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 20 minutes. The stove should
automatically shut itself off after the 20-minute dry run.
4. Your stove is designed to burn Premium Pellets. Pellets with high ash content will burn
dirty and require the unit to be cleaned 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
stove 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
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 pellet pipe, be sure to use U.L.-approved Pellet 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. It
can be purchased from your dealer, or by calling (800) 516-3636 or logging on to
www.englandsstoveworks.com
. NOTE: If an older unit, measure the opening to determine
what size pipe to use. 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 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 each side, and six inches (6”) minimum in the front
of the unit.
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”) pellet vent pipe.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a house fire or
“smoke-back.” 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 conse
q
uential or indirect dama
g
es to
p
ro
p
ert
y
or
p
ersons resultin
g
from the use of this
p
roduct.
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 use gasoline, lantern fuel, charcoal lighter
fluid, diesel fuel or any other flammable liquid to start the fire. If you manually start
your unit, recommended fire starter materials are: Wax-impregnated wood chips,
cardboard cubes or firestarter gel designed for pellet stoves (see section on Manually
Starting Unit). Follow any manufacturer’s directions for these products, and NEVER
place gel or any firestarter on any hot surface or hot coals. Never apply any
firestarter products of any kind to a hot surface or hot coals.
19. Basement Installation: 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 from the ground to the pellet vent exhaust pipe outside the dwelling. Keep in
mind that each elbow used reduces draft by 15%; it is good practice to add 3’ (three feet) of
vertical rise for each elbow used. Example: After the 2
nd
elbow used, have 6’ (six feet) of
vertical rise before terminating your vent pipe.
UNIT PREPARATION
1. Attach the spring handle to the door by turning it counterclockwise. Important: Also check
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 20 minutes
before connecting it to the flue (it should stop automatically after 20 minutes).
Proper Impingement (Baffle) Plate Placement
in Pellet Stove Firebox
Occasionally in shipping, the impingement (baffle) plate may shift out of its proper
position. If this is the case with your stove, follow these instructions to return the plate
to its proper position.
1. Remove the plate from the stove, holding the plate by its tab handle, with the
cutout notch facing upwards.
2. Turn the notched end into the doorway (as shown above), and lift the plate up to
allow the bottom of the plate to fit in the doorway.
3. Let the bottom of the plate rest on the firebox, and then push the bottom of the
plate flush against the back wall of the firebox. At this point, the plate will lean
forward (toward the front of the stove) slightly, and will come in contact with the
front of the stove above the door.
4. Finally, center the plate on the firebox, so that it will be centered above the fire
when the stove is in operation.

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 15%; it is
good practice to add 3’ (three feet) of vertical rise for each elbow used. Example: After the 2
nd
elbow used, have 6’ (six feet) of vertical rise before terminating your vent pipe.
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-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 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 pipe can be used to initially pass through the wall (see Ill. 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
clean-out 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 Pellet 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. Call (800) 516-3636 to inquire about the AC-3000 Through-the-Wall 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 supplied by
the pipe manufacturer -- follow the pipe manufacturer’s directions and Illustration 1in 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 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 in the
flue system. If an offset is used it is better to install a 45-degree elbow whenever possible.
Please remember, installing elbows may inhibit your draft by up to 15% per elbow.
Existing Flue System
If you are replacing a wood stove with a pellet unit the chimney or pipe should be thoroughly
cleaned 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 should be either six
inches (6”) or eight inches (8”) and the proper reducer (6” to 3” or 8” to 3”) can be purchased at
your local dealer. Connect a three inch (3”) tee with clean-out to the pipe adapter -- seal this
with high temperature stove cement, then extend your pipe to the installed reducer at the
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 (Outside Combustion 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 inside the dwelling. The air intake pipe is located on the bottom side of
the burn pot (from the rear) and measures 1 ½” inside diameter (I.D.). The connection can be
made with a metal 1
7
/
8
” I.D. coupler and pipe (see “Important Information” section of manual),
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 the
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’, if more than 2 elbows are used,
or if a basement installation, use 3” metal pipe (and coupler) instead. Note
: If an older unit,
measure the opening to determine what size pipe to use or couple to.
Mobile Home Installation
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.
Important Notes Concerning Installation:
*IMPROPER INSTALLATION: The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage
caused by the malfunction of a stove due to improper venting or installation. Call
(800-245-6489) and/or consult a professional installer if you have any questions.
IMPORTANT: Improper hook-up (too much pipe, too many elbows, etc.) will
cause the unit not to operate. Call Customer Service (800-245-6489) if you have
questions about your hook-up or if your unit will not operate.
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 the 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 should be U.L. approved or equal, and should be large
enough to provide a minimum of six inches (6”) behind and 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 36” x 36” floor protector.
Wall Protection
From the rear and the sides of this stove only six inches (6”) of clearance is required to
paneling, wallpaper or drywall. The pellet vent pipe would require the standard three inches (3”)
clearance, or as recommended by the manufacturer. Normally additional wall protection is not
required with this type unit.
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 36” x 36”.
5. If the total run of outside air connection exceeds 6’, if more than 2 elbows are used, or if a
basement install, use 3” metal pipe (and coupler) instead.
