. Design, Installation & Location
Getting Started
Considerations
Installation and service of this appliance should be
performed by qualified personnel. Hearth & Home
Technologies recommends NFI certified professionals, or technicians supervised by an
NFI certified professional.
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic
flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and
chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor
protection, before actually beginning the installation.
If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance
in a location to maintain a clear passage for the installation
of any listed and approved pellet venting system. This appliance may be vented vertically or horizontally.
Maintain specified vent clearance to comubstible requirements listed by the pellet manufactures venting instructions
and all clearance to combustivles listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin
your installation. Be sure local building codes do not supersede UL specifications and always obtain a building permit
so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly
cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation,
please contact your local dealer.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after installation.
B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles.
Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain
the designated air space clearance around the chimney.
This space around a chimney is necessary to allow
natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this
space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood
framing. NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by
means approved by the regulatory authority having
jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of
your home to ensure your safety. They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,
and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher
to contend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least
2 escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows:
In the event of a hopper fire:
a. Evacuate the house immediately.
b. Notify fire department.
2. Thermostat Location
The thermostat’s location will have some effect on the
appliance’s operation. When the thermostat is located close
to the appliance, it may require a slightly higher temperature
setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the
thermostat location is in an adjacent room or on a different
floor level, you will notice higher temperatures near the
appliance.
CAUTION
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distributon duct or system.

B. Venting Termination Requirements
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be
vented vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all listed pellet vent. If
using the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit
or the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter,
use listed double wall flue connector. A Quadra-Fire
Outside Air Kit must be used with manufactured home
installations.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent
Adapter Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent
Offset Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall
flue connector or listed double wall flue connector to
Class A listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys
meeting ICBO standards for solid fuel appliances.
4
. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least 3 screws through each joint.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever
possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone
(500°F [260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled field corn, you must use
approved venting specifically designed for corn. Follow
the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
WARNING
Fire Hazard.
• Only LISTED venting components may be
used.
NO OTHER vent components may be used.
•
Substitute or damaged vent components may
impair safe operation.
WARNING
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if
touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards
may be required
CAUTION
Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
1. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly
through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which will
help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting into
the home during a power outage. It will also keep exhaust
from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing people or
shrubs to high temperatures. The safest and preferred
venting method is to extend the vent vertically through the
roof.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade should
be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon
plants in the area, and nature of grade surface. The grade
surface must be a noncombustible material (i.e., rock, dirt).
The grade surface must not be lawn. Distance between
bottom of termination and public walkway should be 84
inches (2134mm) minimum.
5 Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches

The chart will help you in determing proper venting size according to the equivalent feet of pipe
calcuated above and the altitude above sea level
of this installation. See Figure 11.2.
Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on
the vertical left side of the chart. Move to the
right horizontally on the chart until you reach
your altitude above sea level.
If you fall below the diagonal line, 3 or 4 inch (76
to 102mm) pipe may be used. If it is anywhere
above the diagonal line, a 4 inch (102mm) diameter pipe is required.
The chart reveals that a 90° elbow is 5 times as
restrictive to the flow of exhaust gases under
positive pressure as 1 foot of horizontal pipe, and
a foot of horizontal pipe is twice as restrictive as
a foot of vertical pipe.

F. Thermostat Installation
1. A 12 volt AC thermostat is required to operate this pellet
appliance. You may use the included wall mount thermostat or purchase an optional programmable thermostat
or remote control. It is equipped with an adjustable
heat anticipator. The current rating is .05 amps. The
anticipator needs to be adjusted to the lowest setting
available.
2. When mounting a thermostat on a wall, be sure to follow
your thermostat installation instructions carefully.
NOTE: Thermostat must be mounted level for
accurate readings. The thermostat should be
mounted on an inside wall and not in direct line
with the appliance convection air.
NOTE: If the thermostat is located too close to the
appliance, you may need to set the temperature
setting slightly higher to maintain the desired
temperature in your home.
3. There is a 4 screw terminal block located on the back
lower right corner of the stove directly above the power
cord inlet. The center 2 screws are for the thermostat
wires.

A. Fuel Size And Material
1. Wood Pellets
Fuel pellets are made from sawdust or wood by-products. If the
source material is hardwood, they can have a higher mineral
content, creating more ash. Fuels containing bark will also have
higher ash content. Minerals and other noncombustible materials
such as sand will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called
a clinker when heated to the extreme temperatures our firepot
reaches. This is what forms clinkers in the bottom of the firepot.
Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. That is
why some fuels produce more clinkers than others. Pellets are
manufactured in either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) diameter and
should be no more than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) in length. Pellet
lengths may even vary by lot from the same manufacturer which
is why the feed rate may need to be adjusted occasionally. If you
burn pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) you may have
an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.
Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. We recommend using
premium grade fuel with ash content less than 1%. Even in some
fuel labeled “premium” ash content can vary from bag to bag and
possibly exceed 1%. High ash fuel, or lack of maintenance, can
cause the firepot to fill up and thus create a potential for smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fires.
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content takes
heat from the fuel and tends to cool the appliance, robbing heat
from your home. Damp pellet fuel can clog the feed system.
We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever
possible. Buying large quantities of fuel at once will greatly
reduce the number of times the feed adjustments will need to be
made. However, we do recommend trying various brands before
purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.
R
B. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically
light and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature
and the thermostat is satisfied, the red call light will go off
and the appliance will shut down.
2. Heat Output Controls
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control
switch that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium
and high. The appliance will turn on and off as the
thermostat demands. When the thermostat calls for heat,
the appliance will start up at the burn rate for which it is
set. If the appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it
will run quieter but take longer to heat up an area than if it
were set at a higher burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate,
when the area is warm enough to satisfy the thermostat,
the appliance will shut off.

WARNING
Fire and Smoke Risk.
• High ash fuels or lack of maintenance
can cause firepot to overfill. Follow
proper shutdown procedure if ash buildup
exceeds haf way point in firepot.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fires.
2. Shelled Field Corn
Extensive factory and field testing has demonstrated shelled
field corn to be an efficient and very economical fuel. We
recommend the use of a 50-50 blend of corn and wood pellets.
The only change in operation is that the feed rate may require
a slight adjustment. The BTU output of the appliance varies
slightly compared to pellets, depending on the quality of the
corn used. In cases where it is acceptable for the appliance to
run full time, 100% corn will work after the fire has been started
using wood pellets.

C. Before Your First Fire
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and
thermostat installation instructions.
2. Double check that the ash pan and firebox are empty!
3. Check the position of the thermocouple, located above
the firepot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately
3/4 inch (19mm) into the firepot. IMPORTANT DETAIL:
The tip of the thermocouple must be in contact with
the inside end of the thermocouple cover.
4. Close the front door.
D. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance, except for corn. At this time, fill the hopper
with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug
the power cord into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.
3. L
ocate the heat output control switch mounted on the back
of the appliance in the upper right corner. See Figure 21.1
on page 21. Turn it to the “high” setting by pushing the top
of the control switch in and then adjust the thermostat to
its highest setting. Open the right side panel and the red
call light located behind the control box will be on. See
Figure 22.1. This indicates the thermostat is calling for
heat.
4.
The fuel feed system and the igniter should
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button once approximately 2 minutes after start up and
again in 5 minutes. This will fill the feed system and allow
the appliance to begin dropping pellets. The appliance
will continue to run as long as the thermostat is calling
for heat.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for approximately
15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the desired room
temperature. Adjust the heat output control switch to the
desired setting.
now
be on.
E. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch
set on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends
out of the firepot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the fire
has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy,
the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done by sliding
the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will reduce the
feed. If the fire is not 4 inches (102mm) tall, slide the fuel
adjustment control rod up to increase the feed. A medium
and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame will rise
and fall somewhat. This is normal.
F. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels. However, if the flame height is
too high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate. Wait
until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes before
making your adjustments and a
adjustment to take effect.
1. Loosen the set screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn during set-up
of appliance. This will allow movement of the feed
adjustment control rod. Do not re-tighten set screw.
Figure 22.2.
2. Loosen the wing nut. Figure 22.3.
3. Adjust the feed adjustment control rod upward towards the
"+" symbol to increase the feed rate and flame height or
down towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate
and flame height. Figure 22.3.
4. Re-tighten the wing nut.

G Iginition Cycles
1. During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some
smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once the
fire starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after
your appliance has reached the set temperature on
the “high” setting. This blower transfers heat from your
appliance into the room, and will continue to run after
the thermostat has stopped calling for heat until the
appliance has cooled down.
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will
be on. (See Figure 22.1, page 22). To restart it, fill
the hopper and press the reset button. (See Figure
21.1, page 21). When you press the reset button the
red call light will go out. Release the button and the
light will come back on. You should see a fire shortly.
If not, follow the instructions on page 22, of “Starting
Your First Fire”.

H. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUES SOLUTIONS
1. Metallic noise. 1. Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as
it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not
affect the operation or longevity of your appliance.
2. Ash buildup on glass. 2. This is normal. Clean the glass.
3. Glass has turned dirty. 3. Excessive build up of ash. The lower burn settings will
produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce
less. The more it burns on low the more frequent cleaning of the glass is required.
Fire has tall flames with black tails and is lazy. 4. The feed rate needs to be reduced or the firepot needs
4.
cleaning. Heat exchanger or exhaust blower needs
cleaning.
5. Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash. 5. Either the firepot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
start-up and not enough air. Close down feed rate 1/4
inch at a time until this no longer happens.
6. Large flame at start-up. 6. This is normal. Flame will settle down once the fire is
established.

.
C. General Maintenance
1. Types of Fuel
Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate
how often you have to clean your firepot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content
or you are burning shelled field corn, it may be necessary
to clean the firepot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the firepot. A clinker
is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is
heated to 2000°F

a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool
and the exhaust blower off. If you are just cleaning the
firepot, there is no need to unplug the appliance.
b. Pull firepot cleaning rod OUT a couple of times to help
shake debris loose. See Figure 37.2 on page 37. If rod
is hard to pull, it may be necessary to use your firepot
clean-out tool to chip away material that has built up
on the bottom plate of the firepot and to push out any
clinkers. Larger clinkers may have to be removed from
the top of the firepot. Corn clinkers can be especially
difficult to break up.
c. The firepot floor plate must be fully closed when
finished. See Figure 23.1 on page 23.
WARNING
Fire Risk
• NEVER pull firepot cleaning rod or cleaning
slide plates out when appliance is operating.

CLOSED when appliance is operating.
•. Hot pellets may fall into ashpan and start a fire
or mis-starts due to lack of vacuum.
4. Cleaning Ash Pan
• Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel
• By: Homeowner
Locate the ash pan underneath the firepot. Open the
bottom ash door and slide the ash pan straight out.
Empty into a non-combustible container and re-install
ash pan. See Disposal of Ashes.
5. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly
cooled.
7. Cleaning Heat Exchanger Chambers & Drop Tube
• Frequency: Monthly or every 1 ton of fuel
• By: Homeowner
WARNING
3. Ash Removal from Firebox
• Frequency: Weekly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up.
• By: Homeowner
a. Allow the appliance to completely cool down. There
must not be any hot ashes in the firebox during
cleaning. Turn the thermostat on and then immediately
off to start the exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will
pull fly ash out the exhaust instead of into the room.
b. Frequent cleaning of the ash in the firebox will help
slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust blower
and vent system.
c. Open cast hinged face. Remove ash with an ash
vacuum or whisk broom and small dust pan.
d. This ash is deposited in the same ash pan as the
firepot debris. The ash pan should be emptied every
time you clean the firebox. Remember to place the ash
and debris into a metal or non-combustible container.
See Disposal of Ashes.
WARNING
Disposal of Ashes
• Ashes should be placed in metal container
with tight fitting lid.
• Ashes should be retained in closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Heat exchanger cleaning rods may be warm
to the touch. For safety purposes wear
gloves.
Do not pull heat exchanger cleaning rods
while appliance is operating.
Push cleaning rods IN when done, DO NOT
leave cleaning rods OUT. Injury can occur.
The amount of ash buildup in the firepot will be a good
guide to determine how often you should clean the heat
exchangers.
a. Allow the appliance to completely cool down before
pulling the cleaning rods. Turn the thermostat on and
then immediately off to start the exhaust blower on its
cycle time. It will pull fly ash out the exhaust instead
of into the room. Open the cast hinged face to access
the 2 cleaning rods. See Figure 29.1 on page 29.
b. Locate the 2 rods directly underneath the heat
exchanger tubes. Rods are bent at a 90° angle for
easy handling.

the rest of the firebox.
11. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency: Yearly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up.
• By: Qualified Service Technician/Homeowner
Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged
and the exhaust blower is off.
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly
ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system
and restrict the flow of the flue gases.
At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there is a
shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it will lead
to some soot formation. This will collect in the exhaust venting system.
The venting system may need to be cleaned at least once a
year or more often depending upon the quality of your fuel
or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sections. Ash will build
up more quickly in the horizontal sections.
12. Cleaning the Glass
• Frequency: When clear view of the firepot becomes
obscure
• By: Homeowner
a. Appliance must be completely cool before cleaning
glass.
b. Use a damp paper towel or any non-abrasive glass
cleaner. Wipe off with dry towel.
CAUTION
Handle glass assembly with care.
When cleaning glass:
Avoid striking, scratching or
•
slamming glass.
• Do NOT clean glass when hot.
10. Cleaning the Hopper
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
• By: Homeowner
After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to
clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up.
A combination of sawdust and pellets on the auger
reduces the amount of fuel supply to the firepot. This
can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.
The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow
a.
the appliance to completely cool down.
b. Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

C. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency: When the ash build-up exceeds more
than half way up the firepot.
• By: Homeowner
Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create
conditions that make the firepot fill quickly with ashes and
clinkers.
This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfilling
the firepot with pellets which may result in smoking, sooting
and possible hopper fires. Figure 31.1 shows an example
where the firepot overfills, pellets back up into the feed tube
and ash has accumulated in the firebox.
An inefficient and non-economical method of burning of fuel
caused by poor quality pellet fuel
The correct flame size when good quality, premium pellet
fuel is burned is shown in Figure 31.3.
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the firepot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
Figure 31.1
is shown in Figure 31.2.

HHT’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to damages resulting from: (1) installation, operation or main-
tenance of the appliance not in accordance with the installation instructions; operating instructions and the listing
agent identification label furnished with the appliance; (2) installation which does not comply with local building codes;
(3) shipping, improper handling, improper operation, abuse, misuse, accident or unworkmanlike repairs; (4) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation or drafting caused by tight sealing construction of the structure or handling
devices such as exhaust fans or forced air furnaces or other such causes; (5) use of fuels other than those specified
in the operating instructions; (6) installation or use of components not supplied with the appliance or any other components not expressly authorized and approved by HHT; and/or (7) modification of the appliance not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in writing.

junction with the installation of this product.
This warranty is void if the appliance has been over-fired or operated in atmospheres contaminated by chlorine,

HHT’s liability under this warranty is limited to the replacement and repair of defective components or workmanship
during the applicable period. HHT may fully discharge all of its obligations under such warranties by repairing the
defective component(s) at HHT’s discretion. Shipping costs are not covered under this warranty.
