanks again.

P.S. I had a feeling that the numbers for the A button were referencing PPH high and low, same with the B button referencing the combustion fan.
