FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
(Note: For Fireplace Insert Installation, see Fireplace Insert Installation section on Page 17)

Installation Overview
When choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of
factors that should be taken into account before beginning the installation.
1. Traffic Patterns – To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed
in a location where it is out of the way of normal travel through the
home.
2. Heat Flow – When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way
heat moves throughout your home. Install the stove where you need the
heat; basement installations often do not allow sufficient heat to flow to
the upper floors and a top floor installation will not allow any heat to
reach the floors below. Always consider that heat rises and will take the
path of least resistance while it is still hot.
3. Exhaust Location – Outside walls are generally the best place to install a
stove, since they allow easy exhaust and intake air installation (using our
DuraVent AC-3000 Kit). If there is not a feasible way to install the stove
on an outside wall, there are methods for venting the stove up through the
roof, but they tend to be more costly because they involve the use of
more pellet vent pipe and can often make outside air installation more
difficult.
4. Wall Construction – Locating the stove so that the exhaust system can
pass between studs will simplify the installation and eliminate the need to
reframe any sections of the wall to accommodate the wall thimble.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Venting Introduction
This pellet stove operates on a negative draft system, which pulls
combustion air through the burn pot and pushes the exhaust air to the vent pipe and
out of the building. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following
detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing the stove in accordance
with the details listed here can result in poor stove performance, property damage,
bodily injury or death. England’s Stove Works is not responsible for any damage
incurred due to a poor or unsafe installation.
If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our
Technical Support line (800-245-6489) is available. Contact your local code
official to be certain your installation meets local and national fire codes and if
you’re uncertain about how to safely install the stove, we recommend contacting a
local NFI certified installer to perform the installation.
Venting Guidelines
 ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence with the instructions and
clearances included with your venting system.
 DO NOT connect this pellet stove to a chimney flue which also serves
another appliance.
 DO NOT install a flue pipe damper or any other restrictive device in the
exhaust venting system of this unit.
 USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling
support/fire stop when passing through a ceiling.
 ONLY use 3.0” or 4.0” Type L or Type PL pipe approved for pellet stove
venting; DO NOT use galvanized or B-Vent pipe.
 SEAL each joint of pellet vent with high temperature silicone (Part # ACRTV3) to prevent smoke spillage into the home.
 AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft
of the venting system and will result in poor stove performance.
 INCLUDE as much vertical pipe as possible to prevent smoke from the unit
from entering your home in the event of a power outage.
 INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of fly-ash and
other restrictions.
 CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this
manual.
WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if
touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Additional Venting Information
 Do not mix and match components from different pipe manufacturers when
assembling your venting system (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one
manufacturer and a thimble from another).
 We require a minimum vertical rise of 36 in. (3 ft.) of pipe to create natural
draft in the system, which helps evacuate smoke from the stove in the event
of a power failure or combustion blower failure.
 Venting systems 15.0 ft. or shorter may be composed entirely of 3.0 in.
pellet pipe; to reduce frictional losses, venting systems longer than 15.0 ft.
should be composed of 4.0 in. pellet pipe.
 Do not terminate the venting system directly beneath any combustible
structure such as a porch or deck.
 Follow NFPA 211 rules listed below for venting system termination location
relative to windows and other openings in the dwelling.
o NFPA 211 (2003 ed.) Section 10.4 Termination: 10.4.5
(1) The exit terminal of a mechanical draft system other than direct
vent appliances (sealed combustion system appliances) shall be
located in accordance with the following:
 (a) Not less than 3 ft. (.91 m) above any forced air inlet located
within 10 ft. (3.0m).
 (b) Not less than 4 ft. (1.2 m) below, 4 ft. (1.2 m) horizontally
from or 1 ft. (305 mm) above any door, window or gravity air
inlet into any building.
 (c) Not less than 2 ft. (0.61 m) from an adjacent building and
not less than 7 ft. (2.1 m) above grade when located adjacent to
public walkways.
 Distance between the termination opening and grade should be a minimum
of 24 in. contingent on the grade surface below the termination. When
determining the termination height above grade, consider snow drift lines
and combustibles such as grass or leaf accumulation. In areas where
significant snowfall is possible, the termination height must be sufficiently
high to keep the termination free of snow accumulation.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Approved Venting Method 1: Through the Wall


Generally the simplest installation
method, venting through the wall using
our AC-3000 kit (or similar venting
system) is also the preferred venting
method. It minimizes horizontal pipe,
allows the stove to be installed close to the
wall and keeps the clean-out tee on the
outside of the house, for ease of cleaning.



When installing any venting system, Type
L or Type PL pipe must be used and all
clearances to combustibles (listed by the
pipe manufacturer) must be strictly
adhered to.



Use the pipe manufacturer’s approved
thimble for passing through a combustible
wall, and maintain at least the minimum
clearances to combustibles.



Use an appliance collar where the pellet
vent connects to the exhaust output of the
pellet stove and attach the appliance collar to the exhaust blower output using three sheet
metal screws.


Secure the pellet vent to the outside of the house using a wall strap just below the 90 degree
elbow.



Seal each pipe connection joint with high temperature RTV Silicone, to ensure the system is
leak free (Check with the specific venting system manufacturer’s instructions before doing
so).



If the pellet vent pipe being used is not a “Twist Lock” system, three (3) sheet metal screws
are required at each pipe joint.



Connect the pellet stove to outside combustion air using the kit included with your stove or
using an alternative method, as described in the “Outside Air” section, on page 15.



This installation type can be modified for basement (Basement installations should always
be performed by a professional installer) or other installations wherein the tee and vertical
section of the pipe would be inside the home and the venting system would simply pass
horizontally through the thimble and then terminate.
Please Note:
Installation diagrams are for reference purposes only and are not drawn to scale, nor meant to be used as plans for each individual
installation. Please follow all venting system requirements, maintain the required clearances to combustibles, and follow all local
codes.

For high altitude installations (above 4,000 ft.), the vent pipe should be
increased from 3-inch (3”) to four-inch (4”).

Page | 11

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Approved Venting Method 2: Through the Ceiling


Venting through the ceiling/roof may be the only
feasible venting option in some cases and is a factory
recommended installation.



When installing any venting system, Type L or Type
PL pipe must be used and all clearances to combustibles
listed by the pipe manufacturer must be strictly adhered
to.



Use the pipe manufacturer’s approved ceiling support
for passing through a combustible ceiling, as well as the
required firestops, radiation shields, flashing and storm
collar.



Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s required height
of termination above the roof line, and maintain at least
the minimum clearances to combustibles.



Use an appliance collar where the pellet vent connects
to the exhaust output of the pellet stove and attach the
appliance collar to the exhaust blower output using three
sheet metal screws.



Seal each pipe connection joint with high temperature
RTV Silicone, to ensure the system is leak free (Check
with the specific pipe manufacturer’s instructions before

doing so).


If the pellet vent pipe being used is not a “Twist Lock” system, three (3) sheet metal screws
are required at each pipe joint.



Connect the pellet stove to outside combustion air using the kit included with your stove or
using an alternative method, as described in the “Outside Air” section, on page 15.



This venting method can also be modified so that the venting system runs horizontally
through the wall from the stove, then transitions to vertical and terminates above the roofline.
When using this modified version of this installation be certain to carefully follow the
venting system manufacturer’s instructions diligently.
For high altitude installations (above 4,000 ft.), the vent pipe should be
increased from 3-inch (3”) to four-inch (4”).

Please Note:
Installation diagrams are for reference purposes only and are not drawn to scale, nor meant to be used as plans for each individual
installation. Please follow all venting system requirements, maintain the required clearances to combustibles, and follow all local
codes.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Approved Venting Method 3: Existing Chimney System


Using an existing masonry or factory built chimney for
venting is the only other acceptable method for venting
this pellet unit.



Use Type L or Type PL venting pipe until entering
the existing chimney. Use the appropriately sized
adapter when transitioning from the pellet vent pipe to
the masonry or factory built thimble and be certain that
the adapter is sealed tightly to both the pellet venting
system and the existing chimney.



Before using an existing chimney, be certain it is in
good condition (A chimney sweep inspection is highly
recommended). Also, make sure the chimney meets
the minimum standards listed in NFPA 211 (A
chimney professional can confirm this upon
inspection).



If connecting this stove to a factory built chimney, it
may ONLY be a 6” flue, UL103 HT venting system.
Connection to any other factory built chimney may
result in a poorly operating or dangerous stove installation.


When connecting to an existing masonry chimney, the cross-sectional area of the flue must
be considered. A chimney with a flue larger than 6” round (28.27 sq. in.) may require
relining with an approved pellet stove chimney lining system.



Use an appliance collar where the pellet vent connects to the exhaust output of the pellet
stove and attach the appliance collar to the exhaust blower output using three sheet metal
screws.



Seal each pipe connection joint with high temperature RTV Silicone, to ensure the system is
leak free (Check with the specific pipe manufacturer’s instructions before doing so).



If the pellet vent pipe being used is not a “Twist Lock” system, three (3) sheet metal screws
are required at each pipe joint.



Connect the pellet stove to outside combustion air using the kit included with your stove or
using an alternative method, as described in the “Outside Air” section, on page 15.
For high altitude installations (above 4,000 ft.), the vent pipe should be
increased from 3-inch (3”) to four-inch (4”).
Please Note:
Installation diagrams are for reference purposes only and are not drawn to scale, nor meant to be used as plans for each individual
installation. Please follow all venting system requirements, maintain the required clearances to combustibles, and follow all local
codes.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Mobile Home Installation
 As with all installations involving this unit, the use of outside combustion air is
mandatory and MUST be used. Please see the “Outside Air” section on page
15 for more information regarding outside air connections.
 The pellet stove MUST be secured to the floor of the mobile home using lag
bolts and the holes provided in the bottom of the pedestal for this purpose.
 The pellet stove MUST be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding wire (or
equivalent), terminated at each end with an NEC approved grounded device.
 Carefully follow all clearances listed in the appropriate section of this manual
AND follow the venting manufacturer’s minimum clearance requirements.
Similarly, be certain the venting system used is approved for mobile home use.
 Installation must be in accordance with Manufacturers Home & Safety Standard
(HUD) CFR 3280, Part 24 as well as any applicable local codes.

WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.

CAUTION
THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME
FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

Caution
NEVER draw outside combustion air from:
 Wall, floor or ceiling cavity.
 Enclosed space such as an attic, garage or crawl space.
For high altitude installations (above 4,000 ft.), the vent pipe should be
increased from 3-inch (3”) to four-inch (4”).

Page | 14

OUTSIDE AIR HOOK-UP
 The use of outside combustion air is mandatory on the 25-EP.
 The outside air connection pipe protrudes from the lower rear center of the
stove; use the included outside air kit to attach your stove to outside combustion
air. Instructions and all the parts needed to make the outside air connection to
your pellet stove are included with the outside air kit.
 If it is not feasible to use the included outside air hookup kit in your stove
installation, other materials may be used, provided the following rules are
followed:
o The pipe used for outside air hookup must be metal, with a minimum
thickness of .0209in. (25 gauge mild steel) or greater and an inside
diameter of approximately 2.0in.
o All pipe joints and connections should be sealed with pipe clamps or
other mechanical means, to insure a leak free outside air connection.
o Long runs of pipe and excessive elbows for outside air should be
avoided. Due to frictional resistance in pipe, any excessive outside air
piping can result in poor stove performance.
o A screen or other protection device must be fitted over the outside air
termination point to prevent rain, debris and nuisance animals from
entering the piping system.
o Increase the outside air pipe size to 3.0 in. diameter pipe if the outside air
connection is more than 6ft. in length, more than two (2) elbows are used
or if the stove is installed in a basement.
 The outside air connection system should be inspected at least annually to be
certain it is free from blockage.

Caution
NEVER draw outside combustion air from:
 Wall, floor or ceiling cavity.
 Enclosed space such as an attic, garage or crawl space.

Page | 15

FREESTANDING FLOOR PROTECTION
 The 25-EP requires a non-combustible floor protector if the stove is to be
installed on a combustible floor. If the floor the stove is be installed on is
already non-combustible (i.e. a concrete floor in a basement), no floor
protection is needed (although a decorative floor protector can still be used for
aesthetic reasons).
 When using any floor protector, consider that this stove is not only heavy but
will induce heating and cooling cycles on the floor protector which can damage
tile and loosen mortar and grout joints.
 The floor protector should be UL approved or equivalent and must only be
noncombustible. Since the majority of the radiant heat from this unit is
projected forward, the floor protector only serves to keep ashes and sparks from
landing on combustible flooring near the unit. A hearth rug is NOT an
approved substitute for a proper hearth extension pad.
 The floor protector must extend at least 6 in. (152.4 mm) from the front, sides
and rear of the 25-EP, as shown in the diagram below:

 In the USA, it is not required that the non-combustible floor protector extends
beneath the venting system, but is highly recommended.
 In Canada, it is required that the non-combustible floor protector is underneath
and extends 2 in. (50.8 mm.) on either side of any horizontal venting runs
AND/OR is directly underneath any vertical venting pipe.

*THIS CONCLUDES THE FREESTANDING INSTALLATION SECTION.

FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION
(Note: For Freestanding Installation, see Freestanding Installation section on Page 7)

Insert Assembly – Be certain the stove is unplugged and cooled down
 Tools Required
o Electric or battery operated drill with 1/8” drill bit.
o Socket wrench with 1/2”, 5/16” and 1/4” sockets.
 Parts Included In Insert Conversion Kit
o Surround Top Panel
o Surround Left Panel
o Surround Right Panel
o Left Side Panel
o Right Side Panel
o Rear Hopper Cover Plate Assembly
Instructions
1. Begin the insert conversion by loosening and removing the six sheet metal
screws on the rear of the unit which hold the side panels and rear panel to
the stove. These screws can be loosened using a 5/16” socket or open end
wrench.
2. Once these screws are removed, the side panels and back panel of the unit
can be removed and set aside; these panels will not be used on the insert
version of this stove.
3. Next, unlatch the two hopper lid latches near the front of the hopper lid.
Loosen and remove the hopper lid hinge retaining screws on the rear of the
unit; once these screws have been removed, the freestanding hopper lid can
be lifted off of the unit and set aside. This component will not be used on
the insert version of this stove.
4. Locate the Rear Hopper Cover Plate Assembly, which was included in the
insert conversion kit. This part comes preassembled with the rear hopper
cover plate, new hopper lid and hopper lid hinges. It also comes predrilled
for the required fasteners.
5. Lay the Rear Hopper Cover Plate Assembly on the top of the hopper lid; be
certain the assembly is centered on the stove and that all edges line up. Use
the predrilled holes as a drilling template. Without removing the hopper lid
gasket material, use a 1/8” drill bit in an electric or battery powered drill to
drill a hole at every predrilled location of the rear hopper cover plate.

FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION
Insert Assembly Continued
6. Use the included self-drilling sheet metal screws to screw the Rear Hopper
Cover Plate to the hopper of the stove while carefully holding the lid in
place to be certain in remains centered on the stove. A set of clamps or an
extra set of hands is very useful at this point of the conversion, but not
required.
7. Using a 5/16” socket or open end wrench, remove one of the hopper lid
latches from the original hopper lid. Install this hopper lid latch on the new
hopper lid and check to be certain the hopper lid is closing tightly. If not,
adjust the latch until a proper seal is made.
8. Next, install the insert side panels; these panels install much the same way as
the original side panels. Do not screw the side panels to the stove using the
rear screws at this time.
9. Install the surround side panels, one side at a time, and install the two selftapping sheet metal screws into the pre-drilled holes in the stove body.
These screws should pass through the surround side panel, the insert side
panel and then into the stove body.
10. Next, slide the top surround panel onto the pre-installed sheet metal screws
on the top of the Rear Hopper Cover Plate. Install two ¼” bolts through the
pre-drilled holes on either side of the surround top panel where it meets the
two side panels of the surround.
11. Tighten the 1/4” bolts first, and then, using a 5/16” socket or open end
wrench, tighten the sheet metal screws on the top of the Rear Hopper Cover
Plate.
12. Using a 5/16” socket or open end wrench, remove the two sheet metal
screws which hold the control panel mounting box to the stove body. The
wires which connect the control board to the stove components have been
made intentionally long, so that the control board can simply be remounted
to the right surround panel without any additional wiring.
13. Loosen the four bolts that secure the pedestal to the unit. These bolts are
located on the underside of the unit and can be loosened and removed using
a ½” socket on a socket wrench. ONCE THESE BOLTS ARE
LOOSENED AND REMOVED, THE UNIT IS FREE FROM THE
PEDESTAL AND CAN FALL, CAUSING INJURY. BE CAREFUL
WHEN REMOVING THESE BOLTS AND HAVE A HELPER WHEN
LIFTING THE STOVE FROM THE PEDESTAL.

FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION
Venting Introduction
This pellet stove operates on a negative draft system, which pulls
combustion air through the burn pot and pushes the exhaust air to the vent pipe and
out of the building. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following
detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing the stove in accordance
with the details listed here can result in poor stove performance, property damage,
bodily injury or death. England’s Stove Works is not responsible for any damage
incurred due to a poor or unsafe installation.
If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our
Technical Support line (800-245-6489) is available. Contact your local code
official to be certain your installation meets local and national fire codes and if
you’re uncertain about how to safely install the stove, we recommend contacting a
local NFI certified installer to perform the installation.
Venting Guidelines
 ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence with the instructions and
clearances included with your venting system.
 DO NOT connect this pellet stove to a chimney flue which also serves
another appliance.
 DO NOT install a flue pipe damper or any other restrictive device in the
exhaust venting system of this unit.
 ONLY use chimney liners listed for pellet appliance venting; do not use
galvanized or B-Vent pipe.
 INSTALL a block-off plate in the throat of the fireplace opening.
 SEAL each joint of pellet vent with high temperature silicone (Part # ACRTV3) to prevent smoke spillage into the home.
 AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft
of the venting system and will result in poor stove performance.
 INCLUDE as much vertical pipe as possible to prevent smoke from the unit
from entering your home in the event of a power outage.
 INSPECT your venting system often to be certain it is clear of fly-ash and
other restrictions.
 CLEAN your venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this
manual.
WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if
touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.

FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION
Additional Venting Information
 The installation of a fireplace insert can be challenging and requires
knowledge of chimney systems that the average homeowner does not have.
Due to this, England’s Stove Works highly recommends having this insert
professionally installed.
 However, if this installation is performed by the homeowner, follow the
guidelines listed below:
 Do not mix and match components from different pipe manufacturers when
assembling your venting system (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one
manufacturer and a termination cap from another).
 A FULL chimney relining is required when installing this stove as an insert.
o For chimneys 15 ft. or shorter, 3 in. pellet liner may be used.
o For chimneys 15 ft. or taller, 4 in. pellet liner must be used.
 For high altitude installations (altitudes greater than 4000 ft.), this insert
must be used with 4” pellet liner only. Using 3” liner will restrict air flow to
the unit at high altitudes and result in poor performance and a dirty burn.
 Outside combustion air must be connected, either by running the outside air
duct down through the ash clean-out of the fireplace, OR by running the
outside air duct to the top of the chimney. More information pertaining to
correct outside air installation can be found in the “Outside Air” section,
page 23.

Page | 21

FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION
Approved Venting Method: Full Chimney Relining
 Use a chimney liner system specifically
designed for pellet stove use; follow the
guidelines in the previous section regarding
appropriate liner diameter.
 Use the tee supplied by the liner
manufacturer to connect the exhaust outlet
of the stove to the chimney lining system.
 Seal the throat of the fireplace with a sheet
metal block-off plate screwed to the walls
of the fireplace.
 Seal the top of the chimney opening using
the Top Plate provided by the liner
manufacturer (or, for abnormal installations,
fabricate the top plate from sheet metal).
 Use High Temp RTV silicone to seal the top
plate and prevent leaks.
 If the liner system is not a “Twist-Lock”
design, all joints should be secured with
three sheet metal screws.
 Seal all joints in the liner using High Temp
RTV silicone.
 Secure the outside air pipe to the stove using a hose clamp or other mechanical
fastener. The outside air pipe may be run to the top of the chimney system and
terminated (as shown above), or may be run down through the ash dump, in the
case of a masonry fireplace.
Please Note:
Installation diagrams are for reference purposes only and are not drawn to scale, nor
meant to be used as plans for each individual installation. Please follow all venting
system requirements and maintain the required clearances to combustibles.

Page | 22

OUTSIDE AIR HOOK-UP
 The use of outside combustion air is mandatory on the 25-EP Insert.
 The outside air connection pipe protrudes from the lower rear center of the
stove; use the included outside air kit to attach your stove to outside combustion
air. Instructions and all the parts needed to make the outside air connection to
your pellet stove are included with the outside air kit.
 Outside air can be drawn from an outside air system which terminates at the top
of the chimney opening or down through the ash dump (if your fireplace is so
equipped.) The best choice for outside air connection is the one which uses the
shortest distance of outside air pipe.
 If it is not feasible to use the included outside air hookup kit in your stove
installation, other materials may be used provided the following rules are
followed:
o The pipe used for outside air hookup must be metal, with a minimum
thickness of .0209 in. (25 gauge mild steel) or greater and an inside
diameter of approximately 2.0 in.
o All pipe joints and connections should be sealed with pipe clamps or
other mechanical means, to insure a leak free outside air connection.
o Long runs of pipe and excessive elbows for outside air should be
avoided. Due to frictional resistance in pipe, any excessive outside air
piping can result in poor stove performance.
o A screen or other protection device must be fitted over the outside air
termination point to prevent rain, debris and nuisance animals from
entering the piping system.
o Increase the outside air pipe size to 3.0 in. diameter pipe if the outside air
connection is more than 6ft. in length, more than two (2) elbows are used
or if the stove is installed in a basement.
 The outside air connection system should be inspected at least annually to be
certain it is free from blockage.

Caution
NEVER draw outside combustion air from:
 Wall, floor or ceiling cavity
 Enclosed space such as an attic, garage or crawl space.
Page | 23

FLOOR PROTECTION
 The 25-EPI requires a non-combustible hearth if the current hearth of the
fireplace does not extend the required distance from the front of stove. Follow
the diagram below to determine if the current fireplace hearth is sufficient.
 If the current fireplace hearth is not large enough to accommodate this insert, a
hearth extension pad (which is designed and sold specifically for this purpose)
can be used. A hearth extension pad should be U.L. listed, or equivalent, and
must only be noncombustible. Since the majority of the radiant heat from this
unit is projected forward, the hearth extension pad only serves to keep ashes
and sparks from landing on combustible flooring near the unit. A hearth rug is
NOT an approved substitute for a proper hearth extension pad.

*THIS CONCLUDES THE FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION SECTION

DAILY OPERATION
Getting Started
 Check to see that the hopper is clean and free from foreign materials. Be sure
to connect this unit to a working outlet; we recommend using a surge protector
to help protect the electronic components from damage.
 BEFORE your first fire, dry run your unit (no pellet fuel in the hopper) for
twenty minutes; pressing the “ON” button with the unit plugged in will initiate
the dry run.
o Once the “ON” button is pressed, you should immediately hear the
exhaust blower start and operate continuously.
o After about three to five minutes, look for the red glow of the igniter in
the igniter port of the burn pot to be certain it is operating normally.
o Hold the hopper lid switch (See “Illustrated Parts Diagram” for your unit
at the rear of this manual) down with your finger and check to see that
the auger is turning. Release the hopper lid switch and be certain that the
auger stops turning. DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS IN THE
HOPPER OR NEAR THE ROTATING AUGER.
 After about twenty minutes, the control board should display “E-2” in the two
display windows (More information on Error Codes can be found in the Error
Code section of this manual).
 At this point, the dry run is complete and your pellet heating appliance is ready
for normal operation.
Lighting a Fire
 In order for this stove to operate, the hopper must first be filled with pellet fuel.
Lift the hopper lid using the flush-mount handle and pour the pellet fuel directly
into the hopper.
 We recommend using only pellets manufactured by PFI Certified
facilities, since pellets bearing the PFI stamp of approval will be low
in ash and moisture, high in BTU’s, and uniform in size and quality.
Page | 25

 The 25-EP will perform equally well using softwood and hardwood pellets, and
although the ash may differ slightly in appearance or texture, both types of
pellets will burn cleanly and efficiently in this stove.
 The 25-EP is equipped with an automatic pellet ignition system; the only user
input required to light the stove is a simple press of the “On” button.
 Shortly after pressing the “On” button, the letters “S U” will appear in the heat
range and blower speed windows of the control board. This indicates the stove
has entered the start-up sequence and is operating normally.
 The fuel feed rate and combustion air during start-up is determined by the
control board, so the stove may be started on any heat range, although we
recommend starting the stove on Heat Range 5, to help ensure a strong fire is
initiated.
 After approximately fifteen minutes, the fire should be burning brightly and the
“S U” should disappear from the control board. At this point, the stove has
begun normal operation and the display windows on the control board will
remain empty, unless the Heat Range or Blower Speed is adjusted.
Daily Operation Notes
 Only high quality, ¼” (.25 in.) diameter wood pellets, should be used in this
stove. Using low grade wood pellets with high ash content can cause the
burnpot to fill with ash at a more rapid pace and can cause intervals between
periodic maintenance to become significantly shorter. Please read the
“Maintenance” section of this manual thoroughly to understand how fuel
selection affects stove operation, maintenance and cleaning.
 Variation in the flame height is normal; not all wood fuel is uniform in size,
which can affect the way pellets are fed into the burnpot. Although the flame
height may increase and decrease during operation, the temperature of the
exhaust gas remains relatively constant and there is no loss of efficiency.

CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP”
A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE
HEATER WHILE IN USE. ADDITIONALLY, NEVER APPLY FIRE-STARTER TO ANY
HOT SURFACE OR EMBERS IN THE STOVE.
Page | 26

CONTROL BOARD SETTINGS
The control board on this stove allows the user to adjust the heat output and
convection blower speed, turn the unit on and off, and test components for function
(more on diagnostic mode later).
 The lower buttons on the control board (Low Fuel Feed, Low Burn Air, and Air
on Temp) are not meant to be adjusted during normal operation of the unit.
These buttons are factory preset and should not be adjusted by the user.
 To energize the unit and initiate a fire, press the “On” button. The LED above
the button should turn green and the control board should display “S U” shortly
after pressing the button.
 To shut the unit down, press the “Off” button. The LED above the button
should turn red and the board should display “S d” shortly after pressing the
button. This initiates the shut down sequence, and the stove will remain in shut
down mode until it has cooled down.
 To increase the heat output of the stove, press the “Up” heat range button. The
number in the heat range display window will increase, signifying that the
control board is now adjusting the heat output to your desired level. The blower
speed will increase the same amount as the heat range, because the stove is
designed to operate with the blower speed greater than or equal to the heat
range. Pressing the “Down” arrow will decrease the heat range and blower
speed.
 To increase the blower speed without increasing the heat range, press the
Blower Speed “Up” arrow until the desired blower speed is shown in the
display window. Pressing the “Down” arrow will decrease the blower speed;
however the control board will not allow the blower speed to be set lower than
the heat range.

Page | 27

ERROR CODES
Error codes, or “E-Codes,” are alphanumeric codes that will appear in the Heat
Range and Blower Speed windows of the Control Board if the unit experiences an
abnormal condition. Error codes are the control board’s way of telling the user that
something isn’t operating correctly within the stove, and that the unit should be
carefully inspected before reigniting. See the “Trouble-Shooting Guide,” page 45,
for additional information on error codes.
E-0
 When this is displayed in the control board windows (typically when
restarting after an “E-Code” shutdown), it means there are currently no
errors and the stove will begin normal operation.
E-1
 This error code is not used on this stove. If it is displayed in the control
board windows, please contact Technical Support and they will diagnose
the cause of the false code.
E-2
 When this code is displayed in the control board window it indicates a
failure to light. Although the stove may have ignited the pellets, the
control board did not register a high enough temperature to determine the
fire was lit. If a fire was ignited, wait for the unit to cool, clean the
burnpot and restart the unit.
E-3
 This error code indicates the preset maximum allowable exhaust
temperature was exceeded. Commonly referred to as “Over-Firing,” the
E-3 code means something in the stove is causing the exhaust gas to be
hotter than expected.
E-4
 This code is displayed based on a drop in the exhaust temperature. This
code means the fire or “proof of flame” has been lost. It usually results
from the hopper being empty.

If an error code continues to display, if the error code
seems unexplainable, or if you have any other
questions about error codes and what they mean,
please contact Technical Support at (800)245-6489.

POWER FAILURE
If the power to the unit is interrupted for approximately three minutes or
less, the unit will resume operation when power is restored according to
the following table:

Unit’s State Before Power Loss State When Power Returns
ON

Start-Up

Start-Up

Start-Up

Shut-Down

Shut-Down

OFF

OFF

 If the power is interrupted for more than (approximately) three
minutes, the unit will be “OFF” when power returns.
 IMPORTANT – Do NOT open the hopper lid or the door to
the unit during power outage. Open the closest outside door and
a window to reduce the chance of any combustion byproducts
entering the home.
 Wait for the power to be restored and then press the “ON”
button to restart the unit, if necessary.

Caution – Shock Hazard
 Press the “Off” button and let the appliance completely cool BEFORE
unplugging the appliance and beginning any maintenance or component
replacement.
 Risk of shock if appliance is not unplugged before service.

THERMOSTAT OPERATION
Thermostat Installation
1. Unplug the unit and remove the back panel of the stove.
2. Locate the thermostat connect block, labeled J18, on the rear of the control
board, near the bottom (See image below and pg. 52 of this manual for a
control board diagram). It will have a small wire “jumper” installed in it
from the factory. This jumper bypasses the thermostat and should be saved.
3. Loosen the two screws using a small slotted “jewelers” screwdriver and
remove the “jumper.”
4. Insert the two thermostat wires in place of the “jumper” and retighten the
screws.
5. Reinstall the back panel and mount the thermostat; the control board
automatically reads the thermostat and your stove is now ready for
thermostat operation.

THERMOSTAT OPERATION
Thermostat Operation Details


The 25-EP was designed to operate equally well in both manual and thermostat mode.
While using the control board for heating control gives the user control over the heat
output of the stove, the thermostat allows the stove to “start-up” and “shutdown”
independently which will help maintain your house at a more constant temperature and
save pellet fuel.



The 25-EP can be connected to either a wall thermostat (Part # PU-DTSTAT) or wireless
remote thermostat (Part # AC-3003). Although either thermostat will operate the stove
properly, we highly recommend the wireless thermostat for the convenience of starting
your pellet stove from anywhere in the house.



THERMOSTAT OPERATION: This stove is equipped with a unique, new feature that
allows two options for thermostatic operation: The stove comes from the factory preprogrammed in “On/Off mode,” which turns the stove on and off when the call for heat
comes or leaves, like a furnace. The second, or “High/Low mode,” burns at whichever
heat range you set the stove at until the call for heat leaves, at which point the stove goes
to the Low heat range setting.



To set the stove in the “High/Low mode,” unplug the unit and plug it back in, then press
and hold both down arrows until H L appears in the heat range and blower speed
windows. The unit is now in “High/Low mode.” (Note: Repeat this to change back to
“On/Off mode;” a 0 0 will appear in the heat range and blower speed windows). Using a
thermostat in On/Off mode may shorten the life of your stove’s igniter.



Please note: Certain units may not respond to this; if your unit does not respond in this
manner please contact Technical Support at (800) 245-6489.



Remember to locate the thermostat near the stove in a central location; putting the
thermostat in a distant room can cause the stove to overheat the room it’s located in
because the thermostat will only sense the temperature of the room in which it is
installed.



Although all heat range and blower speed settings are available in thermostat mode, the
two settings specifically designed for thermostat mode are heat ranges 3 and 8.
o Heat range 3 is intended for thermostat operation under normal operating
conditions.
o Heat range 8 is ideal for thermostat operation in large or poorly insulated homes.

DAILY MAINTENANCE
Important Notes
 As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF” and
has completed the Shut-Down cycle BEFORE beginning.
 Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire
has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complete. Always use
extreme caution when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think
they should be cold.
 Ashes should only be removed when the stove has been shut-down and has
been allowed to cool thoroughly. Hot embers can remain under ashes long
after the fire has gone out, so always be extra careful when handling any
ashes from this (or any) stove.
 Store ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid, and only place this
container on a non-combustible surface.
 Different pellets will generate varying amounts of ash and burnpot deposits.
Carefully monitor the ash build up in the stove when first operating the unit,
as well as whenever a different brand of pellets is burned.
 While the amount of ash generated by this unit is not excessive compared to
a traditional log-burning woodstove, keeping the unit clean and free of ash is
ESSENTIAL for peak performance and maximum efficiency. Ash build-up
hampers airflow, reduces efficiency, and can cause a smoke back.
 England’s Stove Works® is not responsible for any damages incurred due to
a poorly maintained and/or dirty stove. This pellet stove is a highly efficient
machine and, as such, requires sufficient maintenance to keep it operating at
its peak.
Disposal of Ashes – Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final
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 cinders have
been thoroughly cooled.
Page | 32

DAILY MAINTENANCE
Ash Removal and Disposal
 Press the “Off” button and allow the stove to complete the shut-down cycle
and cool completely.
 Grasp the heat exchange cleaning rod located at the middle of the decorative
room air grill and repeatedly pull it in and out until ash stops falling from the
tubes into the firebox. NOTE – The heat exchange tubes are the primary
medium which transfers heat from the fire into the room. Keeping them free
of fly ash is crucial to high efficiency operation of the unit.
 Because of the open design of the firebox, the majority of the ash will
already be in the ash pan. Open the main door of the stove and use an old
paint brush or putty knife to move ash from around the burnpot into the ash
pan below.
 Use a long handled screwdriver or putty knife to remove any deposits left in
the burnpot, being careful to remove them from the burnpot and not allow
them to filter down into the cradle area. Excessive ash build-up in the cradle
can cause poor stove performance (See “Cleaning the Burnpot” pg. 34).
 Turn the ash pan latch counterclockwise until it releases and slide the ash
pan out of the stove.
 Dump the ashes into a metal container (as described above) and store them
on a non-combustible surface to allow any embers to cool before disposal.
 Slide the ash pan back into the stove; rotate the latch clockwise, making
certain it catches the lip above the ash pan opening. The stove is now ready
to resume normal operation.
 Be certain the ash pan is ALWAYS installed properly in the stove; an airtight seal around the ash pan is crucial for proper operation of the stove.

Page | 33

DAILY MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Burnpot
Along with removing ashes from the stove, cleaning the burnpot is the other
essential part of daily maintenance that will keep the stove operating at its peak.
Pellets contain varying amounts of impurities and fusible material that will
accumulate in the burnpot over time. Some pellets will contain much higher
amounts of these fusible impurities, therefore extra vigilance may be required to
maintain a clean burnpot. Allowing impurities to build up in the burnpot can
restrict the air-flow to the fire, resulting in a dirty, inefficient burn.
Instructions
 Always allow the stove to finish the shut-down cycle and cool completely
before performing any maintenance inside the firebox.
 Open the main door of the stove and remove the burnpot by lifting it straight
up and out of the cradle. WARNING – The burnpot can remain HOT long
after the fire has gone out, so wear protective gloves whenever handling a
potentially hot burnpot.
 Once the burnpot is out of the stove, use a long handled screwdriver or putty
knife, as previously mentioned, the remove any deposits from the inside of
the burnpot.
 Be certain all air orifices are clear and unrestricted by fusible ash matter; a
fine tipped screwdriver or scratch awl can be useful in removing stubborn
matter from these orifices.
 Remove any ash material from the bottom of the cradle and brush any ash
from the top of the cradle into the ash pan below. Keeping the top of cradle
free of ash is crucial in allowing the burnpot to make a positive air-tight seal
with the top of the cradle.
 Insert the burnpot back into the cradle using the reverse of the procedure
detailed above.

Page | 34

BIWEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Important Notes
 As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF,” has
completed the Shut-Down cycle, and is completely cool BEFORE
beginning.
 Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire
has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complete. Always use
extreme caution when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think
they should be cold.
 Biweekly maintenance should include the steps listed in this section AS
WELL AS the steps listed in the previous “Daily Maintenance” section.
 Burning some brands of pellets may lead to increased ash build-up behind
the baffle and in the igniter tube. Diligent maintenance in the first year will
help you understand the location of ash build-up as well as the necessary
intervals between cleanings.
 Although not specifically listed in this section, the gaskets and latches on
both the main door and ash pan should always be inspected to ensure a
proper seal is being made. As previously mentioned, an airtight seal at all
stove openings is crucial to proper operation.
 When using a utility type vacuum for ash clean-out during biweekly
maintenance, be certain the vacuum is equipped with a filter capable of
preventing fine ash particles from being blown into the room. Similarly,
always be certain the stove is completely cool and that ALL ashes are cool
before vacuuming.
 Clean-out tees and other low spots in venting systems are areas prone to fly
ash accumulation. Be certain these areas are inspected frequently for
excessive ash accumulation.

Page | 35

BIWEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Baffle Removal
 Using the integral tube cleaner, as mentioned in the Daily Maintenance
section, helps to keep the heat exchanger tubes free from fly ash; however,
fly ash will still accumulate on the baffle shelf and in other non-visible
areas.
 The firebox baffle is a free floating design, which reduces thermal stresses
on the baffle and makes it easily removable for cleaning.
 Remove the baffle by:
o Grasping the baffle lifting tab in the center of the baffle.
o Tilting the baffle towards the back of the stove.
o Lifting the baffle up and out of its support holes on the firebox shelf.
o Allowing the baffle to slide down to the cradle and then tilting it down
and pulling it out of the stove through the main door.
 When the baffle is out of the stove, the area where fly-ash accumulates on
the firebox shelf will be clear.
 The use of a utility vacuum is highly recommended because it will prevent
fly-ash from falling through the exhaust holes and into the exhaust chamber.
 BEFORE replacing the baffle into the stove, inspect the heat exchange
tubes for fly ash accumulation and, if necessary, use a wire brush to remove
the ash accumulation.
 After removing all fly-ash from behind the baffle, reinsert the baffle into the
stove, using the reverse of the process detailed above. The fit of the baffle
into the stove is intentionally tight; however, excessive force is not
necessary to replace the baffle. If it seems the baffle will not fit without
using excessive force, remove the baffle from the firebox and line it up again
before trying to fit it back into the firebox.

Page | 36

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Important Notes
 As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF,” has
completed the Shut-Down cycle, and is completely cool BEFORE
beginning.
 Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire
has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complete. Always use
extreme caution when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think
they should be cold.
 Monthly maintenance should include the steps listed in this section AS
WELL AS the steps listed in the “Daily Maintenance” and “Biweekly
Maintenance” sections.
 Intervals between monthly cleanings will depend on the duration that the
stove is burning on a daily basis. A stove which is operated continuously
will need more frequent monthly cleanings than a stove which is used
periodically as supplemental heat.
 A good rule of thumb for monthly maintenance is that it should be done each
time an entire ton of pellets is burned OR once per month, whichever comes
first.
 If excess ash accumulation is found in the exhaust chamber or venting
system during monthly maintenance, the interval between cleanings should
be reduced to eliminate the possibility of poor stove performance due to ash
accumulation.

Page | 37

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Exhaust Chamber Cleaning
The exhaust chamber of the stove was intentionally designed as an ash
accumulation area. Allowing ash to accumulate here prevents excess ash build-up
in the combustion blower and the venting system. Similarly, the exhaust chamber
is easily accessible via the two exhaust chamber clean-out ports located in the
firebox.
Instructions
 Only clean the exhaust chamber AFTER cleaning the firebox shelf and heat
exchanger tubes, because cleaning them will deposit ash into the exhaust
chamber.
 Using a 5/16” socket wrench, remove the two screws which hold each of the
clean-out covers in place. The cleanout covers are located on the back wall
of the firebox, near the bottom.
 Remove the cleanout covers from the firebox and BEFORE vacuuming the
chamber out, observe the type and quantity of ash build-up. The ash
deposited in the exhaust chamber should be light, fluffy, grey or white in
color, and should be no higher than half way up the clean-out port.
o If the ash is dark brown or black, it is generally evidence of
incomplete pellet combustion.
o Do NOT allow the ash to accumulate higher than about half way up
the cleanout port; significant ash accumulation in this area can
“choke” the combustion blower and cause poor stove performance.
 Using a utility type vacuum cleaner, as previously mentioned in this manual,
vacuum the fly ash out of the exhaust chamber. A short piece of hose can be
attached to the end of the utility vacuum line and can be useful in reaching
the ash which accumulates between the clean-out ports.
 Once all ash has been removed from the exhaust chamber, reinstall the
cleanout port covers, using the screws previously removed.
 Be certain to tighten the screws down to sufficiently seal the cleanout port
covers, but do not over-tighten them, as it possible to damage the screw.
Page | 38

 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Venting Pipe Cleaning
 Low spots and direction changes in the venting system (such as tee’s and
elbows) are areas for potential fly-ash accumulation. INSPECT these areas
diligently to keep the venting system in safe operating condition.
 Depending on the specific type of venting system your stove is connected to,
it may be possible to remove the clean-out tee cover and simply run a pipe
brush up the pipe to remove any fly-ash accumulation. Brushes specifically
made for cleaning pellet pipe are available at the retailer where you bought
this stove, as well as at most hearth product dealers.
 Horizontal runs of pipe, such as from the exhaust connection on the stove to
the vertical transition, will accumulate fly ash and should be inspected
carefully and brushed clean.
 Check the termination cap to be certain is not clogged or restricted by any
fly-ash accumulation.
 After thoroughly cleaning the venting system, reseal any disassembled
seams with high temperature silicone (Part # AC-RTV3) if applicable to
your venting system.
 Inspect seams that were not disassembled to be certain a smoke-tight seal is
still being made.
 After prolonged use, leaks in the venting system can usually be found by
searching for fly-ash deposits on the outside of the pipe. Carefully check for
leaks in the venting system and seal them accordingly.
 Although most pellet venting systems are designed to last a lifetime, pellet
fly-ash can be corrosive under certain conditions. When cleaning your
venting system, examine the pipe carefully for any signs of deterioration and
replace sections that show excessive wear. It is unlikely that this will ever
be a concern, but maintaining your venting system in safe operating
condition is crucial to safe stove operation.

 YEARLY MAINTENANCE
Important Notes
 As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF,” has
completed the Shut-Down cycle, and is completely cool BEFORE
beginning.
 Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire
has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complete. Always use
extreme caution when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think
they should be cold.
 Yearly (or end of season) maintenance should include the steps listed in this
section AS WELL AS the steps listed in the “Daily Maintenance,”
“Biweekly Maintenance,” and “Monthly Maintenance” sections of this
manual.
 Yearly maintenance should be performed at the end of the burning season.
Leaving ash and other build-up in the stove during the non-heating months
can lead to premature metal degradation in the stove and venting system.
Using extra attention to detail and being certain to be very thorough in the
end of season cleaning will help increase the operating life of the stove and
venting system.
Soot and Fly Ash: Formation and Need for Removal
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash
 and restrict the flow of the flue gases.
will collect in the exhaust venting system
Incomplete combustion, such as that which occurs during startup, shutdown or
incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which
will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should
be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.

Caution – Shock Hazard
Press the “Off” button and let the appliance completely cool BEFORE
unplugging the appliance and beginning any maintenance or component
replacement.
Risk of shock if appliance is not unplugged before service.

YEARLY MAINTENANCE
Exhaust Blower Cleaning
Although the exhaust blower and blower housing were designed to minimize ash
build-up, some fly-ash will still accumulate there throughout the burning season.
The amount and type of ash will depend on the type of pellets and venting system,
but generally this accumulation will be mild. If, when cleaning the exhaust
blower, a large accumulation of fly-ash is found, cleaning the exhaust blower and
housing should be performed monthly or bimonthly to prevent this excess buildup.
Instructions
 Before beginning the exhaust blower cleaning procedure, be certain the
unit is unplugged and thoroughly cooled down.
 For the freestanding unit:
o Loosen, but do not remove, the three 5/16” screws on the rear of the unit,
on the side nearest the exhaust blower (the left side when facing the front of
the stove).
o The side panel is held to the front of the stove by two key slot supports;
gently pull the back end of the side panel away from the stove until the
head of the screw is in the center of the square cutout on the back of the
side panel.
o Pull the side panel straight back, supporting it carefully, and when it cannot
be pulled back any further, pull it away from the stove; the side panel
should slip off of the key slot supports (See diagram pg. 42)
o Once the side panel is removed, the exhaust blower will be clearly visible.

 For the fireplace insert:
o In order to access the combustion blower, the unit will have to be at least
partially removed from the fireplace opening (or alternatively, the surround
kit and side panels can be removed to access the blower).

 Disconnect the venting system from the exhaust blower just enough that you
will be able to remove the exhaust blower from the stove.
 Unplug the two wires which connect the stove wiring harness to the exhaust
blower using the quick connect plugs.
Page | 41

 Loosen and remove the 5/16” screw, on the top of the exhaust blower output
connection, which holds the thermal sensor to the exhaust blower.
 Loosen the five (5) 5/16” self-drilling screws which hold the exhaust blower
to the exhaust blower tube. The lower screws are most easily accessed
through the circular cutouts in the stove body. A 12” socket extension will
likely be necessary to reach all of the screws.
 Lift the exhaust blower up and out of the stove. The gasket which seals the
exhaust blower to the exhaust blower tube is fragile, so take extra care when
removing the blower. Even when being careful, though, it is easy to tear this
fragile gasket, and since an airtight seal is crucial here, it is best to replace
this gasket (Part # - PU-CBG) every time the exhaust blower is removed.
 With the exhaust blower removed, use a utility vacuum to remove any ash
accumulation in the exhaust blower tube.
 Use a soft paint brush and carefully remove any ash accumulation from the
inside of the exhaust blower, and from the exhaust blower fan blade.
 Inspect the exhaust blower motor for dust accumulation and carefully
remove it, ensuring that all air cooling holes into the motor are open and free
of dust deposits.
 Install the blower and side panel in the reverse order as described above.
Remember to check the condition of the exhaust blower gasket AND
remember to reconnect the thermal sensor to the top of the exhaust blower
outlet before reinstalling the side panel.

 YEARLY MAINTENANCE
Convection Blower Cleaning
As always, be certain the stove is cool and unplugged before servicing any components
within the unit. Since the convection blower does not handle any by-products of
combustion, it does not require serious cleaning like the exhaust blower. However, dust
from the home and other debris in the air can accumulate on the blades of the convection
blower. The convection blower is located on the side of the stove opposite the
combustion blower, and while the side panels are removed from the stove (for the
freestanding; for the insert you must pull the stove from the fireplace), the convection
blower should be visually inspected for any dust build-up. Any dust that has built up on
the fan blades can usually be easily removed with a vacuum or a soft paint brush.
Cleaning Pellet Fines from the Hopper and Auger
Depending on the type and quality of pellets burned in the stove, some accumulation of
pellet fines and dust is possible in the hopper. The lowest part of the auger, near the back
of the stove, is where most fines will accumulate. With the stove off, unplugged, and
with the hopper empty, use a utility vacuum to remove the fines from the auger tube. If
the fines cannot be removed from the top of the hopper:
 For the freestanding unit:
o Remove both side panels using the procedure described in the “Exhaust
Blower Cleaning” section, found on pg. 41 of this manual.
o Next, remove the back panel by sliding it to one side of the stove, then
pulling the opposite side out and off of the stove.
 For the fireplace insert:
o The unit will need to be at least partially removed from the fireplace
opening (or alternatively, the surround kit and side panels can be removed).
 Locate the auger motor assembly at the middle rear of the stove, and once it is
found, find the two set screws on either side of the cast iron mounting collar.
 Using a 3/16” allen wrench, loosen the set screw on either side of the auger
mounting collar.
 With a utility vacuum in hand, let the auger assembly slide out of the auger tube
just enough so that the vacuum can be used to remove any fines from this area.
 Reinstall the auger assembly and tighten the two set screws; reinstall the back
panel and the two side panels, being certain to tighten the six (6) retaining screws
on the rear of the stove.

 YEARLY MAINTENANCE
Checking Gaskets
An airtight seal at the door openings and hopper lid opening is crucial to proper
stove performance. Any air leaks at these areas can not only cause a dirty,
inefficient burn but can also pose a serious safety threat. Because of this, gaskets
should always be maintained in good condition. Gasket tightness can be checked
using the “dollar-bill” method:
 Place a dollar bill between the gasket and the stove body (at the location
where the gasket meets the stove).
 Tighten the latching mechanism down and attempt to pull the dollar bill out.
If the dollar bill slides in and out easily, the gasket needs to be replaced.
This test should be repeated around the entire gasket perimeter, as gaskets
will sometimes seal tightly on one side, but will be worn and seal poorly on
another side.
 Perform this test around the entire perimeter of the door, hopper lid and ash
pan. If any area fails the test, the entire gasket should be replaced. The part
number appropriate to the gasket being replaced can be found in the
“Illustrated Parts” section at the rear of this manual.
 Gaskets should only be replaced with equivalent fiberglass gaskets
purchased from England’s Stove Works ® specifically for this unit.
Instructions for gasket removal and replacement will accompany the gasket
kit ordered, and can also be found in the instructional DVD accompanying
this manual in the stove.

REPLACING COMPONENTS
IMPROPER GASKET MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING FAILURE TO REPLACE
GASKETS, CAN CAUSE AIR LEAKS RESULTING IN SMOKE-BACKS.
Gaskets
1. Door
o This unit comes with a 1/2” rope gasket around the door that should be replaced at
least every two years. To replace the door gasket (Part # AC-DGKEP), the old
gasket must first be removed entirely — prior to adding the new adhesive, you
may have to scrape the old cement from the door channel. Once the cement and
gasket have been added, the door should be closed and latched for twenty-four
hours to allow the cement to harden.
2. Window
o If you are replacing the window gasket (Part # PU-GGK), the new gasket will
already have adhesive on one side. Remove the paper on the adhesive side and
place the gasket around the outside edge of the glass, centered over the edge.
Fold the gasket edges over on the glass, forming a “U” shape.
3. Combustion Blower
o The Combustion Blower Gasket (Part # PU-CBG) should be inspected whenever
you remove or clean the Combustion Blower and replaced if necessary.
Finish
This new unit has been painted with High-Temperature Paint that should retain its
original look for years. If the unit should get wet and rust spots appear, the spots can be sanded
with fine steel wool and repainted. It is crucial that only High-Temperature Spray Paint is used
(Part # AC-MBSP), as others may not adhere to the surface or withstand the high temperatures.
Similarly, some brands of paint will not adhere to different brands of paint, so we highly
recommend using our proprietary High-Temperature Spray Paint.
Glass
This unit has a three piece ceramic glass set (Part No. AC-G40 [Center Glass] & Part No.
AC-G41 [Side Glass]) in the viewing door. Self adhesive window gasket is always included
with replacement windows purchased directly from England’s Stove Works. Surface scratches
are acceptable, but if this glass becomes cracked in any area, the unit should be shut down and
the window replaced with ceramic glass bought from England’s Stove Works. Never replace
ceramic glass with tempered or any other type of glass.

REPLACING COMPONENTS
Control Board
The Control Board (Part # PU-CBEP) is a digital read-out board. This board offers a
wide variety of settings to operate the unit. The right side panel should be removed prior to
removing the control board (freestanding unit). The control board can be removed from the unit
by loosening the two outside screws and pulling the board back to the inside. A 6-amp “quickblow” fuse is used on this Control Board.
NOTE: The bottom three control buttons are preset at the factory and are not user adjustable.

Caution – Shock Hazard
 Press the “Off” button and let the appliance completely cool BEFORE
unplugging the appliance and beginning any maintenance or component
replacement.
 Risk of shock if appliance is not unplugged before service.
Page | 52

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Wall Thermostat (PU-DTSTAT)
Installing this wall thermostat allows the 25-EP to operate on the same
principle as a furnace: The stove will shut-down and relight as the call for heat
comes and goes. This will maintain the house at a more constant temperature,
while conserving pellets.

Remote Thermostat (AC-3003)
The remote thermostat for the 25-EP takes the convenience of thermostat
operation one step further by allowing temperature adjustments from anywhere in
the home. The remote thermostat allows precise temperature control from
wherever you desire and only requires six (6) AA batteries to operate.

STANDARD ACCESSORIES
Ceramic Log Set (PU-LSEP)
A unique feature of the 25-EP is the ceramic log set which is included with
every stove. The ceramic log set dresses up the firebox interior and gives a feeling
of a wood fire. The log set does not require any maintenance, other than the
periodic removal of fly-ash, which can be accomplished with the same utility
vacuum used for general cleaning of the unit.
The log set retains heat long after the fire has gone out so it should always
be handled with fire resistant gloves to prevent injury. The log set simply rests on
top of the cradle, so removing the set is accomplished by carefully lifting the log
set up and out of the stove. The log set is somewhat fragile and care should be
taken not to drop it or strike it with any objects; however, the log set is made from
a special ceramic material and should last a long time. The abrasive nature of a
pellet fire and the frequency with which the log set must be handled make it highly
susceptible to damage; therefore, England’s Stove Works© extends no warranty
applicable to the log set.

improper handling, improper installation, improper operation, abuse or
unauthorized repair made or attempted to be made.
3. The manufacturer is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential
damages in connection with the product including any cost or expense,
providing substitute equipment or service during periods of malfunction or
non-use.*
4. All liability for any consequential damage for breach of any written or
