VENTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT
SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR STOVE.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE 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.
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 FLUE SYSTEM
OTHER THAN THE WAY EXPLAINED IN THIS MANUAL,
IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
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 “PLvent. 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
INSTALLATION
8
© 2022 United States Stove Company
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 backpu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 certied 3-inch or 4-inch type “PLpellet 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). The connection
at the back of the stove must be sealed using Hi-Temp
RTV. Use a 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 pipes, 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. The 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.
VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES
A. Minimum 4-foot (1.22m) clearance below or beside
any door or window that opens.
B. Minimum 1-foot (0.3m) clearance above any door or
window that opens.
C. Minimum 3-foot (0.91m) clearance from any adjacent
building.
D. Minimum 7-foot (2.13m) clearance from any grade
when adjacent to public walkways.
E. Minimum 2-foot (0.61m) clearance above any grass,
plants, or other combustible materials.
F. Minimum 3-foot (0.91m) clearance from an forced air
intake of any appliance.
G. Minimum 2-foot (0.61m) clearance below eves or
overhang.
INSTALLATION

H. Minimum 1-foot (0.3m) clearance horizontally from
combustible wall.
I. Must be a minimum of 3 foot (0.91m) above the roof
and 2 foot (0.61m) above the highest point or the roof
within 10 feet (3.05m).
Determining where to install your new pellet stove heater.
To get the most ecient use of re-circulated heat, you
should consider a room that is centrally located within
your home. Choose a room that is large and open. It is
Extremely Important to maintain proper clearances from
any combustible surfaces or materials in the room where
your heater will be located. You can nd proper clearance
measurements in this manual and on the rating label of
your pellet stove. The pellet stove can be vented through an
exterior wall or into an existing masonry or metal chimney
if “PL vent pipe is used throughout existing chimney.
Venting can pass through the ceiling and roof if approved
pipe is used. Where passage through a wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation must
conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
WARNING:
DO NOT OBTAIN COMBUSTION AIR FROM THE
ATTIC, GARAGE OR ANY OTHER UNVENTILATED
AREA. YOU MAY OBTAIN COMBUSTION AIR FROM
A VENTILATED CRAWL SPACE.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER HEATER, FURNACE OR
APPLIANCE.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
ONLY USE APPROVED MATERIAL FOR
INSTALLATION, FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN
DEATH.
This appliance is certied for use with listed 3 inch or 4 inch
“PL” pellet venting products. The use of other components
other than stated herein could cause bodily harm, heater
damage, and void your warranty.
HORIZONTAL EXHAUST VENT
INSTALLATION
1. Locate your pellet stove in a location which meets the
requirements of this manual, but in an area where it
does not interfere with the house framing, wiring, etc.
2. Install a non-combustible hearth pad underneath the
pellet stove. This pad should extend at least 6” (152
mm) in front of the unit.
3. Place the pellet stove approximately 15” (381 mm)
away from the interior wall.
4. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe of your unit. This
point should then be extended to the interior wall of
your house. Once you have located the center point,
on the interior wall, cut a 7” (175 mm) diameter hole
through the wall.
5. The next step is to install the wall thimble, refer to the
instructions which come with the wall thimble for this
step.
6. Install the appropriate length of exhaust vent pipe
into the wall thimble. See steps 11 and 12 when
determining the correct length of exhaust vent to use.
7. Outside Fresh Air is Mandatory when installing
this pellet stove room heater in airtight homes and
mobile homes. Be sure that the outside air vent
has an approved cap on it to prevent rodents from
entering. Be sure to install in location that won’t
become blocked with snow, etc.
8. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust outlet of
your pellet stove.
9. Secure all vent joint connections with 3 screws.
Seal the exhaust vent joint connections with high
temperature silicone sealant.
10. Push the unit straight back to the interior wall,
being sure to maintain the minimum clearances to
combustibles 2” (51 mm) to the back of the unit. Seal
the annular space of the wall thimble and around the
vent pipe with high temperature silicone sealant.
11. The exhaust vent pipe must extend at least 12” (300
mm) out past the exterior wall. Seal the annular space
of the wall thimble and around the vent pipe with high
temperature silicone sealant.
12. Install an approved horizontal termination cap or if
necessary install a 90° elbow and appropriate length
of vertical venting. An approved vertical vent cap is
recommended.

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” (457 mm) 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” (76 mm) 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” (76 mm) 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” (102 mm) 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.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
PANEL / REMOTE CONTROLS
The operation of this appliance can be controlled from the
panel located on the top of the stove and/or by the remote
control. The control functions are as follows:
On/Off Switch
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.
After pushing the “On/Off” button, 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 E3.
During the start-up phase, the Mode key does not
function.
Heat Range Arrow Buttons
These buttons when pushed will set the pellet feed
rate, hence the heat output or heat range of your stove.
When using the hand-held remote this function can be
performed with the “Up/Down” buttons.
The levels of heat output will incrementally change on
the bar graph starting from heat range “1” to heat range
“5”.
°C / °F Button
The °C / °F button changes the two digit display from
degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.
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.
NOTE:

This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade
pellets. 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;

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
ATTENTION:
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF
PELLETIZED FUEL THAT MEET OR EXCEED THE
STANDARD SET BY THE PELLET FUEL INSTITUTE
(PFI).
Your pellet stove is designed to burn premium hardwood
pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI)
standard (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.
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 stoves performance depends heavily on the
quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet brands that display
these characteristics:
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.
Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to
hold the together, or “bind” them.
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.
CAUTION:
KEEP FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE HOPPER.
THE MOVING PARTS OF THIS STOVE ARE
PROPELLED BY HIGH TORQUE ELECTRIC
MOTORS. KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM
THE AUGER WHILE THE STOVE IS PLUGGED INTO
AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET. THESE MOVING PARTS
MAY BEGIN TO MOVE AT ANY TIME WHILE THE
STOVE IS PLUGGED IN.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 su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:
Make sure the burn pot is free of pellets.
DO NOT open the viewing door.
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 the stovetop during this period
because the paint could be affected. Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design specications
can result in permanent damage to the heater.
OPTIMAL OPERATION
This pellet stove has been certied by the US EPA to
meet strict 2020 guidelines. To Insure this unit produces
the optimal minimal emissions, it is critical to follow
the following guidelines. To achieve a “high burn” your
stove should be set on setting 5 with the damper open.
To achieve a “medium burnyour stove should be set on
setting 3 with the damper 50% open. To achieve a “low
burnyour stove should be set on setting 1with the damper
closed. 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.
IGNITOR
1. Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
2. Press the “On/Off” button. Make sure the green light
comes on.
3. Adjust the feed rate to the desired setting by pressing
the “Heat Level Advance” button.
If the re doesn’t start in 12 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait
a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start the procedure
again.
OPENING DOOR
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH THE VIEWING
DOOR OPEN. THE AUGER WILL NOT FEED PELLETS
UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES AND A SAFETY
CONCERN MAY ARISE FROM SPARKS OR FUMES

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.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
WARNING:
NEVER SHUT DOWN THIS UNIT BY UNPLUGGING IT
FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
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.
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 are two clean out plates that
need to be removed in order to clean the y ash out
of the heat exchanger. Open the door to access the
cleanouts located inside the rebox, one on each side
of the burnpot. The clean outs are secured to the rebox
with (2) 5/16” screws each. 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.
Over time ash or dust may accumulate on the blades of the
circulation & exhaust fans. The fans should be inspected,
periodically, and if any accumulation is present vacuumed
clean as the ash or dust can impede the fans performance.
It is also possible that creosote may accumulate in the
exhaust fan therefore, this must be brushed clean. The
exhaust fan can be found behind the left side panel (facing
the front of the heater), the circulation fan can be found
behind the right side panel. To access the igniter, remove
the air inlet tube and cover (2 screws). The auger motor is
located in the center rear of the unit. Note: When cleaning,
take care not to damage the fan blades.
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest
using the AV15E AshVac vacuum. The AV15E AshVac is
designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner
(i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS
INDICATED CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE,
SAFETY HAZARDS, FIRE, AND EVEN DEATH.
NEVER PERFORM ANY INSPECTIONS, CLEANING,
OR MAINTENANCE ON A HOT STOVE.
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.
DO NOT OPERATE STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS,
LEAKAGE OF FLUE GAS MAY RESULT.
ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES
THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEATER.
CREOSOTE FORMATION, INSPECTION, &
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED
MONTHLY DURING THE BURNING SEASON FOR ANY
BUILD-UP OF SOOT OR CREOSOTE.
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
eciency, pellet stoves can accumulate creosote under
certain conditions. 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.
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.
ASH REMOVAL & DISPOSAL
CAUTION:
ALLOW THE STOVE TO COOL BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING. ASHES MUST BE
DISPOSED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT
FITTING LID. THE CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHES
SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NON-COMBUSTIBLE
SURFACE OR ON THE GROUND, WELL AWAY FROM
ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL
DISPOSAL.
Remove the ashes periodically to avoid unnecessary ash
build up. 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.
SMOKE & 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 & 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.

MAINTENANCE
DOOR & 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 3/4”
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
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 attempt to operate the unit
with broken glass. Replacement glass may be purchased
from your U.S. Stove dealer. If the glass is broken, follow
these removal procedures:
1. Once the heater has cooled, remove the door from the
heater.
2. Remove the rope gasket from the door followed by the
nuts holding the glass retainer in place.
3. While wearing gloves, carefully remove any loose
pieces of glass from the door frame.
4. Replace the glass and gasket, making sure the gasket
runs the full perimeter of the glass edge.
5. Re-install the retainer and eight nuts and rope gasket
using high-temperature silicone to adhere the gasket
to the door.
6. Never use substitute materials for the glass.
DO NOT abuse the door glass by striking, slamming, or
similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass
removed, cracked, or broken.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
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. Customer service can solve problems relating to 3, 4 and 5. Refer to diagrams in the
“Repair Parts” section to help locate indicated parts. For the sake of troubleshooting and using this guide to assist you,
you should 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.
Display is Flashing “E1”
Possible Causes Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
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.
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.
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.
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.
High Limit Switch is malfunctioning. If the other items check out OK, replace the high limit switch.
ATTENTION: THIS WOOD HEATER NEEDS PERIODIC INSPECTION AND REPAIR FOR PROPER OPERATION. IT

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Display is Flashing “E2”
Possible Causes Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
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.
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.
The rebox is not properly sealed. Make sure the door is closed and that the gasket is in good shape.
Vent pipe is incorrectly installed. Check to make sure vent pipe installation meets criteria in owner’s
manual.
The airow switch wire connections are bad. Check the connectors that attach the gray wires to the air switch.
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, make sure the control board is
sending power to the air switch.
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.
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.
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.

The hopper is out of pellets Rell the hopper.
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.
The burnpot holes are blocked. Remove the burnpot and thoroughly clean it.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
