QUICK OVERVIEW
Installation
1. Check your local Building and Fire codes, regulations and requirements before installing your fire.
2. A qualified installer or service technician must carry out installation and repairs, following the instructions in this
manual. Any panels or parts removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the fire. Never attempt to repair
any part of the fire yourself
3. Any modifications to the fire, unless authorised by Parkwood Pellet Fires, could be dangerous and will void the
warranty of the fire.
4. This fire must be connected to an earthed standard 240-volt 50 Hz electrical outlet. Parkwood Pellet Fires
recommends that a power surge protector be fitted.
5. NEVER cut or remove the grounding prong from the power cord plug.
6. NEVER connect this fire to a chimney or flue serving another appliance.

Installation, Operating and Service Manual
For safe installation and operation of your pellet Fire, read and follow the safety instructions on pages 4 & 5 and throughout the manual.
© 10 6 2013 Firemakers Limited Page 4
7. The fire exhaust system works with a negative combustion chamber pressure (vacuum) and a low positive chimney
pressure. It is very important that the exhaust system be completely airtight and properly installed. The chimney joints
should overlap at least 40mm, be sealed with RTV 260 degrees Celsius (500 F) silicone sealant and secured with at
least 3 sheet metal screws or rivets.
Operation and Safety
1. ALWAYS follow the Starting and Stopping instructions in this manual; short cuts of any kind can be dangerous.
2. This fire will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blowers and fuel feeding system.
3. Your fire is designed and approved for burning Premium Quality 6 - 7mm pelletized wood pellet fuel, which meets or
exceeds AS/NZS 4014.6 2007. Burning of any other fuel or materials is not permitted. Failure to comply with this
restriction will void all warranties and the safety listing of the fire. Poor quality fuel will directly (and adversely) affect
efficiency and cleanliness of your fire’s operation. Refer to Pellet Fuel Quality on page 16.
4. ALWAYS keep the hopper at least ¼ full.
5. NEVER use unapproved fuel such as petrol, petrol type fuel, kerosene, lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” this fire. Do not store or use petrol or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the fire.
6. NEVER obstruct free airflow through air vents or the flue.
7. Never attempt to operate this fire without the Burn pot liner in place.
8. Do not place hands at the bottom of the hopper because moving parts may cause injury.
9. NEVER unplug the fire when it is operating, always turn the fire off with the switch and allow the fire to complete the
shutting down mode.
10. NEVER place combustible objects (clothing etc.) on or near your fire.
11. Do not operate aerosol sprays or flammables in the vicinity of the fire while it is in operation.
12. NEVER allow children near the fire during operation, and do not allow anyone to operate the fire who is unfamiliar
with these instructions. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and people
should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Fit a fire safety guard around the fire if children are present.
13. When disposing of ash accumulations from the fire, always place them in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container must be placed on a noncombustible surface well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
14. INSTALL a smoke detector within the proximity of your pellet fire, or as required by your local council.
15. NEVER put foreign objects in the hopper or burn rubbish.
16. Do not place unburned or raw pellet fuel in the ash pan. This may cause a fire in the ash pan and excess emissions
may occur.
17. Always unplug the fire from the power supply when the fire is not being used for prolonged periods.
Maintenance
1. ALWAYS wait until the fire has entirely cooled and disconnect the power before performing any maintenance.
2. Carbon and fly ash: The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the
firebox and exhaust system. Fly ash will restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs
during start-up, stopping, or incorrect operation of the fire will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the
exhaust system. The exhaust system should be inspected at least once every year for any buildup of ash, soot or
creosote to determine if cleaning is necessary.
3. Do not abuse the glass by striking it or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the fire with broken glass. The
fire has 5mm pyroceramic glass. Replacement glass must be of the same specifications –refer to a Parkwood Pellet
Fires Distributor. To clean the glass, use a dampened, paper towel, or tissue. Always dampen with water only. For
difficult to remove stains, dip the dampened cloth into some ash from the ash pan. NEVER use abrasive cleaning
agents or chemicals on the glass.
4. ALWAYS carry out annual maintenance.
Parkwood Pellet Fires assumes no responsibility for poor fire performance or consequential damage resulting
from installations that do not comply with the instructions detailed in this manual.

FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
Pellet quality is very important for the efficient operation of your Fire, please read the following information
This fire has been designed to burn 6 - 7mm Premium Quality Wood Pellets only. It is important to select and use only
pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt or silica content. Parkwood Pellet Fires
recommend that you burn only premium quality wood pellet fuel. Do not use any other type of fuel or dirty fuel, as this
will void any warranties stated in this manual. The performance of your fire is greatly affected by the type and quality of
wood pellets being burned. The heat output and ash content of various quality wood pellet fuel differs and will
considerably affect the performance and heat output of the fire. Poor quality pellet fuel will also result in excessive
amounts of ash in the burn pot liner and the firebox becoming black with carbon. Refer to Pellet Fuel Quality on page
16 for proper fire operation when poor quality fuel is being used.
Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty.
We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed AS/NZS 4014.6 2007 as listed below.
FUEL TYPE: Premium Grade Residential Fuel
Heat Content: 18 to 21 MJ/kg (8200 BTU/lb. Min)
Bulk Density: Not less than 0.64kg / L (40 lb /cubic ft. min)
Moisture Content: 4 - 8% max
Ash Content: Not greater than 0.8% (oven dry basis)
Size: 6-7mm diameter
Fines: 1% max through 3.2mm screen
NOTE: Pellet fuel is hydroscopic and it will absorb moisture from the air. Pellet fuel bags are not airtight or
waterproof. Pellet fuel should be stored off the ground (on a pallet or plastic sheet) in a dry area that is not
exposed to the elements. Do not use fuel that has got damp.

Installation, Operating and Service Manual
For safe installation and operation of your pellet Fire, read and follow the safety instructions on pages 4 & 5 and throughout the manual.

SAFETY & RATING LABEL LOCATIONS
1. A rating label is located inside the hopper lid which indicates the fire’s unique serial number.
2. See the safety section of this manual for safe operating tips.
3. Information and warning labels are located inside the hopper lid. These labels provide information on operation and
maintenance that the operator should always follow when operating the fire. Keep the hopper lid closed during
operation.
4. There are electrical warning labels inside the fire that warn the operator and service technicians, to disconnect the
fire from the power before servicing. Also, the warning labels inform the operator and service technicians that the fire
should not be operated with the panels removed.
PELLET FIRE COMPONENTS
Control Panel: Located at the top of the right or left side panel of the fire. The control panel contains all the switches
necessary to operate the fire by controlling all electrical components with a microprocessor.
Exhaust Fan: The exhaust fan is connected to the flue system and provides combustion air from the air intake pipe
into the burn pot before venting the combustion air into the atmosphere through the flue. The control panel controls the
speed of the exhaust fan.
Convection Blower: This is located at the lower front of the heater. It draws room air in the front bottom of the heater
and passes it through the heat exchanger and out the top front grille. This fan is speed controlled to match the heat
setting of the heater.
Auger Feed Motor: Located on the end of the auger shaft. The flights on the auger shaft deliver fuel from the hopper
to the burn pot liner inside the firebox. By using the heat up and down switches, the control panel controls the amount
of time that the auger feed motor is turned on and thereby controls the amount of fuel fed to the burn pot liner. The
power pulses sent to the auger feed motor can be seen flashing on the control panel. Fuel delivery will vary depending
on the bulk density, quality and length of the pellets.
Igniter: Protrudes through the firebox and onto the burn pot liner. The igniter is a 250W electric cartridge element that
lights the fire from the hot air drawn off the igniter by the exhaust fan. The on/off switch on the control panel controls
the igniter. The igniter turns off when the exhaust temperature sensor detects a significant sustained temperature rise
or after 20 minutes. For ease of relighting the fire, the igniter will always turn on each time the fire is turned on.
Exhaust Temperature Sensor (Thermistor): Located on the exhaust fan, this sensor monitors the temperature at the
exhaust fan and sends data back to the control panel.
Over Temperature Sensor: Located on heat shield between the firebox and the hopper, this sensor is a mechanical,
normally closed, bi-metallic snap disk operating at 90ºC. When the bi-metallic sensor opens, power to the auger motor
is terminated. The fire will go into ‘stopping mode’ once the combustion temperature drops below that reached during
the lowest heat setting (approximately 35ºC). The purpose of this sensor is to shut the entire system down (after
allowing it to cool) in the event that the firebox overheats. This is usually attributed to a convection blower failure.
Incoming Mains plug: Located at the mid left rear of the fire.
Fuse: There is a mains fuse located within the incoming mains plug.
Optional Extras
Wall Thermostat: A wall-mounted thermostat can be hard wired into the wiring loom of all Parkwood Pellet Fires. The
thermostat will call for more or less heat depending on the thermostat temperature setting and the control panel will
deliver more or less fuel as required. The thermostat will not turn the fire on or off, if there is excess heat the fire will
continue to run at the lowest setting. A wireless thermostat option may soon be available.
Timer: A new wireless based system is under development to allow automatic starting and stopping times to be set
and a thermostat using a wireless system. Check with your Parkwood distributor to upgrade or to order this option for
your fire.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow instructions may result in
damage to the fire, property damage, or injury.
Look at the rating label inside the hopper lid to find the serial number. We recommend that you write the serial number
of the fire and date of installation on the front of this manual as you may need to refer to it for any warranty claims or
technical advice.
1. The correct safe clearances must be strictly adhered to.
2. Allow for adequate accessibility for servicing and proper operations.
3. When establishing clearances, measure from any combustible projection, such as; shelves, windowsills, fireplace
mantles above the appliance, etc.
4. Proper flue installation is required for safe, reliable operation.
5. Use an upside down carpet mat to slide the fire into position and to prevent floor damage.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST FLUEING SYSTEM OF THIS FIRE. THIS FIRE MUST BE
CONNECTED TO A PROPER FLUE SYSTEM WHILE IN USE - DO NOT CONNECT THIS FIRE TO A CHIMNEY OR
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Electrical Information
The use of a power surge protector is strongly recommended. If a power point needs to be installed, a qualified
electrician must carry this task out.
Parkwood Pellet Fires are supplied with a three-prong (earthed) plug. The fire will not operate properly in a non-
compliant improperly earthed electrical outlet. Contact a local electrician to ensure proper electrical power is provided
to the fire. To avoid any shock hazard, the fire should be plugged directly into a properly earthed three-prong
receptacle, preferably, a power surge device. Do not cut or remove the earth prong from the plug.
Ensure that the electrical cord is in good condition and is not (or has not been) trapped under the fire and that it is clear
of any hot surfaces or sharp edges. Inspect the power cord for damage before plugging into a mains supply. If the
power cord becomes damaged, a replacement power cord must be purchased from your Parkwood Pellet Fires
distributor.
The power cord must remain accessible at all times. To avoid the risk of electric shock, always disconnect the power
cord before servicing the fire. Never service the fire with wet hands and replace all panels and components before
operating the fire. Only qualified technicians should repair possible internal electrical failures.
Seismic Restraints
Check with your local building inspectors and code to determine whether the fire is required to be bolted to the floor or
restrained in some other acceptable manner. Parkwood recommends that all free standing fires are bolted to the floor
to prevent accidental movement which may result in flue seal damage. This is particularly important when fires are
positioned on tiles or other smooth surfaces. . Fires mounted on pedestal hearths can be restrained by using the two
(2) 8mm holes at each side of the base of the fire (remove side panels).
Air Supply Considerations
The air intake is via a 50mm pipe with a filter attached to it. The filter is to condition the air drawn into the heater to
protect the airflow sensor from fouling. The soft Dacron type element should be replaced annually.
Pellet heaters are made from steel and as they are connected to a flue that is exposed to the outside, air will flow
through the heater all the time whether the heater is running or not. At times, (especially if you have extractor fans in
the kitchen or bathroom) outside air is drawn in through the heater and if this air is damp, or worse, damp and salty
(near the coast) corrosion can occur.
If you are concerned about this the simple way to fix it is to remove the cap from the bottom of the flue (this can be
messy) and stuff a rag up the flue about 100mm to block it off during the summer period while the heater is not being
used. Remember to remove it before use the next season.
Corrosion to the firebox due to moisture will not be covered by the warranty.

Installation, Operating and Service Manual
For safe installation and operation of your pellet Fire, read and follow the safety instructions on pages 4 & 5 and throughout the manual.

POSITIONING OF THE PELLET FIRE
1. Position the fire in a large open room that is centrally located in the home. Direct the fire so that the convection
fan will blow hot air into the area that requires heating.
If possible, position the fire on an exterior wall and direct the fire to an interior door so that the fire will firstly heat
the principal room, then fan force centrally heat other areas of the home when the interior door is opened.
Try not to position the fire so that the convection fan blows air into a wall or opposite an exterior door.
2. Check clearances from combustibles.
3. Check the location of the power point.
4. You can flue the fire internally (check for structural beams and trusses where the proposed flue passes through
the ceiling), or externally behind the fire through an external wall.
5. All single skin flue components must have 75mm safe clearance to combustibles. Double skin flue components
must have 25mm safe clearance to combustibles.
DESIGNING A FLUE
Pellet Fires have more installation options than any other solid fuel appliance. Standard installations are illustrated
below. Variations to the standard installations are perfectly acceptable when considering the following;
All Parkwood Pellet Fires must have a minimum vertical flue length of 1.2m to prevent poor performance of the fire or
smoke entering the room during a power failure.
Once the positioning of the Pellet Fire and the installation type has been established it is important that you design a
flue system that ensures gas velocity and temperatures are maintained. If the flue system is too long, contains
excessive horizontal sections or several elbows, the exhaust fan may not be able to overcome the resistance offered
by the 75mm system and the gasses may cool and form creosote in the flue system before they are vented. The fire
may perform poorly as a consequence of this.
Parkwood strongly recommends that the installation configurations illustrated in this manual are adhered to.
Restrictive Flue Designs
Gas leakage is more likely where the system design or other problems cause high pressure in the flue. Short flue
systems may produce low pressures and less likelihood of leakage. One of the most restrictive aspects of a pellet
flueing system is a horizontal section. Horizontal runs of pellet flue should not exceed 1.2m. Where the flue system
incorporates several elbows or is very long, it may be advisable to increase the diameter irrespective of the equivalent
length calculation. The larger flue will allow the same amount of gas to flow, but at a lower pressure. Also, keep in
mind, that a relatively long system that is all vertical may not be restrictive because of the natural draft assistance.
Refer to an authorised Parkwood distributor for advanced restrictive flue designs for complex systems.

Installation, Operating and Service Manual
For safe installation and operation of your pellet Fire, read and follow the safety instructions on pages 4 & 5 and throughout the manual.

INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS
FREE STANDING INTERNAL VERTICAL INSTALLATION
Parkwood recommends an internal vertical installation as the preferred installation. The vertical rise assists the exhaust
fan with natural draft and will prevent wind induced flueing failure. Also extreme cold cannot cool the gasses before
they are flued or cause condensation to form as can be the situation with some external installations. In addition,
radiant heat from the flueing is retained within the home.
Free Standing Internal Vertical Installation Instructions and Diagram
Refer to the Diagram and installers Flue Instructions and check your local building codes, regulations and requirements
1. Choose a fire location that is suitable. See the section “Positioning the Pellet Fire” on page 7.
2. Place a non-combustible hearth pad where required, if necessary.
3. Install the clean out tee and elbow, place the wall or ceiling ring over the elbow.
Place the fire on the pedestal hearth pad (if installed on a combustible surface) and place the fire in position so that
when the flue is installed vertically, it will be 25mm away from a combustible wall.
4. Use a plumb bob to establish the center of the flue on the ceiling. Ensure that there are no obstacles in the roof
space where the flue is to pass. Use a divider set at a radius of 85mm to scribe a 170mm circle on the ceiling. Use a
plaster panel hole saw to cut the hole out.
5. Use a plumb bob to establish the center of the flue on the roof.
6. Install the flue upward from there. When you reach the ceiling, make sure that the inner and outer flue goes through
the wall or ceiling ring.
7. Fit a 100mm clamp support bracket on the cleanout tee if there are more than six (6) 1.2m lengths of flue to support
the weight of the flue.
8. When using double skin flue components, a 25mm clearance is required from all combustibles. Single skin flue
components must have a 75mm safe clearance from combustibles.
For wall and ceiling penetrations, additional safe clearance (75mm from the inner flue) is met by installing a Parkwood
supplied wall or ceiling ring. Fit a non combustible shield (12mm from the combustible surface) if safe clearances for
flue components cannot be achieved.
9. Extend the flue to go through the roof and flash the roof penetration.
10. Do not sit the cowl on the outer flue. Ensure that there is a minimum of 20mm gap to allow natural upward draft. A
spacer (spider) or three (3) screws can be used to centralize the inner flue to the outer flue beneath the cowl.

FREE STANDING EXTERNAL VERTICAL INSTALLATION
An external installation is often used when the customer does not want the flue to be visible or if the pellet fire will sit
too far forward in the room for an internal installation to be practical.
Free Standing External Vertical Installation Instructions and Diagram
Refer to the Diagram and Installers Flue Instructions and check your local building codes, regulations and
requirements.
1. Choose a fire location that is suitable. See the section “Positioning the Pellet Fire” on page 7.
2. Place a non-combustible hearth pad where required, if necessary.
3. Determine the centre point of where the flue is to exit the wall of the dwelling and use a divider set at a radius of
85mm to scribe a 170mm circle on the wall. Drill a hole through the wall to establish the centre point on the exterior of
the wall and scribe a 170 mm circle on the exterior of the house, cut the hole in the dwelling wall.
4. Connect a 75mm and 100mm Flue to the fire and pass them through the dwelling wall ensuring that the wall or
ceiling rings are sealed vermin and waterproof with silicone. Connect a clean out tee in a position so that when the Flue
is installed vertically, it will be 25mm away from a combustible wall.
5. Use a plumb bob to establish the center of the flue on the soffit and use a divider set at a radius of 85mm to scribe a
170mm circle on the soffit and cut the hole in the soffit.
6. Use a plumb bob to establish the center of the flue on the roof, cut the hole in the roof.
7. Install the flue upward from there. When you reach the soffit, make sure that the inner and outer flues go through a
wall or ceiling ring to provide adequate safe clearance.
8. When using double skin flue components, a 25mm clearance is required from all combustibles. Single skin flue
components must have a 75mm safe clearance from combustibles.
For wall and ceiling penetrations, additional safe clearance (75mm from the inner flue) is met by installing a Parkwood
supplied wall / ceiling ring. Fit a non combustible shield if safe clearances for flue components cannot be achieved.
9. Extend the flue to go through the roof and flash the roof penetration.
10. Do not sit the cowl on the outer flue. Ensure that there is a minimum of 20mm gap to allow natural upward draft. A
spacer (spider) or three (3) screws can be used to centralize the inner flue to the outer flue beneath the cowl.
