IMPORTANT WARNINGS

CAUTION: Read this manual thoroughly before starting installation. For your safety, follow the installation, operation and maintenance instructions exactly without deviation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a possible fire hazard and will void the warranty. If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. Contact local building or fire officials about requirements and installation inspection in your area.

1. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY

FLUE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

2. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or any air distribution system.

3. Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this appliance.

The auger is capable of doing serious harm to fingers. Keep pellets in the hopper at all times and keep fingers away from auger. The auger can start and stop automatically at any time while the stove is running.

4. Do not use class B venting intended for gas appliances as a chimney or connector pipe on a pellet fired appliance.

5. The minimum clearances must be maintained for all combustible surfaces and materials including; furniture, carpet, drapes, clothing, wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood within this clearance space.

12. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An appliance hot enough to warm your home can severely burn anyone touching it. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.

Do not let children touch the appliance. Train them to stay a safe distance from the unit.

6. INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER - This stoves exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure.

Therefore, it is imperative that the exhaust system be gas tight (air tight, sealed connection) and installed correctly. Since Lennox Hearth Products has no control over the installation of your stove,

Lennox Hearth Products grants no warranty, implied or stated for the installation or maintenance of your stove, and assumes no responsibility for any consequential damage(s).

13. APPROVED FUEL: This appliance is designed specifically for use only with pelletized wood fuels only. With its advanced UltraGrate

TM

technology, this appliance is designed and approved for the burning of wood residue pellets with up to 3% ash content. This appliance is NOT approved to burn cardboard, nut hulls, cherry pits, corn, etc. regardless if it is in pellet form. Failure to comply with this restriction will void all warranties and the safety listing of the stove. Consult with your authorized

Lennox Hearth Products dealer for approved pellet fuels.

7. Burning any kind of fuel consumes oxygen. If outside air is not ducted to the appliance, ensure that there is an adequate source of fresh air available to the room where the appliance is installed.

8. The stove will not operate using natural draft, nor without a power source for the blower and fuel feeding systems.

14. FLY ASH BUILD-UP: For all wood pellet fuelburning heaters, the combustion gases will contain small particles of fly ash. This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel being burned. Over time, the fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. The exhaust venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary.

9. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

15. SOOT FORMATION: Incomplete combustion can occur during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater. This can lead to some soot collecting in the exhaust venting system. A precautionary inspection on a regular basis is advisable to determine the necessity of cleaning. The exhaust venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary.

10. CONTINUOUS OPERATION: When operated correctly, this appliance cannot be overfired. Continuous operation at a maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the electrical components

(blowers, motors, and electronic controls), and is not recommended. Typical approved operation would include running at the low to mid range setting with occasional running on the maximum setting during the coldest periods of the winter. The room air blower speed control should be turned to high when operating the stove on the high heat setting.

16. DISPOSING OF ASHES: Any ashes removed from the pellet stove must be deposited in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, outside of the dwelling pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

11. CAUTION: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER.

Pellet fuel is fed to the UltraGrate

TM

by a screw auger. This auger is driven by a high torque motor.

17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL

A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood pellet burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacturers’ instructions.

The installation of this appliance must conform to local codes and applicable state and federal requirements.

Familiarity with these requirements before installation is essential. Important considerations to discuss with local building officials include:

1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code,

State or Regional Codes).

Electrical codes:

In USA, NEC, ANSI / NFPA 70 – Latest Edition

In Canada, CSA C22.1 – Latest Edition

Power Supply Requirements

– The power cord must be plugged into a standard, 115 volt, 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. The approximate power requirement is

362 Watts, and will peak up to 736 Watts for approximately 6 minutes when the self-igniter is operating (it will turn off 2 minutes after flame detection). The power cord must be routed to avoid contact with any of the hot or sharp exterior surface areas of the stove. When installed into a manufactured (mobile) home, the appliance must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis

(see page 8,

Manufactured [Mobile] Home Requirements

). These requirements must be met unless otherwise specified by state or local authorities.

WARNING - ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IN-

STRUCTIONS: THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED

3. Is a permit required - cost?

You may wish to contact your insurance company to ask if they require this.

4. Is outside combustion air required?

5. Rooms where the installation is not allowed?

INSTALLATION / MAINTENANCE STANDARDS

National Fire Protection Association

– The primary

NFPA standard that refers to installation and maintenance of pellet appliances and venting is NFPA 211 –

Latest Edition: Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid

Fuel appliances.

SELECTING A LOCATION

The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine its value as a source of heat. A pellet stove depends primarily on air circulation (convection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central location is often best. There are other practical considerations, which must be considered before a final selection of locations is made.

♦

Existing Chimneys

♦

Pellet Fuel Storage

♦

Aesthetic Considerations

♦

Roof Design (rafter locations & roof pitch)

♦

Room Traffic

♦

Proximity to Combustibles

♦

Electrical Wiring

The installation of this stove will require some research.

Once your options are determined, consult with your local building department who will be able to give you the necessary installation requirements for your area (Is a building permit required? Rooms where installation may not be allowed, etc.).

WARNING: CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND

SAFETY CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION. THE IN-

STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPROPRIATE

CODE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED EX-

ACTLY AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE. ALTERA-

TIONS TO THE STOVE ARE NOT ALLOWED. DO

NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY SYS-

TEM SERVING ANOTHER STOVE, APPLIANCE, OR

ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. FAILURE TO FOL-

LOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE

MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.

SMOKE DETECTORS

Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by the stove). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.



FLOOR PROTECTION – Advantage II-T C FS

(For USA and Canada) This appliance requires 3/8" (10 mm) minimum noncombustible floor protection designed for solid fuel burning appliances having a thermal conductivity of k = .84 BTU in/ft or equivalent. If the floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continuous

below).

If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2" (51 mm) to either side. The floor protector must fully cover the area beneath the appliance and extend 6” to the front, 6” to the sides, and up to 6” from the back (see illustration above and following note).

*Note: When installed at clearances less than 6”, the floor protection is only required to extend to the wall.

IN/BTU with a minimum thickness of 3/8”. With these values, determine the minimum thickness of the alternate material required using the formula(s) and the table shown here (see chart -

Approved

Alternate Materials for Floor/Hearth Protection).

Note: Any noncombustible material having a minimum thickness of 3/8” (10 mm) whose k value is less than .84 or whose r value is more than 1.19 is acceptable. If the alternate material used has a higher k value or lower r value will require a greater thickness of the material used. In some cases, if the k value is less or the r value higher, a thinner material may be used.

Methods of determining floor protection equivalents:

To determine the thickness required for the alternate material when either the k value or r value is known, use either the k formula or r formula:

Example: Durock



Cement is to be used for the floor protection. How thick must this material be? The following formulas give the means of determining minimum thickness required.

“pop” rivets and #8 self-tapping screws. If you do not have a “pop” rivet tool, you should arrange to buy or borrow one for this installation.

3. Set the stove on the hearth so that the rear of the stove is accessible to complete all pipe connections.

4. Verify that the hopper cover is all the way to the front and open as high as your fireplace opening will allow. Secure the hopper cover with at least two #8 screws on all three sides. Tip: Spreading the side panels slightly may be necessary to complete this step.

5. Place four rivets and your “pop” rivet tool beside the stove and line up the right side panel (with control door) with the holes in the side of the stove. (When the side panel is properly installed, the hinge flange will be to the rear of the stove.) Attach the panel to the stove with four “pop” rivets.

6. Secure the left side surround panel to the stove using the procedure described in step #5.

7. Before proceeding further, check pipe connections to ensure that all joints are sealed with high-temperature RTV silicone and properly secured. Refer to detailed venting instructions on pages 16, 19 and 20.

8. The stove may now be pushed into the fireplace cavity to within 1 1/2” of the face of the fireplace.

9. Set the top surround panel in place over the two side panels. Carefully slide the panel downward into the “U” clips attached to the back of the Advantage II-T C INS. Tip: Be careful to align the notched cutouts in the top surround panel with the stove side panels. Adjust side to side if necessary to align with the surround side panels.

10. Unwrap the control board carefully without touching any electrical components. Holding the sides of the control board, lower the bottom edge into the slot in the bottom of the control door opening Install the control board onto the right side panel (with door) using the #8 hex head screw provided.

11. Connect the wiring harness from the Advantage II-T C INS into corresponding connector on control board.

12. Check the Advantage II-T C INS placement in the fireplace. To reposition, open the door and make any needed adjustment by pulling forward and then pushing sideways. Once the unit has been centered to your satisfaction, close the door and push the Advantage II-T C INS back into place so the surround is flush with the face of the hearth. Tip: Before completing this step, verify that the control board will not hit the edge of the fireplace opening.

If using the optional gold surround trim, remove the trim from its packaging and place the piece with the two mitered ends along the top panel. Place the two remaining side pieces on the surround so that the mitered ends align. Cut the non-mitered ends of the shroud trim with scissors, if necessary.

In factory built and masonry fireplaces, a means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner or pipe.

INSTALLATION

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

It is recommended that only an authorized dealer install your pellet stove. The specified installation requirements must be followed to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of the appliance and local building codes.

All clearances, installation instructions and precautions specified by the vent manufacturer must be followed.

Selecting a Location (Freestanding Models) -

Review the appliance clearance requirements before installing the venting system (see page 6). Position the appliance far enough away from walls to allow adequate room for servicing. Choose the appliance location with the least amount of interference with the house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc.

Preferred Vent Configuration

- For the best performance, we recommend a vent run design which runs vertically and terminates above the roofline. This design will allow natural draft to improve the flow of flue gases and will aid in combustion and stove performance.

Type of Pipe

- This stove requires type “PL” vent pipe

(pellet vent pipe, sometimes referred to as “L-Vent pellet vent”), listed to UL 641 or ULC S609. Connect the pellet vent pipe or the “tee” to the flue collar using a minimum of three screws and seal as specified in “Pipe / Liner

Joint Requirements” on this page. Do not use class B gas chimney or single wall chimney as a substitute.

Size of Pipe

- These pellet appliances are approved for use with the following vent sizes: 3” (75mm) standard, or

4” (100mm), see page 15 for determining correct size vent). When 4” pipe is used: for horizontal vent installations use a 3” (75mm) to 4” (100mm) adapter - available from vent manufacturer. For vertical installations use a

3” (75mm) to 4” (100mm) “tee” - available from vent manufacturer.

Note: If installation requires in excess of 11 feet (3 1/3 meter) of pipe, it is recommended that 4” (100 mm) pipe be used.

Offsets

- In every installation, a single or double cleanout “tee” is recommended for every ninety-degree offset

(this tee will help collect ash residue and will allow for routine cleaning without the need to disconnect sections of pipe). Note: Offsets and horizontal runs accumulate fly ash and soot which reduces the exhaust flow and performance of the stove.

Total Offsets in venting system should not exceed 270

° total in direction change.

Horizontal Runs

- The maximum total horizontal run must not exceed 10 feet (3.1 meters).

Horizontal run of pipe requires 1/4” (7 mm) rise per foot.

Pipe Clearances / Requirements

- See pipe manufacturers instructions for installation of venting components and clearances. Follow pipe manufacturers installation precautions for passing pipe through a combustible wall or ceiling (i.e. use an approved thimble). Note: Pellet vent pipe requires 3” (75mm) clearance from outside of pipe unless otherwise specified by vent manufacturer - all diameters: 3” (75mm) and 4” (100mm). A support bracket must be installed every 4’ (1.2m) of pellet vent pipe on the exterior wall of the house unless otherwise specified by vent manufacturer.

Pipe / Liner Joint Requirements

- All pipe joints must be secured with a minimum of 3 screws. ALL horizontal joints must be sealed gas tight (air tight, sealed connection). Use RTV high temperature silicone or Interam to provide a complete seal at the flue collar and on all joints.

Connection to Masonry Chimney through a Wall

(Freestanding Models)

Be sure to verify the construction of a masonry chimney, as it may have combustible framing.

Approved liner when relining Masonry or Factory

Built Fireplaces is 2100HT (degree F.) liner listed to

UL 1777 or ULC S635.

Connection to an Existing Class A Chimney (Freestanding Models)

- A chimney adapter can be used to make the connection from 3” (75mm) or 4” (100mm) pellet vent pipe (listed to UL 641 or ULC S609) to existing

UL chimney system. Verify with the pipe manufacturer that your pipe brands will interconnect.

Horizontal-Vent Installations

- On all horizontal-vent installations (short, horizontal runs with no vertical pipe); care should be taken when choosing a location for terminating the vent. It is not recommended to directly vent the exhaust on the prevailing wind side of the house. It is recommended that when an appliance is vented directly through a wall, a minimum of 8’ (2.5m) of vertical pipe should be installed to create some natural draft. This will reduce the possibility of smoke or odor entering the dwelling during appliance shutdown or loss of power.


INSTALLATION

VENT TERMINATION

Do not terminate vent in an enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as: carports, garage, attic, crawl space, under a deck, porch, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered breezeway etc.

Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched. Adults should supervise children when they are in the area of a hot stove. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.

Termination Cap:

The termination of the outside chimney of the pellet stove shall be located in accordance with the following:

A. Higher than 3’ (.92m) above any forced air inlet (air conditioner, etc.) located within 10’ (3m).

B. Not less than 4’ (1.2m) below, 4’ (1.2m) horizontally from or 1’ (3.1m) above any gravity air inlet (door, window, etc.) which flue gases could re-enter the dwelling.

C. Not less than 2’ (.6m) from combustible materials such as an adjacent buildings, fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang, plants and shrubs, etc. and not less than 7’ (2.1m) above grade when located adjacent to the public sidewalks (access). The final termination of the exhaust system must be configured so that flue gases do not jeopardize the safety of people passing by, overheat combustible portions of nearby structures or enter the dwelling.

D. Not less than 3’ (.92m) below an eave (maximum overhang of 3’ (.92m) or any construction that projects more than 2” (51mm) from the plane of the wall.

E. The distance from the bottom of termination to grade is 12” (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon plants and nature of grade surface: Be careful to choose a location for the vent termination which does not expose people or shrubs to high heat from

F. the exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are not hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located in the vicinity of the termination although they should be a minimum of 3’ (.92m) away. The grade surface under the termination must not be a lawn.

Since sparks may escape from the exhaust pipe of any stove, use caution when positioning the vent pipe. Refer to pipe manufacturer’s instructions when installing and terminating the exhaust. The vent pipe should be horizontal and never run the pipe in a downward direction (recommend a 1/4” (7mm) rise per foot horizontal).

Notes:

•

It is not recommended to terminate exhaust vent on the prevailing wind side of the house.

•

It is not recommended using a termination cap with a screen (fly ash can collect in a screen resulting in blockage).

INSTALLATION

INSTALLING YOUR FREESTANDING PELLET STOVE

Standard Horizontal Vent Installation

All PL Venting Components must be listed to UL 641 or ULC S609

1. Locate the proper position for the listed type “PL” wall thimble. Avoid cutting wall studs when installing your pipe. Use a saber saw or keyhole saw to cut the proper diameter hole through the wall to accommodate the wall thimble. Use extreme caution to avoid cutting into power lines within the wall of the home.

The hole size will depend on the brand of pellet vent that you are using. Install the wall thimble in the hole.

2. ALL INTERLOCKING PIPE CONNECTIONS WITH-IN

THE ROOM MUST BE SEALED WITH HIGH TEM-

PERATURE RTV AND SECURED WITH A MINIMUM

OF 3 FASTENERS PER CONNECTION. Position the stove approximately 12” (305 mm) from the wall on the floor pad. Push the “PL” pipe through the wall thimble. Squeeze a bead of high temperature silicone

(RTV) sealer around the end of the machined portion of the 3” (76mm) pipe connector on the back of the stove. Firmly push on a section of “PL” pipe until inner pipe liner pushes into the bead of RTV sealer.

3. Push the stove with pipe attached towards the wall

(the pipe will go through the wall thimble). Do not position the back of the stove closer than 2” (51mm) from the wall (see clearances, page 6). Note:

Greater back wall clearance will improve the ease of serviceability of the stove.

4. Install listed type “PL” 45 degree elbow with optional rodent screen or cap (recommended) on outside end of pipe. The rodent screen should be no less than

1/2” (13 mm) mesh and may clog with soot and ash if left unattended during the burn season.

NOTE: The end of the exhaust pipe must extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) from the outside of the building.

5. If the installation includes a source of outside combustion air; cut a separate hole through the wall for the fresh air tube. Use a galvanized or stainless steel pipe for the duct. The minimum size for the duct shall be not less than 50% of the cross sectional flue area. Connect outside air pipe to air inlet on stove.

This tube must be terminated with a 45 degree elbow or hood.

NOTES:

Combustion air may also be drawn from a vented crawl space under the home.

All joints for connector pipe are required to be fastened with at least three screws. If vented horizontally, joints shall be made gas-tight (air tight, sealed connection) in a manner as specified on this page (see instruction #2).

Install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.

- These freestanding models may be connected to an existing unused flue or by installing type “PL” vent pipe (listed to UL 641 & ULC S609). If a liner is run all the way to the top of the existing chimney, the existing flue should be sealed with a steel plate. Start a vertical run with a Tee at the back of the stove. Other options are illustrated below.

Note: See page 13 for Vent Termination Requirements.

Exterior Vertical Vent

Preferred Installation – Vertical Vent Through the Roof

This venting configuration allows for the best stove performance. The vertical pipe promotes natural draft and with the chimney inside the dwelling, the flue gases stay warm, thus rising at a consistent rate.

However, if the vent pipe does not extend to the top of the chimney, the vent must extend a minimum of 18” above the damper. You must seal the damper area so that the air / exhaust in the chimney cannot communicate with the air in the fireplace firebox (this is a positive flue connection. See the following instructions for one method of sealing flue).

(USA & Canada) Direct Connection / Positive Flue Connection

In Canada, this appliance requires a full reline when installing into a masonry fireplace.

In the USA, as a minimum the vent connector from the insert flue outlet must extend a minimum of 18” above the damper and the damper area must be sealed to prevent dilution air from entering the chimney which will affect proper drafting of appliance.

See the following instructions for acceptable methods for sealing chimney throat.

Approved Methods of Achieving a Positive

Flue Connection - A qualified installer should evaluate the existing fireplace to determine the best method for achieving a positive flue connection between the vent pipe or liner and the chimney. The most common method for achieving a positive flue connection in masonry fireplaces is to secure a seal-off plate (i.e. 22-gage sheet steel) in the fireplace throat using masonry screws. Other acceptable methods include packing noncombustible material (i.e. rockwool) around the vent pipe or using a flue adapter. Whatever “seal off” method is used must effectively seal the area to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace.

A flexible corrugated chimney liner has much greater resistance to the flow of flue gases than does a rigid liner. For this reason we recommend that a larger, 4” liner be used on vertical runs exceeding 15 feet or that rigid venting be used as illustrated on this page (see

Full Chimney Reline).

If a flexible corrugated chimney liner is used, it must be fully extended to eliminate any sagging and to improve the exhaust flow.

Control Board



Fuel Delivery Rate

The Heat output button manages the fuel delivery rate by controlling the amount of time the auger motor will run (Settings:

1 = Low, 2 Medium Low, 3 Medium, 4 Medium High, 5

High).

PRE-LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

During an initial start-up, or in the case where the hopper has run out of fuel, it will be necessary to prime the auger feed system.

To prime the auger feed tube:

1. Fill the hopper with recommended pellet fuel and plug the stove into the wall outlet.

2. Press the START button on the control board to turn on both blowers (the room air blower and exhaust blower will run at start up settings or position #3).

Press the AUGER ON/OFF button on the control board to start the fuel feed. Next, press the Heat output button to position #5 (maximum feed rate).

3. Look through the combustion chamber door and when you see the first pellets dropping into the UltraGrate

TM

, the auger is then fully primed. It will take

10 to 15 minutes to prime the auger.

4. Once the auger is primed, press the AUGER

ON/OFF button to turn off auger.

STARTING YOUR PELLET STOVE

1. Make sure the auger is primed (see Pre-Lighting

Instructions above), then simply push the Start button on the control board to activate the igniter.

2. Press the AUGER ON/OFF button to the “ON” position.

3. While the pellets will ignite on any heat output setting, it is recommended that the Heat Output be set to position #3. Pellets will start feeding into the UltraGrate

TM

and should begin to ignite in approximately seven minutes. The self-igniter will automatically shut off after fifteen minutes.

4. After the pellets are burning well, press the HEAT

OUTPUT selector to the desired setting. Combustion air and the pellet fuel feed rate will adjust automatically as the HEAT OUTPUT selector button is pressed. The flame should be bright yellow in color and there should be no evidence of soot formation at the top of the flame. Press the BLOWER

SPEED control to increase or decrease the desired amount of room air from your stove.

5. If operating your stove with the wall thermostat, adjust the HEAT OUTPUT selector button to the desired demand mode (#2 through #5 on the HEAT

OUTPUT selector button). Next, adjust the wall mounted thermostat to the desired heat and your stove will automatically switch between a demand mode and a pilot mode.

GENERAL OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS

Proper Burn Characteristics:

Your flame should be bright yellow under normal operation. If your flame becomes reddish/orange, your stove probably needs routine maintenance. Excessive amounts of fly ash build-up in the UltraGrate

TM

, clinkers in the UltraGrate

TM age of air if the UltraGrate

TM

, or leak-

is not properly seated, will starve the fire for air. (See

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

for information on cleaning the stove). If the problem persists, review the trouble-shooting section at the end of this manual.

Pellet Feed:

The pellet feed system is designed to handle a wide range of pellet sizes. Different pellets can feed at considerably different rates. If the stove will not stay lit at the minimum fuel feed setting, those particular pellets may not be feeding fast enough. If this happens, adjust the damper rod (on the side of the stove) in or out to achieve a proper burn.

Pellet Size:

You may notice a difference in the burn if you change pellet fuel sizes. The bigger the pellet, the slower it will feed and vice versa.

Long Burn Time:

The stove may be safely operated on a continuous basis, but it is recommended that it be turned down overnight or when the room is vacated for long periods of time.

TURNING OFF YOUR PELLET STOVE

Press the AUGER ON/OFF button to the “OFF” position.

This will turn the auger motor off and pellets will stop feeding. Both blowers will continue to operate for a period of time (up to 45 minutes) until the exhaust temperature cools sufficiently. The blowers will automatically turn off at that point

are burning sufficiently (red hot coals), press the AUGER ON/OFF button: this will activate the auger motor and pellets will begin to feed into the UltraGrate

TM

. our blower motors will continue to operate.

5. After the pellets are burning well, press the HEAT

OUTPUT selector to the desired setting. Combustion air and the pellet fuel feed rate will adjust automatically as the HEAT OUTPUT selector button is pressed. The flame should be bright yellow in color and there should be no evidence of soot formation at the top of the flame. Press the BLOWER SPEED control knob to increase or decrease the desired amount of convection air from your stove.

If operating your stove with a wall thermostat, adjust the heat output selector button to the desired demand mode

(#2 through #5 on the HEAT OUTPUT selector button).

Next, adjust the wall mounted thermostat to the desired heat and your stove will automatically switch between a demand mode and a pilot mode.

DAMPER OPERATION

The Damper Rod is preset at 2 1/4” which is proper for the average installation. In some cases the damper may need to be adjusted from the standard setting.

Adjustment Procedure

: Loosen setscrew on set collar

However, the damper allows the air-to-fuel ratio to be “fine tuned.” The proper air setting will vary from stove to stove depending on installation configuration, altitude and type of fuels being burned.

There is a “break-in” period for all Advantage II-T C stoves. It is important to understand and make note of the following items when you first light your stove:

•

During the first day or two of operation, it may appear that the flame pattern is somewhat short and vigorous. This is due to the “break-in” period of the auger motor.

•

During this period, the auger motor will gradually speed up its rotation cycle as the gearbox wears in.

This will correspondingly increase the fuel feed rate.

The flame pattern will grow accordingly, and the damper rod may need to be pulled out slightly to compensate.

•

DO NOT ADJUST THE CONTROL BOARD INTER-

NAL SETTINGS AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION!

All adjustments to compensate for burn characteristics should be done with the damper on the left-hand side of the stove by moving it in or out slightly 1/4” at a time.

When your new stove is installed; the exhaust should be hooked up, the stove plugged in and the fire started.

Check for proper operation at all heat output settings (#1

- #5). Look for a brisk yellow flame with no black tips.

Continued on next page…



Continued from last page…

Any adjustments for combustion air should be made at the damper by varying the spacing between the side of the stove and the inside of the damper set collar. The factory setting on the damper, as noted above, should correspond with the model you have.

If the fire goes out on the #1 setting, you will want to decrease the combustion airflow. Loosen the set collar and push the damper in by 1/4” intervals. Tighten the collar at its new position (2 1/2” – 2 3/4”).

If the fuel is building up in the UltraGrate

TM

at the higher heat output settings, you will want to increase the amount of available combustion air. Loosen the set collar on the damper rod and pull the damper out. Do this

1/4” at a time. Tighten the collar at its new position

(1 3/4” – 2”).

After making any adjustment to the damper set collar, pull the damper rod out fully and re-check the dimension between the stove side panel and the inside of the set collar.

NOTE: If the proper flame cannot be achieved with the damper control, adjustment of the trim controls may be necessary. See

Control Board Operation

on

Page 21 for information

.

DAMPER ADJUSTMENT GUIDELINE

Lack of Combustion Air:

By opening the damper, this will increase combustion air delivery. Symptoms of insufficient combustion air include; unburned fuel, lazy smoky or red / orange flame, excessive ash or soot, excessive buildup on glass.

Contributing factors:

•

High Altitude – Lack of oxygen

•

Restrictive Venting (elbows, horizontal runs, cold external chimneys, etc.).

•

Dirty / Poor Quality Fuel.

Note: Excessive amounts of fly ash built-up in the Ultra-

Grate

TM

, clinkers in the UltraGrate

TM

or leakage of air (if

TM

is not properly seated) will starve the the UltraGrate fire for air. See

Routine Maintenance

, on pages 26 through 30 for information on cleaning the stove.

Excessive Combustion Air:

By closing the damper, this will reduce combustion air delivery. Symptoms of excessive air include; fuel burns too quickly (results in smoking or smoldering pellets), white to yellow flame, etc. If the damper is open too much, the burning pellets will lift off the UltraGrate

TM

and fly up into the air much like popping corn does.

Contributing

•

Venting system providing excessive draft.

Correct Combustion Air / Proper Burn Characteristics:

When the damper is correctly set, the burning pellets should move (wiggle) around slightly and the flame should be bright yellow.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES

Power Outage:

During a power outage, the stove will shut down safely. It will not automatically restart when power is resumed unless the exhaust temperature is still hot enough. A small amount of smoke may leak from the top of the window glass, the hopper and from the exhaust air intake, if the stove is vented horizontally with no vertical pipe. This will not persist for more than 3 to 5 minutes and will not be a safety hazard.

It may set off your smoke alarm.

To re-light the stove, follow the normal procedure for starting your stove.

Note: If the area in which you live is prone to frequent power outages, it is recommended that a minimum of 8 feet (2 1/2 meters) of vertical vent pipe be included in a freestanding installation to induce a natural draft in the event of a power failure.

Overheating:

A high temperature switch will automatically shut down the stove if it overheats. The stove will need to be manually re-lit. Allow up to 45 minutes cooling time before relighting. Keep enough convection air (room air blower) going through stove to keep it cooling properly, this will ensure long life of the stove. If the overheating continues, contact your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer for more information.



FUEL

Clinkering

- Silica (or sand) in the fuel, along with other impurities, can cause clinkering. A clinker is a hard mass of silica formed in the burning process. Clinkering is a function of the fuel, (not the stove), but adversely affects the performance of the stove by blocking off the air passages in the UltraGrate

TM

. Even a P.F.I. approved pellet fuel may tend to clinker. A clinker can be removed from the UltraGrate

TM

and placed in the ash pan with the use of the grate scraper / ash pan tool furnished with your stove. See Routine Maintenance (on pages 26 through

30) for more information on cleaning.

UltraGrate

TM

Ash

- The frequency of removal of the ash and maintenance performed on the stove is directly proportional to the ash content of the fuel and the operation duration of your pellet stove. Low ash fuel may allow longer intervals between cleaning, however, a stove burning high ash fuel may need to be cleaned as often as everyday.

PLEASE NOTE: Lennox Hearth Products has no control over the manufacturing of pellet fuel and will not be held responsible for poor stove performance or any damage caused by poor quality pellet fuels.

Fuel Feed Rates -

Different brands of pellets will feed at varying rates due to their size and density (length and diameter). This may require a slight adjustment in the damper control (see pages 23 through 24).

Fuel Specifications -

Using the UltraGrate

TM

burn system, this appliance has been designed to burn wood residue pellets with up to 3% ash content. Agricultural pellets (i.e.… Corn, alfalfa etc.) are not permitted to be burned in the stove. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the performance of the stove.

Caution: The use of unapproved, dirty, wet and / or high salt content fuel will void the warranty!

Wood pellets manufactured to the pellet fuels institute

(P.F.I.) certification standard are available in two grades,

Standard and Premium. The primary difference between the two is the ash content of the pellets.

The P.F.I., specification for standard grade & premium grade residential pellet fuel is as follows:

•

CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m.

•

BULK DENSITY: 40 lb. / Cu. Ft. minimum

•

MOISTURE CONTENT: 8% maximum

•

ASH CONTENT: < 3% maximum (standard grade) < 1% maximum (premium grade)

•

FINES: 0.5% maximum through a 1/8” screen

•

BTU CONTENT: Minimum 8200 BTU per pound.

Pellet Feed / Pellet Size -

The pellet feed system is designed to handle a wide range of pellet from .23” to .35” in diameter and up to 1.5” in length. Different pellets may feed at considerably different rates. You may notice a difference in the burn if you change pellet fuel sizes. The longer the pellet, the slower it will feed and vice versa. If the stove will not stay burning at the minimum fuel feed setting, those particular pellets may not be feeding fast enough. If this happens, reduce the amount of combustion air by adjusting the damper. See page 23 and 24.

Long Burn Time -

When operated correctly, this appliance cannot be overfired. Continuous operation at a maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the electrical components (blowers, motors, and electronic controls), and is not recommended. Typical approved operation would include running at the low to mid range setting with occasional running on the maximum setting during the coldest periods of the winter. The blower speed control should be turned to high when operating the stove on the high heat setting. A lower heat setting is recommended for overnight operation or when the room is vacated for long periods of time.



Inspect your stove or insert at minimum frequency stated until you establish a minimum frequency required for your installation (frequency will vary depending upon fuel BTU value / ash content, usage, and misc. installation variables).

ROUTINE CLEANING

Stove will need to be shut off and cooled enough to handle before routine cleaning is performed. All ash removal and cleaning should be done while stove is cold.

Always disconnect power before doing any routine cleaning.

Proper Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes

ASH PAN (Advantage II-T C FS)

Minimum Frequency of 1 day – 2 weeks



ASH TRAP AND BAFFLES

Access to the ash trap baffles (behind the two side firebricks) is obtained by loosening the screws that hold the

Brick Retention Plates in place and lifting the clips away from the stove. After the clips have been removed, remove the side bricks first, then the center firebrick. Thoroughly clean out the areas where ash has collected behind the firebrick. The amount of time between cleanings will be directly related to the ash content of the pellet fuel being burned. Excessive ash build up in the baffle area behind the brick panels will restrict the exhaust passages and cause less combustion air to enter the firebox, which can lead to poor performance and a "dirty burn".

Handy Hint: After the first 10-20 bags of fuel, you may want to remove the firebrick and determine the rate at which the fly ash is building build up within the Stove.

Contact your dealer for more information.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES

ONLY CLEAN HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES AFTER

STOVE HAS COOLED DOWN.

A rod located above the combustion chamber door is used for cleaning the tubes. Use the ash pan / grate scraper tool to grab this rod and pull out and in several times (see picture below). This will clean the fly ash off the heat exchanger tubes. If your stove was recently turned off, the rod may still be hot.

EXHAUST PASSAGES AND VENT PIPE (All Models)

Inspect frequently and clean when necessary. Fly ash will accumulate at all bends in the exhaust system. Note:

Large amounts of fly ash build-up will create a lack of combustion air. Removing the clean out tee cap on vertical installations will allow an inspection of the ash buildup in the clean out tee and will help you to decide how frequently more extensive cleaning must be performed.

Clean-Out Tee Rain Cap

DOOR ROPE GASKET (All Models)

The condition of the rope gasket around the door and windows should be checked periodically and replaced or repaired if necessary. A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity of the door seal.

Close the door on the paper in at least eight points (see illustration, “Door Rope Gasket”). It is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your stove.

Clean-Out Tee

Remove cover, then remove ash

Minimum Frequency of 1-2 months

Minimum Frequency of 3 months to 1 year

Visually inspect gasket often. If it becomes frayed or damaged it should be replaced.

CREOSOTE REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.

When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.

If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.



WINDOW WASH

Periodically remove four screws which secure the window wash bracket to the door frame, using a 1/4” socket.

Lift out the widow wash bracket, and set aside. Using a small brush, sweep out all debris buildup from behind the window wash bracket. After all debris has been removed re-attach the window wash bracket.

REAR STOVE COMPARTMENT (All Models)

The rear stove compartment should be cleaned periodically (a minimum of once a year). DISCONNECT ELEC-

TRICAL CORD PRIOR TO CLEANING STOVE. Any household dust, pet hair or sawdust should be vacuumed or wiped out of the rear compartment of the stove, room air blower, and combustion blower (paying special attention to vacuuming out the intakes of both blowers). The electrical components should be wiped clean.

Swing Door Open



SMALL AREA PAINT TOUCH-UP

The stove body is painted with a quality hightemperature stove paint. Use only Stove Paint, Part #

70K99. Do not touch-up your stove with any other paint.

Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly sand the blemish so that the edges are “feathered” or smooth to the touch between the painted and bare surfaces. Do not let the sand paper gum up with paint, as this will cause scratches on the metal surface. If there are any scratches, use 600 grit sandpaper instead. Mask off surfaces you do not want painted. Paint lightly over the bare surface first as this will act as an undercoat.

Then paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes to blend.

MOTOR LUBRICATION

Room Air Blower:

The room air blower is permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. Do not apply oil to any part of the blower, doing so may cause damage.

Exhaust Blower:

The exhaust blower requires lubrication every 6 months or yearly, depending on use, with not more than two drops of 30 weight, SAE, nondetergent oil at the two lubrication points on blower.

COMPONENT DEFINITIONS

AIR WASH

To inhibit buildup of soot on the door glass, air is delivered to the glass through an air wash system located in the doorframe surrounding the glass.

AUGER

It transfers the fuel down the burner tube into the firepot.

AUGER MOTOR

Motor specifications are: .4 Amp, 1 rpm (revolutions per minute). It drives the auger to deliver fuel to firepot.

BLOWER, ROOM AIR (CONVECTION)

The blower function is to transfer the heat from the appliance to heat the room air.

BLOWER, EXHAUST (DRAFT INDUCER/COMBUSTION)

It has a radial impeller to deliver more air to the firepot. It pulls air into the firepot by creating a negative pressure.

This is done by extracting the exhaust gases out of the firebox and pushing the exhaust downstream to the flue exit.

DISCS, INLET & CONVECTION HIGH LIMIT

DISC, HIGH LIMIT (L250-30F, N / C)

There are 2 of these discs on this model. If a temperature reaches 250

°

F., the high limit auto reset will “trip” and stop the flow of electricity to the auger motor. The discs will not automatically reset until it has cooled below

220

°

F).

Disc for Room Air Blower

– This disc is located on the Room Air Blower jacket and is designed to detect an overfire condition.

Disc for Combustion Air Inlet

– This disc is located on the combustion air inlet and is designed to detect reversed flow. If negative pressure in the dwelling (i.e. An extremely tight house which may not supply adequate combustion and ventilation air) causes the exhaust to pull back from the combustion air inlet, the heat from the exhaust will result in heat activation of this disc.

DISC, LOW LIMIT (Ceramic, F140-30F, N / O*)

This disc is designed to shut down the stove (auger motor and both blowers) if it does not sense the heat of a fire.

HOPPER

The hopper is where the pellets are stored.

HEAT OUTPUT BUTTON

This is the main power button, which controls power to the feed system auger motor and Exhaust Blower. It has

5 feed rate settings, which controls the burn rate.

PRESSURE SWITCH

The Positive Pressure Switch is located on the Exhaust housing and is designed to shut down the auger motor in the event of flue blockage. Some other possible causes are as follows:

♦

The venting system is obstructed.

♦

High altitude or other misc. environmental conditions affecting exhaust flow.

♦

Improper venting system.
