NEVER REDUCE THE
MINIMUM CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS
SHOWN
IN FIG. 3.1 AND FIG. 3.2.
•Prior to placing the Clarry® Pellet Stove in your structure, you must
burn the stove in for 20 minutes, to set the stove paint.
•Assemble the stove in an outdoor location according to
the directions above; bring it to operating temperature,
or to the point where the paint stops smoking.
•Make sure that any time you light the stove outdoors the chimney is not
positioned directly under a low hanging tree branch or near a structure.
•Once the stove has been burned in and cooled down, it is ready to install.
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The Clarry® Pellet Stove is approved for an interior vertical through
the roof installation; horizontal through the wall to exterior vertical
installation and retrofit to existing masonry chimney installation.
NOTE: When using horizontal through the wall installation, floor
protection material must extend under the chimney connector
(the 28 gauge stove pipe) from the back or side of stove to the
wall. Floor protection width must be a minimum 2”wider on each
side of chimney connector, for a total minimum width of 8”.
PRE-INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION
Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then
verify the dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.
When determining the location of the stove, locate the ceiling trusses
(for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the stove position slightly to
ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member, but never reduce the
minimum clearance dimensions shown on the next page in FIG. 3.1 and FIG. 3.2.
STOVE PLACEMENT
Place the stove on non-combustible floor protection using wall clearance
dimensions for a straight (Fig. 3.1) or corner installation (Fig. 3.2)
Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing
within (doors, drapes, etc.), 36”of any surface of the stove. Heater
and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.
9.
WARNING
2.) INSTALLATION: “Burning In” the Stove
FIGURE 3.1
FIGURE 3.2

The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width and depth of the heater
and extending 18” in front beyond the pellet hopper and 8” outside of the legs, minimum 30˝ wide by 56˝ deep.
Minimum 1” thick with (k=0.84) (R=1.19) (BTU)(in)/(ft2)(hr)(of ).
How to determine if alternate oor protection materials are acceptable.
All floor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.). Any organic materials
(i.e., plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The floor protection specified
includes some form of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
10.
2.) INSTALLATION: Floor Protection Requirements
PROCEDURE
1. Convert specification to R-value:
i. R-value given - no conversion needed.
ii. k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
iii. K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in feet:
iv. r-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R = r x T
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
i. Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”.
ii. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.
EXAMPLE: The specified floor protector should be 3/4-inch thick material with a k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4”
brick with an r-factor of 0.2 over 1/8”mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value.
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of r = 0.2, therefore:
1/8” mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore:
RTOTAL = RBRICK + RMINERAL BOARD = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231
Step (c): Compare proposed system RTOTAL of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed system RTOTAL is greater than
required, the system is acceptable.

WARNING
2.) INSTALLATION: Venting Requirements

DO NOT CONNECT THIS
UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT
OR SYSTEM.
FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated
chimney is used, the manufacturer’s
installation instructions must be
followed. You must also purchase
(from the same manufacturer)
and install the ceiling support
package or wall pass-through and
“T” section package, fire stops
(where needed), insulation shield,
roof flashing, etc. Maintain proper
clearance to the structure as
recommended by the manufacturer.
The chimney must be the required
height above the roof or other
obstructions for safety and proper
draft operation. See page 14 for
chimney termination requirements.
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to
the chimney. For use with the Clarry® Pellet Stove, the chimney connector
MUST be 4” in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 28 gauge black steel.
Aluminum and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the
Clarry® Pellet Stove. These materials cannot withstand the extreme
temperatures of a wood pellet fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated.
DO NOT USE THE CONNECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY.
Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must be installed to the stove
flue collar and to each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove.
See FIG 4.
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from run-
ning down the outside of the pipe or the stove top. All joints, in-
cluding the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet
metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct
as possible, with no more than two 90° elbows. The maximum horizontal run
is 36” and a recommended total length of stove pipe should not exceed 10
feet. Always slope horizontal runs upward ¼”per foot toward the chimney.
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space,
closet or other concealed space, or through a floor ceiling. All sections of
the chimney connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage
through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the instal-
lation must conform to NFPA 211, and is also addressed in this manual.

MASONRY CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it
inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have
the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a
masonry chimney, special methods are needed. Refer to Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs on page 14.
See note page 9 for floor
protection extention under
chimney connector.

DO NOT TERMINATE THE CLARRY
PELLET STOVEVENT PIPE HORIZONTALLY.
CHIMNEY TERMINATION
• Must have a directional wind cap
(to prevent water from entering).
• Minimum 3’ clearance from any forced
air intake of any other appliance.
• Minimum 1’ clearance horizontally from
combustible wall.
• Must be a minimum of 3´ above the
roof, or 2´ above the roof ridgeline with
10´ of roof penetration.
• Minimum 5’ clearance from any
door opening.
COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS
METHOD A.
12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a
minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum
wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner
must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire
Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick
masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner
shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface
of the chimney flue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly
grout or cement the clay liner in place to the chimney flue liner.
METHOD B.
9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a 4”
(152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built solid-pak chimney
section with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-
through with a minimum 9”(228.6 mm) air space between the
outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet
metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to
maintain the 9” (228.6 mm) air space. When fastening supports to
chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall
of the solid-pak chimney). The inner end of the solid-pak chimney
section shall be flush with the inside of the masonry chimney
flue, and sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use
this cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.
METHOD C.
2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Start with
a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least 12” (304
mm) long, with insulation of 1”(25.4 mm) or more, and an inside
diameter of 6”(2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 4” [152.4 mm]
chimney connector). Use this as a pass-through for a minimum
24-gage single wall steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak
section concentric with and spaced 1” (25.4 mm) off the chimney
connector by way of sheet metal support plates at both ends
of chimney section. Cover opening with and support chimney
section on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal supports.
See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on
all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney flue liner.
NOTES:
1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall
extend in one continuous section through the wall pass-through
system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner flue liner face.
2. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof
space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO FIGURE 2.)
1. Fill the hopper (C) with one 40-lb. bag of “PREMIUM or Super Premium” pellets.
This unit is designed for wood pellets that comply with the standards set by
the Association of the Pellet Fuel Industry (density of at least 40 lbs. per cubic
foot, 1/4”to 5/16” diameter, length no greater than 1 ½”, 8200 BTU’s/lb., moisture
under 8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt under 300 parts per
million). If the fuel does not comply with this standard, the unit may not operate
as designed. Our stoves operate best using pellets with <6% moisture content.
2. Open the shut off gate (C.1), allowing the pellets to drop into position in the
firebox. Note: Tighten the setscrew (C.2) in the shut off gate to avoid misplacing
the shut off gate (C.1).
3. Next, open the ash drawer (A.2). A few pellets will have fallen through the
fire grate. That’s OK. Squeeze a liberal amount of liquid gel fire starter, or stack
several wax/sawdust fire sticks into the drawer, aiming at the center of the
drawer. Light it with a match, then push the drawer in until you reach the
first notch (A.2-2), the fire starting position and push the door (A.3) into the
notch. This is also the final burning position and will allow some air control
for the fire. Make sure damper door (A.3.1) completely covers the opening in
grate access door. (.3)
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WILL LEAD TO “OVER FIRING”THE
STOVE. IF THE SIDES OF THE FIRE CHAMBER GLOW CHERRY RED, THE STOVE IS BEING
“OVER FIRED”!“OVER FIRE”CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STOVE, AND MAY RESULT IN
CAUSING A FIRE AT THE SURROUNDING SURFACES.
4. Air Control – The stove will reach maximum heating capacity with the Damper
Door (A.3.1) closing off the control air opening. Once the stove has reached
full heating capacity, begin to slide the Damper Door (A.3.1) up exposing the
opening in the Grate Access Door (A.3). Adjust to personal comfort. Exposing
the entire 1”x 5” opening allows the stove to operate at a much
lower temperature.
5. As fuel is consumed, pellets will continue to slide down into the firebox and
your fire will continue to burn. One 40-lb. bag will burn for approximately
eight (8) hours.

WARNING
3.) OPERATION: Operating Instructions

DANGER: FIRE HAZARD AND CARBON
MONOXIDE HAZARD
HEAT OUTPUT
Temperatures exceeding 900 degrees in the fire chamber and 500 degrees at the
heat exchanger are reached in 15 minutes. Do not touch the stove, or place any
combustible materials within 36 inches.
DANGER – Fire Hazard/Carbon Monoxide Hazard
1. This stove may start other fires. Never operate this stove in places without a
fresh air source or in places that contain or may contain volatile and inflammable
liquids or vapors. Never operate this stove where airborne combustibles or
products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinners, or unknown chemicals may
be found.
2. This stove consumes air (oxygen) and produces carbon monoxide. Using this
product in unventilated or enclosed areas, without a source of fresh air make up,
may cause injury or death.
3. Carbon Monoxide poisoning may be accompanied by symptoms such as
watery eyes, fatigue and dizziness. If you experience these symptoms while
using this product, get fresh air immediately.
4. Ensure the stove fire is out and cool before emptying the contents. Pellet embers
and ash can smolder and remain very hot for a long period time without smoke.
5. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible surface or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally disposed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been
thoroughly cooled.
SHUTTING DOWN THE STOVE
1. Close the manual shut off gate (C.1) to keep any more pellets from sliding into
the firebox. Re-tighten the set screw (C.2). The fire should go completely out in
about 20 minutes.
2. Ensure the stove fire is out and cool before emptying the contents.
Using the Door Latch Tool provided, remove the ash drawer to empty the ashes.
3. It is important to leave the Ash Drawer (A.2) open in the operating position
notch (A.2-1) to allow air to continue to enter the firebox until the fire has
completely burned all of the pellets. Closing the ash drawer prior to completely
burning all of the pellets may cause the fire to smolder and put smoke into your
shelter due to lack sufficient air to completely burn all of the remaining pellets.
SEE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS THAT FOLLOW, FOR PROPER
DISPOSAL OF ASHES.
19.
WARNING
3.) OPERATION: Operating Instructions

CLEANING THE STOVE WHEN YOU’RE USING IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
1. After every use, remove the ash from the ash drawer.
Note: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final 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 cinders has been thoroughly cooled.
2. Remove the grate daily and clean it with a wire brush.
3. Soot and Fly-ash: Formation and Need for Removal. The products of
combustion will contain small particles of fly-ash. The fly-ash will collect in
the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation
of the stove will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust
venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least twice
every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.
4. Creosote: Formation and Need for Removal. When 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
flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue
lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
5. The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every
two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has
occurred. If it has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire.
