The manual says to set the feed rate to 4 to start with. How do you know if it needs to be increased or decreased? I am burning the remaining pellets from last year with a reported ash content of 0.5%.
wil said:I found on my pb105 boiler that if you set the dipswitch # 1 off, # 2 off, #3 on, less pellets fed into the burnpot, less smoke, quicker igniting of the pellets. When using these settings, the pellets do not fill the burnpot covering the igniter, rather just to the edge of the igniter location. You might try these settings to see if they will work for you.
I have, at least 5 have been replaced, had a Harman factory rep come to look at it even. Harman now is going to install the new ignition system in my boiler. It is strange to me, some boilers are doing this and some aren't. My friend got one a short time after I got mine and he hasn't had a problem with the burnpot. I read somewhere that the pf100 has this issue with the burnpot too, at least some do. I reset the dip switches to the settings that I mentioned after I noticed the bubble starting to form in the burnpot I have now. This bubble hasn't got any bigger since so....... I don't know.exoilburner said:wil said:I found on my pb105 boiler that if you set the dipswitch # 1 off, # 2 off, #3 on, less pellets fed into the burnpot, less smoke, quicker igniting of the pellets.

wil, have you had any problem with your burn pot forming a bump above your igniter?
