INTERIOR VERTICAL
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 ue 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 “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.
-5-
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 insure it is not too close to neighbors 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 sundeck 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.
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).

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” (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”
(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.
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.
69FAK OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY (OPTIONAL, UNLESS INSTALLING IN A MOBILE HOME)
Depending on your location and home construction, outside air may be necessary for optimal performance.
1. With the stove in the operating position, mark and drill a hole to accommodate the 2” exible hose.
2. Insert the hose through the wall and attach the Outside Cover with one of the 2” hose clamps provided.
3. Then attach the Outside Cover to the outside wall.
4. Next, attach the Rodent Cover to the Outside Cover using four (4) of the #10 x 3/4 screws supplied.
5. On the inside of the home, slide the Inside Plate over the tube then attach to the wall with the four drywall
anchors and screws provided.
TYPICAL THROUGH THE
WALL INSTALLATION
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” (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” (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.
-7-
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.
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 two, 1/4” 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” (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.
PREPARATION
Factory packaging must be removed, and some minor assembly work is required prior to installation. Access to
the rear of the stove is necessary. The circuit board/control panel must be unpacked and installed in the side
panel of the unit (see installation instructions provided with the circuit board).
COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
If outdoor combustion air is supplied the heater must be attached to the structure. For a mobile home installation
the stove must be connected to an outside source of combustion air. A 2” inside diameter metallic pipe, either
exible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear. A rodent guard (minimum 1/4” wire mesh)/wind
hood must be used at the terminus. All connections must be secured and airtight by either using the appropriately
sized hose clamp and/or UL-181-AP foil tape. For mobile home installations only: 2” inside diameter pipe may
be used for the rst 5 feet of combustion air supply run. From 5 to 10 feet use 2-3/4” inside diameter pipe. No
combustion air supply may exceed 10 feet.
WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED
If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion air is easily available to the air inlet. A closeable outside
air register can be used in tightly insulated homes.

functions are a follows.
A. ON/OFF SWITCH (“POWER” BUTTON)
When pushed, the stove will automatically ignite. No other re starter is necessary. The igniter will stay on
for at least 10 and up to 12 minutes, depending on when Proof of Fire is reached. The re should start in
approximately 5 minutes.
The red light located above the “POWER” button will turn green when pressed and remain green until the
stove is turned off.
After pushing “POWER”, the auger motor is on for 3.5 minutes, off for 1 minute. During the remainder of the
start-up period, the auger motor operates on the heat range “1” setting.
During start up the heat level advance (Up and Down keys) will change the heat range indicator level
accordingly, but there is no change in the stoves operating conditions until start-up is completed.
During start-up ignition must occur within 12 minutes or the stove will error out and show E4.
During the start-up phase, the Mode key does not function.
Control Panel
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.

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. 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:
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.
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. DO NOT open the damper, the damper needs 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.

3. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than 1/4 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”).
4. 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 dampener 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 dampener 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 1/4 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”
REFUELING
The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refueling 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.
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.
WARNING: Never shut down this unit by unplugging it from the power source.
-11-
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.
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.
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 clean outs are located inside the cabinet doors, on the lower
front corners of the heat exchanger. It is imperative that they be cleaned out at a minimum of once per
month. 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 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
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTENANCE THE CLEAN OUTS WILL
RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS STOVE.
-13-
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 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 - 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:
1. Remove the four (4) screws and glass retainers. 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.
-14-
2. 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.

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.

STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE
Possible Causes Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
Air damper open too far for ignition.
Push the air damper in closer to the side of the stove for startup. In some
situations it may be necessary to have the damper completely closed
for ignition to take place. After there is a ame, the damper can then be
adjusted for the desired feed setting.
Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube.
Find the igniter housing on the backside of the rewall. The air intake
hole is a small hole located on bottom side of the housing. Make sure it is
clear. Also, look from the front of the stove to make sure there is not any
debris around the igniter element inside of the igniter housing.
The burnpot is not pushed completely to the rear
of the rebox.
Make sure that the air intake collar on the burnpot is touching the rear
wall of the rebox.
Bad igniter element.
Put power directly to the igniter element. Watch the tip of the igniter
from the front of the stove. After about 2 minutes the tip should glow. If it
does not, the element is bad.
The control board is not sending power to the

Possible Causes Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
There is a leak in the vent pipe system.
Inspect all vent pipe connections. Make sure they are sealed with RTV
silicone that has a temperature rating on 500 degree F or higher. Also,
seal joints with UL-181-AP foil tape. Also, make sure the square to round
adapter piece on the combustion blower has been properly sealed with
the same RTV.
The gasket on the combustion blower has gone
bad.
Inspect both gaskets on the combustion blower to make sure they are
in good shape.
Because it is a wood-burning device, your pellet heater may emit a faint wood-burning odor. If this increases beyond
normal, or if you notice an unusual soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your exhaust system carefully for leaks. All joints
should be properly sealed. Also clean your stove, following instructions in “MAINTENANCE”. If problem persists, contact your
dealer.

inspect it for bent ights, burrs, or broken welds. Remove any foreign
material that might have caused the jam. Also, check the auger tube
for signs of damage such as burrs, rough spots, or grooves cut into the
metal that could have caused a jam.
Loose wire or connector.
Check all wires and connectors that connector to the auger motor, high
limit switch, and the Molex connector.
Bad control board. If the fuse is good, the wires and connectors check out good, and the
high limit switch did not trip, test for power going to the auger motor. If
there is not a full current going to the auger motor when the fuel feed
light is on, you have a bad control board.
• GLASS “SOOT’S” UP AT A VERY FAST RATE
• FLAME IS LAZY, DARK, AND HAS BLACK TIPS
• AFTER STOVE HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, THE BURNPOT OVERFILLS
Possible Causes Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
Stove or vent pipe is dirty, which restricts airow
through the burnpot.
Follow all cleaning procedure in the maintenance section of the owner’s
manual.
Vent pipe installed improperly.
Check to make sure the vent pipe has been installed according to the
criteria in the owner’s manual.

should move with it.
Blockage in air intake pipe.
Visually inspect the air intake pipe that leads into the burnpot for foreign
material.
Combustion blower is not spinning fast enough.
Test the RPM on the blower after the blades have been cleaned. The
RPM should be approximately 3000 RPM.
Bad Pellets. (Applies to GLASS “SOOT’S” UP AT A
VERY FAST RATE Only)
The brand of pellets or the batch of pellets that are being used may
be of poor quality. If possible, try a different brand of pellets. You might
also want to try a brand that is made from a different type of wood
(softwood vs. hardwood). Different woods have different characteristics
when being burned.
