VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Install vent at clearances specied by the vent manufacturer.
Do not connect the pellet vent to a vent serving any other appliance or stove.
Do not install a ue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.
The following installation guidelines must be followed to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of this
stove and to local building codes. Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the installation.
MAXIMUM VENTING DISTANCE
Installation MUST include at least 3-feet of vertical pipe outside the home. This will create some natural draft to
reduce the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shutdown and keep exhaust from causing a nuisance
or hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. The maximum recommend vertical venting height
is 12-feet for 3-inch type “PL” vent. Total length of horizontal vent must not exceed 4-feet. This could cause back
pressure. Use no more than 180 degrees of elbows (two 90-degree elbows, or two 45-degree and one 90-degree
elbow, etc.) to maintain adequate draft.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. Inadequate draft may cause backpufng into
the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney
connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Take into account the chimney’s location to ensure it is not too close to neighbours or in a valley which may
cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.
PELLET VENT TYPE
A UL listed 3-inch or 4-inch type “PL” pellet vent exhaust system must be used for installation and attached to the
pipe connector provided on the back of the stove (use a 3-inch to 4-inch adapter for 4-inch pipe). Connection
at back of stove must be sealed using Hi-Temp RTV. Use 4-inch vent if the vent height is over 12-feet or if the
installation is over 2,500 feet above sea level. We recommend the use of Simpson Dura-Vent® or Metal-Fab®
pipe (if you use other pipe, consult your local building codes and/or building inspectors). Do not use Type-B
Gas Vent pipe or galvanized pipe with this unit. The pellet vent pipe is designed to disassemble for cleaning and
should be checked several times during the burning season. Pellet vent pipe is not furnished with the unit and
must be purchased separately.
PELLET VENT INSTALLATION
The installation must include a clean-out tee to enable collection of y ash and to permit periodic cleaning of the
exhaust system. 90-degree elbows accumulate y ash and soot thereby reducing exhaust ow and performance
of the stove. Each elbow or tee reduces draft potential by 30% to 50%.
All joints in the vent system must be fastened by at least 3 screws, and all joints must be sealed with Hi-Temp
RTV silicone sealant to be airtight. The area where the vent pipe penetrates to the exterior of the home must
be sealed with silicone or other means to maintain the vapor barrier between the exterior and the interior of the
home. Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Noncombustible shielding or
guards may be required.
PELLET VENT TERMINATION
Do not terminate the vent in an enclosed or semi-enclosed area, such as; carport, garage, attic, crawl space,
under a sun deck or porch, narrow walkway, or any other location that can build up a concentration of fumes.
Termination in one of these areas can also lead to unpredictable pressure situations with the appliance, and
could result in improper performance and/or malfunction. The termination must exhaust above the outside air
inlet elevation. The termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other materials. Do
not terminate the venting into an existing steel or masonry chimney.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with a negative draft system that pulls air through the burn pot and pushes
the exhaust out of the dwelling. If this unit is connected to a ue system other than the way explained in this
manual, it will not function properly.

THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATION (RECOMMENDED
INSTALLATION)
Canadian installations must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe
adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust
adapter is at least 18 in.(457mm) above ground level, a
straight section of pellet vent pipe can be used through
the wall.
Your heater dealer should be able to provide you with
a kit that will handle most of this installation, which will
include a wall thimble that will allow the proper clearance
through a combustible wall. Once outside the structure,
a 3 in.(76mm) clearance should be maintained from the
outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed on
the pipe with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At
this point, a 3ft (0.91m) (minimum) section of pipe should
be added with a horizontal cap, which would complete
the installation.
A support bracket should be placed just below the
termination cap or one every 4ft (1.22m) to make the
system more stable. If you live in an area that has heavy
snowfall, it is recommended that the installation be taller
than 3ft (0.91m) to get above the snowdrift line. This
same installation can be used if your heater is below
ground level by simply adding the clean-out section and
vertical pipe inside until ground level is reached. With this
installation you have to be aware of the snowdrift line,
dead grass, and leaves. We recommend a 3ft (0.91m) minimum vertical rise on the inside or outside of the house.
The “through the wall” installation is the least expensive and simplest installation. Never terminate the end vent
under a deck, in an alcove, under a window, or between two windows. We recommend Simpson Dura-Vent®
or Metal-Fab® kits.
THROUGH THE ROOF/CEILING INSTALLATION
When venting the heater through the ceiling, the pipe is connected the same as through the wall, except the
clean-out tee is always on the inside of the house, and a 3 in.(76mm) adapter is added before the clean-out tee.
You must use the proper ceiling support anges and roof ashing (supplied by the pipe manufacturer; follow the
pipe manufacturer’s directions). It is important to note that if your vertical run of pipe is more than 12ft (3.7m), the
pellet vent pipe size should be increased to 4 in. (102mm) in diameter.
Do not exceed more than 4ft (1.22m) of pipe on a horizontal run and use as few elbows as possible. If an offset
is required, it is better to install 45-degree elbows rather than 90-degree elbows.

SPECIAL MOBILE HOME REQUIREMENTS
WARNING! - Do not install in a sleeping room
CAUTION! - The structural integrity of the mobile
home oor, wall, and ceiling/roof must be
maintained.
NOTE: Installation should be in accordance with the
Manufactured Home and Safety Standard (HUD), CFR
3280, Part 24.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, mobile home installations must meet
the following requirements:
This stove must be securely fastened to the oor
of the mobile home through the two holes in the
rear of the stove using 2, ¼” lag bolts that are long
enough to go through both a hearth pad, if used,
and the oor of the home.
The heater must be electrically grounded to the
steel chassis of the mobile home with 8 GA copper
wire using a serrated or star washer to penetrate
paint or protective coating to ensure grounding.
Vent must be 3 or 4-inch “PL” Vent and must extend a minimum or 36 in.(914mm) above the roof line of the
mobile home and must be installed using a UL listed ceiling re stop and rain cap.
When moving your mobile home, all exterior venting must be removed while the mobile home is being
relocated. After relocation, all venting must be reinstalled and securely fastened.
Outside Air is mandatory for mobile home installation. See Outside Air Supply section and your dealer for
purchasing.
Check with your local building ofcials as other codes may apply.
NOTE: Dimensions from the oor
to your stoves inlet/exhaust pipes
are approximate and may vary
depending on your installation.
TYPICAL FRESH AIR
TERMINATION
EXHAUST/INLET
LOCATIONS
OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY (OPTIONAL, UNLESS INSTALLING IN A MOBILE HOME)
Adequate ventilation air is required to operate this heater. During operation, the heater draws air for combustion
which can be assisted by the installation of outside combustion air inlets. However, certain weather conditions
such as icing or use of kitchen exhaust fans may impact and reduce the effectiveness of vents. It is important to
note that room air starvation will negatively impact the operation of the heater.
Depending on your location and home construction, outside air may be necessary for optimal performance.
Metal pipe (solid or exible) must be used for the outside air installation. PVC pipe is NOT approved and should
NEVER be used. A wind shield over the termination of the outside air pipe or a 90-degree elbow or bend away
from the prevailing winds MUST be used when an outside air pipe is installed through the side of a building. The
outside air termination MUST be at least 1ft (0.305m) away from the exhaust system termination.
The outside air pipe on your heater is 2” (50.8mm) OD. The outside air connecting pipe must be at least 2”
(50.8mm) ID. The outside air connection used MUST NOT restrict the amount of air available to your heater. The
outside air connecting pipe must be as short and free of bends as possible, and it must t over, not inside, the
outside air connection to the heater.

PANEL CONTROLS
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel on the top of this unit. The control panel
functions are a follows.
A. ON/OFF SWITCH (“POWER” BUTTON)
When pushed, the stove will automatically ignite. No other re starter is necessary. The igniter will stay on
for at least 10 and up to 12 minutes, depending on when Proof of Fire is reached. The re should start in
approximately 5 minutes.
The red light located above the “POWER” button will turn green when pressed and remain green until
the stove is turned off.
After pushing “POWER”, the auger motor is on for 3.5 minutes, off for 1 minute. During the remainder of
the start-up period, the auger motor operates on the heat range “1” setting.
During start up the heat level advance (Up and Down keys) will change the heat range indicator level
accordingly, but there is no change in the stoves operating conditions until start-up is completed.
During start-up ignition must occur within 12 minutes or the stove will error out and show E4.
During the start-up phase, the Mode key does not function.
B. LEVEL / TEMP ARROW BUTTONS
These buttons when pushed will set the pellet feed rate, hence the heat output or heat range of your
stove.
The levels of heat output will incrementally change on the bar graph starting from heat range “1” to
heat range “5”.
C. °C / °F Button
The °C / °F button changes the two digit display from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.
D. MODE (M/T) BUTTON
The Mode of the stove can be switched between manual and controlled with a Thermostat. Separate
LEDs to the left of the two digit display indicate the mode of operation – Manual or T-Stat. The stove has
to be in normal operation to be switched from Manual to T-Stat mode.
Manual mode operates according to the 5 set levels of feed on the bar graph from heat range “1” to
heat range “5”.
T-Stat mode works as follows:
The stove has a built in Thermostat into the controls of the appliance. The temperature sensor for the
T-Stat is located on the back of the stove behind the display board.
Once the stove has gone into run mode the stove can be switch into T-Stat mode.
The Up and Down Level / Temp Arrow buttons are used to change the desired set-point temperature.
Once the desired temperature is reached the two digit display will ash for four seconds and reset to
the actual room temperature.
Once the stove reaches within 3°F of the desired temperature set point, it returns to the heat range that
the stove was set on before it was switched to T-Stat mode (if the stove was running on heat range “5”
when switched to T-stat mode when it gets within 3°F of the set point it will return to heat range “5”).
Once the stove reaches the desired set-point, the stove will drop to heat range “1”.
When room temperature drops below desired set-point the stove will ramp back up until it reaches the
desired temperature.

away from the stove while it is in use.
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade pellets. This appliance can also burn pellets rated as
standard after May 16, 2015.
DO NOT BURN:
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard. The prohibition against burning
these materials does not prohibit the use of re
starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,
wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a re in an affected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
PROPER FUEL
This stove is approved for burning pelletized wood fuel only ! Factory-approved pellets are those 1/4” or 5/16”
in diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger ights, which prevents
proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building codes for
which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of the
pellet fuel into the re at a carefully prescribed rate. Any additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase
heat output but may seriously impair the stoves performance by generating considerable smoke. Do not burn
wet pellets. The stove’s performance depends heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet brands that
display these characteristics:
1. Excess Fines “Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or sand.
Pellets can be screened before being placed in hopper to remove most nes.
2. Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold the together, or “bind” them.
3. High ash content Poor quality pellets will often create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a need for
more frequent maintenance. You will have to empty the burn pot plus vacuum the entire system more often.
Poor quality pellets could damage the auger. We cannot accept responsibility for damage due to poor
quality pellet.
PRE-START-UP CHECK
Remove burn pot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the rebox, and then
reinstall burn pot. Clean door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufcient). Never use abrasive
cleaners on the glass or door. Check fuel in the hopper, and rell if necessary.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the burn pot supplied with this heater.
Hopper lid must be closed in order for the unit to feed pellets.
During the start-up period:
1. Make sure burn pot is free of pellets.
2. DO NOT open the viewing door.
3. Damper may need to be closed during start up.
4. DO NOT add pellets to the burn pot by hand.
NOTE: During the rst few res, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes
seasoned to the metal. Maintaining smaller res will minimize this. Avoid placing items on stove top during this
period because paint could be affected. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design
specications can result in permanent damage to the heater.
Operation
-12-
Operation
AUTOMATIC IGNITER
Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
1. Press “On/Off” button. Make sure green light comes on.
2. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than ¼ of the way during start-up. This will vary
depending on your installation and elevation. Once re is established adjust for desired ame increasing the
amount the damper is open as the heat setting is increased. (See “DAMPER CONTROL”)
3. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Heat Level Advance” button.
If re doesn’t start in 12 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start procedure
again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control lever is located on the back of the stove on the lower left side. The damper adjusts the
combustion air. This control is necessary due to the varied burn characteristics of individual installations, different
pellet brands and pellet feed rates. It allows you to improve the efciency of your stove. Providing correct
combustion air will reduce the frequency of cleaning your glass door and prevent the rapid buildup of creosote
inside your stove and chimney. You should adjust the damper based on the re’s appearance. A low, reddish,
dirty re can be improved by turning the damper slightly to the right. A “blow torch” re can be improved by
turning the dampener to the left a little bit. As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should
be farther to the left closing it off. On higher feed rates, the damper should be open more by having it set more
towards the right. Through trial and error, you will nd the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
NOTE: On heat range “1”, damper should be either completely closed or open no more than a ¼ of the way. If
damper is open to far, it can cause the re to go out.
OPENING DOOR
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut
down. If the stove shuts down push the “On/Off” button to re-start your stove. The stove will have to fully shut
down and turn off before you will be able to restart the stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come on until the stove’s heat exchanger warms up. This
usually takes about 10 minutes from start-up.
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The re goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools. This will take 30 minutes or longer
depending on the heat remaining in the appliance. After the stove components stop running all lights on the
display will go out and the two digit display will begin ashing “E3”
REFUELLING
The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refuelling your stove.
Never place your hand near the auger while the stove is in operation. We recommend that you not let the
hopper drop below 1/4 full.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
-13-
Failure to clean and maintain this unit as indicated can result in poor performance, safety hazards, re, and
even death.
Unplug your stove’s electrical cord prior to removing the back panel or opening the exhaust system for any
inspection, cleaning, or maintenance work.
Never perform any inspections, cleaning, or maintenance on a hot stove.
Do not operate stove with broken glass, leakage of ue gas may result.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
Creosote Formation When any 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 ue or a
newly started re or from a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When
ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot re, which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house.
Despite their high efciency, pellet stoves can accumulate creosote under certain conditions.
Fly Ash – This accumulates in the horizontal portion of an exhaust run. Though non-combustible, it may impede
the normal exhaust ow. It should therefore be periodically removed.
Inspection and Removal The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected by a qualied person
annually or per ton of pellets to determine if a creosote or y ash build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated,
it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re. Inspect the system at the stove connection and at the
chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney
from the top as well as from the bottom. The creosote should be removed with a brush specically designed for
the type of chimney in use. A qualied chimney sweep can perform this service. It is also recommended that
before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and, if necessary, repaired.
To clean the chimney, disconnect the vent from the stove.
Operation / Maintenance
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Turning your stove off is a matter of pressing the “POWER” button on the display board. The green light will turn
back to red when the “POWER” button is pushed. The auger motor will stop, and the blowers will continue to
operate until the internal rebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
1. Your stove is equipped with a high temperature thermodisc. This unit has a manual reset thermodisc. This
safety switch has two functions.
A. To recognize an overheat situation in the stove and shut down the fuel feed or auger system.
B. In case of a malfunctioning convection blower, the high-temperature thermodisc will automatically shut
down the auger, preventing the stove from overheating.
NOTE: On some units, once tripped, like a circuit breaker, the reset button will have to be pushed before restarting
your stove. On other units the thermodisc has no reset button and will reset itself once the stove has cooled. The
manufacturer recommends that you call your dealer if this occurs as this may indicate a more serious problem.
A service call may be required.
2. If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch will automatically shut down the auger.
NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than 30 seconds during operation will cause enough pressure change to
activate the air switch, shutting the fuel feed off. The stove will shut down and show “E2” on the two digit display.
The stove has to fully shut down before restarting.
WARNING: Never shut down this unit by unplugging it from the power source.

Maintenance
INTERIOR CHAMBERS
Burn Pot: Periodically remove and clean the burn pot and the area inside the burn pot housing. In particular,
it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burn pot to remove any build up that may prevent air from
moving through the burn pot freely.
Heat Exchanger: There is a clean out plate on both sides of the heat exchanger that need to be removed
to clean y ash out of the heat exchanger. The cleanouts are located inside the cabinet doors, on the lower
front corners of the heat exchanger. To access these clean outs, you must remove both side panels. The
clean outs are secured to the rebox with (2) 5/16” screws. Remove the clean outs and vacuum out any
accumulated ash. This should be done at least once per month or more frequently if large amounts of ash
are noticed while cleaning or if the stove does not seem to be burning properly.
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ash removal. Some regular
vacuum cleaner (i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTENANCE THE CLEAN
OUTS WILL RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS STOVE.
-15-
Maintenance
ASH DISPOSAL
Remove ashes when unit has cooled. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight tting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending nal 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 embers have been thoroughly cooled. The
container shall not be used for other trash or waste disposal. If combined with combustible substances, ashes and
embers may ignite.
ASH REMOVAL
Remove the ashes periodically to avoid unnecessary ash build up. Ash removal is as follows:
1. Let re burn out and allow unit cool to room temperature.
2. Clean the heat exchanger tubes (see Heat Exchanger Cleaning section) – Make sure Pellet Stove is at room
temperature before touching .
3. Open the ash pan door, remove the burn pot and empty into metal container.
4. Vacuum to remove ashes from the rebox.
5. BE SURE THAT ASHES ARE COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE VACUUMING. Some vacuum cleaners may leak ash
into the room. Your vacuum cleaner should have a special lter or bag to eliminate leakage.
6. Remove ash pan and dispose of ashes into metal container.
7. Reinstall ash pan.
8. Reinstall burn pot.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in
heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or conned
areas can be dangerous. Make sure you stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing
properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO monitors in areas
having the potential to generate CO.
CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER
Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust (nes) that is building up in the feed system
or pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface. Clean as needed.
DOOR AND GLASS GASKETS
Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets periodically. The main door may need to be removed to have
frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets replaced by your authorized dealer. This unit’s door uses a 5/8” diameter
rope gasket.
BLOWER MOTORS
Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust and distribution blowers annually. Remove the exhaust
blower from the exhaust duct and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up. If you have indoor
pets your power motors should be inspected monthly to make sure they are free of animal hair build up. Animal
hair build up in blowers can result in poor performance or unforeseen safety hazards.
PAINTED SURFACES
Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear, or you wish to renew your paint,
contact your authorized dealer to obtain a can of suitable high-temperature paint.
GLASS - CLEANING, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN DOOR GLASS
Cleaning - We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner. Should a buildup of creosote or carbon accumulate,
you may wish to use 000 steel wool and water to clean the glass.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.
DO NOT perform the cleaning while the glass is HOT.
DO NOT abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma.
DO NOT operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or broken.
ONLY high temperature ceramic glass of the correct size and thickness may be used. DO NOT substitute alternative
materials for the glass. Replacement glass must be 0.197” thick tempered ceramic glass with a working service
temperature of 1400° F. Replacement glass may be purchased from your U.S. Stove Pellet Burning Room Heater
Dealer. In the event you need to replace the glass follow these removal procedure:
-16-
1. Once the heater has cooled, remove the door from the heater.
2. Remove the rope gasket from the door along with the four (4) screws holding the glass retainer in place and
the glass retainer.
3. While wearing leather gloves (or any other gloves suitable for handling broken glass), carefully remove any
loose pieces of glass from the door frame. Dispose of all broken glass properly.
4. Replace the glass and gasket, making sure the gasket runs the full perimeter of the glass edge.
5. Re-install the new glass by re-attaching the retainers and screws, be careful not to over tighten the screws
for this could damage the glass.
FALL START UP
Prior to starting the rst re of the heating season, check the outside area around the exhaust and air intake
systems for obstructions. Clean and remove any y ash from the exhaust venting system. Clean any screens on
the exhaust system and on the outside air intake pipe. Turn all of the controls on and make sure that they are
working properly. This is also a good time to give the entire stove a good cleaning throughout.
SPRING SHUTDOWN
After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining pellets from the hopper and the auger feed system.
Scoop out the pellets and then run the auger until the hopper is empty and pellets stop owing (this can be done
by pressing the “ON” button with the viewing door open). Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burn
pot, and rebox. It may be desirable to spray the inside of the cleaned hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if
your stove is in a high humidity area. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned.

When your stove acts out of the ordinary, the rst reaction is to call for help. This guide may save time and money
by enabling you to solve simple problems yourself. Problems encountered are often the result of only ve factors:
1) poor fuel; 2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You
can usually solve those problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems relating to 3, 4 and 5. Refer
to diagrams on page 25 to help locate indicated parts. For the sake of troubleshooting and using this guide to
assist you, look at your heat level setting to see which light is ashing.
Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to ”OFF”
does not disconnect all power to the electrical components of the stove.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions for doing so are given in this manual.
All other work should be done by a trained technician.
ATTENTION: This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal
regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
Trouble Shooting Guide
Display is Flashing “E1”
Possible Causes Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
1. The convection blower is overheating and
tripping the internal temperature shutoff.
Clean any dust off of the windings and fan blade. If oiling the
blower does not help, the blower may be bad.
2. The stove is being left on the highest setting for
extended periods of time.
If operating the heater on the highest heat setting, the room
temperature could increase enough and lead to potential
overheating situations. If this happens try operating at a lower
heat setting.
3. Fuel other than wood pellets is being burned in
the stove.
This pellet stove is designed and tested to use wood pellets.
Check for signs of fuel other than wood pellets. No other types of
fuel have been approved for this pellet stove. If there are signs of
other types of fuel being used, stop using them immediately.
4. Power surge or brown out situation.
A power surge, spike, or voltage drop could cause the high limit
switch to trip. Check to see if a surge protector is being used on
the stove. If not, recommend one to the customer.
5. High Limit Switch is malfunctioning. If the other items check out OK, replace the high limit switch.

Trouble Shooting Guide
Display is Flashing “E2”
Possible Causes Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
1. Airow switch hose or stove attachment pipes for
hose are blocked.
Unhook air hose from the air switch and blow through it. If air
ows freely, the hose and tube are ne. If air will not ow throw
the hose, use a wire coat hanger to clear the blockage.
2. The air inlet, burnpot, interior combustion air
chambers, combustion blower, or exhaust pipe
are blocked with ash or foreign material.
Follow all cleaning procedures in the maintenance section of the
owner’s manual.
3. The rebox is not properly sealed.
Make sure the door is closed and that the gasket is in good
shape.
4. Vent pipe is incorrectly installed.
Check to make sure vent pipe installation meets criteria in
owner’s manual.
5. The airow switch wire connections are bad.
Check the connectors that attach the gray wires to the air
switch.
6. Combustion blower failure.
With the stove on, check to see if the combustion blower is
running. If it is not, you will need to check for power going to the
combustion blower. It should be a full current. If there is power,
the blower is bad. If there is not, see #8.
7. Control board not sending power to combustion
blower.
If there is no current going to the combustion blower, check all
wire connections. If all wires are properly connected, you have a
bad control board.
8. Control board not sending power to air switch.
There should be a 5-volt current (approximately) going to the air
switch after the stove has been on for 30 seconds.
9. Air switch has failed.
To test the air switch, you will need to disconnect the air hose
from the body of the stove. With the other end still attached
to the air switch, very gently suck on the loose end of the hose
(you may want to remove the hose entirely off the stove and
the air switch rst and make sure it is clear). If you hear a click,
the air switch is working. BE CAREFUL TOO MUCH VACUUM CAN
DAMAGE THE AIR SWITCH.

Possible Causes Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
1. The hopper is out of pellets Rell the hopper.
2. The air dampener is too far open for a low feed
setting
If on the low setting, you may need to close the dampener all the
way.
3. The burnpot holes are blocked. Remove the burnpot and thoroughly clean it.
4. The air inlet, the interior chambers, or exhaust
system has a partial blockage.
Follow all cleaning procedures in the maintenance section of the
owner's manual
5. The hopper safety switch has failed or hopper
is open.
When operating the unit, be sure the hopper lid is closed so that
the hopper safety switch will activate. Check the wires leading
from the hopper safety switch to the control panel and auger
motor for secure connections. Use a continuity tester to test the
hopper safety switch; replace if necessary.
6. The auger shaft is jammed.
"Start by emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor by
removing the auger pin, then remove the two bolts that hold the
auger bracket to the auger tube. The auger bracket will now be
able to be removed form the auger tube. Remove the two bolts
on the side of the auger tube to remove the lower bearing of the
auger. Pull the auger out of the tube to free the jam.
7. The auger motor has failed.
Remove the auger motor from the auger shaft and try to run the

motor will not turn, the motor is bad.
8. The Proof of Fire (POF) thermodisc has
malfunctioned.
Temporarily bypass the POF thermodisc by disconnecting the two
wires and connecting them with a short piece of wire. Then plug
the stove back up. If the stove comes on and works, you need to
replace the POF thermodisc. This is for testing only. DO NOT LEAVE
THE THERMODISC BYPASSED. Your blowers will never shut off and
if the re went out the auger will continue to feed pellets until the
hopper is empty if you leave the POF thermodisc bypassed.
9. The control board is not sending power to
the POF thermodisc or other auger system
components.
There should be a 5-volt (approximately) current going to the POF
