QUICK START GUIDE - WINSLOW™ PI40 PELLET INSERT
PURCHASING THE CORRECT FUEL FOR THE FIREPLACE INSERT
The Winslow PI40 pellet fireplace insert has been designed to burn wood pellets. We
recommend burning Premium Grade wood pellet fuel manufactured by companies who are
members of the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI). Although similar in appearance to those made of
wood, other pelletized fuels such as wheat, barley, cherry pits, etc. will adversely affect the
performance of the fireplace insert and may compromise safety and void warranty.

This guide contains 5 easy steps to help you learn more about using
your new Winslow™ PI40 pellet fireplace insert. Detailed operating
and cleaning instructions are located in the “Installation and Operation
Manual.”

The appearance of the flame can be a good indicator of the overall performance of the insert. A bright clean flame indicates
there is a proper balance of fuel and combustion air which results in efficient burning. A dark slow-moving flame indicates
incomplete combustion and an insert that may be in need of service and/or adjustment (see Damper Adjustment, next page).
MANUAL OPERATION*

The lights on the control board will indicate
the status of the fireplace insert. If the
“Ready” light blinks red, you have an error.
Consult the Installation and Operation Manual
for assistance.
* Refer to the Installation and Operation Manual if you are connecting your fireplace insert to a thermostat. Ignition
and control board functions for automatic (thermostat) operation may be different from the explanations given above.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintaining a clean burn pot is vital to the safe and efficient operation of the fireplace insert. It is a good idea to
verify your burn pot is clean prior to ignition each time you operate your fireplace insert.
DAMPER ADJUSTMENT
The Winslow™ PI40 pellet fireplace insert is equipped with a damper adjustment which is used to fine tune com-
bustion. Although every unit is test burned and calibrated at the factory, periodic adjustment may be necessary at
times to compensate for variables such as fuel, venting, climate, altitude, and maintenance intervals.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
UNPLUG POWER CORD AND ENSURE APPLIANCE IS COLD BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK.
Above is an example of a pellet
“clinker”. This mass of impurities
can reduce airflow through the burn
pot and create an unsafe burning
condition.
Properly cleaned burn pot: The
holes in the bottom and sides are
clean and all the openings are clear.
Dirty burn pot: The holes in the bot-
tom and sides are not completely
visible. The burn pot should be
cleaned.
Opening the damper increases the amount of
combustion air. This can help increase pellet activity in
the burn pot and correct a dark orange or sooty flame.
OPENING THE DAMPER
CLOSING THE DAMPER
Closing the damper decreases the amount of combus-
tion air. This can be a useful adjustment if your fire-
place insert is burning out. However, if the damper is
closed too much, your fireplace insert will burn less
efficiently and require more maintenance.
The damper is located inside the right door.
REFER TO THE “INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MANUAL” FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DAMPER.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (CONTINUED)
In addition to the regular maintenance procedures described below, the “Installation and Operation Manual” out-
lines yearly service that should be performed by a qualified technician.
Burn Pot
Ash Cavity
Additional Yearly
Maintenance*
1-7 Days*
2 Days - 2 Weeks*
*Burning fuel with a high ash content or an improperly adjusted damper may require more frequent cleaning and fireplace insert maintenance.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
BURNING POOR QUALITY FUEL WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF REQUIRED CLEANING.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR FIREPLACE INSERT AS INDICATED IN THE INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION MANUAL CAN RESULT IN AN FIREPLACE INSERT THAT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE.
The burn pot should be checked
for clinkers prior to operating
the fireplace insert. Any non-
combustible material blocking the
burn pot should be emptied prior
to ignition.
The ash drawer serves as a
receptacle to hold ash that has
accumulated in the firebox. Refer
to the Installation and Operation
Manual for proper ash disposal.
Hot! Do not touch! The glass and surface of this appliance will
be hot during operation and will retain heat for a while after
shutting off the appliance. Severe burns may result.
Carefully supervise children in the same room as appliance.
Lennox pellet-burning appliances are designed for use as
supplemental heaters. They are not intended for continuous use
as primary heat sources.
