INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your investment in quality. We have
worked to ensure that this pellet stove meets the highest standards
for usability and durability. With proper care, your stove will provide
many years of dependable service. Please read entire manual before
installation and use.
BURNING PELLET FUEL
Ashes need to be removed from the stove periodically.
See Normal Care &Maintenance section for cleaning procedure.
Due to the nature of pellet fuels, this stove will require attention
periodically. Regular cleaning is an important part of burning pellet
fuel.
PELLETS
•This pellet stove is designed and approved to burn
wood pellets, that comply with pellet fuels industry standards.
Minimum of 40 lbs. density per cubic feet, 1/4 to 5/16 in diameter,
with a maximum length of 1-1/2, and less than 1% ash.
•Theperformance of your pellet stove is greatly
affected by the type and quality of wood pellets. As the heat
output of various quality wood pellets differ, so will the performance
and heat output of the pellet stove.
•Wood pellets are generally produced out of wood
waste such as sawdust and shavings. The raw material is dried,
mechanically fractioned to size and extruded into pellets under high
pressure. Wood pellets need to be protected from direct exposure
to water. Water from sources such as condensation and
humidity causes pellets to expand and break down
into unusable fuel. Keep fuel dry.
•It is important to select and use only pellets that are
dry and free from dirt and debris. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the
operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The
Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) has established standards for wood pellet
manufacturers. Only use pellets that meet or exceed PFI standards
for premium fuels.
CLINKERS
•Impurities, such as silica (clinkers), will need to be
regularly cleaned and removed from the pellet stove. Clinkers
will form a hard mass and block airflow through the pot liner. High
quality fuels will result in fewer clinkers
WARNING
IF THE ELECTRICAL POWER FAILS ANY TIME
WHEN THE STOVE IS HOT, KEEP ALL STOVE
DOORS CLOSED. THE AUTOMATIC SAFETY
FEATURES MUST NOT BE BYPASSED.
CAUTION
BURNING WOOD PELLETS ACCORDING TO
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL ASSURE LONGER STOVE
LIFE AND LESS FUEL RELATED PROBLEMS.
THE USE OF GRATES OR OTHER METHODS
OF SUPPORTING THE FUEL IN THIS STOVE IS
PROHIBITED AND WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES
AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES
POWER OUTAGE
During a power outage, the stove will shut down
safely. Do not open the main door or ash door. During
a power failure the exhaust fan will not run. Keeping the doors
sealed will allow the exhaust vent to draft out naturally.
When the power is restored, the stove will not restart. If the
exhaust temperature is still 120 degrees Fahrenheit when power is
restored, the exhaust and convection fans will continue to run until
the stove cools. See lighting instructions to restart stove.
OVERHEATING
Over Fire Protection:
If the stove is being
over fired or burning too hot, the high limit switches
will automatically shut down the stove to avoid damage to
components. If the temperature on the hopper reaches 200
degree Fahrenheit, the auger will automatically stop and the stove
will shut down. The exhaust fan will continue to run until the proof
of fire switch cools. Allow stove to cool before attempting to
re-ignite. See lighting instructions

VENTING
Before venting, consult vent manufacturer
’
s
specifications and recommendations for all venting
installations.
The following installation guidelines must be followed
to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of
this stove and to local building codes.
TYPE OF VENT
The pellet ventingpipe (also known as L vent) is
constructed of two layers with air space between
the layers. This air space acts as an insulator and
reduces outside surface temperature of pipe to allow
a clearance to combustibles. A cap must be used at
the termination of type L vent chimneys. For
elevations above 2,500 feet above sea level, a 4”L
is required.
PELLET VENT INSTALLATION
Vent termination
MUST
exhaust above air inlet
elevation. It is recommended to install at least three feet
(3’) of vertical pellet vent pipe. This vertical pipe will create some
natural draft to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during
appliance shutdown and will keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or
hazard from exposure to high temperatures.
The installation must include a clean out tee to enable
collection of fly ash and to permit periodic cleaning of
the exhaust system. Total length of horizontal vent
must not exceed 10 feet. The maximum recommended vertical
venting height is 18 feet.
All joints for pellet vent are required to be
fastened with at least three screws and all
pellet vent connections (including adapters,
elbows, etc.) should be sealed airtight
by injecting 500 F. RTV silicone into the
gap between sections.
The area where the vent pipe goes
through to the exterior of the home must be
sealed with silicone or other means to maintain the
vapor barrier between the exterior and the interior of
the home.

OUTSIDE AIR CONNECTION
Connection from the intake pipe (2
”
diameter pipe in
rear of stove) to the outside of the house is REQUIRED for
mobile home installation. It is recommended in tightly
sealed homes with exhaust fans such as kitchen or bathroom
fans. This will eliminate poor performance due to negative
pressure.
Only noncombustible pipe 2
”
(or greater) in diameter is
approved to use for outside air connections (straight or
flexible). PVC pipe is NOT approved and should
NEVER be connected to the stove.
If the air inlet is connectedto the outside, it MUST be
terminated with a vertical 90
°
bend (down) or with a wind
hood. Failure to do so could result in a burn back during
high winds blowing directly up the air inlet during a
simultaneous power failure.
Blockage, excessive length, or extra bends in the air intake
pipe will starve the stove of
MOBILE HOME
Installation in a mobile home should be in accordance with
the manufactured home and safety standard (HUD), CFR
3280, Part 24. This stove must be vented to the outside. In
addition to the standard installation instructions, the following
requirements are mandatory for installation in a mobile
home:
1.The stove must be permanently attached to the floor.
2. Stove must have an outside air source.
3. Stove must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of
the mobile home.
4. All vertical chimney vents must have wall supports.
5. All exhaust systems must have a spark arrestor.
6. Check with local building officials to see if other codes may
apply.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR
DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
CAUTION
THE OPERATION OF EXHAUST FANS SUCH
AS BATHROOM FANS, ATTIC FANS, ETC. MIGHT STARVE
THE PELLET STOVE OF COMBUSTIBLE AIR CREATING A
NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN THE ROOM. PROVIDE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION IN THE ROOM ACCOMPANYING
THE PELLET STOVE. IF NOT, THE PRESSURE SWITCH
MAY SHUT OFF OPERATION OF THE PELLET STOVE.
THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND
CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED
UNDERSTANDING YOUR STOVE
Your Stove utilizes a vertical auger fuel feed system
that is operated by a microprocessor controlled digital circuit
board. The digital circuit board allows the vertical auger fuel
system to run in a timer based, non-continuous cycle; this cycling
allows the auger to run for a predetermined amount of time. The
auger pushes pellets up a chute located in the hopper. The
pellets will then turn and fall through another chute into the burn
pot. Your stove is equipped with an automatic ignition system
that should ignite the fuel within 3-5 minutes of pressing the On/O
button. As pellets fill the burnpot and ignite, outside air is drawn
across the fuel and heated during the combustion process which is
then pulled across the heat exchanger by the exhaust motor or the
draft fan. As the stove reaches operating temperature, room air
is then circulated around the heat exchanger by a room air blower,
distributing warm air into the room.
The amount of heat that is produced by the stove is
proportional to the rate of fuel that is burned. Because a
forced draft pressure is required for the combustion
process inside your stove, it is extremely important that the
exhaust system be properly installed and maintained. Also, the
doors must remain closed while in operations and the seals on the
doors must be properly maintained
