Floor Protection
It is necessary to install Ember Protection: a type 1 floor protector for this stove.
The floor protector must be non-combustible material, extending beneath the stove with a minimum of 6
inches (152mm) in front of the glass, and 6 inches (152mm) to both sides of the stove.
The stove must be installed on a noncombustible floor, with proper floor protection, or on a masonry hearth.
When a clean out T-vent is installed on the inside of a home, the floor protector must extend 2 inches beyond
the rear of the T-vent.
When stove is vented straight through the wall and the clean out T-vent is on the exterior of the home, the
minimum clearance is 2 inches from the back of the stove to the wall.
Non-combustible floor protection extending beneath the flue pipe is required with horizontal venting or
under the top vent adapter with vertical installation.
Non-combustible floor protection must extend 2 inches (51mm) beneath the flue pipe when installed

Vent Termination Clearances
Must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering) or a 45 degree downturn with rodent screen.
If the termination is located on a windy side of the house, we suggest using an approved house shield to
prevent soot from building up on the side of the house.
A vent must not be located where it may become plugged by snow or other material.
The stove vent must terminate on the outside of the building. Horizontal terminations must extend a minimum
of 12" from the wall. Vertical terminations must protrude a minimum of 24" from the roof surface.
In addition, all clearances listed below must be met.
A: Minimum 48" clearance below or beside any door or window that opens. (This clearance may be reduced to
18" if using outside air). We recommend the door or window be kept closed during operation. Minimum 12"
clearance below or beside any window that does not open.
B: Minimum 12" clearance above any door or window that opens.
C: Minimum 24" clearance from any adjacent building.
D: Minimum 7' clearance above any grade, when adjacent to public walkways.
E: Minimum 24" clearance above any grass, plants, or other combustible materials.
F: Minimum 36" clearance from any forced air intake of another appliance.
G: Minimum 24" clearance below eaves or overhangs.
H: Minimum 12" clearance horizontally from combustible wall.
X: Must be a minimum of 24" above the roof.
NOTICE:
In any location that will allow flue gasses or soot to enter or stain the building.
In any location which could create a nuisance or hazard.
In any enclosed or semi enclosed area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck
or porch, or narrow walkway.
Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell,
covered breezeway, etc...
Do NOT terminate vent:
It is recommended that at least 3 ft of vertical pipe be installed when the stove is vented directly
through a wall - this will create a natural draft, which will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor
venting into the home during a power outage.
Do NOT terminate vent below air inlet.
Installation

The pellet venting pipe (also known as L vent) is constructed of two layers with
air space between the layers. This air space acts as an insulator and reduces
the outside surface temperature of pipe to allow a clearance to combustibles.
A cap must be used at the termination of type L vent chimneys.
For elevations above 5,000 feet above sea level, 4" venting is recommended.
Some venting manufacturers offer pellet stove adapters for their venting for
easier installation.
Seal all pipe joints using high-temp silicone (500°+)
Install pellet venting through wall and connect vent/pipe to stove
Mark and cut wall for venting penetration on exterior wall (if needed).
Install wall thimble (sold separately) per manufacturer specifications.
Install venting.
Use a sealant (such as silicone) to create an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney or
other component penetrates the exterior of the structure.

3.
4.
Take appropriate precautions to locate utilities within the wall and avoid contact.
Pro Tip: Installing a clean-out “T” (sold separately), when venting vertically, can save time during
cleaning, and is recommended to aid in the periodic cleaning and maintenance.
Secure exhaust venting system to the Stove per the pipe manufacturer’s instructions.
Install termination cap.
Confirm all required Stove clearances to combustibles.
The vent must have a support bracket every 5' of pellet vent when on the exterior of the structure.

Venting
CAUTION!
Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Do NOT install a flue damper in the exhaust venting
system of this stove.
Do NOT Connect this stove to a chimney flue serving
another appliance.
The structural integrity of the manufactured home
floor, wall, and ceiling/roof must be maintained.
Adding bends in the exhaust path restricts air flow,
reduces performance, and provides a collection point for
ash deposits requiring more frequent cleaning.
CAUTION!
Required: Only use 3" or 4" type "L" or "PL" pellet pipe.
Secure 3" appliance adapter to the exhaust port using a
high temperature sealant (such as RTV silicone)
Improper drafting.
Smoke may seep into the house.
Excessive sooting.
Ensure that your stove venting terminates above the stove or the follow may occur:
Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety.
They should be located away from the stove, and close to the sleeping areas.
You should have separate CO monitors for areas near the stove
CAUTION!
Installation

Connection from the intake pipe (2" diameter pipe in rear of stove) to the outside of the house is
REQUIRED for mobile home installation. It is recommended in tightly sealed homes with exhaust fans
such as kitchen or bathroom fans, or in basement installations. This will eliminate poor performance due to
negative pressure.
Only noncombustible pipe 2" (or greater) in diameter is approved for outside air connections (Straight or
flexible). PVC pipe is NOT approved and should NEVER be connected to the stove.
If the air inlet is connected to the outside, it MUST be terminated with a vertical 90° bend down, or with a
wind hood. Failure to do so could result in a burn-back if high winds blow directly into the air inlet during a
power outage.
Blockages, excessive length (more than 8 ft.), or excessive bends in the air intake pipe could lead to
starvation of combustible air to the stove.
Outside Air Intake (available separately)
The stove must be permanently attached to the floor.
Stove must have an outside air source.
Stove must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home, unless grounded or GFCI
power outlets are provided.
All vertical chimney vents must have wall supports.
All exhaust systems must have a spark arrestor.
Check with local building officials to see if other codes may apply.
Structural integrity of the floor, wall and ceiling/roof must be maintained.
Mobile Home Installation
Installation in a mobile home should be in accordance with the manufactured home and safety standard
(HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24. This stove must be vented to the outside. In addition to the standard installation
instructions, the following requirements are mandatory for installation in a mobile home:
Do not install flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.
Use an approved wall thimble when passing the vent through walls. Use a ceiling support/fire stop spacer
when passing the vent through ceilings. (Make sure to maintain minimum clearances to combustibles).
If using more than one T-vent or exceeding 180° of elbows, the use of 4" venting pipe is recommended.
The vent must have a support bracket every 5' of pellet vent when on the exterior of the structure.
Horizontal sections of vent pipe should have a 1/4 inch rise per foot. We recommend using the shortest
venting and fewest elbows possible when venting horizontal.
Horizontal vent runs can accumulate ash and will need to be cleaned more often. Try to keep them as
short as possible.
Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your
area.
Contact your local authority (such as municipal building department, fire department, fire prevention
bureau, etc.) to determine the need for a permit.

Installation
Venting (Continued)
Pro Tip: Use the bottom adjustable leveling feet for vertical movement of the stove up to 3/4". This will
allow for micro adjustments when precise venting alignment is needed.
Notice: The operation of exhaust fans, such as bathroom and attic fans, could create a negative pressure
in the room, causing the stove to be starved of combustible air. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation in
the room the pellet stove is located. If not, the vacuum pressure switch may shut off the operation of the
pellet stove.

Operation
Fuel Guide
Wood pellets are generally produced out of wood waste such as sawdust and shavings. The raw material
is dried, mechanically fractioned to size and extruded into pellets under high pressure.
This pellet stove is designed and approved to burn wood pellets, that comply with pellet fuels industry
standards. Minimum of 40 lbs. density per cubic foot, 1/4" to 5/16" in diameter, with a maximum length of
1", and less than 1% ash.
The performance of your pellet stove is greatly affected by the type and quality of the wood pellets you
use. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differ, so too will the performance and heat output
of the pellet stove.
We recommend trying various brands and types before purchasing single-ton or muli-ton lots to ensure
satisfaction. A 5-bag sample of pellets will give a good indication of what to expect from a certain
brand/type.
Wood pellets need to be protected from direct exposure to moisture. Water, from sources such as
condensation and humidity, causes pellets to expand and break down into unusable fuel.
Store fuel in dry location, not within clearances to combustibles of your stove.
It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free from dirt and debris. Dirty fuel will
adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit, and can void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel
Institute (PFI) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. Only use pellets that meet or
exceed PFI standards for premium fuels.
Depending on the source material, pellets may have differing ash contents.
Fuel Material and Storage
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you have to clean your fire pot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content, it may be necessary to clean the burn pot more
than once per day.
Poor quality fuel will cause clinkers to form in the burn pot. Clinkers are formed when non-combustible
impurities are super heated and become glass-like.
Pro Tip: We recommend using Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI) certified pellet fuel with this stove.
Notice: Tested and approved for wood pellet fuel only. Burning any other type of fuel voids warranty.
(Cord wood, wood chips, corn, shells, cherry pits, etc...)
Hardwoods with a high mineral content.
Fuel that contains bark and other impurities.
Standard grade pellets.
Higher Ash Content Material:
Most softwoods.
Fuels with low mineral or impurity content.
Most premium grade pellets.
Lower Ash Content Material
Garbage, Lawn clippings or yard waste, Materials containing rubber, including tires, Materials
containing plastic, Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products,
Materials containing asbestos, Construction or demolition debris, Railroad ties, or pressure-treated
wood, Manure or animal remains, or Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard
Do Not Burn:
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and
cause smoke.
WARNING!
Operation

17 comfortbilt.net
Operation
Getting Ready
Combustion blower will turn on. (Panel will display "Igniting")
Igniter will heat up.
Auger system will deliver pellets into the burn pot. (Smoke may occur during ignition but will evacuate once
the flame appears in the burn pot.)
Convection blower will turn on once the stove heats up. (Panel will display "Heating")
Combustion and convection blowers will continue to run even after your stove has been shut down. (Panel
will display "Fire off" or "Cooling")
What to Expect
Odors and vapors are released during initial startup after purchase, and may persist for several days.
Burning your stove on a higher level will speed the curing process. Open windows or doors for air
circulation until curing/burn off is complete, or perform a "pre-burn" outdoors.
During startup and operation, the stove's front door must be closed.
Priming is only required the first time the stove is lit, or after a "Low Temperature" fault due to low pellets
in the hopper. (see Pre-ignition checklist)
Pro Tip
Your stove utilizes a vertical auger fuel feed system that is operated by a microprocessor controlled digital
circuit board. The digital circuit board allows the vertical auger fuel system to run in a timer based, non-
continuous cycle. This cycling allows the auger to run for a predetermined amount of time. The auger
pushes pellets up a chute located in the hopper. The pellets will then turn and fall through another chute
into the burn pot.
Your stove is equipped with an automatic ignition system that should ignite the fuel within 5 minutes of
displaying "Igniting".
As pellets fill the burn pot and ignite, outside air is drawn through the fuel and heated during the
combustion process which is then pulled across the heat exchange tubes by the exhaust motor.
As the stove reaches operating temperature, the room air is then circulated through the heat exchange
tubes by a room air blower (convection blower), distributing warm air into the room.
The amount of heat that is produced by the stove is proportional to the rate of fuel that is burned.
Because a forced draft pressure is required for the combustion process inside the stove, it is extremely
important that the exhaust system be properly installed and maintained.
Front glass and ash pan doors must remain closed while in operation and the seals on the doors must be
properly maintained.
Understanding Your Stove
WARNING!
Do NOT operate stove with door open.
Do NOT operate stove without the ash pan drawer in place.
Do NOT operate stove without burn pot in place.
Do NOT store flammable materials in the stove's vicinity.
Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, lighter fluid or similar liquids to start a fire in this
stove.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of the stove.
Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use, as combustible materials may
ignite.

Check Fans - Ensure that combustion and convection fans freely spin when
flicked and that no damage or seizing occurred during transport. (There should be
little resistance and the fan blades will spin like a skate wheel)
Plug Unit In - Plug the power cable into the main power switch assembly block at
the back of the stove and switch the power switch to the On position. (- is on, 0 is
off)
Boot Up - The panel will boot up, displaying the logo screen and the current
program being used. It should read: HP61_U01 115V 60Hz quickly before
displaying the home screen.
Prime Auger - Now test and prime the auger system. Press the Combination
Function button (#7) on the control panel. (red indicator light will come on). Then
the Enter button (#11). "Feeding On" message will display on the screen, and the
auger will engage to slowly draw pellets into the drop chute. After about a minute,
pellets should start dropping into the burn pot. Once pellets start to feed, press
the Exit button (#9) to stop the feeding. "Feeding Off" message will display. Now
press the Combination Function button (#7) again (red indicator light will go out).
Ready to start - The stove is now ready to start. (Empty any extra pellets from the
burn pot before igniting)
