Dear PELPRO Pellet Stove Owner:
CONGRATULATIONS on the purchase of your PELPRO wood pellet appliance! You have selected the finest in
residential wood pellet heating technology.
Let us pass on a few "tips" concerning installing your stove and heating with wood pellets.
1. Whether you install your stove yourself or hire a professional installer, a quality installation is a must for the safety of your family and for efficient, satisfactory operation of your stove.
2. Initial Burn Setup of the stove is the most important step to ensure the efficient and satisfactory
operation of your appliance for many years to come.
3. Know the quality and characteristics of the pellets you burn. Pellets can vary greatly from
company to company, from load to load and occasionally from bag to bag.
4. Be extra diligent in your cleaning program.
5. Remember that most operational dilemmas with a pellet stove are usually traced back to
Improper installation, poor quality pellets and/or a lack of timely cleaning.
With just a minimum of daily care your PELPRO pellet appliance will provide years of clean, efficient, comfortable
and environmentally sound heating.
Thank you for selecting a PELPRO wood pellet appliance.
Sincerely,
Canadian Comfort Industries &
Dansons Group Inc.

means without the expressed written permission of,
o Do not operate the heater if you smell smoke coming from the heater. Push the “OFF” Touch pad,
monitor your heater, and call your dealer.
o 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 it is in use.
o Don’t unplug the heater if you suspect a malfunction. Push the “OFF” Touch pad and inspect the heater.
o Do not operate the heater if the flame becomes dark & sooty or if the firepot overfills with pellets. Push the
”OFF” Touch pad and periodically inspect the heater (see ”Operating Your Stove”).
o Never try to repair or replace any part of the heater unless instructions for consumer are given in this manual.
All other work should be done by a trained technician.
o The viewing door and ash pan must be closed and latched during operation.
o Never block free airflow through the open vents of the unit.
o Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or
inspection requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this heater as well.
o The pellet appliance exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly
positive chimney pressure, therefore the exhaust system must be completely airtight and properly installed.
All pellet vent joints must be sealed with HI-TEMP RTV silicone sealant and at least 3 sheet metal screws, to
each other as well as to the heater.
o This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a house fire. The instructions must be strictly
adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods, which may compromise the installation.
o Your heater requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (see ”Operating Your Stove”). Failure to maintain
your heater may lead to smoke spillage in your home.
o Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible surface
or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
o This heater is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this
heater will void the warranty and safety listing.
o The heater will not operate during a power outage. If a power outage does occur, check the heater for smoke
spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into the room.
o Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance. NOTE: Touching the OFF touch pad does not
disconnect all power to the heater.
oDo not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance
instructions that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.
o Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. Because this heater can
be controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on and igniting any
items placed on or near it.
o This heater must be connected to a standard 110 - 120V., 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not
use an adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord underneath,
in front of, or over the heater.
o It is recommended to connect the heater to a standard 110 – 120V ground surge protected unit or
surge protected electrical outlet..
o When installed in a mobile home, the heater must be bolted to the floor, have outside air, and MUST
NOT BE INSTALLED IN THE BEDROOM (Per H.U.D. requirements). Check with local building officials.
o Educate all children on the dangers of a high-temperature heater.
o Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the heater.
o Caution: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER. Pellet fuel is fed to the burn pot by a screw auger that is
driven by a high torque motor. The auger can start and stop automatically anytime while the heater is
operating.
o Do not connect this appliance directly to air ducts or any air distribution system. This will void your warranty.
o Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper combustion
air is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the
slide damper located on the right hand side of the appliance.
o It is advisable to clean the exhaust vent bi-annually or every two tons of pellets.
o Soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an extremely
rich burn (black tipped, lazy orange flames).
Note: Canadian Comfort Industries grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or
maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).

EPA COMPLIANCE
This heater is exempt from EPA Phase II requirements, but has been tested for emissions using EPA test methods
by Warnock Hersey , US.
FUEL CONSIDERATIONS
Your Pelpro pellet appliance, is designed to burn pellets that comply with Association of Pellet Fuel Industries
standards. (Minimum of 40lbs density per cubic ft, ¼ to 5/16’ diameter length no greater than 1.5”, not less than
8,200 BTU’s/lb, moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million)
Pellets that are soft, contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust, have been or are wet, produce clinkers and/or
heavy ash will result in reduced performance and may actually cause the fire to go out.
Your pellet appliance has a high temperature limit switch installed. If the temperature at the back of the firebox
reaches approximately 250deg F., the switch will shut off the electricity going to the Vacuum Switch and to the
Auger Motor. The auger will automatically stop, and the appliance will shut down when the exhaust temperature
cools (120deg F). If this happens call your dealer or Dansons Customer Service (1-866-456-9269).
IT IS IMPORTANT TO FIND THE REASON WHY THE UNIT OVERHEATED.
L120 LOW LIMIT SWITCH
This limit switch is mounted on the exhaust blower housing and has 2 main functions.
1. Should the fire happen to go out, for any reason, this limit switch will shut the stove off when the exhaust
temperature drops below 120deg F.
2. Upon starting the appliance, the AcuTron control board has a 15 minute “Lighting Mode”, if the stove
exhaust does not reach 120deg F in that 15 minutes the stove will shut off. As soon as the stove exhaust
F140 FAN LIMIT SWITCH
Your pellet appliance has a convection fan control limit switch. The room air fan's (F140) temperature limit snap
switch automatically sets the fan on high when your stove is producing heat faster than the fan is carrying it into the
room. This may occur when the heat control lever is set at [3 or 4] and the FAN SPEED is set to a very low or off
setting. After the fan runs at this
automatic high setting a few minutes,
it may cycle back to its lower setting
and may continue to cycle between
[HIGH] and your selected setting.
The circulation (room air) fan cycling
from high to low is a normal condition
as well as a safety feature of your
appliance. To compensate for the fan
cycling, adjust the FAN SPEED to a
higher setting.
VACUUM SWITCH
This safety device (mounted on the
back panel pillar) detects vacuum in
the exhaust system, firebox, and air
intake. If the exhaust blower fails, the
vent pipe becomes plugged, the
viewing door is open, or if you are out
of pellets, this switch will sense that
there is no airflow and will stop the
auger from continuing to feed pellets.
If the power does go out, the pellet appliance will stop running. When the power comes back on,
the stove will not restart if the switch is in the manual mode. If the exhaust temperature is above
120deg F or the switch is in the manual position, the stove will start to feed pellets again and may
re-light itself.
NOTE: If power outages are a concern you may wish to purchase a battery back-up system. It must state “For
Igniter Equipped Appliance” and be a minimum of 750 watts.
For further information contact your local Specialty Retailer, Certified HVAC Service Depot, or Dansons
Group Inc. Customer Service Department at 1-866-456-9269.
does reach 120deg F, the limit switch opens and the AcuTron enters a 5 minute “Safety Delay” mode.
