IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1.Check local installation codes for your area. Call your Homeowner’s Insurance representative for inspection of your stove’s installation.
2.Read and comply with the instructions in this manual.
3.This unit should be tested (dry run) before loading pellets for 30 minutes. The stove should automatically shut itself off after the 30-minute dry run.
4.Your stove is designed to burn Premium Hardwood Pellets. Pellets with a high ash content will burn dirty and the unit will need cleaning more often.
5.Be sure your pellets are not damp or wet. Keep sawdust out of the unit.
6.Use three-inch (3”) U.L.-approved PELLET VENT TWIST-LOCK PIPE when installing this unit and follow the manufacturer’s specifications for installation and clearances (we highly recommend Simpson Dura-Vent pellet twist-lock pipe). Even though this pipe interlocks, it is advisable to seal all connections with high temperature silicone. Use at least 3 screws to secure the pipe to the unit’s exhaust blower. Also, if you do not use U.L.-approved twist-lock pellet pipe, be sure to use U.L.-approved Pellet Vent pipe, and fasten each joint of the pipe with at least 3 screws.
7.An outside combustion air connection is mandatory for this unit to work properly. Make this connection using a 1 7/8” I.D. metal pipe (steel, aluminum or copper) and coupler. Be sure to secure the pipe to the unit with a clamp or aluminum tape. The outside end should be covered (screened) to prevent any foreign matter from entering the system. Try to keep the number of bends in the pipe to a minimum. Our Part Number PU-OAK (Outside Air Kit with flex pipe) can be used. It can be purchased from your dealer, or by calling (800) 516-3636 or logging on to www.englandsstoveworks.com . NOTE: If the total run of the connection exceeds 6’, use 3” metal pipe (and coupler) instead.
8.Regularly inspect the burn pot area and, if any crust forms, remove it with a poker.
9.The ash in the burn pot should be removed regularly, depending on your burn rate. The area to the right and left of the burn pot is for ash storage; keep the air holes in the burn pot clean for a more efficient burn. Check your exhaust system frequently. I
10.Keep pellets and all other combustible materials a safe distance from the stove.
11.This unit will require floor protection if it is installed on a combustible surface.
The minimum floor protector for this stove is 31” x 32” which should give you at least one inch (1”) of protection at the rear, four inches (4”) on each side and six inches (6”) minimum in the front of the unit.
12.Horizontal runs should not exceed four feet (4’) with a max. vertical flue height of thirtyfive feet (35’). At fifteen feet (15’), the pipe should be increased to 4” pellet vent pipe.
13.This unit should be turned off and allowed to cool prior to cleaning. Any ashes should be kept in an airtight metal container completely away from all combustibles and should not be disposed of until they are completely cooled.
14.Read the instructions thoroughly concerning the various settings that are available, Including the digital read-out control board, and save them for future reference.
15.Do not allow paint, chemicals or construction dust on or near your unit. Do not allow liquid or ANY foreign materials on or inside your unit. Shut your unit down and cover it when painting, construction or similar activity is taking place. Wipe and clean your unit after any construction is done in your home, or if any foreign material gets on or inside your unit. You may also need to remove the rear and side cover plates to your unit (unplug unit first) and vacuum and clean the motors and inside of your unit.
16.Improper gasket maintenance, including failure to replace gaskets, can cause air leaks resulting in smoke-backs.
17.Remember that, as with any appliance, there is user responsibility involved, including installation, operation and maintenance of this product. Be sure to check local codes, and call Customer Service at (800) 245-6489 if you have any questions.

NOTES:
UNIT PREPARATION
1. Attach the spring handle to the door by turning it counterclockwise.
Important: Hopper Latches must be tight so that the top is sealed to prevent back-burn.
2.Test your 110-volt outlet for current and then plug in the unit. (We highly recommend a surge protector for our pellet unit, as the control panel is electronic).
3.It is important to note that this stove is equipped with a dual auger system. The top auger runs intermittently and drops pellets to the bottom auger; the bottom auger runs constantly and simply pushes the pellets forward to the burn pot. The control board (“Heat Range”) setting determines the top auger feed rate.
4.The stove has a digital read-out control board and is started by pressing the “ON” touch pad. This will start the upper auger, bottom auger and exhaust
blower. (The room air blower will start later as the stove reaches the pre-set blower temperature – see “Control Board” section for further explanation.)
5.Check to be sure both augers and the exhaust blower are operating before
connecting the unit to the flue system. Be sure to “dry run” your unit for 30 minutes before connecting it to the flue (it should automatically stop after 30 minutes).
FLUE SYSTEM
Caution: Follow the pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions and directions for passing through combustible walls and ceilings.
Be sure to check local codes in your area.
Must have minimum 3” adapter before tee for longer run.
For shorter run (such as Masonry Connection below), tee alone is acceptable.
Illustration 1
Our Part AC-3000 is acceptable for through-the-wall installation.
(AC-3100 for 4000 feet+ installations)
Masonry Connection
1.If 3” flue pipe exceeds 15’ in length, increase to 4” flue pipe for remaining flue connections.
2.Total flue length should not exceed 35’.
3.Horizontal run not to exceed 4’.
4.Floor protector required: Min. size 31” x 32”.
5.If the total run of outside air connection exceeds 6’, or if more than 2 elbows are used, use 3” metal pipe (and coupler) instead.
6.Outside Air is mandatory for proper safe operation.
This unit is equipped with a negative draft system that pulls air through the burn pot and pushes the exhaust out of the dwelling. If this unit is connected to a flue system other than the way explained in this manual, it will not function properly.
Pellet Vent Pipe
The UL approved pellet vent pipe that we recommend is a twist lock system; however, it is still recommended that high temperature silicone be used at each joint. England’s Stove Works recommends the use of Simpson Dura-Ventâ twist-lock pipe (if you use other pipe, consult your local building codes and/or building inspectors, and secure each joint with at least three screws—see Important Information, above). Do not use “B” vent gas pipe or galvanized pipe with this unit. The pellet pipe is designed to disassemble for cleaning and should be checked several times during the burning season. Pellet vent pipe is not furnished with the unit and must be purchased separately.
Do not install a flue damper of any kind in this system and do not connect this unit to a flue system serving another heating appliance.
Through the Wall
To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter is at least eighteen inches (18”) above ground level, a straight section of pellet vent pipe can be used through the wall. Your dealer or our factory should be able to provide you with a kit that will handle most of this installation, which will include a wall thimble that will allow the proper clearance through a combustible wall. Once outside the structure, a three-inch (3”) clearance should be maintained to the outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed on the pipe that extends through the wall. We recommend a minimum of three feet (3’) of vertical pipe with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At this point a one-foot (1’) section should be added with a horizontal cap, which would complete the installation (see Illustration 1).
A wall strap should be placed just below the last 90-degree section to make the system more stable. If you live in an area that has heavy snowfall it is recommended the installation be taller than three feet (3’) to get above the snowdrift line. This same installation can be used if your stove is below ground level by simply adding the cleanout section and vertical pipe inside until ground level is reached. With this installation you have to be aware of the snowdrift line, dead grass and leaves. We recommend a three foot (3’) minimum vertical rise on the inside or outside of the house.
The through-the-wall installation is the least expensive and simplest installation. Never terminate the end vent under a deck, in an alcove, under a window or between two windows. Call (800) 516-3636 to inquire about our AC-3000 Pellet Vent Kit.
Through the Ceiling
When venting the stove through the ceiling, the pipe is connected the same as through the wall, except the clean-out tee is always on the inside of the house, and a 3” adapter is added before the clean-out tee. You must use the proper ceiling support flanges and roof flashing that are supplied by the pipe manufacturer--follow the pipe manufacturer’s directions and Illustration 1 in this manual. It is important to note that if your vertical runs of pipe are more than fifteen feet (15’) at this point, the pellet vent pipe size should be increased to four inches (4”) in diameter. Do not exceed four feet (4’) of
pipe on a horizontal run, and do attempt to use the least number of elbows for your flue *IMPROPER INSTALLATION: The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage
system. If an offset is used, it is better to install a 45-degree elbow whenever possible. caused by the malfunction of a stove due to improper venting or installation. Call
NOTE: Installing elbows may inhibit your draft by up to 15% per elbow.
(800-245-6489) and/or consult a professional installer if you have any questions.
NOTE on Mobile Home Installation:
Existing Flue System
Secure the heater to the floor using the two holes in the pedestal. If the unit is on a combustible surface, you will need to drill matching holes in the floor protection that you choose (see Floor Protection section). Do not disturb the structural integrity of the home, and be sure the unit is permanently electrically grounded to the chassis of your home. Remember that outside combustion air is mandatory, and not to install the unit in a sleeping room of the home.
If you are replacing a wood stove with a pellet unit the chimney or pipe should be cleaned thoroughly before proceeding with the installation. The flue system should be either masonry or a UL approved pre-manufactured Class A flue system. The flue thimble or pipe will be either six inches (6”) or eight inches (8”) and the proper reducer (6” to 3” or 8” to 3”) and can be purchased or ordered by your local dealer. Connect a three inch (3”) tee with clean-out to the pipe adapter -- seal this with a high temperature stove cement, then extend the pipe to the installed reducer at your thimble. If the thimble is in the ceiling the pipe will go straight up, but if the thimble is in the wall another 90-degree elbow will be required to make the connection.
Outside Air Intake
Outside air is mandatory for this unit to operate properly. This unit has been designed and tested with this connection, because so many homes are airtight and there is not adequate combustion air available from inside the home. The air intake pipe is located at the rear of the burn pot and measures one and one half inches (1 ½”) inside diameter (I.D.). This connection can be made with 1 7/8” I.D. metal pipe and coupler, and should exit through the wall. Be sure to secure the pipe to the unit with a clamp or aluminum tape. The outside end of the pipe should be covered (screened) to prevent foreign matter from entering the system. Our Outside Air Kit (Part Number PU-OAK) can be used. If your unit is located below ground level, you will need to run the pipe up and then outside the dwelling. NOTE: If the total run of the connection exceeds 6’, use 3” metal pipe (and coupler) instead.
FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION
Floor Protection
If your floor is constructed of a non-combustible material such as brick or concrete there is no need for floor protection. If your floor is constructed of a combustible material such as hardwood, linoleum or carpet, then you will be required to use floor protection between the unit and the combustible. The protection that is chosen should be UL approved or equal, and should be large enough to provide a minimum of one inch (1”) behind and four inches (4”) on both sides of the stove. The clearance in front of the stove should be at least six inches (6”). This freestanding pellet unit will need a minimum 31” x 32” floor protector.
Wall Protection
From the rear and sides of the stove only six inches (6”) of clearance is required to paneling, wallpaper or sheet rock. The pellet vent pipe would require the standard three inches (3”) clearance, or as recommended by the pipe manufacturer. Normally, additional wall protection is not required with this unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not operate with the door open; open door only when lighting.
Do not burn trash (paper bags, etc.) in this unit.
This stove has an induced draft system and is designed to operate continuously, as frequent shutdown is not required. The digital control board allows the stove to operate by a time delay-relay system; this system controls the top auger feed rate by operating for a predetermined number of seconds, while the bottom auger operates constantly.
The setting of the “Heat Range” touch pad will control the heat output and the amount of pellets the unit will burn (see Ill. 2). Note: This stove is using solid fuel and will not restart automatically.
