2.0 GENERAL INFORmATION
2.1 PELLET qUALITY
Thank you for purchasing the Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Heater. This heater is designed for use with Pelletized Wood Only.
Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning room heater. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
This Pellet Heater, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with the local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code
in the United States.
This heater will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system.
The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room temperature but this can be improved if
the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat source.
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Heater has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do not
use any other type of fuel such as fire logs or fire starting pellets, as this will void the warranties stated in this
manual.
The performance and heat output of the pellet heater is directly related to the quality and moisture of the
pellets. Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption.
!
WARNING
It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as
high salt content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will
void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Institute (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufac-
turers. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a
recommended pellet type.
Fines (fine particles) 1% maximum through a 1/8" screen
Bulk Density 40 pound per cubic foot minimum
Size 1/4" to 5/16" diameter, 1/2" - 1 1/2" long maximum
Ash Content 1% maximum (Premium grade)
3% maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content 8% maximum
Heat Content Approximately 8200 BTU per pound minimum
P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:
If the fuel does not comply to this standard the heater may not operate as designed. We recommend the use of
premium grade (1% ash content) for longer heater life and less frequent cleaning.

2.5 EPA COmPLIANCE
This heater is EPA exempt from Phase II
requirements, but has been tested for emissions
using EPA test methods by Warnock Hersey.
We recommend that our pellet hearth
products be installed and serviced by

Training (WETT). www.wettinc.ca
TP - PELLET SAFETY FEATURES
TP - PELLET EPA
2.4 SAFETY FEATURES
HIGH LIMIT SWITCH: Your heater is equipped with a high limit switch. In the event that the temperature of the heater
approaches an unsafe operating temperature, this switch will shut down the pellet feed, which will eventually shut down the
unit. If this happens, it is important to find out why the unit overheated. Contact your local dealer.
LOW LIMIT SWITCH: This switch will automatically shut down the heater if the fire goes out or fails to light within 15 minutes.
HOPPER DOOR INTERLOCK: Your heater is equipped with a micro switch in the hopper assembly that will disable the auger
when the hopper door is opened. Closing the door enables the auger, allowing pellets to feed again.
VACUUM SWITCH: This switch will sense lack of air flow through the heater and shut down the pellet feed. This lack of flow
could be caused by a blocked vent.
POWER FAILURE: In the event of a power failure, the heater will shut down. Once power is restored, the heater will re-start,
unless the convection air temperature has gone above the high limit switch setting. If this happens, contact your local dealer.

3.0 INSTALLATION PLANNING
Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify your
insurance company before proceeding with installation.
Before installing we recommend placing the heater outside and load 5 pounds of pellets inside the hopper.
Plug the heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn off most of
the oils on the steel, thereby minimizing any smell inside the home.
!
WARNING
Read entire manual before you install or use this heater. Failure to follow the instructions may
result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Have an authorized dealer install the heater. If you install the heater yourself, have your dealer review your
installation plans and/or installation.
Draw out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions and verify the dimensions with the require-
ments listed in this manual.
For built-in enclosures, when determining the location of the heater, locate the wall studs (for horizontal
penetrations). You may wish to adjust the heater position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a
framing member.Heater must be positioned so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g.
drapes, doors), 48" of the front of the heater.
If the heater is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' above the base of the heater, the
installation must follow the requirements in the section "Alcove Installations Requirements".

installations. Use 4" diameter vent if vent or liner height is over 15' or if installation is over 4,000' above sea
level.
The vent must have a support bracket every 5' when on the exterior wall.
To achieve optimum performance, keep vent runs as short as possible,
especially on horizontal installations.
MAXIMUM VENTING: Maximum venting height is 33'. Maximum
horizontal vent run is 10'. Use no more than 180° of elbows (two
90' elbows, or two 45' elbows and one 90' elbow, etc), excluding
the tee and the termination.
VENT INSTALLATION: Termination must exhaust above the air
inlet elevation, and parallel or above the exhaust output of the
pellet appliance. It is recommended that at least 3' of vertical pipe
be installed to create some natural draft. This is to help prevent the
possibility of smoke or odour entering the home during the appliance
shut down or in the event of a power outage. Horizontal sections must
have a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel if longer than 3'.
The pellet vent connections must be sealed with HI-Temp RTV
Silicone and screwed together with at least 3-3/8" long stainless
steel screws. Seal each vent section by injecting a liberal
amount of 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone sealant into the gap.
We recommend sealing the outside of the vent connections to
permit easier access when servicing.

FIGURE 4.2
4.4 PELLET vENT TERmINATION
The vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering) or a 45° downturn.
If the termination is located on a windy side of the house, a shield is recommended to prevent soot from
building up on the side of the house.
Horizontal terminations must protrude 12" from the wall, vertical terminations require a minimum 24" above the
highest point that it penetrates through the roof.
Depending on pellet quality, vent configuration and air settings, black soot may occur on the terminal wall.
!
WARNING
Pellet vent must maintain a minimum 3" clearance to any combustible (install vent at clearances
specified by the vent manufacturer).
Do not connect the pellet vent to a vent or chimney serving any other appliance or heater.
Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.

4.6.7 INSTALLATION INTO A mASONRY hEATER
Prior to installation:
When installing into a masonry fireplace, do not remove any bricks or masonry. Do not weaken the structure, or reduce the
protection for combustible materials to less then that required by the National Building Code.
Bolted or screwed together pieces (smoke shelf / deflectors) may be removed, but must be able to be re-installed if the
heater was removed.
External trim pieces, which do not affect the operation of the fireplace, may be removed provided they are available to be
re-installed in event the heater is removed.
A warning label must be attached to the back wall of the fireplace stating that “This fireplace has been altered to accommo-
date a fireplace insert and must be re-inspected by a qualified person prior to re-use as a factory built fireplace”.
A non-combustible hearth must cover the flooring underneath, as well as extend a minimum of six inches in front and to
both sides of the heater.
Clean all ashes out of the inside of the fireplace. Make sure that the chimney and fireplace are free of cracks, loose mortar,
creosote deposits, blockage or other signs of deterioration. If necessary, have any repair work done by a qualified profes-
sional before installing the heater.
A. Remove the fireplace damper or fasten it permanently open.
B. Measure the throat of the fireplace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (flue cover). Cut a hole
sized for the pellet liner to lie directly below the fireplace flue opening. Allow two inches of material for a flange on all
sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the flanges. If you have never done this before, it might be a good
idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it first. Fasten this flue cover in position as high as possible with two
masonry screws per side through the flanges into the fireplace.
C. If you plan on connecting outside air it is recommended to do so at this time.
D. Install floor protection if necessary.
E. Connect the pellet vent with a clean out tee to the back of the stove. Refer to manufacturer's installation instructions
and see the "GENERAL VENTING” section.
F. Run a liner down the chimney and connect to tee.
G. Position the heater in it's final location.
H. Pull the excess length of liner out through the top of the chimney. Trim the excess liner, install the cap and cap the
chimney.
!
WARNING
Do not remove bricks or mortar from the fireplace.
