A. Fire Safety
Clinkers
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as sand
will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called a clinker when
heated in the firepot.
• Install at least one smoke detector and CO monitor on each
floor of your home.
Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. That
is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others.
• Locate detectors away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas.
Moisture
• Follow the detector’s manufacturer’s placement and
installation instructions and maintain regularly.
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content
takes heat from the fuel and tends to cool the appliance,
robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet fuel can clog the
feed system.
• Conveniently locate a fire extinguisher to contend with small
fires.
Size
•
In the event of a hopper fire:
•
Pellets are either 6 or 8mm in diameter
•
•
Evacute the house immediately.
Notify fire department.
• Length should be no more that 38mm
• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same
manufacturer
• Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate) may
need adjusting occasionally. See page 10 for instructions.
B. Combustible/Non-Combustible Materials
•
Combustible Material
Performance
Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fibers, plastics, or any material capable
of igniting and burning, whether flame-proofed or not,
plastered or unplastered.
• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied
more frequently
• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly
• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.
• Burning pellets longer than 38mm can cause an inconsistent
fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.
•
•
Non-combustible Material
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, slate,
glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
CAUTION! Tested and approved for wood pellets. Burning
of any other type of fuel voids your warranty.
Firestop Non-combustible Sealant Material
Sealants which will not ignite and burn.
Storage
C. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage
• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag until
using to prevent moisture absorption.
Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. We recommend that
you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever possible. However,
we do recommend trying various brands before purchasing
multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.
• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance
requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaning and maintenance.
Fuel Material
•
•
Made from sawdust or wood by-products
Depending on the source material it may have a high or
low ash content.
Higher Ash Content Material
•
•
•
Hardwoods with a high mineral content
Fuel that contains bark
Standard grade pellets and high ash pellets
Lower Ash Content Material
•
•
•
Softwoods
Fuels with low mineral content
Premium grade pellets
CAUTION! Do not burn fuel that contains an additive;
(such as soybean oil).
• May cause hopper fires
• Damage to product may result

D. General Operating Information
E. Before Your First Fire
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and
thermostat installation instructions.
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically
light and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature
and the thermostat is satisfied, the red call light will go off
and the appliance will shut down.
2. Double check that the ash drawer and firebox are empty!
3. Close the front door.
2. Heat Output Controls
IMPORTANT DETAIL: The tip of the thermocouple must
be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple
cover or missed ignitions can occur.
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch
that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high.
The appliance will turn on and off as the thermostat demands.
When the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance will start
up at the burn rate for which it is set. If the appliance is set
at one of the lower settings, it will run quieter but take longer
to heat up an area than if it were set at a higher burn rate.
Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm enough
to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off.
F. Filling the Hopper with Fuel
1. Open the hopper lid and pull the lid towards you. The lid
can now serve as a shelf to support the bag of fuel.
2. Do not over fill the hopper. The lid must be completely
closed to maintain proper vacuum and for the feed motor
to operate. An error message will appear on the wall
control if the lid is not properly closed.
Heat Output Switch
3. Remove any sawdust or fuel from the lid gasket after
refilling hopper.
4. Do not leave any part of the fuel bag on the appliance
after refilling hopper.
High
Med
Low
5. Store fuel away from the appliance to maintain proper
safe air clearance to combustibles.
G. Starting Your First Fire
Reset
Button
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance. At this time, fill the hopper with pellets, set
the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug the power cord
into nearby outlet.
Figure 9.1
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.
WARNING
3. Locate the heat output control switch mounted on the
back of the appliance in the upper right corner. Figure
9.1. Turn it to the “high” setting by pushing the top of
the control switch in and then adjust the thermostat to its
highest setting. Remove the right side panel and the red
call light located to the left of the control box will be on.
Figure 10.1. This indicates the thermostat is calling for
heat.
Fire Hazard.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids
clear of appliance.
•
•
Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s
vicinity.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL,
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A
FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
•
•
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS
SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button once approximately 2 minutes after start up and
again in 5 minutes. This will fill the feed system and allow
the appliance to begin dropping pellets. The appliance
will continue to run as long as the thermostat is calling
for heat.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OF FLUIDS TO START
THE FIRE.
•
•
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it
is in use.
Combustible materials may ignite.

J. Iginition Cycles
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for approximately
15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the desired room
temperature. Adjust the heat output control switch to the
desired setting.
1. At the beginning of each ignition cycle, it is normal to see
some smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once the
fire starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after your
appliance has been burning for approximately 10 minutes.
This blower transfers heat from your appliance into the
room, and will continue to run after the thermostat has
stopped calling for heat until the appliance has cooled
down.
Red Call Light
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will be
on. Figure 10.1. To restart it, fill the hopper and press the
reset button. See Figure 9.1 on page 9. When you press
the reset button the red call light will go out. Release the
button and the light will come back on. You should see
a fire shortly. If not, follow the instructions on page 9 of
“Starting Your First Fire”.
Figure 10.1
H. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch
set on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends
out of the firepot approximately 102mm. If the fire has tall
flames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy, the feed
rate will need to be reduced. This is done by sliding the fuel
adjustment control rod down, which will reduce the feed. If
the fire is not 102mm tall, slide the fuel adjustment control
rod up to increase the feed. A medium and low setting will
give a shorter flame. The flame will rise and fall somewhat.
This is normal.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Do NOT operate appliance:
•
•
•
With appliance door open.
Firepot floor open.
Cleaning slide plates open.
Do NOT store fuel:
•
Closer than required clearances to com-
bustibles to appliance
I. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
•
Within space required for loading or ash
removal.
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels. However, if the flame height is
too high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate. Wait
until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes before
making your adjustments and allow 15 minutes for feed
adjustment to take effect.
K. Clear Space
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE! Do NOT place combustible
objects in front of the appliance. High temperatures may
ignite clothing, furniture or draperies. Maintain a minimum
clearance of 914mm in front of appliance.
1. Loosen the set screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn during set-up
of appliance. This will allow movement of the feed
adjustment control rod. Do not re-tighten set screw.
2. Loosen the wing nut.
Mantel: Avoid placing candles and other heat-sensitive
objects on mantel or hearth. Heat may damage these
objects.
3. Adjust the feed adjustment control rod upward towards the
"+" symbol to increase the feed rate and flame height or
down towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate
and flame height. Figure 10.2.
NOTICE: Clearances may only be reduced by means ap-
proved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
4. Re-tighten the wing nut.
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE! Keep combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of
appliance.

A. Proper Shutdown Procedure
C. General Maintenance
1. Types of Fuel
CAUTION
Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate
how often you have to clean your firepot.
hock and Smoke Hazard
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content it
may be necessary to clean the firepot more than once a day.
Turn down thermostat, let appliance completely
cool and exhaust blower must be off. Now you
can unplug appliance before servicing.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the firepot. A clinker
is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is
heated to 1093°C and becomes glass-like. See page 16 in
this section for more details on fuels with high ash content.
• Smoke spillage into room can occur if appliance
is not cool before unplugging.
• Risk of shock if appliance not unplugged before
servicing appliance.

2. Cleaning Firepot with Cleaning Rod & Firepot
Clean-Out Tool
4. Cleaning Ash Pan/Drawer
•
Frequency: Every 5 bags or weekly or more fre-
quently depending on ash build-up.
By: Homeowner
•
•
Frequency: Daily or more often as needed
By: Homeowner
•
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool
and the exhaust blower off. If you are just cleaning the
firepot, there is no need to unplug the appliance.
Locate the ash pan/drawer underneath the firepot. Open
the bottom ash door and slide the ash pan straight out.
Empty into a non-combustible container and re-install
ash pan/drawer. See Disposal of Ashes.
b. Pull firepot cleaning rod OUT a couple of times to help
shake debris loose. If rod is hard to pull, it may be
necessary to use your firepot clean-out tool to chip
away material that has built up on the bottom plate of
the firepot and to push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers
may have to be removed from the top of the firepot.
5. Disposal of Ashes
•
•
Frequency: As needed
By: Homeowner
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal.
c. The firepot floor plate must be fully closed when
finished.
WARNING
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly
cooled.
Fire Risk
•
NEVER pull firepot cleaning rod or cleaning
slide plates out when appliance is operating.
The cleaning slide plates must be fully
CLOSED when appliance is operating.
WARNING
Disposal of Ashes
•. Hot pellets may fall into ashpan and start a fire
or mis-starts due to lack of vacuum.
•
•
Ashes should be placed in metal container
with tight fitting lid.
Ashes should be retained in closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
3. Ash Removal from Firebox
•
Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags or more fre-
quently depending on ash build-up.
By: Homeowner
•
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the firebox during
cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool.
The firebox ash should be removed every time the
exhaust path is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the ash
in the firebox will help slow down the build-up of ash
in the exhaust blower and vent system.
6. Cleaning Beneath Heat Exchanger
•
•
Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
By: Homeowner
a. Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been
unplugged and the exhaust blower is off
b. A more thorough cleaning is needed to remove the
excess ash that is left behind from the use of the
cleaning rods for the heat exchanger tubes.
b. Plug in your appliance, if unplugged, and turn the
thermostat on and immediatley shut it off to start the
exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull fly ash out
the exhaust instead of into the room.
c. The ash will be resting on the back of the baffle. This
will require removing the cast baffle.
c. Open cast hinged face. Directly underneath the firebox
door and to the left and right of the firepot are 2 cleaning
slide plates with finger holes. Pull both slide plates out
and then open the glass door. Sweep the remaining
ash from the firebox into the 2 open holes. A paint
brush works well for this. Close slide plates.
d. This ash is deposited in the same ash pan as the firepot
debris. The ash pan should be emptied every time you
clean the firebox. Remember to place the ash and
debris into a metal or noncombustible container.
e. The 2 cleaning slide plates must be fully closed when
cleaning is complete. See Disposal of Ashes.

The products of combustion will contain small particles
of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the flow of the flue gases.
•
•
By: Qualified Service Technician
Task: Contact your local dealer.
At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there
is a shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it
will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the
exhaust venting system.
15. Cleaning the Top Vent Adapter
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and the
exhaust blower should be off. Allow the appliance to
completely cool down.
The venting (chimney) system may need to be cleaned at
least once a year or more often depending upon the qual-
ity of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sections.
Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal sections.
b. Open the clean out cover. Figure 15.1.
c. Sweep out any ash build-up.
12. Cleaning the Glass
NOTE: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends to
use a heavy duty vacuum cleaner specifically
designed for solid fuel appliance cleaning.

By: Homeowner
Pellets Back Up
In Feed Tube
Firepot Overfills
Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create
conditions that make the firepot fill quickly with ashes and
clinkers.
This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfilling
the firepot with pellets which may result in smoking, sooting
and possible hopper fires. Figure 16.1 shows an example
where the firepot overfills, pellets back up into the feed tube
and ash has accumulated in the firebox.
Ash Build Up in Firebox

An inefficient and non-economical method of burning of fuel
caused by poor quality pellet fuel is shown in Figure 16.2.
The correct flame size when good quality, premium pellet
fuel is burned is shown in Figure 16.3.
Incorrect
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the firepot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• High ash fuels, or lack of maintenance, can
cause the firepot to overfill. Follow proper
shutdown procedure if ash buildup exceeds
half way point in firepot.

Troubleshooting for Homeowner
4
A. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUES
SOLUTIONS
1. Metallic noise.
1. Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as
it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound pro-
duced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not
affect the operation or longevity of your appliance.
2. White ash buildup on glass.
2. This is normal. Clean the glass using any non-abrasive
glass cleaner.
3. Glass has buildup of black soot
3. Excessive build-up of ash. See solution #4. The lower
burn settings will produce more ash, the higher burn
settings produce less. The more it burns on low the
more frequent cleaning of the glass is required.
4. Glass has turned dirty.
3. Excessive build up of ash. The lower burn settings will
produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce
less. The more it burns on low the more frequent clean-
ing of the glass is required.
5. Fire has tall flames with black tails and is lazy.
4. The feed rate needs to be reduced or the firepot needs
cleaning. Heat exchanger or exhaust blower needs
cleaning.
6. Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash. 5. Either the firepot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
start-up and not enough air. Close down feed rate 1/4
(6mm) inch at a time until this no longer happens.
6. Large flame at start-up.
6. This is normal. Flame will settle down once the fire is
established.
NOTICE: Odors and vapors are released during initial operation due to the curing of high tem-
perature paint. Open windows for air circulation. Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

Installation MUST comply with all local building codes
and regulations including those referring to national and
European standards.
•
Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal lo-
cation is to vent above roof line when possible. This mini-
mizes the affects of wind loading.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and floor protection, before
actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance
and chimney will affect performance.

•
Safety, convenience, traffic flow
Ensure that your floor will suport these weights prior to in-
stallation. Add sufficient additional support to meet this
weight requirment prior to installation. The weight of this
appliance is 109 kg and with a full hopper of fuel weighing
18 kg, the total for the appliance and fuel is 137 kg.

Vent Information

A. Venting Termination Requirements
B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power
Failure
CAUTION
Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
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.
1. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
strongly recommended that at least 1.5m of vertical
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 by exposing
people or shrubs to high temperatures. The safest and
preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically
through the roof.
Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels. This
air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors which flows
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
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
An outside air kit is recommended in all installations. The
Outside Air Kit must be ordered seperately.
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 1.2m below;
Per your local 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 appli-
ances.
b. Not less than 1.2m horizontally from;
c. Not less than 305mm above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows;
a. Not less than 305mm below; horizontally from or
above.
When the appliance is roof vented (strongly recommended):
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade should
be 305mm minimum. This is conditional upon plants in
the area, and nature of grade surface. The grade sur-
face must be a non-combustible material (i.e., rock, dirt).
The grade surface must not be lawn. Distance between
bottom of termination and public walkway should be
2.13m minimum.
The air intake is best located on the exterior wall ori-
ented 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.
5. Distance to combustible materials must be 610mm
minimum. This includes adjacent buildings, fences,
protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang, plants
and shrubs, etc.
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.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
•
•
•
•
Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
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.
Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffits.
Consult with your local heating professional to determine
the ventilation demands for your house.
Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 305mm minimum.
Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.

Vent Configurations
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down
conditions Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recom-
mends:
•
•
•
•
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
•
•
Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run
of 1.52m. Preferably terminating above the roof line.
Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
Installing the outside air kit at least 1.22m below the
vent termination.
Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and
to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:
•
•
•
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
•
•
Maintain specified clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffits.
Run the vent above the roof.
On nominal heat output the combustion blower operates at
2053 rpm developing 0.33 m^3/s. This is the minimum require-
ment for the supply of combustion air.
•
•
Avoid venting into alcove locations.
Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks
or onto covered porches.
D. Draft
•
Maintain minimum clearance of 152mm 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.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially dur-
ing lighting and die-down of the fire.
C. Negative Pressure
Considerations for successful draft include:
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can
cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot.
•
•
Preventing negative pressure
Location of appliance and chimney
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the appliance to operate properly. It can be stron-
gest in lower levels of the house.
To measure the draft or negative pressure on your appliance
use a magnahelic or a digital pressure gauge capable of
reading 0 - .13mm of water column (W.C.).
Causes include:
The appliance should be running on high for at least 15
minutes for the test.
•
•
•
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
Range hoods
With the stove running on high you should have a negative
pressure equal to or greater than the number given in the
chart below. If you have a lower reading than you find on the
chart, your appliance does not have adequate draft to burn
the fuel properly.
