Pipe
WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM.
CAUTION! THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF
MUST BE MAINTAINED.
WHEN INSTALLED IN A MOBILE HOME, THE STOVE
MUST BE GROUNDED DIRECTLY TO THE STEEL
CHASSIS AND BOLTED TO THE FLOOR.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, mobile home installations must meet the
following requirements:
• This stove must be securely fastened to the oor of
the mobile home using two 1/4” lag bolts that are long
enough to go through both a hearth pad, if used, and the
oor of the home.
• The heater must be electrically grounded to the steel
chassis of the mobile home with 8 GA copper wire using
a serrated or star washer to penetrate paint or protective
coating to ensure grounding.
• Vent must be 3 or 4-inch “PL” Vent and must extend a
minimum or 36” (914 mm) above the roof line of the
mobile home and must be installed using a certied
ceiling re stop and rain cap.
• When moving your mobile home, all exterior venting must
be removed while the mobile home is being relocated.
After relocation, all venting must be reinstalled and
securely fastened.
• Outside Air is mandatory for mobile home installation.
See Outside Air Supply section and your dealer for
purchasing.
• Check with your local building ocials as other codes
may apply.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
• DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT
SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR STOVE.
• DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
The following installation guidelines must be followed
to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of this
stove and to local building codes. Do not use makeshift
methods or compromise in the installation.
IMPORTANT:
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A NEGATIVE DRAFT
SYSTEM THAT PULLS AIR THROUGH THE BURN POT
AND PUSHES THE EXHAUST OUT OF THE DWELLING.
IF THIS UNIT IS CONNECTED TO A FLUE SYSTEM
OTHER THAN THE WAY EXPLAINED IN THIS MANUAL,
IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
MAXIMUM VENTING DISTANCE
Installation MUST include at least 3-feet of vertical pipe
outside the home. This will create some natural draft to
reduce the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance
shutdown and keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or
hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.
The maximum recommend vertical venting height is 12-
feet for 3-inch type “PL” vent. Total length of horizontal vent
must not exceed 4-feet. This could cause back pressure.
INSTALLATION

© 2022 United States Stove Company
7
Use no more than 180 degrees of elbows (two 90-degree
elbows, or two 45-degree and one 90-degree elbow, etc.)
to maintain adequate draft.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft
may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance.
Inadequate draft may cause backpung into the room and
‘plugging’ of the chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the
appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance
and chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or
excessive temperature indicates excessive draft. Take into
account the chimney’s location to ensure it is not too close
to neighbours or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or
nuisance conditions.
PELLET VENT TYPE
A certied 3-inch or 4-inch type “PL” pellet vent exhaust
system must be used for installation and attached to the
pipe connector provided on the back of the stove (use a
3-inch to 4-inch adapter for 4-inch pipe). The connection
at the back of the stove must be sealed using Hi-Temp
RTV. Use a 4-inch vent if the vent height is over 12-feet or
if the installation is over 2,500 feet above sea level. We
recommend the use of Simpson Dura-Vent® or Metal-
Fab® pipe (if you use other pipes, consult your local
building codes and/or building inspectors). Do not use
Type-B Gas Vent pipe or galvanized pipe with this unit. The
pellet vent pipe is designed to disassemble for cleaning
and should be checked several times during the burning
season. The pellet vent pipe is not furnished with the unit
and must be purchased separately.
PELLET VENT INSTALLATION
The installation must include a clean-out tee to enable
collection of y ash and to permit periodic cleaning of the
exhaust system. 90-degree elbows accumulate y ash
and soot thereby reducing exhaust ow and performance
of the stove. Each elbow or tee reduces draft potential by
30% to 50%. All joints in the vent system must be fastened
by at least 3 screws, and all joints must be sealed with Hi-
Temp RTV silicone sealant to be airtight. The area where
the vent pipe penetrates 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. Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if
touched by children. Noncombustible shielding or guards
may be required.
PELLET VENT TERMINATION
Do not terminate the vent in an enclosed or semi-enclosed
area, such as; carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway, or any other location
that can build up a concentration of fumes. Termination in
one of these areas can also lead to unpredictable pressure
situations with the appliance, and could result in improper
performance and/or malfunction. The termination
must exhaust above the outside air inlet elevation. The
termination must not be located where it will become
plugged by snow or other materials. Do not terminate the
venting into an existing steel or masonry chimney.
VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES
A. Minimum 4-foot (1.22m) clearance below or beside
any door or window that opens.
B. Minimum 1-foot (0.3m) clearance above any door or
window that opens.
C. Minimum 3-foot (0.91m) clearance from any adjacent
building.
D. Minimum 7-foot (2.13m) clearance from any grade
when adjacent to public walkways.
E. Minimum 2-foot (0.61m) clearance above any grass,
plants, or other combustible materials.
F. Minimum 3-foot (0.91m) clearance from an forced air

intake of any appliance.
G. Minimum 2-foot (0.61m) clearance below eves or
overhang.
H. Minimum 1-foot (0.3m) clearance horizontally from
combustible wall.
I. Must be a minimum of 3 foot (0.91m) above the roof
and 2 foot (0.61m) above the highest point or the roof
within 10 feet (3.05m).
Determining where to install your new pellet stove heater.
To get the most ecient use of re-circulated heat, you
should consider a room that is centrally located within
your home. Choose a room that is large and open. It is
Extremely Important to maintain proper clearances from
any combustible surfaces or materials in the room where
your heater will be located. You can nd proper clearance
measurements in this manual and on the rating label of
your pellet stove. The pellet stove can be vented through an
exterior wall or into an existing masonry or metal chimney
if “PL” vent pipe is used throughout existing chimney.
Venting can pass through the ceiling and roof if approved
pipe is used. Where passage through a wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation must
conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
WARNING:
• DO NOT OBTAIN COMBUSTION AIR FROM THE
ATTIC, GARAGE OR ANY OTHER UNVENTILATED
AREA. YOU MAY OBTAIN COMBUSTION AIR FROM
A VENTILATED CRAWL SPACE.
• DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER HEATER, FURNACE OR
APPLIANCE.
• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
• ONLY USE APPROVED MATERIAL FOR
INSTALLATION, FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN
DEATH.
This appliance is certied for use with listed 3 inch or 4 inch
“PL” pellet venting products. The use of other components
other than stated herein could cause bodily harm, heater
damage, and void your warranty.
HORIZONTAL EXHAUST VENT
INSTALLATION
1. Locate your pellet stove in a location which meets the
requirements of this manual, but in an area where it
does not interfere with the house framing, wiring, etc.
2. Install a non-combustible hearth pad underneath the
pellet stove. This pad should extend at least 6” (152
mm) in front of the unit.
3. Place the pellet stove approximately 15” (381 mm)
away from the interior wall.
4. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe of your unit. This
point should then be extended to the interior wall of
your house. Once you have located the center point,
on the interior wall, cut a 7” (175 mm) diameter hole
through the wall.
5. The next step is to install the wall thimble, refer to the
instructions which come with the wall thimble for this
step.
6. Install the appropriate length of exhaust vent pipe
into the wall thimble. See steps 11 and 12 when
determining the correct length of exhaust vent to use.
7. Outside Fresh Air is Mandatory when installing
this pellet stove room heater in airtight homes and
mobile homes. Be sure that the outside air vent
has an approved cap on it to prevent rodents from
entering. Be sure to install in location that won’t
become blocked with snow, etc.
8. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust outlet of
your pellet stove.
9. Secure all vent joint connections with 3 screws.
Seal the exhaust vent joint connections with high
temperature silicone sealant.
10. Push the unit straight back to the interior wall,
being sure to maintain the minimum clearances to
combustibles 2” (51 mm) to the back of the unit. Seal
the annular space of the wall thimble and around the
vent pipe with high temperature silicone sealant.
11. The exhaust vent pipe must extend at least 12” (300
mm) out past the exterior wall. Seal the annular space
of the wall thimble and around the vent pipe with high
temperature silicone sealant.
12. Install an approved horizontal termination cap or if
necessary install a 90° elbow and appropriate length
of vertical venting. An approved vertical vent cap is
recommended.

THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATION
(RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION)
TYPICAL THROUGH THE
WALL INSTALLATION
Canadian installations must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter
to the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter
is at least 18” (457 mm) above ground level, a straight
section of pellet vent pipe can be used through the wall.
Your heater dealer should be able to provide you with a
kit that will handle most of this installation, which will
include a wall thimble that will allow the proper clearance
through a combustible wall. Once outside the structure,
a 3” (76 mm) clearance should be maintained from the
outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed on the
pipe with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At this
point, a 3ft (0.91m) (minimum) section of pipe should be
added with a horizontal cap, which would complete the
installation. A support bracket should be placed just below
the termination cap or one every 4ft (1.22m) to make the
system more stable. If you live in an area that has heavy
snowfall, it is recommended that the installation be taller
than 3ft (0.91m) to get above the snowdrift line. This same
installation can be used if your heater is below ground level
by simply adding the clean-out section and vertical pipe
inside until ground level is reached. With this installation
you have to be aware of the snowdrift line, dead grass, and
leaves. We recommend a 3ft (0.91m) minimum vertical
rise on the inside or outside of the house. The “through
the wall” installation is the least expensive and simplest
installation. Never terminate the end vent under a deck, in
an alcove, under a window, or between two windows. We
recommend Simpson Dura-Vent® or Metal-Fab® kits.
THROUGH THE ROOF/CEILING
INSTALLATION
• When venting the heater through the ceiling, the pipe
is connected the same as through the wall, except the
clean-out tee is always on the inside of the house, and
a 3” (76 mm) adapter is added before the clean-out tee.
• You must use the proper ceiling support anges and
roof ashing (supplied by the pipe manufacturer; follow
the pipe manufacturer’s directions). It is important to
note that if your vertical run of pipe is more than 12ft
(3.7m), the pellet vent pipe size should be increased to
4” (102 mm) in diameter.
• Do not exceed more than 4ft (1.22m) of pipe on a
horizontal run and use as few elbows as possible. If an
offset is required, it is better to install 45-degree elbows
rather than 90-degree elbows.

HOW YOUR STOVE WORKS
Your pellet stove utilizes a inclined auger fuel feed
system that is operated by a microprocessor controlled
digital circuit board. The digital circuit board allows the
inclined auger fuel feed system to run in a timer-based,
non-continuous cycle; this cycling allows the auger to
run for a predetermined period of seconds. The auger
pushes pellets up a chute located at the front/bottom of
the hopper which in turn falls through another chute into
the burnpot. Your stove is equipped with an automatic
ignition system that should ignite the fuel within 5-10
minutes from pressing the ON button. As pellets enter the
burn pot and ignite, outside air is drawn across the fuel
and heated during the combustion process which is then
pulled through the heat exchanger by the exhaust motor
or draft fan. As the stove heats up, room air is circulated
around the heat exchanger by means of a room air blower,
distributing warm air into the room.
The amount of heat produced by the stove is proportional
to the rate of the fuel that is burned, and this rate is
controlled by the “HEAT RANGE” setting. In order to
maintain combustion of the fuel at a desired rate, the air
provided to the burn chamber by the exhaust or draft fan
must be maintained precisely. Too little air will result in a
ame that is non-energetic or lazy. If the fuel continues
to ow with too little air for long enough, the burn pot
will ll with too much fuel and the re will smother out.
To much air will result in a ame that is overactive or
aggressive. The ame in this situation is typically very blue
at the bottom and resembles a blow torch. If this situation
continues, the fuel in the burn pot will be consumed and
the re will go out. Matching the amount of air required for
proper combustion to the fuel rate is the primary objective
in effectively burning pellets of various brands and
qualities in your stove. The air to fuel ratio can be adjusted
to allow almost any fuel quality to burn effectively by
following the procedures detailed in the remainder of this
manual. 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. And, that when operating your stove, you
make sure that the viewing door is properly sealed.
PANEL/REMOTE CONTROLS
The operation of this appliance can be controlled from
the panel located on the side of the stove and/or by the
remote control. The control functions are as follows:
A. On/Off Switch (“Power” Button)
• When pushed, the stove will automatically ignite. No
other re starter is necessary. The igniter will stay on
for at least 10 and up to 12 minutes, depending on
when Proof of Fire is reached. The re should start in
approximately 5 minutes.
• After pushing “POWER”, the auger motor is on for 3.5
minutes, off for 1 minute. During the remainder of the
start-up period, the auger motor operates on the heat
range “1” setting.
• During start up the heat level advance (Up and Down keys)
will change the heat range indicator level accordingly,
but there is no change in the stoves operating conditions
until start-up is completed.

THERMOSTAT HOOK-UP
1. Put female terminals on the lead wires to
your low voltage thermostat.
2. Plug one thermostat lead onto each of the
terminal posts on the circuit board.
The Jumper Must
Be Removed First
Use 18 gauge, 2
conductor wire
IMPORTANT NOTE: The purpose of the T’Stat is
to make the stove cycle between the
preselected desired heat range setting (”1” to
“5”) and the minimum heat range setting of “1”.
The T’Stat will not turn the stove on and off.
When the desired room temperature has been
reached and the T’Stat no longer requires heat
it will reduce to a minimum heat range setting of
“1”. The unit will not turn completely off. Once
the room temperature has dropped and the
T’Stat requires more heat, the unit will begin to
feed pellets at the preselected heat setting
ranging from “1” to “5”.

THE FIRE - NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-
TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START
OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS STOVE. KEEP
ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE
WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade
pellets. DO NOT BURN:
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or
asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials does
not prohibit the use of re starters made from paper,
cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances
for the purpose of starting a re in an affected wood
heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic
fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
PROPER FUEL
ATTENTION:
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF
PELLETIZED FUEL THAT MEET OR EXCEED THE
STANDARD SET BY THE PELLET FUEL INSTITUTE
(PFI).
Your pellet stove is designed to burn premium hardwood
pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI)
standard (minimum of 40 lbs density per cubic ft, 1/4” to
5/16” diameter, length no greater than 1.5”, not less than
8,200 BTU/lb, moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1%
by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million). Pellets
that are soft, contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust,
have been, or are wet, will result in reduced performance.
Store your pellets in a dry place. DO NOT store the fuel
within the installation clearances of the unit or within the
space required for refuelling and ash removal. Doing so
could result in a house re. Do not over re or use volatile
fuels or combustibles, doing so may cause a personal and
property damage hazards.
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED
WOOD FUEL ONLY ! Factory-approved pellets are those
1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or
thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger ights, which
prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other
than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building
codes for which the stove has been approved and will void
all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of
the pellet fuel into the re at a carefully prescribed rate. Any
additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase heat
output but may seriously impair the stoves performance
by generating considerable smoke. Do not burn wet
pellets. The stove’s performance depends heavily on the
quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet brands that display
these characteristics:
• Excess Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed
pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or sand.
Pellets can be screened before being placed in hopper
to remove most nes.
• Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to
hold the together, or “bind” them.
• High ash content – Poor quality pellets will often create
smoke and dirty glass. They will create a need for more
frequent maintenance. You will have to empty the burn
pot plus vacuum the entire system more often. Poor
quality pellets could damage the auger. We cannot
accept responsibility for damage due to poor quality
pellet.
CAUTION:
• KEEP FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE HOPPER.
• THE MOVING PARTS OF THIS STOVE ARE
PROPELLED BY HIGH TORQUE ELECTRIC MOTORS.
KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM THE
AUGER WHILE THE STOVE IS PLUGGED INTO AN
ELECTRICAL OUTLET. THESE MOVING PARTS MAY
BEGIN TO MOVE AT ANY TIME WHILE THE STOVE
IS PLUGGED IN.

PRE-START-UP CHECK
Remove burn pot, making sure it is clean and none of the
air holes are plugged. Clean the rebox, and then reinstall
burn pot. Clean door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or
paper towel is usually sucient). Never use abrasive
cleaners on the glass or door. Check fuel in the hopper,
and rell if necessary.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel.
Use only the burn pot supplied with this heater. Hopper lid
must be closed in order for the unit to feed pellets. During
the start-up period:
• Make sure the burn pot is free of pellets.
• DO NOT open the viewing door.
• DO NOT add pellets to the burn pot by hand.
NOTE: During the rst few res, your stove will emit an odor
as the high-temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned
to the metal. Maintaining smaller res will minimize this.
Avoid placing items on the stovetop during this period
because the paint could be affected. Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design specications
can result in permanent damage to the heater.
OPTIMAL OPERATION
This pellet stove has been certied by the US EPA to
meet strict 2020 guidelines. To Insure this unit produces
the optimal minimal emissions, it is critical to follow
the following guidelines. To achieve a “high burn” your
stove should be set on setting 5 with the damper open.
To achieve a “medium burn” your stove should be set on
setting 3 with the damper 50% open. To achieve a “low
burn” your stove should be set on setting 1with the damper
closed. If the door is opened while the stove is in operation
it must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut
down. If the stove shuts down push the “On/Off” button to
re-start your stove. The stove will have to fully shut down
and turn off before you will be able to restart the stove.
IGNITOR
1. Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
2. Press the “On/Off” button. Make sure the green light
comes on.
3. Adjust the feed rate to the desired setting by pressing
the “Heat Level Advance” button.
If the re doesn’t start in 12 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait
a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start the procedure
again.
OPENING DOOR
CAUTION:
• DO NOT OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH THE VIEWING
DOOR OPEN. THE AUGER WILL NOT FEED PELLETS
UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES AND A SAFETY
CONCERN MAY ARISE FROM SPARKS OR FUMES
ENTERING THE ROOM.
• THE DOOR MUST BE CLOSED AND SEALED DURING
OPERATION.
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it must
be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut down. If
the stove shuts down push the “On/Off” button to re-start
your stove. The stove will have to fully shut down and turn
off before you will be able to restart the stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come
on until the stove’s heat exchanger warms up. This usually
takes about 10 minutes from start-up.
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The re goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run
until the stove cools. This will take 30 minutes or longer
depending on the heat remaining in the appliance. After
the stove components stop running all lights on the display
will go out and the two digit display will begin ashing “E3”

TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low
burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this
wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
WARNING:
NEVER SHUT DOWN THIS UNIT BY UNPLUGGING IT
FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
Turning your stove off is a matter of pressing the “POWER”
button on the display board. The green light will turn back
to red when the “POWER” button is pushed. The auger
motor will stop, and the blowers will continue to operate
until the internal rebox temperatures have fallen to a
preset level.
1. Your stove is equipped with a high temperature
thermodisc. This unit has a manual reset thermodisc.
This safety switch has two functions.
A. To recognize an overheat situation in the stove and
shut down the fuel feed or auger system.
B. In case of a malfunctioning convection blower, the
high-temperature thermodisc will automatically shut
down the auger, preventing the stove from overheating.
NOTE: On some units, once tripped, like a circuit breaker,
the reset button will have to be pushed before restarting
your stove. On other units the thermodisc has no reset
button and will reset itself once the stove has cooled. The
manufacturer recommends that you call your dealer if this
occurs as this may indicate a more serious problem. A
service call may be required.
2. If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch
will automatically shut down the auger.
NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than 30 seconds
during operation will cause enough pressure change to
activate the air switch, shutting the fuel feed off. The stove
will shut down and show “E2” on the two digit display. The
stove has to fully shut down before restarting.
INTERIOR CHAMBERS
• Burn Pot - Periodically remove and clean the burn pot
and the area inside the burn pot housing. In particular,
it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burn pot to
remove any build up that may prevent air from moving
through the burn pot freely.
• Heat Exchanger - There are two clean out plates that
need to be removed in order to clean the y ash out
of the heat exchanger. Open the door to access the
cleanouts located inside the rebox, one on each side
of the burnpot. The clean outs are secured to the rebox
with (2) 5/16” screws each. Remove the clean outs
and vacuum out any accumulated ash. This should be
done at least once per month or more frequently if large
amounts of ash are noticed while cleaning or if the stove
does not seem to be burning properly.
Over time ash or dust may accumulate on the blades of the
circulation & exhaust fans. The fans should be inspected,
periodically, and if any accumulation is present vacuumed
clean as the ash or dust can impede the fans performance.
It is also possible that creosote may accumulate in the
exhaust fan therefore, this must be brushed clean. The
exhaust fan can be found behind the left side panel (facing
the front of the heater), the circulation fan can be found
behind the right side panel. To access the igniter, remove
the air inlet tube and cover (2 screws). The auger motor is
located in the center rear of the unit. Note: When cleaning,
take care not to damage the fan blades.
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest
using the AV15E AshVac vacuum. The AV15E AshVac is
designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner
(i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTENANCE THE CLEAN
OUTS WILL RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS
STOVE.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS
INDICATED CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE,
SAFETY HAZARDS, FIRE, AND EVEN DEATH.
• NEVER PERFORM ANY INSPECTIONS, CLEANING,
OR MAINTENANCE ON A HOT STOVE.
• DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE! NOTE:
TURNING THE ON/OFF SWITCHTO ”OFF” DOES NOT
DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS OF THE STOVE.
• DO NOT OPERATE STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS,
LEAKAGE OF FLUE GAS MAY RESULT.
• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES
THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEATER.
CREOSOTE FORMATION, INSPECTION, &
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED
MONTHLY DURING THE BURNING SEASON FOR ANY
BUILD-UP OF SOOT OR CREOSOTE.
When any wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney ue or a newly started re or
from a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot re, which may damage the
chimney or even destroy the house. Despite their high
eciency, pellet stoves can accumulate creosote under
certain conditions. The chimney connector and chimney
should be inspected by a qualied person annually or per
ton of pellets to determine if a creosote or y ash build-up
has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re. Inspect the
system at the stove connection and at the chimney top.
Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so
it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as
from the bottom. The creosote should be removed with a
brush specically designed for the type of chimney in use.
A qualied chimney sweep can perform this service. It is
also recommended that before each heating season the
entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and, if
necessary, repaired. To clean the chimney, disconnect the
vent from the stove.
FLY ASH
This accumulates in the horizontal portion of an exhaust
run. Though non-combustible, it may impede the normal
exhaust ow. It should therefore be periodically removed.
ASH REMOVAL & DISPOSAL
CAUTION:
ALLOW THE STOVE TO COOL BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING. ASHES MUST BE
DISPOSED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT
FITTING LID. THE CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHES
SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NON-COMBUSTIBLE
SURFACE OR ON THE GROUND, WELL AWAY FROM
ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL
DISPOSAL.
Remove the ashes periodically to avoid unnecessary ash
build up. Remove ashes when unit has cooled. Ashes
should be placed in a metal container with a tight tting
lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal. If
the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all embers have been thoroughly cooled.
The container shall not be used for other trash or waste
disposal. If combined with combustible substances, ashes
and embers may ignite.
SMOKE & CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon
monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas
when exposed to elevated concentrations for extended
periods of time. While the modern combustion systems
in heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted
out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or
conned areas can be dangerous. Make sure you stove
gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order
and sealing properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is
recommended that you use both smoke and CO monitors
in areas having the potential to generate CO.
CHECK & CLEAN THE HOPPER
Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any
sawdust (nes) that is building up in the feed system or
pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface. Clean as
needed.

MAINTENANCE
DOOR & GLASS GASKETS
Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets
periodically. The main door may need to be removed to
have frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets replaced
by your authorized dealer. This unit’s door uses a 3/4”
diameter rope gasket.
BLOWER MOTORS
Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust and
distribution blowers annually. Remove the exhaust blower
from the exhaust duct and clean out the internal fan blades
as part of your fall start-up. If you have indoor pets your
power motors should be inspected monthly to make sure
they are free of animal hair build up. Animal hair build up
in blowers can result in poor performance or unforeseen
safety hazards.
PAINTED SURFACES
Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If
scratches appear, or you wish to renew your paint, contact
your authorized dealer to obtain a can of suitable high-
temperature paint.
GLASS
We recommend using a high-quality glass cleaner. Should
a buildup of creosote or carbon accumulate, you may wish
to use 000 steel wool and water to clean the glass. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT perform the cleaning
while the glass is HOT. Do not attempt to operate the unit
with broken glass. Replacement glass may be purchased
from your U.S. Stove dealer. If the glass is broken, follow
these removal procedures:
1. Once the heater has cooled, remove the door from the
heater.
2. Remove the rope gasket from the door followed by the
nuts holding the glass retainer in place.
3. While wearing gloves, carefully remove any loose
pieces of glass from the door frame.
4. Replace the glass and gasket, making sure the gasket
runs the full perimeter of the glass edge.
5. Re-install the retainer and eight nuts and rope gasket
using high-temperature silicone to adhere the gasket
to the door.
6. Never use substitute materials for the glass.
DO NOT abuse the door glass by striking, slamming, or
similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass
removed, cracked, or broken.
FALL START UP
Prior to starting the rst re of the heating season, check
the outside area around the exhaust and air intake systems
for obstructions. Clean and remove any y ash from the
exhaust venting system. Clean any screens on the exhaust
system and on the outside air intake pipe. Turn all of the
controls on and make sure that they are working properly.
This is also a good time to give the entire stove a good
cleaning throughout.
SPRING SHUTDOWN
After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining
pellets from the hopper and the auger feed system. Scoop
out the pellets and then run the auger until the hopper
is empty and pellets stop owing (this can be done by
pressing the “ON” button with the viewing door open).
Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burn pot,
and rebox. It may be desirable to spray the inside of the
cleaned hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if your stove
is in a high humidity area. The exhaust system should be
thoroughly cleaned.
