NEVER REDUCE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS SHOWN IN FIG. 3.1 AND FIG. 3.2.
• Prior to placing the Clarry® Pellet Stove in your structure, you must
burn the stove in for 20 minutes, to set the stove paint.
• Assemble the stove in an outdoor location according to
the directions above; bring it to operating temperature, or to the point where the paint stops smoking.
• Make sure that any time you light the stove outdoors the chimney is not
positioned directly under a low hanging tree branch or near a structure.
• Once the stove has been burned in and cooled down, it is ready to install.
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The Clarry® Pellet Stove is approved for an interior vertical through the roof installation; horizontal through the wall to exterior vertical installation and retrofit to existing masonry chimney installation.
NOTE: When using horizontal through the wall installation, floor
protection material must extend under the chimney connector (the 28 gauge stove pipe) from the back or side of stove to the wall. Floor protection width must be a minimum 2” wider on each side of chimney connector, for a total minimum width of 8”.
PRE-INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION
Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.
When determining the location of the stove, locate the ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member, but never reduce the minimum clearance dimensions shown on the next page in FIG. 3.1 and FIG. 3.2.
STOVE PLACEMENT
Place the stove on non-combustible floor protection using wall clearance dimensions for a straight (Fig. 3.1) or corner installation (Fig. 3.2)
Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (doors, drapes, etc.), 36” of any surface of the stove. Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.

The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width and depth of the heater and extending 18” in front beyond the pellet hopper and 8” outside of the legs, minimum 30˝ wide by 56˝ deep.
Minimum 1” thick with (k=0.84) (R=1.19) (BTU)(in)/(ft2)(hr)(of ).
How to determine if alternate oor protection materials are acceptable.
All floor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.). Any organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The floor protection specified includes some form of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
10.
2.) INSTALLATION: Floor Protection Requirements
PROCEDURE
1. Convert specification to R-value: i. R-value given - no conversion needed. ii. k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
iii. K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in feet:
iv. r-factor is given with a required thickness (T ) in inches: R = r x T
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector. i. Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”. ii. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.
EXAMPLE: The specified floor protector should be 3/4-inch thick material with a k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with an r-factor of 0.2 over 1/8” mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value.
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of r = 0.2, therefore:
1/8” mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore:
R
TOTA L
= R
BRICK
+ R
MINERAL BOARD
= 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231
Step (c): Compare proposed system R
TOTA L
of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed system R
TOTA L
is greater than
required, the system is acceptable.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, fire stops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper draft operation. See page 14 for chimney termination requirements.
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the Clarry® Pellet Stove, the chimney connector MUST be 4” in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 28 gauge black steel.
Aluminum and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the Clarry® Pellet Stove. These materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood pellet fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated.
DO NOT USE THE CONNECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY.
Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must be installed to the stove flue collar and to each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove. See FIG 4.
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from run­ning down the outside of the pipe or the stove top. All joints, in­cluding the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90° elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36” and a recommended total length of stove pipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope horizontal runs upward ¼” per foot toward the chimney.
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or through a floor ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the instal­lation must conform to NFPA 211, and is also addressed in this manual.

COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS
METHOD A.
12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the chimney flue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in place to the chimney flue liner.
METHOD B.
9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a 4” (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built solid-pak chimney section with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass­through with a minimum 9” (228.6 mm) air space between the outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9” (228.6 mm) air space. When fastening supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall of the solid-pak chimney). The inner end of the solid-pak chimney section shall be flush with the inside of the masonry chimney flue, and sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use this cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.
METHOD C.
2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least 12” (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 6” (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 4” [152.4 mm] chimney connector). Use this as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gage single wall steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric with and spaced 1” (25.4 mm) off the chimney connector by way of sheet metal support plates at both ends of chimney section. Cover opening with and support chimney section on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal supports. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney flue liner.
NOTES:
1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall
extend in one continuous section through the wall pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner flue liner face.
2. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof
space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling.

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS STOVE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE CAN LEAD TO “OVER FIRING” THE STOVE. IF THE SIDES OF THE FIRE CHAMBER GLOW CHERRY RED, THE STOVE IS BEING “OVER FIRED”! “OVER FIRE” CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STOVE, AND MAY RESULT IN CAUSING A FIRE AT THE SURROUNDING SURFACES.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO FIGURE 2.)
1. Fill the hopper (C) with one 40-lb. bag of “PREMIUM or Super Premium” pellets.
This unit is designed for wood pellets that comply with the standards set by the Association of the Pellet Fuel Industry (density of at least 40 lbs. per cubic foot, 1/4” to 5/16” diameter, length no greater than 1 ½”, 8200 BTU’s/lb., moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million). If the fuel does not comply with this standard, the unit may not operate as designed. Our stoves operate best using pellets with <6% moisture content.
2. Open the shut off gate (C.1), allowing the pellets to drop into position in the
firebox. Note: Tighten the setscrew (C.2) in the shut off gate to avoid misplacing the shut off gate (C.1).
3. Next, open the ash drawer (A.2). A few pellets will have fallen through the
fire grate. That’s OK. Squeeze a liberal amount of liquid gel fire starter, or stack several wax/sawdust fire sticks into the drawer, aiming at the center of the drawer. Light it with a match, then push the drawer in until you reach the first notch (A.2-2), the fire starting position and push the door (A.3) into the
notch. This is also the final burning position and will allow some air control for the fire. Make sure damper door (A.3.1) completely covers the opening in grate access door. (.3)
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WILL LEAD TO “OVER FIRING” THE STOVE. IF THE SIDES OF THE FIRE CHAMBER GLOW CHERRY RED, THE STOVE IS BEING “OVER FIRED”! “OVER FIRE” CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STOVE, AND MAY RESULT IN CAUSING A FIRE AT THE SURROUNDING SURFACES.
4. Air Control – The stove will reach maximum heating capacity with the Damper
Door (A.3.1) closing off the control air opening. Once the stove has reached full heating capacity, begin to slide the Damper Door (A.3.1) up exposing the opening in the Grate Access Door (A.3). Adjust to personal comfort. Exposing the entire 1” x 5” opening allows the stove to operate at a much lower temperature.
5. As fuel is consumed, pellets will continue to slide down into the firebox and
your fire will continue to burn. One 40-lb. bag will burn for approximately eight (8) hours.

DANGER: FIRE HAZARD AND CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
HEAT OUTPUT
Temperatures exceeding 900 degrees in the fire chamber and 500 degrees at the heat exchanger are reached in 15 minutes. Do not touch the stove, or place any combustible materials within 36 inches.
DANGER – Fire Hazard/Carbon Monoxide Hazard
1. This stove may start other fires. Never operate this stove in places without a fresh air source or in places that contain or may contain volatile and inflammable liquids or vapors. Never operate this stove where airborne combustibles or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinners, or unknown chemicals may be found.
2. This stove consumes air (oxygen) and produces carbon monoxide. Using this product in unventilated or enclosed areas, without a source of fresh air make up, may cause injury or death.
3. Carbon Monoxide poisoning may be accompanied by symptoms such as watery eyes, fatigue and dizziness. If you experience these symptoms while using this product, get fresh air immediately.
4. Ensure the stove fire is out and cool before emptying the contents. Pellet embers and ash can smolder and remain very hot for a long period time without smoke.
5. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible surface 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 disposed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
SHUTTING DOWN THE STOVE
1. Close the manual shut off gate (C.1) to keep any more pellets from sliding into the firebox. Re-tighten the set screw (C.2). The fire should go completely out in about 20 minutes.
2. Ensure the stove fire is out and cool before emptying the contents. Using the Door Latch Tool provided, remove the ash drawer to empty the ashes.
3. It is important to leave the Ash Drawer (A.2) open in the operating position notch (A.2-1) to allow air to continue to enter the firebox until the fire has completely burned all of the pellets. Closing the ash drawer prior to completely burning all of the pellets may cause the fire to smolder and put smoke into your shelter due to lack sufficient air to completely burn all of the remaining pellets.
SEE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS THAT FOLLOW, FOR PROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES.
19.
WARNING
3.) OPERATION: Operating Instructions
Page 20
CLEANING THE STOVE WHEN YOU’RE USING IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
1. After every use, remove the ash from the ash drawer.
Note: 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 has been thoroughly cooled.
2. Remove the grate daily and clean it with a wire brush.
3. Soot and Fly-ash: Formation and Need for Removal. The products of
combustion will contain small particles of fly-ash. The fly-ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the stove will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least twice every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.
4. Creosote: Formation and Need for Removal. When wood is burned slowly, it
produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
5. The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every
two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If it has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

Page 27
CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS STOVE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WILL LEAD TO “OVER FIRING” THE STOVE. IF THE SIDES OF THE FIRE CHAMBER GLOW CHERRY RED, THE STOVE IS BEING “OVER FIRED”! “OVER FIRE” CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STOVE, AND MAY RESULT IN CAUSING A FIRE AT THE SURROUNDING SURFACES.
WARNING: NEVER LEAVE A BURNING STOVE IN YOUR TENT UNATTENDED.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: SEE FIGURE 1
1. Fill the hopper (C) with one 40-lb. bag of “PREMIUM or Super Premium” grade pellets. This unit is designed for wood pellets that comply with the standards set by the Association of the Pellet Fuel Industry (density of at least 40 lbs. per cubic foot, 1/4” to 5/16” diameter, length no greater than 1 ½”, 8200 BTU’s/lb., moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million). If the fuel does not comply with this standard, the unit may not operate as designed. Our stoves operate most efficiently using pellets with <6% moisture content. Operating the stoves at elevations above 5,000 feet may require “Super Premium” pellets with <4%, or <2.5% as elevations increase.
2. Fully open the shut off gate (C.1), allowing the pellets to drop into position in the firebox. Note: Tighten the setscrew (C.2) to avoid misplacing the shut off gate (C.1).
3. Next, open the ash drawer (A.2). A few pellets will have fallen through the fire grate. That’s OK. Place several waterproof wax and sawdust fire sticks (such as Coghlans) in drawer. Light with a match, then push the drawer in until you reach the first notch (A.2-2), the fire starting position. Make sure the grate access door (A.3) fits into the notch and the damper door (A.3.1) completely covers the opening in the grate access door (A.3).
CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS STOVE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE.
4. Once the fire is burning, but always within 5 minutes, close ash drawer (A.2) down to the second notch (A.2-1) and push the door (A.3) firmly into the notch. This is the final burning position and will allow some air control for the fire. Make sure damper door (A.3.1) completely covers the opening in grate access door. (A.3)
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WILL LEAD TO “OVER FIRING” THE STOVE. IF THE SIDES OF THE FIRE CHAMBER GLOW CHERRY RED, THE STOVE IS BEING “OVER FIRED”! “OVER FIRE” CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STOVE, AND MAY RESULT IN CAUSING A FIRE AT THE SURROUNDING SURFACES.
5. Air Control- The stove will reach maximum heating capacity with the Damper Door (A.3.1) closing off the control air opening. Once the stove has reached full heating mode, usually after 30 minutes, begin to slide the Damper Door (A.3.1) up exposing the opening in the Grate Access Door. Adjust to personal comfort and set position by tightening the thumbscrew. Exposing the entire 1”x5” opening allows the stove to run at a much lower temperature.
6. As fuel is consumed, pellets will continue to slide down into the firebox and your fire will continue to burn. One 40-lb. bag will burn for approximately eight (8) hour in the RE Model stove and twelve (12) hours in the RME Model stove.
WARNING: NEVER LEAVE A BURNING STOVE IN YOUR TENT UNATTENDED.

WARNING
2.) OPERATION
Page 28
CAUTION: CLOSING THE ASH DRAWER PRIOR TO COMPLETELY BURNING ALL THE PELLETS MAY CAUSE THE FIRE TO SMOLDER AND PUT SMOKE INTO YOUR SHELTER, DUE TO LACK OF SUFFICIENT AIR TO COMPLETELY BURN ALL THE REMAINING PELLETS.
WHY WON’T MY STOVE BURN…?
1. There are only a few reasons
your stove will not light or maintain a continuous burn.
2. Pellets: (A) Old pellets from
last season, yours or a manufacturers, may have drawn moisture. (B) Pellets with >8% moisture. (C) Southern Pine Pellets. All of these circumstances will cause grate hole plugging, pellet swelling in the hopper chute or soot build up in the flue.
3. Ash Drawer: Too much ash
accumulation may restrict airflow to the burn chamber.
4. Grate: The holes in grate will
accumulate residue over time and eventually block air coming to the burn chamber, if not cleaned daily.
5. Obstructions: Obstruction may
include; grate hole plugging, exhaust collar and flue pipe soot build up, pellet swelling in the hopper chute, partially open hopper shut-off gate and any flue cap installed on top of the flue pipe, other than a directional wind cap.
“BURNING IN THE STOVE”
• Prior to placing the Clarry® Pellet Stove in your structure, you must
burn the stove in for 20 minutes, to set the stove paint.
• Assemble the stove in an outdoor location according to
the directions above; bring it to operating temperature, or to the point where the paint stops smoking.
• Make sure that any time you light the stove outdoors the chimney is not
positioned directly under a low hanging tree branch or near a structure.
• Once the stove has been burned in and cooled down, it is ready to install.
CONTINUOUS OPERATION
It is extremely important to do the following maintenance during periods of continuous operation:
1. Check ash drawer build up. It is best to empty daily
2. Remove and wire brush clean the grate daily
3. Remove, check and clean the first section of flue pipe
and exhaust collar if any soot residue appears.
SHUTTING DOWN THE STOVE
1. Close the manual shut off gate (C.1) to keep any further pellets from sliding into the firebox. Re-tighten the setscrew (C.2) to secure gate in the closed position.
2. It is important to leave the Ash Drawer (A.2) open in the operating position notch (A.2-1), to allow air to continue to enter the firebox, until the fire has completely burned all the pellets.
CAUTION: CLOSING THE ASH DRAWER PRIOR TO COMPLETELY BURNING ALL THE PELLETS MAY CAUSE THE FIRE TO SMOLDER AND PUT SMOKE INTO YOUR SHELTER, DUE TO LACK OF SUFFICIENT AIR TO COMPLETELY BURN ALL THE REMAINING PELLETS.
3. Make sure the fire is completely out and cool before emptying the contents of the ash drawer.
