Use PFI listed fuel for best results.

FUEL CONSIDERATIONS

Your pellet stove is designed to burn premium hardwood pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI)

(minimum of 40 lbs density per cubic ft, 1/4” to 5/16” diameter, length no greater than 1.5”, not less than 8,200

BTU/lb, moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million). Pellets that

are soft, contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust, have been, or are wet, will result in reduced performance.

Store your pellets in a dry place. DO NOT store the fuel within the installation clearances of the unit or within the

space required for refuelling and ash removal. Doing so could result in a house re.

Do not over re or use volatile fuels or combustibles, doing so may cause a personal and property damage

hazards.

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.

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.

• Do not use chemicals or uids to start the re - never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,

charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this stove. Keep all such liquids well

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.

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.

-18-

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

unit. If the motor will turn the shaft is jammed on something. If 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

thermodisc after the stove has been on for 10 minutes.
