1 Introduction

1.1 About Pellet Heating

Pellet stoves offer a dramatic improvement in the convenience of heating with solid fuel.
Wood pellets are handled in bags and are therefore easily and cleanly stored. A single
loading of a pellet stove can provide long hours of warmth. Pellet stoves also provide a
special comfort associated with wood burning. The combination of fans delivering warm air
currents and the direct comfort of radiant heat provides special satisfaction on a cold winter
day. The heat provided is even and constant, due to the auto fuel feed responding to owner
settings. Pellet stoves also offer strong environmental benefits; pellets not only reduce
dependence on finite supplies of fossil fuels like oil and gas, but they also put to good use
materials that would otherwise unnecessarily and expensively add to our waste disposal
problems.

In addition, pellet stoves burn very cleanly and offer the lowest emissions of unwanted
pollutants of all solid fuel burning appliances.

1.1.1 Top 10 Reasons for Buying a Pellet Stove

 Fuel is relatively cheap, easy to handle and store

 Installation is relatively inexpensive and flexible

 Can be thermostatically controlled

 Can run for long hours without the need to refuel

 Heat output is steady because fuel feed is regulated

 Provides powerful convection heat

 Has the lowest emissions of all solid fuels

 Reduces our dependence on fossil fuels

 Pellets are a renewable fuel

 Wood pellets are made of 100% residual matter (saw dust). This creates added-value

from waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

3 Clearances to Combustible Material

The clearances shown in this section have been determined by tests according to procedures
set out in safety standards ULC S627 (Canada), ASTM E1509 (U.S.A). When the pellet stove
is installed so that its surfaces are at, or beyond, the minimum clearances specified,
combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating
conditions.

WARNING: NO PART OF THE STOVE MAY BE LOCATED CLOSER TO COMBUSTIBLES
THAN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES SPECIFIED ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL.

CAUTION: NO PART OF THE PELLET VENT SYSTEM MAY BE LOCATED CLOSER TO
COMBUSTIBLES THAN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT
MANUFACTURER.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT MATERIALS OR MAKE ANY COMPROMISES
WHEN INSTALLING THIS STOVE.

3.1 Certification Label Location

Since the information given on the certification label affixed to the stove always overrides the
information published in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines
and/or web sites), it is important to refer to it in order to have a safe and compliant
installation. In addition, you will find important information about your stove (model, serial

Eco-65 Installation and Operation Manual

4 Venting system

4.1 General

Even though the chimney draft is mechanical, a suitable venting system will ensure a natural
draft which will prevent smoke spillage in your home if a power outage occurs. Moreover, a
suitable venting system configuration will help getting the best efficiency out of your stove
when installed in accordance with the required EVL (see Section 4.3: Equivalent Vent
Length (EVL)).

Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to
a suitable venting system.

4.2 Recommendations

In Canada, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the CAN/ULC S609 or
ULC/ORD C441 Standard. A pellet vent listed to ULC S629M is also suitable for installation
with this stove.

For the United States, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the UL 641
Standard. A pellet vent listed to UL 103 is also suitable for installation with this stove.

This stove can be vented in an existing factory-built or masonry chimney with the addition of
a stainless steel liner, provided the chimney is more than 4” in diameter. The liner should be
listed and should meet the ULC S635 CAN/ULC S640 standard in Canada and the UL 1777
standard in the USA. Refer to the instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially
when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.

4.3 Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)

Recommended venting system inner pipe diameter is 4”.

To calculate the EVL of your installation, use the following conversions:

Qty Type of pipe

1 90° elbow or “T” 5

1 45° elbow 3

1 ft Horizontal pipe run 1

1 ft Vertical pipe run 0.5

EVL

equivalent(ft)

NOTE: Horizontal runs shall not exceed 9 feet.
NOTE: Never exceed 30 feet of EVL.

Here is an example to help you calculate Equivalent Vent Length. On the following figure the
EVL can be calculated like this:

14

Eco-65 Installation and Operation Manual

 2 horizontal run of 1’ = (2 X 1’) X 1’ = 2’ of EVL

 1 elbow 90° or "Tee" = 5’ of EVL

 3 vertical length of 4’ = (3 X 4’) X 0.5’ = 6’ of EVL

 Total EVL = (2’ + 5’ + 6’) = 13’.

NOTE: Do not include the exterior wall termination in the EVL calculation (45° elbow
and termination).

For example, let’s imagine an installation consisting of a
horizontal vent coming out at the back of the stove on a total
distance of 8 feet. This horizontal run is followed by a tee and a
6-foot vertical rise. This type of installation is not acceptable. As
you can see, the vent termination is clearly outside the allowed
configuration zone on the chart because the venting system
proposed does not have at least one foot of vertical rise for
each foot of horizontal run.

Instead, if the installation consisted of a horizontal vent coming
out at the back of the stove on a total distance of 4 feet,
followed by a tee and a 6-foot vertical rise, it would be
acceptable. The installation end should be within the allowable
configuration zone on the chart since it would have at least one
foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run. Furthermore,
the total vertical rise would be at least 3-foot high.

O.K.

15

Eco-65 Installation and Operation Manual

WARNING: To reduce the risk of smoke spillage there should always be at least one
foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run. In all cases, at least 3 feet of vertical
rise is needed.

4.4 Termination Location

Termination should not be located so that
hot exhaust gases can be a hazard. They
can reach temperatures of 500°F (260°C)
and cause serious burns.

CAUTION: TERMINATION COLLAR
(SPARK ARRESTER) IS MANDATORY.

16

4.7.1 Zone Heating and How to Make It Work for You

Your new pellet stove is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is
installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This
is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within
homes.

Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular
space within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat
source.

Although the stove may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate
temperature, this stove must serve as a supplementary heat source. You should have a
conventional oil, gas or electric additional heating system to provide heating in the home. The
manufacturer cannot be responsible for additional heating costs associated with the use of an
alternative heat source in case of stove failure or power outage.

Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors: Proper stove size, stove
location, heating area, house layout, insulation and your climate zone.

4.8 Combustible

4.8.1 Proper Fuel

Each type of pellet has its properties and will burn differently. The amount of ashes produced
can also vary greatly. Conventional pellets are those ¼” or 5/16” in diameter and not over 1”
long. Longer or thicker pellets will affect the constancy of pellet feed.

For example, if the pellets are very short, they will have more ease to accumulate and pile
into the feed screws. Thus, the volume of pellets will be denser, which will lead to an increase
in BTU. By contrast, longer pellets will pile less so the BTU will be reduced.

The bottom-feed system of this stove is designed and tested specifically for use with wood
pellets.

Eco-65 Installation and Operation Manual

4.8.2 Where to Store Bags of Pellets

We recommend that you store your bags of pellets in a dry and well ventilated area if
possible. Using dry pellets will increase the performance of your stove. You may want to have
a bag or two in the same room as your stove for refueling but make sure to respect the
minimum clearances to combustible materials and the space required for refilling and ash
removal.

5 Stove Controls

5.1 Control Panel

The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a control panel (A) on the right­hand side of the ECO-65. The control panel functions are as follows:

28

Eco-65 Installation and Operation Manual

Control panel screen

Operation mode :
OFF
MANUAL

Button to select
between modes

Button to change the
convection fan speeds

Pellet burn rate

Button + and – allows

(optional)

Button to clear

most error codes

Button to feed and start

when the auger is empty

5.1.1 Mode Button

When the mode switch is pressed, you will be able to choose the Manual or the Thermostat
mode, or to turn off the appliance. If the Manual mode is selected, the stove will automatically
ignite. At this time, the heat level must be selected manually to adjust the stove’s heat output
to the desired level. If the thermostat mode is selected, the stove will automatically modulate
between the lowest heat level and the heat level selected to keep the room temperature at

the thermostat’s setting (see Section 6.6.1: Pilot mode selection). No fire starter is

necessary to ignite the unit. The auger will feed fuel and the electric igniter will start. If the
unit doesn’t ignite within 12 minutes, the stove will start another ignition cycle. If ignition fails
a second time, a warning message will appear on the control panel.

The Heat Level may be selected during the ignition cycle. However, the unit will only feed fuel
at the desired heat level setting when the heat sensor located into the stove will receive a
signal indicating that the unit has been fully ignited. This may take anywhere between 10 and
15 minutes.

29

Eco-65 Installation and Operation Manual

5.1.2 Fuel Feed Button

When the “Fuel Feed” button is pushed the stove will feed pellets continuously into the burn
pot during 1 minute and then the ignition cycle will begin. The “Feed and Start” message will
appear.

Use this option when you start your stove for the first time in the season or when the stove
has run out of pellets, i.e. the hopper is empty. The auger will turn and then the stove will
start automatically an ignition cycle.

CAUTION: THIS FUNCTION CAN ONLY BE OPERATED WHEN THE STOVE IS IN “OFF”
POSITION. THE FUEL FEED SWITCH IS USED TO PRIME THE AUGER WHEN AUGER
IS EMPTY.

5.1.3 Convection Fan Speed Control

The convection fan can be adjusted to 9 predetermined speeds. By pressing on AUX, the
message FAN followed by a number between 1 to 9 will appear on the screen. It will be
possible to modify the blower speed by pressing on the + or the -. Take note that not all fan
ranges are available, but the speed of the convection blower is consistent with the requested
burn rate.

5.1.4 Heat Level

By pressing + or -, you can set the pellet feed rate and hence the heat output of your stove.
The levels of heat output will incrementally change and each LED indicates the level from 1
to 6.

5.1.5 Reset

The reset button has to be used to clear most warnings on the control panel and restart your
stove (see Section 6.6: Operating the Stove Using a Thermostat and Section 8.3: Main

Error Codes, Possible Causes and Solutions).
