2Getting Started
A
. Design, Installation & Location
Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, trafc
ow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and
chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and oor
protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you
are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance where
there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney
through the outside wall or ceiling and roof.
Check with your local building code agency before you
begin your installation. Be sure local building codes do not
supersede UL specications and always obtain a building
permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be
unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during
installation, please contact your local dealer.
We recommend that a qualied building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after installation.
2. Thermostat Location
The thermostat’s location will have some effect on the
appliance’s operation. When the thermostat is located close
to the appliance, it may require a slightly higher temperature
setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the
thermostat location is in an adjacent room or on a different
oor level, you will notice higher temperatures near the
appliance.
B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insu-
lation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the
designated air space clearance around the chimney. This
space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of
your home to ensure your safety. They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,
and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher
to contend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least 2
escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a hopper re as follows:
In the event of a hopper re:
a. Notify re department.
b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
c. Close all openings into the appliance.
d. Unplug appliance.
e. While awaiting re department, watch for ignition
of adjacent combustibles from overheated vent
pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney.
f. Pour a bucket of water into the appliance
hopper.
CAUTION
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney ue servicing
another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Fire Risk.
WARNING
• Do not operate appliance before reading
and understanding operating instructions.
• Failure to operate appliance properly may
cause a house re.

G. Calculating Alternate Floor Protection Material
Thermal Conductivity: k value
The k value indicates the amount of heat (in BTU’s) that will ow
in 1 hour through 1 square foot of a uniform material 1 inch thick
for each degree (F) of temperature difference from one side of
the material to the other. The LOWER the k factor means less
heat is being conducted through the non-combustible material to
the combustible material beneath it. The k value of a material
must be equal or smaller then the required k value to be accept-
able.
(BTU) (inch)
(foot2 (hour) (oF)
Thermal Resistance: R value
The R value is a measure of a material’s resistance to heat
transfer. R value is convenient when more than one materi-
al is used since you can add the R values together, whereas
you can not do this for k value. The HIGHER the R factor
means less heat is being conducted through the non-com-
bustible material to the combustible material beneath it. The
R value of a material must be equal or larger then the re-
quired R value to be acceptable.
Converting k to R:
Divide 1 by k and multiply the results times the thickness in inch-
es of the material.
R = 1/k x inches of thickness
Converting R to k:
Divide the inches of thickness by R.
k = inches of thickness/R
Calculations:
Example: Floor protection requires k value of 0.84 and /4 inch
thick.
Alternative material has a k value of 0.6 and is /4 inch thick.
Divide 0.6 by .75 = k value of 0.80. This k value is smaller than
0.84 and therefore is acceptable.
F. Floor Protection
1. Zero Clearance Installations*
It is necessary to install a oor protection of non-combus-
tible material with a R value of .0 (1 inch [25mm] minimum
thickness with a “k” value of 0.58) or a 1 inch (25mm) air
space between insert base and hearth.
2. Non-Zero Clearance Installations*
A non-combustible oor protector is required with a mini-
mum R value of .0 (1 inch [25mm] minimum thickness with
a “k” value of 0.58) extending 6 inches (15mm) in front of
the insert and 8 inches (20mm) to each side of the door
opening.

A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be vented
vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all listed pellet vent. Use
listed double wall ue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside
Air Kit must be used with manufactured home installa-
tions.
3. Residential: Use 24 gauge single wall ue connector or
listed double wall ue connector to Class A listed metal
chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting national and/or
local codes for solid fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least screws through each joint.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever pos-
sible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F
[260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled eld corn, you must use approved
venting specically designed for corn. Follow the instruc-
tions from the venting manufacturer.
Fire Risk.
• Only LISTED venting components may be
used.
• NO OTHER vent components may be used.
Substitute or damaged vent components may
impair safe operation.
WARNING
B. Venting Termination Requirements
1. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of verti-
cal 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.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally
from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (05mm) above.
. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (05mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade
should be 12 inches (05mm) minimum. This is con-
ditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface 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 84 inches (214mm) minimum.
5. Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
•
Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl softs.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (05mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.

The chart will help you in determing proper venting
size according to the equivalent feet of pipe calcuated
above and the altitude above sea level of this installa-
tion. See Figure 13.2.
Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on
the vertical left side of the chart. Move to the right
horizontally on the chart until you reach your altitude
above sea level.
If you fall below the diagonal line, or 4 inch (76 to
102mm) pipe may be used. If it is anywhere above
the diagonal line, a 4 inch (102mm) diameter pipe is
requried.
The chart reveals that a 90° elbow is 5 times as
restrictive to the ow of exhaust gases under positive
pressure as 1 foot of horizontal pipe, and a foot of
horizontal pipe is twice as restrictive as a foot of
vertical pipe.

8Operating Instructions
A. Fuel Size And Material
1. Wood Pellets
Fuel pellets are made from sawdust or wood by-products. If the
source material is hardwood, they can have a higher mineral
content, creating more ash. Fuels containing bark will also
have higher ash content. Minerals and other noncombustible
materials such as sand will turn into a hard, glass-like substance
called a clinker when heated to the extreme temperatures
our repot reaches. This is what forms clinkers in the bottom
of the repot. Trees from different areas will vary in mineral
content. That is why some fuels produce more clinkers than
others. Pellets are manufactured in either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch
(6-8mm) diameter and should be no more than 1-1/2 inches
(38mm) in length. Pellet lengths may even vary by lot from the
same manufacturer which is why the feed rate may need to be
adjusted occasionally. If you burn pellets longer than 1-1/2
inches (38mm) you may have an inconsistent fuel feed rate
and/or missed ignitions.
Pellet fuel quality can greatly uctuate. We recommend using
premium grade fuel with ash content less than 1%. Even in some
fuel labeled “premium” ash content can vary from bag to bag
and possibly exceed 1%. High ash fuel, or lack of maintenance,
can cause the repot to ll up and thus create a potential for
smoking, sooting and possible hopper res.
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.
We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever
possible. Buying large quantities of fuel at once will greatly
reduce the number of times the feed adjustments will need to
be made. However, we do recommend trying various brands
before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.
2. Shelled Field Corn
Shelled eld corn can be an efcient and economical fuel. We
recommend using a 50-50 blend of corn and wood pellets. The
only change in operation; 1) the feed rate may require a slight
adjustment and 2) repot will require more frequent cleanings.
The BTU output varies slightly compared to pellets, depending
on the quality of the corn used. In cases where it is acceptable
for the appliance to run full time, 100% corn will work after the
re has been started using wood pellets.
B. General Operating Information
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 satised, the red call light will shut off and the appliance will
shut down. Figure 24.1.
2. Heat Output Controls

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 always start up
on High. After burning approximately 4 minutes, the appliance
will then burn at the rate at which it was originally set. If the
appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it will run quieter
but takes 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.
Fire Risk.
WARNING
• High ash fuels, or lack of maintenance,
can cause the firepot to fill with ash
and clinker. If the firepot fills to the top,
immediately shut down the unit and clean.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fires.
WARNING

D. Fuel Adjustment Control Rod
The set screw is located at the bottom of the hopper and
set loose at the factory so the fuel adjustment control rod
will slide by only loosening the wing nut. Do not re-tighten
bottom set screw.
C. 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 re protection, venting and
thermostat installation instructions.
2. Double check that the ash pan and rebox are empty!
. Check the position of the thermocouple, located above
the repot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately
/4 inch (19mm) into the repot.
4. Close the front door.
F. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted re with the heat output control switch set
on “HIGH” has a short active ame pattern that extends out
of the repot approximately 4 to 6 inches (102-105mm). If
the re has tall ames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. If the re is not 4
inches to 6 inches (102-105mm) tall, increase the feed rate.
A medium and low setting will give a shorter ame. The ame
will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.
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 a
llow 15 minutes for feed
adjustment to take effect.
G. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
E. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance, except for corn. At this time, ll the hopper
with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug
the power cord into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 10
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.
. L
ocate the heat output control switch on the right side
behind the right side panel. Set to the HIGH setting and
then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. The
red call light will be on which is located on the right side
behind the right side panel. This indicates the thermostat
is calling for heat. See Figure 24.1 on page 24.
4.
The fuel feed system and the igniter should
now
be on.
5. For your rst re it will be necessary to press the reset
button approximately 2 minutes after start-up and again
at 4 minutes. This will ll the feed system and allow the
appliance to begin dropping pellets. Continue pushing
the reset button until you detect that pellets are being
delivered into the repot. The appliance will continue to
run as long as the thermostat is calling for heat.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let the 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. Open the hopper lid and locate the fuel adjustment control
rod.
2. Loosen the wing nut on the rod.
. Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards the "+"
symbol to increase the feed rate and ame height or
towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate and
flame height. Make approximately 1/2 inch (1mm)
movements of rod at a time.
4. Re-tighten the wing nut.
H. Ignition Cycles
1. During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some smoke
in the rebox. The smoke will stop once the re starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after your
appliance has reached the set temperature. 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.
. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will be
on. To restart it, ll the hopper and press the reset button.
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 re shortly. If not, follow the instructions
“Starting Your First Fire”.on this page.

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. Ash buildup on glass. 2. This is normal. Clean the glass.
. Glass has turned dirty. . 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.
4. Fire has tall ames with black tails and is lazy. 4. The feed rate needs to be reduced or the repot needs
cleaning. Heat exchanger or exhaust blower needs
cleaning.
5. Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash. 5. Either the repot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
start-up and not enough air. Close down feed rate 1/4
inch (6mm) at a time until this no longer happens.
6. Large ame at start-up. 6. This is normal. Flame will settle down once the re is
established.

10Maintaining & Servicing Your Appliance
B. General Maintenance
1. Types of Fuel
Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate how
often you have to clean your repot. If the fuel you are burning
has a high dirt or ash content or you are burning shelled eld
corn, it may be necessary to clean the repot more than once
a day. Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the repot. A
clinker is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance
is heated to 2000°F (109°C) and becomes glass-like. See
“C” in this section for more details on fuels with high ash
content.
2. Cleaning Firepot with Cleaning Rod & Firepot
Scraper
• Frequency: Daily or more often as needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool
and the exhaust blower off. If you are just cleaning the
repot, there is no need to unplug the appliance.
Clinker
Figure 30.1 - Clinker
3. Cleaning Ash Pan
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
Locate the ash pan underneath the repot and using a
slight pull up and out remove the ash pan. Empty into
a non-combustible container and re-install ash pan.
See Disposal of Ashes on page 31.
4. Ash Removal from Firebox
• Frequency: Weekly or as needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the rebox during
cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool.
Frequent cleaning of the ash in the rebox will help
slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust blower
and vent system.
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 y ash out
the exhaust instead of into the room.
c. Open door. Remove ash with an ash vacuum or whisk
broom and small dust pan.
d. This ash is deposited in the same ash pan as the
repot debris. The ash pan should be emptied every
time you clean the rebox. Remember to place the ash
and debris into a metal or non-combustible container.
See Disposal of Ashes on page 31.
WARNING
• NEVER pull repot cleaning rods or cleaning
slide plates when appliance is operating. Hot
pellets may fall into ashpan and may start a
re or have mis-starts due to lack of vacuum.
Fire Risk. Disposal of Ashes
WARNING
• Ashes should be placed in metal container
with tight tting lid.
• Ashes should be retained in closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Shock and Smoke Hazard
• Turn down thermostat, let appliance completely
cool and exhaust blower must be off. Now you
can unplug appliance before servicing.
• Smoke spillage into room can occur if appliance
is not cool before unplugging.
• Risk of shock if appliance not unplugged before
servicing appliance.
CAUTION
A. Proper Shutdown Procedure b. Pull repot cleaning rod OUT and IN a couple of times
to help shake debris loose. If rod is hard to pull, it may
be necessary to use your repot scraper to chip away
material that has built up on the bottom plate of the
repot and to push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers
may have to be removed from the top of the repot.
Corn clinkers can be especially difcult to break up.
c. The repot oor plate must be fully closed when
nished.

6. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending nal
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have been
thoroughly cooled.
7. Cleaning Heat Exchanger Chambers
• Frequency: Weekly or as needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
The amount of ash buildup in the repot will be a good
guide to determine how often you should clean the heat
exchangers.
a. Allow the appliance to completely cool down before
pulling the cleaning rods. Turn the thermostat on and
then immediately off to start the exhaust blower on its
cycle time. It will pull y ash out the exhaust instead
of into the room.
b. To access the cleaning rods lift the hopper lid. Both
black bent handle pull rods are located close to the
face of the appliance to the left and right side.
c. To clean, pull the rods straight out until it stops,
approximately 20 inches (508mm). Slide the rods
OUT and IN a couple of times.
8. Cleaning Beneath Heat Exchanger
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
A more thorough cleaning is needed to remove the
excess ash that is left behind from the use of the clean-
ing rods for the heat exchanger tubes. The ash will
be resting on the back of the bafe. This will require
removing the bafe. Please refer to page 34 for instruc-
tions on removing the bafes.
10. Cleaning the Glass
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
a. Appliance must be completely cool before cleaning
glass.
b. Use a damp paper towel or any nonabrasive glass
cleaner. Wipe off with dry towel.
NOTE:

14. Cleaning Exhaust Blower - Requires No Lubrication
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Quality Service Technician/Homeowner
• Task:: Contact your local dealer.
15. Cleaning Convection Blower - Requires No
Lubrication
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Qualied Service Technician
• Task: Contact your local dealer.
16. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Qualied Service Technician/Homeowner
• Task:
The products of combustion will contain small particles
of y ash. The y ash will collect in the exhaust vent-
ing system and restrict the ow of the ue gases. 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.
The venting system may need to be cleaned at least
once a year or more often depending upon the quality
of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sec-
tions. Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal
sections.
13. Cleaning the Hopper
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to
clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up. A combi-
nation of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the
amount of fuel supply to the repot. This can result in
nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow
the appliance to completely cool down.
b Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
11. Door Latch Inspection
• Frequency: Periodically
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
To adjust, open the latch and pivot the holding rod out. Loosen
the jam nut on the rod. With a Phillips head screw driver, turn
the rod clockwise to tighten. The latch handle should snap
securely in place when adjusted properly. After adjusting
the latch, be sure to tighten the jam nut on the rod to hold
the adjustment.
C. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create
conditions that make the repot ll quickly with ashes and
clinkers. This condition makes the appliance susceptible to
overlling the repot with pellets which may result in smok-
ing, sooting and possible hopper res. Figure 33.1 shows
an example where the repot overlls, pellets back up into
the feed tube and ash has accumulated in the rebox. On
page Figure 33.2 illustrates an inefcient and non-eco-
nomical method of burning of fuel caused by poor quality
pellet fuel. Figure 33.3 is showing the correct ame size
when good quality, premium pellet fuel is burned.
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the repot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
Follow the detailed instructions found in this section for
each step listed below.
• Shut down the unit by turning down the thermostat
and allow unit to completely cool down. (Do not unplug the
unit, it can cause smoke spillage in the room).
• Pull the heat exchanger cleaning rods. Section
10.7
• Empty the repot. Section 10.2
• Clean the rebox. Section 10.4
• Empty the ash pan Section 10.3
• Dispose of the ashes. Section 10.6
• Restart the appliance with premium grade fuel.
12. Door Gasket Inspection
• Frequency: Periodically
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
To inspect the door rope (gasket), open the door and see
that the door rope extends approximately 1/8" (mm) to
/16" (9.5mm) from the door rope channel. It should show
signs of compaction all the way around the door where the
rope contacts the face of the insert. Conrm there are no
air leaks.

Check the wall receptacle for 120 volt, 60 Hz (standard
current). Make sure the outlet is grounded and has the correct
polarity. A good surge protector is recommended. When
operating with a generator you need at least 600 watts of
power, or with an inverter at least 800 watts of power, available
for the appliance during the start cycle.
12. Red Call Light
The red call light is on the right side behind the right side
panel. The function of the red call light is to indicate that the
thermostat is calling for heat.
13. Reset Button
The reset button is located on the right side of firebox
behind right side panel. The function of the reset button is
to momentarily open the thermostat circuit, which restarts
the system.
14. Thermocouple
The thermocouple is located on top of the repot inside
the thermocouple cover (ceramic protection tube). The
thermocouple sends a millivolt signal to the control box
indicating the preset temperatures of the green and red lights
have been obtained.
15. Thermostat
The appliance is designed to run on a 12 volt AC thermostat.
The heat anticipator, if present, should be set on the lowest
setting available.
When describing the location of a component
part it is always AS YOU FACE THE FRONT
OF THE APPLIANCE.
2. Convection Blower
The convection blower is mounted at the bottom rear of the
appliance. There are 2 impellers, one on each side of the
motor. The convection blower pushes heated air through the
heat exchange system into the room.
3. Exhaust Blower
The exhaust blower is mounted on the left side of the
appliance behind the left side panel. It is accessible either
when the insert is pulled out onto the hearth or from both
hinged side openings. The exhaust blower is designed to
pull the exhaust from the appliance and push it out through
the venting system.
4. Feed System
The feed system is located behind the rebox and can be
removed as an entire assembly. The assembly includes
the feed motor, mounting bracket, bearing and feed spring
(auger). The hollow feed spring (auger) pulls pellets up the
feed tube from the hopper area and drops them down the
feed chute into the repot.
5. Firepot
The repot is made of high quality ductile iron and has a
cleaning pull-out rod. The oor of the repot opens for
cleaning when you pull out the rod. Be sure that the oor
returns to a completely closed position or your appliance
will not operate properly.
6. Fuse
The fuse is located on the right side of the appliance behind
the side panel. The fuse will blow should a short occur and
shut off power to the appliance.
NOTE:
Do NOT open the control box. This will void the
warranty. If you need to plug in or remove the control
box you must rst unplug the appliance.
1. Control Box
a. The control box is located on right side of appliance,
behind the right side panel.
b. There is a light located inside of the control box. The
internal light will turn green when the appliance has
reached a temperature of 200oF (9°C) in the repot.
and will turn red when it reaches 600oF (15°C).
c. There is also an internal blue light located in the upper
left corner of the control box. When you plug in the
appliance the blue light will automatically start blinking
1 blink every 10 seconds for 60 seconds and then will
stop.

16. Snap Disc #1 (Convection Blower) 125°F
Snap disc #1 is located on the right side of the rebox. There
are 2 purple wires connected to it. This snap disc turns the
convection blower on and off as needed. Power is always
present at snap disc #1.
17.
Snap Disc #2 (Fuel Delivery Interrupt) 200°F
Snap disc #2 is located on the back side of the feed drop
tube. There is 1 orange wire and 1 black wire connected to
it. This snap disc will turn off the feed system, which will turn
off the appliance if an overre condition should occur or if the
convection blower should fail to operate. If this occurs the
snap disc with automatically reset itself.
18.
Snap Disc #3 (Burn Back Protector) 250°F
Snap disc # is mounted on the right side of the auger tube
just below feed motor and has a reset button. To access
it remove the right side panel. If the re tries to burn back
into the feed system or push exhaust up the feed tube, this
snap disc will shut the entire system off. This disc must be
manually reset.
19. Vacuum Switch
The vacuum switch is located at the rear of the appliance.
This switch turns the feed system on when vacuum is present
in the rebox. The vacuum switch is a safety device to shut
off the feed motor if the exhaust or the heat exchanger
system is dirty or plugged or if the rebox door is open.
