IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1.Installation of this pellet/corn unit should be performed by a professional only. 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) for 20 minutes before loading corn or pellets. The stove should automatically shut itself off after the 20-minute dry run.
4.Your stove is designed to burn Premium Pellets, if using pellets instead of corn.
Pellets with high ash content will burn dirty and require the unit to be cleaned more often.
5.Be sure your corn or pellets are not damp or wet. If your corn is too damp, this stove may not be able to run on the lower Heat Range settings (the fire will die out). Be sure to keep sawdust out of the unit.
6.Use three-inch (3”) U.L.-approved CORN VENT TWIST-LOCK PIPE when installing this stove and follow the manufacturer’s specifications for installation and clearances (we highly recommend Simpson Dura-Vent corn twist-lock pipe). Even though this pipe interlocks, it is a good idea to seal all connections with high temperature silicone. Use at least three screws to secure the pipe to this unit’s exhaust blower. Also, if you do not use U.L.- approved twist-lock corn pipe, be sure to use U.L.-approved Corn Vent pipe, and fasten each joint of the pipe with at least three screws.
7.Outside combustion air is mandatory for these units 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 this pipe to a minimum. Our Part Number PU-OAK (Outside Air Kit with flex pipe) can be used.
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. Refer to “Ash Removal and Disposal” section.
10.Keep corn, pellets and all other combustible materials a safe distance from the unit.
11.This unit will require floor protection if installed on a combustible surface. The minimum floor protector for this unit is 36” x 36” which should give you at least six inches (6”) of protection at the rear and at each side, and six inches (6”) minimum in the front of the unit.
3
12.Horizontal runs should not exceed four feet (4’) with a maximum vertical flue height of thirty five feet (35’). At fifteen feet (15’), the pipe should be increased to four inch (4”) corn 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 and not disposed of until they are completely cooled.
14.Read the instructions thoroughly, including instructions concerning the digital 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.
18.Be sure to follow the directions of all manufacturers of third party products that you use, including exhaust pipe, etc. Never apply firestarter products (including gel) to a hot surface or hot coals.
19.Basement Installation: Basement installation should be performed only by a professional installer. For basement installations, a 3” (three inch) pipe and coupler must be used for Outside Combustion Air, and a minimum clearance of 3’ (three feet) must be maintained from the ground to the corn vent exhaust pipe outside the dwelling. Keep in mind that each
elbow used reduces draft by up to 30%; it is good practice to add 3’ (three feet) of vertical rise for each elbow used. Example: After the 2nd elbow used, add 6’ (six feet) of vertical rise before terminating your vent pipe.
20.DANGER! Do not open the door on this unit if the stirrer is still moving! See instructions on “Setting the Stirrer” later in this manual.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a house fire or “smokeback.” The instructions must be strictly adhered to.
Do not use makeshift methods or material which may compromise the installation.
Your unit requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (refer to manual). Failure to maintain your unit may lead to a variety of problems, including but not limited to smoke spillage into the home. England’s will not be liable for consequential or indirect damages to property or persons resulting from the use of this product.

UNIT PREPARATION
1.Attach the spring handle to the door by turning it counterclockwise. Important: Also check hopper latch – 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 unit, as the control panel is electronic).
3.Be sure to “dry run” your unit for 20 minutes before connecting it to the flue. During this time the blowers and auger will operate at different times throughout the 20-minute period (it should stop automatically after 20 minutes).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – READ BEFORE OPERATING
•When installing your corn/pellet stove, particular attention needs to be made in regards to fire protection. If the unit is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation and operation instructions provided, and if a question arises contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation requirements in your area.
•Read the Operations and Fuel section of this manual before plugging in your unit.
•Always unplug the unit before attempting any service work.
•Do not connect the unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
•When installing the chimney pipe to the unit, it is important to remember that the unit operates on negative pressure and the chimney on positive pressure. All chimney connections, elbows, and fittings must be air-tight. (Proper venting practices must be followed. Consult with a venting professional.)
•Ashes must be disposed of in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
•All minimum clearances to combustibles must be followed.
•The corn/pellet stove is tested for operation with corn with 14% or less moisture content; it is recommended that corn with 11-12% moisture be used for most efficient operation of this unit. Corn with over 12% moisture has a lower BTU value and will hard to burn on the lower settings.
•It is important to use fuel that is clean, dry and consistent. It is recommended that you purchase your entire heating season supply of fuel at one time, to make sure it is the same.
5
•Corn must be clean and free from debris; never burn corn strait from the field. Stalk parts, excessive fines and cob remnants, etc. will clog the auger mechanism. We highly recommend the use of a sifter; sifters to filter your corn are available from dealers (and we offer a sifter at www.englanderstoves.com). Damage caused by dirty and/or unfiltered (unsifted) corn is not covered by the product warranty – ask for and use clean filtered bagged corn only.
•DISCLAIMER NOTICE: No guarantee is made regarding the heating capacity of this product. The actual area that this unit will heat depends on factors such as building conditions, heat loss, type of construction, amount and type of insulation, type of air movement and heat distribution, and the location of the product.
•Important: Your home must be checked to verify that there is no negative pressure that will affect the operation of this appliance.
•IMPORTANT: DO NOT BURN “TREATED” SEED CORN IN YOUR STOVE. Seed corn is treated with chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal if swallowed; therefore, seed corn is dangerous to have in the house, especially where children can reach it. Burning treated seed corn in your stove will void your warranty and will destroy the exhaust system on the unit.
•There are many varieties of corn grown around the world. Each variety has unique characteristics including the shape and size of the kernel. Your stove will burn more consistently with a small to medium kernel corn. If the kernel size of the corn varies greatly or if you switch sources frequently, you will get a less consistent burn. Do not use corn with high wax content.
•Vacuum the hopper out after every 6-8 bags to eliminate buildup of saw dust and fines from corn.

Notes on termination of Vent Pipe (see also “FLUE SYSTEM” section of manual):
1.Not less than three (3) feet above any forced air inlet located within ten (10) feet.
2.Not less than four (4) feet below, four (4) feet horizontally from, or one (1) foot above any door, window or gravity air inlet into any building.
3.Not less than two (2) feet from an adjacent building, and not less than seven (7) feet above grade where located adjacent to public walkways.
The exhaust exit shall be arranged so that the flue gases are not directed so that it will affect people, overheat combustible structures, or enter buildings. Forced draft systems and all parts of induced draft systems under positive pressure during operation shall be installed gastight or to prevent leakage of combustion products into a building. Through-the-wall vents shall not terminate over public walkways, or where condensate or vapor could create hazards or a nuisance.
Be sure to follow local codes and all manufacturer’s instructions (including exhaust pipe). Consult a professional installer and/or call Customer Service if you have any questions.
NOTE: YOUR UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SUCH AS AN NFI CERTIFIED SPECIALIST
GUIDELINES FOR EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEMS DESIGN
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER
•A UL listed three-inch or four-inch (3”or 4”) type “PL” pellet vent exhaust system must be used for installation and attached to the pipe connector provided on the back of the unit. Use a three-inch to four-inch (3” to 4”) adapter for four-inch (4”) pipe. A cap must be used at the termination of type “L” vent chimneys. Four-inch (4”) PL is recommended for elevations above 2,500 feet above sea level.
•Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed area, such as: carports, garage, attic, crawl space, under a deck or porch, walkway or close area or any location that could build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
•Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.
•Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust vent of this unit.
•Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. Installation MUST include three (3) vertical feet of pellet vent pipe. This will create some natural draft to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during unit shutdown, and keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DO
NOT CONNECT DIRECTLY TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY.
•Distance from doors and windows, gravity or ventilation air inlet into building: not less than four feet (4 ft.) below, four feet (4 ft.) horizontally from, one foot (1 ft.) above (this does not apply if the windows are non-opening or have been fixed so they cannot open).
7
•Distance from bottom of termination and grade - one foot (1 ft.) minimum. This is conditional upon the plants and nature of the grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants, shrubs, etc. located in the vicinity of the termination. The grade must not be a lawn. Distance from bottom of termination and public walkways is seven feet (7 ft.) minimum.
•Distance to combustible materials – two feet (2 ft.). This includes adjacent buildings, fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang, plants and shrubs, etc.
•The installation must include a cleanout tee to enable the collection of fly ash and permit periodic cleaning of the exhaust system. 90° elbows accumulate fly ash and soot, thereby reducing exhaust flow and performance of the unit. Each elbow or tee reduces draft potential by up to 30%.
•Total length of horizontal vent must not exceed 48” (4 ft.). All joints in the vent system must be fastened by at least 3 screws, and all joints must be sealed with RTV silicone sealer to be air-tight.
•The “PL” vent or single wall stainless exhaust system must be installed so as to be GAS TIGHT! Follow the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions.
•The area where the vent pipe penetrates the exterior of the home must be sealed with silicone or other means to maintain the vapor barrier between the exterior and the interior of the home.
NOTE: These are guidelines only. Proper venting is accomplished by design and common sense. In most installations, three-inch (3”) diameter venting is adequate. If it does not vent properly, you will have to change it to four-inch (4”) diameter venting.
DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
8
BURNING SOLID FUELS
Ashes will need to be removed from the unit periodically. See Ash Removal section. You can minimize cleaning required and maximize efficiency by maintaining the proper draft.
This unit has been designed to burn dry shelled corn or premium hardwood pellets that meet the association of pellet fuel industry standards.
Shelled corn (dry, preferably corn with 11-12% moisture content)
Never burn “deer corn” as it frequently contains molasses/sugars.
Store your corn supply in a dry place and keep bags or container sealed to prevent your corn from absorbing excess moisture. Test the moisture content regularly to ensure proper dryness.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT BURN “TREATED” SEED CORN IN YOUR STOVE. Seed corn is treated with chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal if swallowed; therefore, seed corn is dangerous to have in the house, especially where children can reach it. Burning treated seed corn in your stove will void your warranty and will destroy the exhaust system on the unit.
WOOD PELLETS
As with corn, be consistent in your choice of wood pellet supplier. Pellets will vary in content and burn characteristics from supplier to supplier.
•Check your pellets for foreign objects. Your stove warranty will not cover any damage caused due to foreign objects in the fuel supply.
•Store your pellets in a dry place to prevent them from absorbing added moisture.
•To decrease sawdust buildup, the hopper will need to be vacuumed out after every 6-8 bags of pellets, or more often if the quality of the pellets are poor. You may need to screen each bag of pellets if the sawdust becomes a problem.
•Wood pellets vary in size and also ash content (from less than 1% to 3% or more). Your unit will burn more efficiently with small to mid-size pellets. Low ash content pellets will allow you to burn the stove longer between cleanings.
•Your unit is designed to burn pellets that are no larger than one-quarter inch (¼”) in diameter, and no longer than two and one-half inches (2 ½”) long.
CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE SUCH FUELS WITHIN THE SPACE HEATER’S INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR CHARGING AND ASH REMOVAL.
SETTING THE STIRRER
•Warning: Do not open the door on this unit if the stirrer is still moving!
Bodily Injury can occur!
The stirrer may be turned Off by pushing the “Air On” button on the bottom of the Control Panel, and then pressing the Down arrow on the “Blower Speed” until you see a “0” in the Blower Speed window.
The stirrer may be turned back On by pressing the “Air On” button on the bottom of the Control Panel, and then pressing the Up arrow on the “Blower Speed” until you see a “1” in the Blower Speed window.

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.
NOTE: See the installation drawing later in this manual (Illustration 1).
This unit is equipped with a negative draft system that pulls combustion air through the burn pot and pushes the exhaust air out of the dwelling. If this unit is connected to the flue system other than the way explained in this manual, it will not function properly. For any of these installations, keep in mind that each elbow used reduces draft by up to 30%; it is good practice to add 3’ (three feet) of vertical rise for each elbow used. Example: After the 2nd elbow used, add 6’ (six feet) of vertical rise before terminating your vent pipe.
Corn Vent Pipe
The UL approved corn 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-Vent® 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 corn pipe is designed to disassemble for cleaning and should be checked several times during the burning season — corn 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 corn pipe can be used to initially pass through the wall (see Illustration 1). 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 clearances 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 and horizontal cap will 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.
The same type installation can be used if your stove is below ground level by adding the cleanout section and vertical pipe inside until ground level is reached. However, we recommend basement installation be performed only by a professional installer. For basement installations, a 3” (three inch) pipe and coupler must be used for Outside Combustion Air, and a minimum clearance of 3’ (three feet) must be maintained outside the dwelling from the ground to the Corn Vent Exhaust Pipe.
The through-the-wall installation is the least expensive and simplest installation. In a through- the-wall installation you should be mindful of the snowdrift line, as well as dead grass and leaves. We recommend a three foot (3’) minimum vertical rise on the inside or the outside of the dwelling. Never terminate the end vent under a deck, in an alcove, under a window or between two windows.
