A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Checkbuildingcodespriortoinstallation.
• InstallationMUSTcomplywithlocal,regional,stateand
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
ofcialsorauthoritieshavingjurisdictionoverrestrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and oor protection, before
actuallybeginningtheinstallation.Locationoftheappliance
and chimney will affect performance.
Considerationmustbegivento:
• Safety,convenience,trafcow
• Placementofthe chimney and chimney connector and to
minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Placetheappliancewheretherewillbeaclearpassage
foraListedchimneythroughtheceilingandroof(vertical)
orthroughexteriorwall(horizontal).
• Installingtherequiredoutsideairkitwillaffectthelocation
oftheventtermination.
Whenlocatingventandventingtermination,theidealloca-
tionistoventaboverooflinewhenpossible.Thisminimizes
the affects of wind loading.
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
mustconsiderthelocationof:
• Windows
• AirIntakes
• AirConditioner
• Overhang,softs,porchroofs,adjacentwalls
• Landscaping,vegetation
• Horizontalorverticalventtermination
2. Floor Support
The supporting oor under the appliance must be able to
handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.
Ensure that your oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add sufcient additional support to meet this
weightrequirement priorto installation. The weight of the
applianceis440lbs.withafullloadoffuelthemaxweight
is520lbs.
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT
installdamaged,incompleteorsubstitutecomponents.

The remote thermostat’slocationwillhavesomeaffect on the
appliance’soperation.
• When located close to the appliance, it may require a
slightly higher temperature setting to keep the rest of the
housecomfortable.
• When locatedinanadjacentroomoronadifferentoor

appliance.  No other wall control or thermostat can be
substituted.
D. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Opentheapplianceandremoveallthepartsandarticles
packed inside the Component Pack. Inspect all the parts
and glass for shipping damage.
• Reporttoyourdealeranypartsdamagedinshipment.
• Alllabelshavebeenremovedfromtheglassdoor.
• Platedsurfaceshavebeenwipedcleanwithasoftcloth,

• Inanylocationthatwillallowuegasesorsootfromen-
teringorstainingthebuilding
• Inanylocationwhichcouldcreateanuisanceorhazard
• In any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a carport,
garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or porch,

• Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up
a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered

NOTICE:

• Itisrecommendedthatatleast60inches(1.52m)ofver-
ticalpipebeinstalledwhenapplianceisventeddirectly
through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which will
helppreventthepossibilityofsmokeorodorventinginto
the home during a power outage.
• Itwillalsokeepexhaustfromcausinganuisanceorhazard

• Thesafestandpreferredventingmethodistoextendthe

B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power
Failure
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in
the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down con-
ditions, it 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
Anoutsideairkit(OAK-3)isrecommendedinallinstallations
andmustbeorderedseparately.
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backdraftingofthoseandotherappliances.
Whentheapplianceisroofvented(stronglyrecommended):
Theairintakeisbestlocatedontheexteriorwalloriented
towardstheprevailingwinddirectionduringtheheating
season.
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.
The outside air supply kit can supply most of the demands of
thepelletappliance,butconsiderationmustbegiventothe
total house demand.
House demand may consume the air needed for the appli-
ance. 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.
VentCongurations
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down
conditions Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recom-
mends:
 • Installingthepelletventwithaminimumverticalrunof
5feet(1.52m).Preferablyterminatingabovetheroof
line.
 • Installingtheoutsideairkitatleast4feet(1.22m)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 (305mm)
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.

C. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
ablefortheappliancetooperateproperly.Itcanbestrongest
inlowerlevelsofthehouse.
Causesinclude:
• Exhaustfans(kitchen,bath,etc.)
• Rangehoods
• Combustionairrequirementsforfurnaces,waterheaters
andothercombustionappliances
• Clothesdryers
• Locationofreturn-airventstofurnaceorairconditioning
• ImbalancesoftheHVACairhandlingsystem
• Upperlevelairleakssuchas:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
Tominimizetheeffectsofnegativeairpressure:
• Installtheoutsideairkitwiththeintakefacingprevailing
winds during the heating season
• Ensureadequateoutdoorairforallcombustionappliances
andexhaustequipment
• Ensurefurnaceandairconditioningreturnventsarenot
locatedintheimmediatevicinityoftheappliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessedlightingshouldbea“sealedcan”design
• Attichatchesweatherstrippedorsealed
• Atticmountedductworkandairhandlerjointsandseams
taped or sealed
D. Draft
Draftisthepressuredifferenceneededtoventanappli-
ance successfully. When an appliance is drafting suc-
cessfully,allcombustionbyproductsareexitingthehome
through the chimney.
Installthroughthewarmairspaceenclosedbythebuild-
ingenvelope.Thishelpstoproducemoredraft,especially
duringlightinganddie-downofthere.
Considerationsforsuccessfuldraftinclude:
• Preventingnegativepressure
• Locationofapplianceandchimney
WARNING
Risk of Asphyxiation!
Negativepressurecancausespillageofcombustion
fumes and soot.
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibilityfortheimproperperformanceofthechimney
systemcausedby:
• Inadequatedraftduetoenvironmentalconditions
• Downdrafts
• Tightsealingconstructionofthestructure
• Mechanicalexhaustingdevices
