5. Vertical Pine Adapter:
The vertical pipe acacter is an opticnal tem used to center the pellet vent on the pellet stove. It allows for a more
compact installation then using offssts on the pellet vent. To install the vertical pipe adapter, follow the directions
below.
1. Take the vertical cice acacizr, along with the 5 SCrEWS, OUt of the box and inspect for any damage.
2. When determining the final zcsition of the stove, take into consideration the location of the vertical pipe
acanter once it is installed. ‘* is best to install the vertical Pipe acanter before determining the location of
the stove, making :he final gienment with the pellet vent more accurate.
3. The vertical zive acazter gizws for the use of 3" sellet vent or a” Sinclawall or doudleweall Siovepice. Use

the the vertical pipe adapter where it connects to the exhaust pipe there are three holes. One is on the
outward side, one is on the 20, and one ig located on the bottom. Make a mark on the exhaust tube
where these holes line up. Make sure the pice adapter is ail the way against the exhaust pipe and
progeny alicned when making these marks. Take the vertical оюе acanter off and dri a 9/64” hole where
the three marks where Diacz2 on the exhaust pipe.

Ta- theficor shield out of ifie COX and make sure the insulation is still placedonthe floor shield. The box contains
the i.00r shield, the bottom canel extension, 8 self-tapping screws. and 2 tront leveling bolts.
Prop up the sront of the inser approximately one foot so that it rests cn its rear ecge. Remove the front leveling
bolts alreacy atachedto the insert and discard. Remove the rear leveling molts (if ataca ed). Attach the floor shield
to the better of the insert ty screwing in the eight screws with a ohiific-head screwdriver. Attach the two front
leveling bolts nciuded with ine floor shield to the floor shield. Then ra.zttach the two rear leveling boits through
the floor shield and into the insert.
Return the siove 10 the upright position.
The insert can then be placed in the zero clearance cavity and leveled. To level, first measure the step-down
before placingthe insert into the cavity. Adjustthe front and rearleveling colts to accomodate any ditterence. Final
leveling can de done by lifting the insert and tuming the leveling bots to accomodate the level installation. The

u
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
S ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE YOUR
R. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
MAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
Before you start your first fire make sure you have read and understand the section titled Safety
Precautions — any questions should be referred to your dealer. There are two things you will
need to know before you start your first fire:
o . The first time you start your heater, or if you completely run out of
IS pellets, the auger will need to be primed by turning the heater on and
© turning the BURN RATE to "HIGH" for fifteen minutes. This will allow
the pellets to feed up the auger and start to fall into the firepot before you
start the heatcr.
‚ “ The first time your heater gets up lo temperature ot will smell the paint
a on the outside of the heater curing. This is normal. We recommend that
you first fire you heater outside or leave ail of the windows open fora
couple hours during the first fire.
A WORD ABOUT PELLETS
Y our heater was designed 10 bum wood pellets only. There are some facts you should know
~~ before you buy pellets. The paragraphs below detail the information you should know.
With the surge in popularity of pellet heaters came the tremendous increase in pellet demand.
Because pellets are made from wood bi-products, pellet manufacturing is dependent upon the
supply of these bi-products and the quality found therein. Unfortunately, this surge in pellet
‚ manufacturing has led toa decline in the quality of the raw materials used to produce the pellets.
Ideally, pellets should have a very low moisture, ash, dirt, and sait content. Some pellets do not.
Pellets should have a consistent diameter of 1/4", 5/16", or 7 mm. Pellets should aiso be no
longer than 1 1/2" long. Some pellets are longer. There is no real pellet monitoring agency, SO
you must monitor pellet quality yourself.
. We Suggest: - |
Buy only 3 bags of pellets before you purchase a large
amount. Burn the pellets in your pellet heater and check
for these signs of poor quality pellets: clinkers develop in
/ the air holes on the bottom of the firepot (see the section
"Maintenance Instructions"); the auger jams for no
apparent reason, and when the hopper is cleaned out, the
auger runs again; there is more than one-half cup of
sawdust in the bottom of the bag of pellets; or, the peilets
don't burn well on a low BURN RATE, and it seems the
AIR CONTROL has to be pulled out all the way for the
pellets to bum (a sign of wet or dirty pellets). It is best to
check one brand of pellets verses another to see the
difference first-hand. The Association of Pellet Fuel
Manufacturers has set the following standards for pellets:
density of at least 40 Ibs. per cubic foot; 1/4" to 5/16"
diameter; length no greater than 1 1/2"; 8200 BTU's/lb.;
moisture under 8% by weight; ash under 1% by weight;
and, salt under 300 parts per million.

turn off until the POWER switch is turned off and the heater has cooled

This control starts the heater. It will need to be pressed each time the
heater is re-started.
This dial controls the amount of pellets that are fed into the firepot and
hence the amount of heat. This dial must be used in conjunction with the
AIR CONTROL to operate the heater correctly.
Adjust the BURN RATE and AIR CONTROL together. The hi gher the
BURN RATE the farther out the AIR CONTROL should be.
This dial controls the amount of heated air that is blown out of the heat
exchange tubes above the door. Generally, the higher the BURN RATE the
higher the FAN dial should be set.
This controls the amount of air entering the firepot (see the Hint above).

the firepot and the more heat you will receive. The exact amount of heat will vary according to
the type of pellets you are using.
<n NOTE: Pellets vary in the amount of heat they give off and the speed in
бе which they feed. Drier, cleaner pellets give off more heat. Smaller
length pellets feed faster than long pellets.
After the BURN RATE is set. the AIR CONTROL will need to be checked.
Step 2: Adjust the AIR CONTROL ,
The AIR CONTROL adjusts the amount of air entering the firepot. It is extremely important to
adjust it correctly. It must be adjusted every time the BURN RATE is changed or when using
different pellets.” With the BURN RATE set 10 a particular setting, look into the firepot and check

The firebox will need occasional cleaning to remove flyash that may build up around the firepot
and hamper efficient burning. If there is an optional log set, remove the log set and brush it clean
of flyash. Then brush all flyash off of the firebrick refractory and off the walls of the firebox.
When done brushing off the flyash, clean out the flyash built up in the ashpan. The glass should

HINT: We STRONGLY SUGGEST you buy a vacuum built specificaily
for cleaning pellet heaters. These vacuums are fire-resistant and
make cleaning much easier. Because your heater 1s more efficient
when kept clean, this vacuum will pay for itself in fuel costs.

TECHNICIAN, possibly by a service agreement set up by the dealer.
Clean the Exhaust Ducts
The exhaust ducts are located inside the firebox and are used to transfer heat. Every 6,000
pounds of fuel the flyash and soot from behind the exhaust ducts will need to be removed
(perhaps more often depending on pellet quality). Remove the ash trap doors by following the
directions in the section "Clean the Ash Traps". Remove the firebrick refractory by lifting it up
and away from its holder on the back of the firebox. This will expose the two clean-outs on the
back wail of the firebox. Remove these clean-outs, as well as the clean-outs on each side, by
prying loose with a screwdriver. Tap against the exhaust ducts to remove the loose flyash first.
Then brush away any soot or flyash that has built up behind the exhaust ducts. Use a piece of
wire to reach the areas inside the exhaust ducts that are hard to reach. The soot and flyash will
fall down to the ashtrap area. Vacuum out all of the flyash and soot. Replace the clean-outs,
firebrick refractory, and firepot holder when finished cleaning. о

The exhaust blower pulls the combustion air through the heater and pushes the flue gases out the
pellet vent. It collects flvash and must be cleaned every 3 tons of fuel burned. Follow the
directions in "ACCESSING INTERNAL COMPONENTS" for accessing the right side. For
stoves, remove the pellet vent connection at the back of the stove (make sure to re-seal with RTV
300° F. silicone).
Make sure the heater is unplugged, then disconnect the two power leads going to the exhaust
blower. Use a 3/8" nut driver to remove the four mounting nuts that hold the exhaust blower in
place. Three of the nuts are located on top of the exhaust blower while one is on the lower left
and can only be accessed through a hole in the sheet metal. Remove the insulation surrounding
the exhaust biower. Tilt the exhaust blower outwards and slide towards the side to remove.
With the exhaust blower removed. check the gasketing that insulates the connection between the
exhaust blower and the exhaust housing. Replace the gasket if it has deteriorated. Follow the
directions in reverse order to re-attach the exhaust blower. Make sure to re-seal the pellet vent
connections with RTV 500° F. silicone. |

Poor Quality Pellets (also see the section "A Word about Pellets”) *
Check for poor quality pellets by burning different brands (usually 3 bags will give vou a good
indication). High quality pellets will not only bum better, but produce more heat. The extra cost
for high quality pellets is worth it.
Bags of pellets should never be left uncovered outside. The plastic bag around the pellets should
not be considered air or water ught. Pellets are usually thoroughly dried before bagging. So if
the bag is exposed to damp conditions, the pellets will actually absorb water from the air.
Safety Features a
Your heater has built in safety systems which may shut the heater off even though the heater has
pellets and the POWER button is "ON". ue - |
Power Outages, During a power outage the heater will shut down unless the power
outage 1s just momentary, in which case it will remain on if there is sufficient heat
to keep buming. —: |
Overheating. If your heater overheats the auger will shut off and no longer feed pellets.
This will allow the heater to cool down safely. The heater will not restart until it
has cooled sufficiently. If this happens frequently, turn the unit off and consult
with your dealer to determine the problem.
Blocked Flue or Down Draft. This heater is equipped with a draft sensor. If a
restriction or back draft occurs, the heater will automatically shut itself off. If the
restriction or back draft is momentary, it will automatically resume operation. If
the restriction is permanent, the heater will not start until the restriction is fixed.

How this Pellet Heater Works
This pellet heater is a combination of four systems working together to bum pellets and transfer
the heat to your room. Your heater wil] only burn when there is an acceptable amount of air,
peilets, and heat present in the firepot. Air is supplied through the Inlet/Exhaust System. Pellets
are supplied through the Peilet Feed System. Heat comes from combustion and 1s transferred to
the room through the Convection Heat System. The last system is the Safety System.
If any one of these systems does not work right, your heater will not operate correctly. When
troubleshooting any problems with your stove, it is easiest to determine which System is working
incorrectly and then go through each component of that System until the problem is found. The

HINT: This system is the hardest to troubleshoot and crucial to the heater's
operation. It must be air tight through the entire chain of |
components. The most common problem is an air leak into the
firebox. This will rob air from the firepot, making combustion
incomplete (leading to more 5005, тоге smoke, less heat, and over- |
feeding).
