Insert
Fig. 1
The Invincible Insert is made up of three main
parts. They are the mounting shell, the wings, and
the stove insert, fig. 1.
A unique feature of this unit is the fact that
the insert can be removed from the fireplace for
service without removing the mounting shell, the
wings or disconnecting the flue pipe.
Please note that the insert extends through the
rear of the mounting shell and this distance needs
to be considered when installing the shell. The
easiest place to see this is before you remove the
unit from the skid, fig.3.
Installing the Mounting Shell
Before installation, remove the damper and
any accessories from the fireplace. It is intended
that a four inch stainless steel flex pipe shall be
connected to the pipe on the rear of the mounting
shell and extend up through the damper opening.
The pipe shall be sealed at the damper opening
with a metal plate or packed with fiberglass.
Install brass trim on wings with hardware
provided. Bolt wings to shell with button head
bolts.
Place flex pipe up through damper opening
and seal around the pipe. The pipe should be able
to slide down over the flue on the shell, and sealed
with high temp silicone.
Place shell with wings attached into the
fireplace. Level the wings in all directions with
the leveling bolts in the base of the shell. After
leveling, tighten the two 1/2" threaded rods up
against the fireplace lintel, fig. 2. Do not overtighten.

Installing Insert
Slide two four foot long wood 2 x 4's into the
bottom of the shell as shown in fig. 4. Support the
ends of the 2 x 4's by cutting two pieces the proper
height for your hearth. A cross brace between the
two supports is recommended.
Place the insert on top of the 2 x 4's and slide
back until the bottom is started onto the shell.
Unpack the control board and install. This
can be done with the wiring attached by bringing
the control through the wing from the back. The
control can be mounted from the front if the wiring
harness is disconnected and reconnected after
mounting. Be sure to put the green wires on the
stud behind the wing. This stud also has the green
wire from the power cord on it, fig 5.
Next slide the insert to within an inch of
home position. Align the latches on the sides of
the insert and slide in the rest of the way . Always
be sure no wires are being pinched. Latch the two
latches and remove the 2 x 4's. Reattach the side
panels and bottom air intake grill, fig. 6.
Place the Room Sensing Probe in the desired
location and run standard thermostat wire back to
the terminals on the left wing and connect with the
two terminals provided, fig. 7. Connect the power
cord to a 120 volt receptacle.

Operation
Starting First Fire
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a 120 volt
receptacle. This can be verified by the red power
light on the control panel.
Fill the hopper with pellets, fig. 12.
Fig. 9
Fig. 8
Fig. 10
1"
Fill the burn pot with pellets to a level just short
of overflowing, fig. 8.
Adjust feed rate. If this is your first fire or you
are trying different pellets, set the feed adjuster
to "3", fig. 9. This is a conservative number and
will probably need to be increased. After you
know a feed rate setting that works well, use
that setting. Remember too high a feed rate will
waste fuel.
Turn Mode selector to "OFF" and then to
"Stove Temp". This will turn the combustion
blower to high. When starting a fire always turn
the mode selector to "OFF" before selecting the
desired mode. This resets the control for startup.
Turn Temp Dial to 7. This will allow the stove to
burn at maximum for feed rate adjusting purposes.
Apply starting gel to pellets in burn pot and light
the gel. Close the door after lighting.
At this point the distribution and combustion lights
will be on and the feed motor light will be off.
As the temperature of the fire increases, the feed
motor light will come on and pellets will feed
into the burn pot. As the stove temperature
increases the distribution blower speed will
increase.
Fig. 10A
After 30 to 45 minutes it may be necessary to
readjust the feed rate. The feed rate should be
adjusted so there is about one inch of ash in
front of the fire, fig. 10A.

Scrape floor of burn pot with scraper to
remove any carbon build-up before
starting a new fire.
Fig. 11
When filling hopper be sure to
remove any pellets from ledge
before closing lid.
Starting a fire after pr oper
Feed Rate is known.
Clean burn pot with scraper (supplied).
Fill the hopper with pellets.
Fill the burn pot with pellets to a level just short
of overflowing.
Adjust feed rate to proper setting.
After you know what feed rate works well, then
use that setting. (For example a setting of "5"
produces 1" or more of ash on the burn pot with
the brand of pellets you are using.) Remember,
too high a feed rate will waste fuel.
Turn Mode selector to "OFF" and then to the
desired mode.
Turn Temp Dial to the desired temperature. In
Room Temp Mode this would be the outer scale
marked in degrees. In Stove Temp Mode this
would be the inner scale marked from 1 to 7.
Apply starting gel to pellets in burn pot as shown
on fig. 10 and light the gel. Close the door after
lighting.
At this point the distribution and combustion lights
will be on and the feed motor light will be off.
As the temperature of the fire increases, the feed
motor light will come on and pellets will feed
into the burn pot. As the stove temperature
increases the distribution blower speed will
increase.

Fig. 13
This setting will produce medium heat with the
distribution blower on "low".
This setting will produce a room temperature of 70
degrees with the distribution blower at medium speed.
When to use "Stove Temp
Mode"
In "Stove Temp Mode" the Stove Temp Dial
determines the temperature of the stove. Heat
output and fuel consumption will remain constant. This makes it possible to tell how long a
hopper full of pellets will last. The distribution
blower speed will vary according to the position
of the mode selector, fig. 13.
When to use "Room Temp
Mode"
In "Room Temp Mode" heat output is controlled automatically by the Room Sensing Probe.
When the Room Sensing Probe calls for heat, the
stove will increase output. When the Room Sensing Probe is getting close to the set temperature,
the stove will begin to level off output and keep the
fire burning at just the right temperature to maintain that setting.
High output is determined by the feed rate.
The maximum feed rate should be set for 1" of ash
in front of fire.
In "Room T emp Mode" fuel consumption is
sacrificed for exact room temperature. Therefore,
as it gets colder more pellets will be burned
automatically.
The distribution blower speed will vary
according to the position of the mode selector, fig.
13.
This setting will produce continuous maximum heat output
with the distribution blower at full speed.
Shut-Down Procedure
To kill the fire or stop burning the stove, Turn
the Mode Selector to "OFF". This will cause the
fire to diminish and burn out. When the fire burns
out and the stove cools down everything will stop.
If you pull the plug to shut down the stove, all
motors will stop. This may cause incomplete
combustion and smoke in the firebox. If the load
door is opened the smoke may escape.
The best way to shut down the stove is simply
let it run out of pellets, then the stove will shut
down automatically .
