NOTE: Masonry fireplace installations require a direct connection or positive (complete reline) connection to the
chimney flue. With a direct connection a block-off plate made of metal or other non-combustible material (i.e.
Kaowool or high temperature fiberglass insulation) must be used at the damper location and sealed airtight.
The singlewall pipe or flexible liner must extend past the block-off plate or insulation by one (1) foot (305 mm)
or to the first flue tile if the chimney has a tile lining.
With a positive connection, the block-off plate at the damper location is optional, but a sealed cover plate is
required at the top of the chimney. A positive connection (complete reline) is recommended for ease of
cleaning. Zero clearance (metal) fireplace installations require a complete re-line to topof chimney.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION —
PELLET INSERT (cont.)
NOTE: The fireplace cavity must be thoroughly cleaned prior to installation. It should be cleaned with a wire brush or
scraper and then painted with a latex paint to eliminate the possibility of odors from the fireplace being circulated into
the house by the room air fan of the pellet insert.
For your safety, examine the fireplace and chimney prior to installation of the pellet insert to determine that they are
free from cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits, blockages, or other signs of deterioration. If evidence of
deterioration is noted, the pellet insert should not be installed until after repairs have been made. Any opening
between the masonry of the fireplace and the facing masonry must be permanently sealed.
Your pellet insert is listed for installation into masonry fireplaces, and is approved to be installed with or without
positive or direct chimney connection.
Your pellet insert is also approved for installation into metal or zero-clearance (Z.C.) fireplaces. Metal or Z.C.
installation requires a full reline with a 3" stainless steel single-wall pipe or a fiexible liner.
Your LOPI 400 Pellet insert appliance comes completely assembled, with the exception of the Switch Box, top panel
and panel trim. Options available for the different types of installations are:
1. Adjustable Front Insert Support.
2. Ceramic Log
The above items come boxed separately and require assembly.
VENT CONFIGURATION:
The 400 Pellet Insert is equipped with a dual vent configuration. It can be vented vertically or horizontally. Before
installing, you must determine which configuration will best suit your installation.
The unit comes set up for a vertical installation (Fig. 12-A). To change it to a horizontal venting configuration, remove
the 1/4" hex head bolt and clamp holding the vertical vent to the base of the unit, next release the spring clip on the
side of the lower vent duct (Fig. 12-b), and remove the vent assembly then release the spring clip holding the round
portion of the vent to the rectangular portion (Fig. 12-C). To complete the change over, clip the round portion into the
lower vent duct bracket (Figs. D &E).
NOTE: Make sure that the gaskets are not damaged and are in the proper position before latching the spring clip.

Make sure the fireplace and chimney are thoroughly cleaned, inspected and repaired where necessary to
make it safe. Paint with a latex paint, as explained on Page 18.
Wire open or remove the firebox damper.
Measure the area of the firebox below the damper opening and above the lintel. Transfer these
measurements to a piece of galvanized sheet metal (min. 24 gauge) and add 2" to each side. Mark the
position of several holes on each side, to suit your specific installation, and drill 1/4” diameter holes. Next
bend the 2" extended side to a 45° angle. The 2" lip with the 1/4" diameter holes will allow you to screw
the plate to the firebox walls.
A hole must be cut in the plate to allow the chimney connector to pass through from the appliance into the
chimney. Mark the hole position on the plate so that the center of the hole is in line with the center line of the
appliance flue. A flexible stainless steel connector works best if an offset is required.
Position the plate in the firebox where the measurements were taken. Secure the plate with screws through
. the holes in the lip, and seal around the outside edges of the plate with fiberglass insulation, furnace cement,
or both.
Insert the chimney connector (flexible or rigid single-wall stainless steel, 3" diameter and at least 24" long) up
through the hole in the plate and damper opening into the chimney. Seal where vent passes through block-
off plate. This should be done on completion of connection.
NOTE: Masonry fireplace installations require a direct connection or positive (complete reline) connection to
the chimney flue. With a direct connection a block-off plate made of metal or other non-combustible material
(.e. Kaowool or high temperature fiberglass insulation) must be used at the damper location and sealed
airtight. The singlewall pipe or flexible liner must extend past the biock-off plate or insulation by one (1) foot
(305 mm) or to the first flue tile if the chimney has a tile lining.
With a positive connection, the block-off plate at the damper location is optional, but a sealed cover plate is
required at the top of the chimney. A positive connection (complete reline) is recommended for ease of :
cleaning. da

NOTE: The 400 PI comes assembled with the two side Bay panels already installed. You will need to
remove them prior to installation.
Lay a protective covering such as a towel or blanket on the floor to protect the floor and the panel finish.
Remove, from the box marked Panels, one top panel. Make sure that the panel is large enough to cover the
fireplace opening. NOTE: Route the power cord out of the fireplace so that it exits through the lower outside
front corner of the fireplace opening. DO NOT ROUTE THE POWER CORD UNDER THE UNIT.
Align the side Bay panels with the sides of the unit. The panels are notched and clip onto the side of the unit.
Unwrap the Switch Box, (shipped inside the firebox of the appliance), and clip it into the panel, the Power
Switch should be at the top and the Blower Control at the bottom. Then connect the multiplug from the switch
box to the corresponding receptical on the control box. This must be done prior to the installation of the top
panel.
Position the top panel over the unit. Align the clips and slide the top panel over the side panel flanges and
the top pf the unit. Press down firmly to make a secure fit.
Place the trim face down on the floor, as it would appear on the unit Place the corner brackets in the
appropriate slots, insert the set screws and tighten firmly.
Slide the completed trim assembly over the top panel. You may wish to use two-sided tape at the ends of the
trim to hold it firmly against the bottom of the side panels.
Push the assembled insert, panels and trim into the fireplace until the spacers make contact with the face of
the fireplace. Be careful not to scratch the hearth. NOTE: Maintain at least a 3/8" air gap around the outside ,
edge of the panels. This allows air to flow around the unit. If this gap is not maintained the unit could e
overheat.
Make sure that the insert is square in the fireplace opening.

OPERATING YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE
STEP 1. RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPES & SIZES:
The unit is designed to operate using 1/4" pellets that comply with A.P.F.I. * standards. If the fuel does not
comply to this standard, the unit may not operate as designed. If the pellets are larger than 1/4" diameter, the
unit may need adjustments. Consult with your dealer. NOTE: Store pellets in a clean, dry place.
* A P.F.l. = Association of Pellet Fuel Industries.
STEP 2. PRIMING THE AUGER:
Priming the auger is only required when the unit is new or when the hopper has compietely run out of pellets.
A. Load the hopper with pellets.
В. Set the burn rate control knob to "HIGH RANGE".
C. Switch the power switch to "ON".
D. Press the start switch and release when indicating light comes on.
This will start the auger and begin the priming process. Once pellets are feeding into the firepot, turn the power
switch "OFF." You are now ready to start a fire.
STEP 3. STARTING YOUR APPLIANCE:
A. Open the door and place a wax-impregnated wood fire starter or add gelled firestarter on a few
pellets in the center of the firepot and light. When the fire starter is buming, close the door.
B. Push the black "AIR CONTROL KNOB" to the closed position. (Located on the lower left side of
the unit). Press the power switch "ON." Adjust the bum rate control to the "EXTENDED BURN"
position and press the start switch. (The amber indicator light will come on.) Pellets will begin to
feed into the firepot.
C. Once the pellets are burning and you have established a fire, set the burn rate at the "HIGH
RANGE" position. Then pull the black "AIR CONTROL KNOB" out to the open position.
D. Before turning the unit to a lower bum setting, it is necessary to run the unit on "HIGH RANGE"
for at least 15-20 minutes after a fire has been established. This allows the unit to reach proper operating
temperature. Failure to do this could result in an inadequate operating temperature and the unit will tum
itself off. If this happens, you will have to repeat the entire start-up procedure.
E. The convection blower will be OFF for approximately 15 minutes after start-up of the appliance.
This is to allow the appliance to reach operating temperature before the convection fan comes on.
The fan will also continue to run after the stove has been shut off until the unit has cooled down.
NOTE: The unit will emit an odor for the first few hours of operation while the paint and oils on the metal
cure.
STEP 4. RUNNING YOUR APPLIANCE:
A. Bum ráte control and air control settings for normal operation when the bum rate setting is set on:
"HIGH RANGE", Air Control knob is pulied completely out for fully "Open" position.
"MEDIUM RANGE", Air Control knob is between fully "Closed" and "Open."
"EXTENDED BURN", Air Control knob is pushed completely in for fully "Closed" position.
NOTE: The Air Control knob settings for your unit could vary due to type and quality of fuel used.
Therefore, it is suggested that you establish the settings that best suit your particular fuel needs.
This is done by adjusting the air control knob "OPEN" or "CLOSED" to allow more or less
combustion air to increase or decrease the rate of burn.
PAGE 26
OPERATING YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE (cont.)
STEP 5. TURNING THE UNIT OFF:
A. Tum the power switch to the "OFF" position. The unit will automatically turn the convection and
combustion fans off when the temperatures have reached the shut down range.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES:
1. POWER OUTAGES
During a power outage the unit will shut itself down safely. It will not restart unless there is a
sufficient firepot temperature to sustain combustion.
2. OVERHEATING
This unit is equipped with an overheat sensor. If the unit becomes overheated, it will shut itself
down safely. The appliance will not restart until it has cooled to a safe level. It may be necessary
to restart the unit if this occurs. [f this happens frequently, turn the unit off and consult with your
dealer to determine the problem.
3. BLOCKED FLUE OR DOWN DRAFT PROTECTION
This unit is equipped with a draft flow switch. If a draft restriction or back draft occurs, the unit
Will automatically shut itself off. if the restriction or back draft is momentary, it will automatically
resume operation. If not, you will need to locate the restriction and correct it before restarting
your unit.
