Introduction

TheentirefamilyofUnitedStatesStoveCompanythanksyouforpurchasingyournewpelletburningroomheater.
AtU.S.Stove,webuildallofourproductswithahands‐onapproachtodetailandquality.Ouroldworldteamof
Craftsmentakegreatprideintheirsuperiorworkmanshiptoensureyouhaveyearsoftroublefreeuseofyour
pelletheater.

U.S.StovePelletBurningRoomHeatershavebeentestedandlistedforinstallationinresidential,mobilehome
andalcoveinstallations.U.S.StovePelletBurningRoomHeatersareavailableinfreestandingpedestaland
fireplaceinsertversions.

U.S.StovePelletBurningRoomHeatershavebeencertifiedto:

ASTME1509‐04,ULC/ORD‐C1482‐M90,ULC‐S627‐00,&ULC‐S628‐00

TheperformanceofyourPelletStoveRoomHeatercanbeaffectedbythetypeofpelletfuelyouchoosetoburnin
it.Itisimportanttouseonlypelletfuelthatisdryandfreefromdirtorotherimpurities.ThePelletFuelIndustry
hasestablishedstandardsforwoodpelletmanufacturers.WerecommendthatpelletfuelusedinallU.S.Stove
PelletBurningRoomHeatersmeetorexceedthefollowingspecifications:

Fines(fineparticles):Maximumthrougha1/8"screen

MoistureContent:8%Maximum
HeatContent:Minimum8,200btu’sperhour

Itisimportanttonotethattheashcontentofthefuelandfrequencyofoperationwilldeterminethefrequencyof
whichyouwillberequiredtocleanyourPelletStove.Ahighashfuelmayresultindailycleaning,whilealowash
contentfuelmayresultinlessfrequentcleaning.

OccasionallyimpuritiesinthefuelwillcauseahardmassbuildupintheburnpotofyourPelletStove.Impurities
suchassilicacanvirtuallyformlittleglassballswhensubjectedtothehighheatgeneratedintheburnpot.When
allowedtocollect,ahardbassbuildupmayblockairflowthroughtheburnpot,whichwillsignificantlyaffectthe
performanceandefficiencyofyourPelletStove.Itisagoodideatochecktheburnpotforanyhardmassbuildup
orotherblockageonadailybasis,andifnecessarylettheburnpotcoolandthencleantheburnpot.

U.S.StoveCompanyrealizesthatitcannotcontrolthequalityofpelletfuelyouchoosetouseinyourPellet
heater;U.S.Stoveassumesnoresponsibilityforthatchoice.

CAUTION:BESURETOSTOREPELLETFUELAMINIMUMOF3'(914.5MM)AWAYFROMTHEPELLETHEATER.


Besuretoreadtheentireowner’smanualpriortoinstallingandoperatingthisPelletheater.Failuretofollow
theseinstructionscouldresultinfire,propertydamage,bodilyinjuryorevenDeath.
Thisstove’sexhaustsystemworkswithnegativecombustionchamberpressureandaslightpositivechimney
pressure,itisextremelyimportanttoensurethattheexhaustsystembesealedandairtight.Theashpanand
viewingdoormustbesecurelyfastenedinorderfortheunittobeairtight.ThisPelletheaterwillnotoperateusing
naturaldraftorwithoutapowersourcefortheblowers.
Theuseofgratesorothermethodsofsupportingthefuelisnotpermitted.
ThisPelletheaterisdesignedtoburnpelletwoodfuelonly.Donotuseanyothertypeoffuel;doingsowillvoid
anywarrantiesstatedinthismanual.
THEUSEOFSOLIDWOODFUELISPROHIBTEDBYLAW.
ThisPelletheaterisdesignedforresidentialinstallationaccordingtocurrentnationalandlocalbuildingcodes.Itis
alsoapprovedasamobilehomeheaterwhichisdesignedforconnectiontoanoutsidecombustionairsource.
WheninstallingaPelletStoveinamobilehome,itmustbeelectricallygroundedtothesteelchassisofthehome
andboltedtothefloor.Makesurethatstructuralintegrityofthehomeismaintained.
Makesurethatstructuralintegrityofthehomeismaintainedwhenpassingventpipesthroughwalls,ceilingsand
roofs
Itisrecommendedthattheexhaustventbecleanedbi‐annuallyoraftereverytwotonsofpellets.
Sootorcreosotemayaccumulatewhenthepelletheaterisoperatedunderincorrectconditions,suchasan
extremelyrichburn(blacktippedlazyorangeflames).Donotoperatethestoveiftheflamebecomesdarkorsooty
oriftheburnpotoverfillswithpellets.Turnthestoveoffandcallyourdealer.
Thegroundedelectricalcordmustbeconnectedtoastandard120volt,60hertzelectricaloutlet.Ensurethatthe
electricalcordisnottrappedundertheapplianceandthatitisclearofanyhotsurfacesorsharpedges.
Theashpanandviewingdoormustbelockedsecurelyforproperandsafeoperation.
DONOTPLACEUNBURNEDORNEWPELLETFUELINTHEASHPAN.Afireintheashpanmayoccur.
Donotoperateyourpelletheaterifyousmellsmokecomingfromit.Turnitoff,monitoritandcallyourdealer.
RepairandservicingofyourU.S.StovePelletBurningRoomHeatermayonlybedonebyaqualifiedtechnician.
Disconnectthepowercordbeforeperforminganymaintenanceorrepair.
NOTE:TurningthePelletStoveRoomHeaterto"off"doesnotdisconnectpowerfromtheunit.
ThePelletStoveRoomHeaterwillnotoperateduringapoweroutage,ifapoweroutageortrippedcircuitoccurs,
checkforsmokespillageandopenwindowsordoorstoventilateasnecessary.

THERMOSTATINSTALLATION

Optionalthermostatsareavailableforusewithyourpelletstove.Athermostatcanhelpyoumaintainaconstant
roomtemperature.Thethermostatoptionwillrequiretheinstallationofamillivolttypethermostat.

NOTE:Yourthermostatshouldbeinstalledbyanauthorizeddealerorserviceperson.

InstallationofRemoteThermostat:
DisconnectPelletStoveRoomHeaterunitfrompowersupply.
Openrightsidepaneltogainaccesstorearofcontrolpanel.
Stripinsulationfromthermostatwiresandconnecttothescrewterminalontherearofthecontrolpanel(see
Figure4).

Ifyouhaveinstalledaremotethermostatforyourpelletstoveandwishtohavetheheatercontrolledbythat
thermostat,depresstheMODEbuttontoengageT‐STATmode.Thethermostatwillcontroltheheatoutputofthe
heateralternatingbetweenthelowestheatlevelandthehighestheatlevelthatyouhavepre‐selected.

TheT‐STATmodeprovidesthemostevenheatoutput,forbettercomfort,andtoextendthelifeofthepelletfuel
ignitionsystem.Additionally,theconstantflameservesasawarningforpeopleandpetstokeepawayfromthe
