7. Burning any kind of fuel consumes oxygen. If outside air is
not ducted to the appliance, ensure that there is an adequate
source of fresh air available to the room where the appliance
is installed.
8. Theappliance will notoperate using naturaldraft, nor without
a power source for the blower and fuel feeding systems.
9. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from
the heater while it is in use.
10.The authority having jurisdiction such as municipal building
department, fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc.
should be consulted before installation to determine the
need to obtain a permit.
11.APPROVED FUEL: This appliance is designed specifically
for use only with pelletized wood pellets or a mixture of up
to 50% corn mixed with a minimum of 50% pelletized wood
pellets. This mixture of wood pellets and corn should be
evenly pre-mixed before being placed in the units hopper.
This appliance is designed and approved for the burning of
wood residue pellets with up to 2% ash content. This appli-
ance is NOT approved to burn cardboard, nut hulls, cherry
pits, etc. regardless if it is in pellet form. Failure to comply
with this restriction will void all warranties and the safety
listing of the stove. Consult with your IHP dealer for more
information on approved pellet fuels.
12.CONTINUOUS OPERATION: When operated correctly, this
appliance cannot be overfired. Continuous operation at a
maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the electri-
cal components (blowers, motors, and electronic controls),
and is not recommended. Typical approved operation would
includerunningat the low tomidrangesetting with occasional
running on the maximum setting during the coldest periods
of the winter. DO NOT OVER-FIRE THIS STOVE. Follow all

15.FLY ASH BUILD-UP: For all wood pellet fuel-burning heaters,
the combustion gases will contain small particles of fly-ash.
This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel being burned.
Over time, the fly-ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. The exhaust
venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned
as necessary.
16.SOOT FORMATION: Incomplete combustion, such as occurs
during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room
heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in
the exhaust venting system. A precautionary inspection on
a regular basis is advisable to determine the necessity of
cleaning. The exhaust venting system should be inspected
regularly and cleaned as necessary.

WARNING
Electrical grounding instructions: This appliance is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for
your protection against shock hazard and should be
pluggeddirectlyintoa properlygrounded three-prong
receptacle.Do not cutorremove the groundingprong
from this plug. Do not route power cord under or in
front of appliance.
Surge Protectors
A surge protector is recommended to ensure the stove’s electrical com-
ponents are not damaged due to a surge in the electrical supply. Only
high quality protectors listed to UL1449 should be used - low quality
protectors do not provide the protection needed.
Smoke Detectors
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we
recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke
detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of
occasional false activation from the heat produced by these appliances).
If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same
room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your area.
Installation / Maintenance Standards
NationalFireProtectionAssociation–TheprimaryNFPAstandardthat
refers to installation and maintenance of pellet stoves and venting is
NFPA211–LatestEdition:Chimneys,Fireplaces,Vents,andSolidFuel
appliances.
This appliance requires noncombustible floor protection (the hearth pad
or alternate floor protection material does not require a thermal rating).
A noncombustible floor protector must fully cover the area beneath the
appliance as illustrated in Figure 1.
If the floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared
or grouted to form a continuous noncombustible surface. In Canada, if a
chimney connector / venting extends horizontally over the floor, protection
must also cover the floor under the connector / venting and at least 2” (51
mm) to either side (recommended but not required in the US).
CAUTION
These appliances are very heavy. The use of a heavy
dutyescalara (stairstephand truck)isrecommended
for lifting the appliance.
The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine
its value as a source of heat. This type of appliance depends primarily on
air circulation (convection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central
location is often best. There are other practical considerations, which
must be considered before a final selection of locations is made. Some
of which includes:

• Manufactured Home Installations - When installed into a manufac-
tured home, the appliance must be electrically grounded to the steel
chassis of the manufactured home (see Page 8, Manufactured Home
Requirements).
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WARNING
This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure envi-
ronment. In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace
cold air returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other air system in
close proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure
in the same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous
condition, drawing combustion by-products into the home. Be sure your
home has adequate makeup air to eliminate negative pressures caused
by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air connected to the appliance
probably will not resolve such a problem as the stove is not the source
of negative pressure. IHP accepts no liability for damages resulting from
negative pressures described here.
VentilationRequirements - Provide adequateair for combustion. The fresh
air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space where it
will be installed. Ventilation is essential when using a solid-fuel-burning
heater. In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may inhibit the rate
the exhaust flows through the venting system (caused by a shortage of
air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household
appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat
pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, fireplaces, and other
fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this heater
uses oxygen from inside the dwelling. If the available fresh air delivery
in the dwelling is insufficient to support the demands of these appli-
ances, problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure will result
in performance problems. To correct this problem it may help to open
a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or install an
outside combustion air duct to the appliance.

Figure 13 - Adjustment of Combustion Air
OPENCLOSE
Draft Adjuster - Adjustment Procedure
The Bella™ pellet stove has a draft adjuster located at the left side of the
stove directly in front of the combustion blower. Should the stove instal-
lation require long runs of vent pipe, a situation may be created where
excessive combustion air is flowing through the firebox and causing
the fuel to burn faster than it can be delivered to the Burn-Pot. Should
this happen, the draft can be slowed down by the adjuster. The stove is
shipped with the adjuster half open. To increase or decrease the draft;
using a 5/16" open end wrench, loosen the bolt (see Figure 13)and move
the adjuster handle toward the center of the stove to decrease and away
from the center of the stove to increase the draft. Retighten the screw
when adjustment is complete.
Draft Adjuster
The draft adjuster controls the amount of combustion air that is delivered
to the firebox (see Figure 13).
It will be necessary to monitor the appearance of the flame during the first
4-8 bags of pellets. If the flame is smoky red or orange with evidence of
soot at the top of the flame, the draft adjuster will need to be adjusted
to deliver more combustion air. If the flame is "short" at the higher burn
rates and appears to burn the pellets out of the pot faster than they can
be resupplied, or there are significant variations of flame height within a
single burn setting, the draft adjuster may need to be adjusted to deliver
less combustion air.
After the draft adjuster is adjusted, re-evaluate the appearance of the
flame. It may be necessary to continue adjusting it in increments until
proper combustion is achieved (the flame should become a brighter
yellow and begin to “dance”).
Once the draft adjuster has been properly set, and if the routine main-
tenance is performed as needed, the draft adjuster should not require
readjustment unless you are changing from a premium grade pellet to a
standard or high ash pellet, in which case the draft adjuster may need to
be moved outward from center of the stove to help prevent the accumula-
tion of ash or clinkers in the Burn-Pot.

Draft Adjuster Adjustment Guidelines
Lack of Combustion Air:
By opening the draft adjuster, this will increase combustion air delivery.
Symptoms of insufficient combustion air include; unburned fuel, lazy
smoky or red / orange flame, excessive ash or soot, excessive buildup
on glass.
Contributing factors:
• HighAltitude–Lackofoxygen
• RestrictiveVenting(elbows,horizontalruns,coldexternalchimneys,
etc.)
• Dirty/PoorQualityFuel.
• LackofMaintenance
NOTE: Excessive amounts of fly-ash built-up in the Burn-Pot, clinkers
in the Burn-Pot or leakage of air (if the Burn-Pot is not properly seated)
will starve the fire for air. See Routine Maintenance, on Pages 25
through 30 for information on cleaning requirements.
Excessive Combustion Air:
Adjusting the draft adjuster to a more closed position will reduce the
combustion air delivery. Symptoms of excessive air include; fuel burns
too quickly (results in smoking or smoldering pellets), white to yellow
flame, etc. If the draft adjuster is open too far, the burning pellets will lift
off the bottom of the Burn-Pot and fly up into the air much like popping
corn does. Another flame characteristic of a draft adjuster that is open
too far is a flame that has significant variation in height on any single
burn setting.
Contributing factor:
• Ventingsystemprovidingexcessivedraft.
• Dry,hotburningfuel
Correct Combustion Air / Proper Burn Characteristics:
When the draft adjuster is correctly set, the burning pellets should move
(wiggle) around slightly and the flame should be bright yellow.
Outside Air Installations
Connecting the Bella™ pellet stove to outside combustion air is optional,
except in manufactured (mobile) home installations and when required
by local building codes. The stove’s air intake will accept 3” ID pipe to
accommodate outside air installations. The air intake on the exterior of
the home should always be located a minimum of 18" below the flue
termination and must remain free of obstruction. The inlet must also
have a screen with openings not larger than 1/4" to prevent rodents
from entering.

Pipe/Liner Joint Requirements *
Silicone sealant and three screws are required to secure the first vent connection
to the appliance flue collar. Secure the remaining vent sections using (3) three
screws minimum per section, unless otherwise specified by vent manufacturer's
instructions. ALL horizontal joints must be sealed gas-tight (air tight, sealed
connection). Use RTV high temperature silicone or Interam, if necessary, to
provide a complete seal between vent sections.

existing UL chimney system. Verify with the pipe manufacturer that your
pipe brands will interconnect.
Horizontal Vent Installations
On all horizontal vent installations (short, horizontal runs with no vertical
pipe); care should be taken when choosing a location for terminating the
vent. It is not recommended to directly vent the exhaust on the prevail-
ing wind side of the house. It is recommended that when an appliance is
vented directly through a wall, a minimum of 6 feet (1.83 M) of vertical
pipe should be installed to create some natural draft. This will reduce
the possibility of smoke or odor entering the dwelling during appliance
shutdown or loss of power.
Vent Termination
Do not terminate vent in an enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as:
carports, garage, attic, crawl space, under a deck, porch, narrow walkway,
closely fenced area, or any location that can build up a concentration of
fumes such as a stairwell, covered breezeway etc.
Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched. Adults
should supervise children when they are in the area of a hot stove.
Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
Termination Cap
The termination of the outside chimney of the pellet stove shall be located
in accordance with the following:
A. Higher than 3 feet (.92 m) above any forced air inlet (air conditioner,
etc.)locatedwithin10feet(3m).
B. Not less than 4 feet (1.2 m) below, 4 feet (1.2 m) horizontally from or
1 foot (3.1 m) above any gravity air inlet (door, window, etc.) which
flue gases could reenter the dwelling.
C. Not less than 2 feet (.6 m) from combustible materials such as an
adjacent buildings, fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof
overhang, plants and shrubs, etc. and not less than 7 feet (2.1 m)
above grade when located adjacent to the public sidewalks (access).
The final termination of the exhaust system must be configured so that
flue gases do not jeopardize the safety of people passing by, overheat
combustible portions of nearby structures or enter the dwelling.
D.Thedistancefromthebottomofterminationtogradeis12”(305mm)
minimum unless otherwise specified by the vent manufacturer. This is
conditional upon plants and nature of grade surface: Be careful to choose
a location for the vent termination which does not expose people or shrubs
to high heat from the exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are not hot enough
to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located in the vicinity of the termination
although they should be a minimum of 3 feet (.92 m) away. The grade
surface under the termination must not be a lawn.
E. Since sparks may escape from the exhaust pipe of any stove, use
caution when positioning the vent pipe. Refer to pipe manufacturer’s
instructions when installing and terminating the exhaust. The vent pipe
should be horizontal and never run the pipe in a downward direction
(recommend a 1/4” [7 mm] rise per foot horizontal).
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
It is recommended that only an IHP dealer install your pellet stove. The
specified installation requirements must be followed to ensure conformity
with both the safety listing of the appliance and local building codes. All
clearances, installation instructions and precautions specified by the vent
manufacturer must be followed.
Selecting a Location
Review the appliance clearance requirements before installing the venting
system (see Pages 5 and 6). Position the appliance far enough away
from walls to allow adequate room for servicing. Choose the appliance
location with the least amount of interference with the house framing,
plumbing, wiring, etc.
Preferred Vent Configuration
For the best performance, we recommend a vent run design which runs
vertically and terminates above the roof line. This design will allow natural
draft to improve the flow of flue gases and will aid in combustion and
stove performance.
Type of Pipe
This stove is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL pellet vent
pipe (sometimes referred to as “L-Vent pellet vent”, listed to UL 641 or
ULCS609).Connect the pellet vent pipe or the “tee” to the flue collar
using a minimum of three screws and seal as specified in “Pipe/Liner
Joint Requirements” on this Page. Do not use class B gas chimney or
single wall chimney as a substitute.
Size of Pipe
These pellet stoves are approved for use with the following vent sizes: 3”
(75mm)standard,or4”(100mm),seePage 15 - for determining correct
size vent. When 4” pipe is used: for horizontal vent installations use a 3”

from vent manufacturer.
Offsets
In every installation, a single or double clean-out “tee” is recommended
for every ninety-degree offset (this tee will help collect ash residue and
will allow for routine cleaning without the need to disconnect sections
of pipe).
Pipe Clearances/Requirements
See pipe manufacturers instructions forinstallation of venting components
and clearances. Follow pipe manufacturers installation precautions for
passing pipe through a combustible wall or ceiling (i.e. use an approved
thimble).

Standard Horizontal Vent Installation
Installing the Bella™ Pellet Stove
This stove is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL pellet vent
pipe listed to UL 641 or ULC S609.
1. Locate the proper position for the listed type “PL” wall thimble. Avoid
cutting wall studs when installing your pipe. Use a sabersaw or keyhole
saw to cut the proper diameter hole through the wall to accommodate
the wall thimble. Use extreme caution to avoid cutting into power lines
within the wall of the home. The hole size will depend on the brand
of pellet vent that you are using. Install the wall thimble in the hole.
2. ALL INTERLOCKING PIPE CONNECTIONS MUST BE SEALED GAS-
TIGHT AND SECURED TOGETHER PER VENT MANUFACTURER
INSTRUCTIONS.
 Positionthestoveapproximately12”(305mm)fromthewallonthe
floor pad. Push the “PL” pipe through the wall thimble. Squeeze a
bead of high temperature silicone (RTV) sealer around the end of the
machined portion of the 3” (76 mm) pipe connector on the back of
the stove. Firmly push on a section of “PL” pipe until inner pipe liner
pushes into the bead of RTV sealer.
3. Push the stove with pipe attached towards the wall (the pipe will go
through the wall thimble). Do not position the back of the stove closer
than 2” (51mm) from the wall (see Clearances, Pages 5 and 6).
4. Install listed type “PL” 45 degree elbow with rodent screen or cap on
outside end of pipe. The Inlet shall remain free of obstruction while
unit is in operation and constructed in a manner so as to prevent
material from dropping into the inlet or into the area beneath the
dwelling. The inlet shall also have a screen with openings not larger
than 1/4" to prevent rodents from entering.
5. If the installation includes a source of outside combustion air; cut a
separate hole through the wall for the fresh air tube. This tube should
be 3” (762 mm) minimum diameter I.D., steel only. Connect outside
air pipe to air inlet on stove. This tube must be terminated with a 45
degree elbow or hood.

Control Board
The control board has a six position integrated switch which controls
the fuel feed rate, combustion blower speed and room air blower speed
simultaneously. There is a separate blower speed control that overrides
the integrated switch which will allows you to reduce the speed of the
room air blower, thus reducing the noise level of the stove.
The control board regulates all functions of the stove. The following is a
list of the board’s components:
• LCD Display Screen - SeeLCDScreenDisplays on Pages 21, 22 and
23. The LCD display provides information on the status of the stove,
burn mode, failure mode, burn setting, time left in start-up cycle etc.
which should result in reduced diagnosis time.
• Room Air Blower Speed - Adjusts blower speed from low to high set-
tings. When adjusting to lower speed settings, the feed rate may adjust
accordingly to the blower speed, so the stove will not overheat.
• Ignition / Heat Control- Initiates ignition and controls the level of
heat output from the stove.
• Igniter Fuse - Six amp fuse to protect the igniter heating element.
• Control Board Fuse - Three amp fuse to protect the control board.
