FUEL CONSIDERATIONS

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

(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.

Installation

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.

Installation

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.

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).

VENT TERMINATION

CLEARANCES

Installation

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.

TYPICAL THROUGH THE WALL

INSTALLATION

Installation

Attention: DO NOT vent under any porch, deck, awning, or in any semi enclosed or roofed area. Doing

so may result in unpredictable airow at the vent cap under certain conditions and can affect the

performance of your stove, as well as, other unforeseeable issues.

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.

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.

Level / Temp

Manual

T-Stat

It is a common occurrence in the pellet

industry for the average pellet size to vary.

Due to the varying sizes of pellets, this

appliance utilizes a fuel adjuster to adjust

the amount of fuel allowed to pass into the

auger assembly. The fuel adjuster is located

inside the hopper.

Note: To increase the ow of pellets move

the fuel adjuster up. To decrease the ow of

pellets move the fuel adjuster down.

HOW TO ADJUST THE FUEL ADJUSTER

1. Turn off and unplug the appliance.

2. Loosen the two wing-nuts.

3. Adjust up to increase, or down to

reduce the fuel usage based on the

size of the pellets.

4. Tighten the two wing-nuts.

• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE - 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.

AUTOMATIC IGNITOR

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.

Operation

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 ¼ 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.

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.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTENANCE THE CLEAN OUTS

WILL RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS STOVE.

Clean-Out

Plate

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

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

Maintenance

Daily Weekly Monthly or as needed

Burn Pot Stirred Empty

Combustion Chamber Brushed

Ashes Check Empty

Interior Chambers Vacuumed

Combustion Blower Blades Vacuumed / Brushed

Convection Blower Impeller Vacuumed / Brushed

Vent System Cleaned

Gaskets Inspected

Maintenance

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. In the event you need to replace the glass, Do not attempt to operate the unit with broken

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 our service department. If glass is broken, follow these removal procedures:

1. Remove the four (4) screws and glass retainers.

2. 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. ONLY high temperature

ceramic glass of the correct size and thickness may be used. DO NOT substitute alternative materials for

the glass. Contact your authorized dealer to obtain this glass.

3. 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.

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.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Use the following as a guide under average use conditions.

Gaskets around door and door glass should be inspected and repaired or replaced when necessary.

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, 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)

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.

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.

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.
