It came with the house we are renting. We had it completely cleaned by a stove guy before we starstarted using it. We use it on a daily basis, we just have an issue with having to clean out the burn pot a couple times a day. It will get so filled up that the flames will go up the Pellet chute and jam up and the stove shuts down. We try not to let it get to that point.
We use north American pellets from tractor supply. We have tried an assortment but it seems as though all the other pellets jam up the auger

You more than likely have a dirty stove/vent and air flow issue. Everyone has a different definition of a completely cleaned stove. Were you there when the tech did a cleaning? If so, what did he do exactly?
Please answer #3.
Has the stove been acting like this since you've been using it?

We burn about 1 bag a day. Yes I was here when he cleaned it. Just started doing it about a month ago. We have been using the stove for a couple months
I'm not sure how to do that. I can't locate the owners manual. I have 3 buttons on the bottom of the panel and then I have the heat speed and blower speed
If they are burning a bag a day for a couple months without a complete cleaning, it's over due....although the NA pellets are average at best IMO.
One quick thing you can check is the OAK (outside air kit 2" flex vent connected behind the stove)...assuming it is connected to the stove....check the inlet on the outside of the house and make sure it isn't clogged up with anything.

Don't know how to adjust settings.
From left to right...those bottom 3 buttons....press one at a time and post the values of each.....should be 1-4-1

This is what the back of the stove looks like...... We have the back and the sides off due to ongoing issues
Can you post a pic of the entire vent setup, inside and outside the house?
Don't forget to check the inlet of the OAK and make sure it isn't clogged with anything.

Here is the manual for your stove. I would suggest reading this front to back at least 2x just to give you an idea of things.
