competent and qualied professional. We recommend
that the stove be inspected before use and at least
annually by a qualied service person. Periodic cleaning
is required throughout the heating season and at the end
of each winter for the stove to work efciently.

Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as
possible,itisrecommendedthatyouinstall a CO detector.
Thisistrueforoil,gas,orwoodburningproductsaswell.
COisnotspecicallyheavierorlighterthanair.Therefore,
itisbesttoinstallthedetectorattabletoplevelratherthan
ontheceilinglikeasmokedetector.
COdetectorsareverysensitiveandmaysoundanalarm
forfumesotherthanCOorCOfromsourcesotherthan
thestovesuchasacarorlawnmowerexhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1.Increase house ventilation by opening windows or

3Getting Started
A. Design, Installation & Location
Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Considerationmustbegiventosafety,convenience,trafc
ow,andthefactthattheappliancewillneedtobevented
totheoutside.This appliance may only be installed into
an existing masonry or manufactured wood-burning
replace or using the optional zero-clearance cabinet to
build into a newly constructed chase.Itisagoodideato
planyourinstallationonpaper.Useexactmeasurementsfor
clearances and oor protection, before actually beginning
theinstallation.
Maintain specied vent clearance to combustible
requirementslistedbythe ventmanufacturersinstructions
andallapplianceclearancesaslistedinthismanual.
Check with your local building code agency before you
begin your installation. Local codes may supersede the
testlaboratoriesspecications.Alwaysobtainanyrequired
permit(s) so that insurance protection benets cannot be
unexpectedlycancelled.Ifanyassistanceisrequiredduring
installation,pleasecontactyourdealer.
Werecommendthataqualiedbuildinginspectorandyour
insurancecompanyrepresentativereviewyourplansbefore
andaftertheinstallation.
2. Room Sensor Location
The room sensor's location will have some effect on the
appliance'soperation.Whenthesensorislocatedcloseto
the appliance, it may require a higher setting to keep the
rest of the house comfortable. If the sensor is located in
anadjacentroom,orfartherawayfromthestove,youwill
noticehighertemperaturesneartheappliance.
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue

thedesignatedairspacearoundthechimney.Thisspace
aroundachimneyisnecessarytoallownaturalheat
removalfromthearea.Insulationinthisspacewillcause
aheatbuildup,whichmayignitewoodframing.NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
givenseriousconsideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of
your home. Detectors should be located away from
the heating appliance and close to sleeping areas.
Follow the smoke detector manufacturer's placement
and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain
regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A re extinguisher to
contendwithsmallresresultingfromburningembers.
3. Apracticedevacuationplan,consistingofatleasttwo
escaperoutes.
4. Aplantodealwithahopperreasfollows:
Intheeventofahopperre:
a.Turnapplianceto"OFF".

specically.Whileitisnotrecommendedthatyouuse
the same chimney for more than one appliance, in
Canadacertainexceptionsmaybemade.Besureto
contactyourbuildingcodeinspectionofcialtoseeif

specicrequirementsforsuchaninstallation.
Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue
servicing another appliance.
B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-down, and Power
Failure:
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-
back in the pellet burning appliance during power
failure or shut-down conditions, the stove must
be able to draft naturally without exhaust blower
operation.Negativepressureinthehousewillresistthis
naturaldraftifnotaccountedforinthepelletappliance
installation.
Heatrisesinthehouseandleaksoutatupperlevels.
Thisairmustbereplacedwithcoldairfromoutdoors,
whichowsintolowerlevelsofthehouse.Ventsand
chimneysintobasementsandlowerlevelsofthehouse
can become the conduit for air supply, and reverse
undertheseconditions.
Outside Air:
Hearth & Home Technologies recommend attaching
outside air in all installations, especially lower level
and main oor locations.
Pernationalbuildingcodes,considerationmustbegiven
tocombustionairsupplytoallcombustionappliances.
Failure to supply adequate combustion air for all
appliancedemands,mayleadtoback-draftingofthose
andotherappliances.
Whentheapplianceisside-wallvented:Theairintake
isbestlocatedonthesameexteriorwallastheexhaust
vent outlet and located lower on the wall than the
exhaustventoutlet.
When the appliance is roof vented: The air intake is
bestlocatedontheexteriorwallorientedtowardsthe
prevailingwinddirectionduringtheheatingseason.
Theoutsideairconnectionwillsupplythedemandsof
thepelletappliance,butconsiderationmustbegivento
thetotalhousedemand.Housedemandmayconsume
someairneededforthestove,especiallyduringapower
failure.Itmaybenecessarytoaddadditionalventilation
tothespaceinwhichthepelletapplianceislocated.
ConsultwithyourlocalHVACprofessionaltodetermine
theventilationdemandsforyourhouse.
Theoutsideairkitconsistsofauestubpipe,berglass
gasket,siliconegasket,intakeboxandasectionofex
pipe.
Anadjustablechimneyintakeextension,part#1-00-
674104isavailabletobeusedonmasonrychimneys
only.
Toinstalloutsideair,usekitpartnumber1-00-774280.
Followtheinstallationinstructionsprovidedwiththekit.
Vent Congurations:
Toreduceprobabilityofreversedraftingduringshut-
downconditions,Hearth&HomeTechnologiesstrongly
recommends:
• Installingthepelletventwithaminimumverticalrun
ofvefeet,preferablyterminatingabovetheroofline.
• Installingtheoutsideairintakeatleastfourfeetbelow
theventtermination.
Topreventsootdamagetoexteriorwallsofthehouse
andtopreventre-entryofsootorashintothehouse:
• Maintain specied clearances to windows, doors,
andairinlets,includingairconditioners.
• Ventsshouldnotbeplacedbelowventilatedsofts.
Runtheventabovetheroof.
• Avoidventingintoalcovelocations.
• Ventsshouldnotterminateunderoverhangs,decks
orontocoveredporches.
• Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches from
theventterminationtotheexteriorwall.Ifyousee
deposits developing on the wall, you may need
to extend this distance to accommodate your
installationconditions.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for, nor does the warranty extend
to, smoke damage caused by reverse drafting of
pellet appliances under shut-down or power failure
conditions.
Do not connect this unit to any air distribution
duct or system.

Horizontal90oorT: 4.0'
Horizontal45o: 2.0'
*Long runs of ex or PL vent pipe installed directly
vertical from the ue stub may require more frequent
cleaning due to y ash falling off inside and collecting
directly above the combustion blower outlet.
Any use of horizontal venting will require more frequent
cleaning. It is the responsibility of the installer to make
sure the entire flue configuration is accessible for
cleaning.
Stainless steel ex vent is only allowed for use in

The image at left shows the use of the chimney
for outside air supply. Also shown is the
Chimney intake extension on the top of the
chimney. It is slotted to allow fresh air into
the ue. Be sure to use the proper ashing
and vent cap to prevent rain from entering the
chimney ue.
The image below demonstrates bringing the
outside air in through a hole cut through the
rear of the replace and external wall. With this
method, a screen is necessary to prevent birds
or rodents from entering.

knockoutforthecordretainer.Removetheappropriate
knockoutandfeedtheloosewireendofthecordinto
thehole.Ifyourcordneedsto
exitfromtherightside,route
thecordupthesideandover
thetopofthemountingframe
and back down the left side.
Attach the ground wire ring
terminal to the bottom stud
on the left, and use the two
hooks on the top corners of
themountingframetosecure
thecord.Slipthecordclamp
ontothecordright infrontof
theopeninginthesidepanel.
Using a pliers, compress the

1.Removetheinsertbodyfromthemountingframe;
2.Startyourlevelingboltsintotheooroftheframe
and adjust to slightly raise the height.(see next
section)Thiswillallowsomeclearancetoassemble
thesurround.
3.Prepare the side panels by removing three nuts
each.Theleftsidepanelistheonewiththecontrol

Mostimportantly, theframemust be level.Again,be
certainthatthesurroundisnotsupportingtheweight.
Turnthelevelingscrewsinuntilthereisaslightgap
beneaththesurroundpanels.
Hereareafewdifferentwaystoanchorthemounting
frame.
Onthesidesoftheframe,
thereareafewholeswhich
can be used to attach
metalstraps.Thesestraps
can be anchored into the
replace using masonry
anchors. You could also
use any of the unused
holesinthebottomofthe
frame to install anchors
and lag bolts. Another
optioninvolvesusingkit#
1-00-774279.Here,youwillmountplatestotheframe.
Theseplateshavecouplingnutsweldedtothem.The
kit also includes two pieces of 1/2" all thread, which
threadsintothecouplingnuts.Thesecanbeusedto
tightenupwardagainstthelinteluntiltheunitissecure.
E. Attaching the Venting
The ue collar on the rear of the mounting frame is
designedtopivot.Loosenthefourmountingboltsand
adjusttheangleofthecollarasneeded.Shownabove
istheverticalpositionandthehorizontalposition.Be
sure the ber gasket remains in place between the
collarandthemountingframe,andsecurethebolts.
Secure the rst section of venting to the collar with
a minimum of two fasteners. Self-drilling screws will
workwellforthis.Oncetheventingissecuredandthe
seamsare sealed,itisrecommendedthatyouwrap
the vent pipe with a non-combustible insulation to
preventoverheatingofthemotorsandotherappliance
components. This is required (and supplied) when
usingtheoptionalZeroClearanceCabinet.
The mounting frame is the anchor for the appliance.
If the frame is not secured properly, shifting will
occur when sliding the insert in or out.
