Dear PELPRO Pellet Stove Owner:

CONGRATULATIONS on the purchase of your PELPRO MULTI-fuel pellet appliance! You have
selected the finest in residential wood pellet heating technology.

Let us pass on a few ―tips‖ concerning installing your stove and heating with wood pellets, corn or

wheat.

Whether you install your stove yourself or hire a professional installer, a quality installation is

a must for the safety of your family and for efficient, satisfactory operation of your stove.

Initial Burn Setup of the stove is the most important step to ensure the efficient and
satisfactory operation of your appliance for many years to come. Pellet Stoves ARE NOT
plug ‗n play.

Know the quality and characteristics of the fuel you burn. Corn, Wheat or even Wood Pel-

lets can vary greatly from company to company, from load to load and occasionally from bag

to bag.

Be extra diligent in your cleaning program.

Remember that a very high percentage of operational dilemmas with a pellet stove are

usually traced back to improper installation, poor quality fuel and/or lack of timely cleaning.

With just a minimum of daily care your PELPRO multi-fuel appliance will provide years of clean,
efficient, comfortable and environmentally sound heating.

Thank you for selecting a PELPRO wood pellet/multi-fuel appliance.

Sincerely,

Hearth & Home Technologies

Friendly Reminder:
A pellet stove / insert is not designed or tested as a primary source of heat. They are designed to

be a supplementary heat only. Please do not disconnect or remove your existing primary heat source.
Please do not disconnect or remove your existing primary heat source.

the OFF Touch Pad and inspect the heater. (See Operating Your Stove). Soot or creosote may accumu-
late in the exhaust vent system when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an ex­tremely rich burn. The flame will have a lazy orange color with black tips. This indicates poor pellet fuel
combustion.

NEVER block free airflow through the open vents of the unit. The viewing door and ash pan must be
closed and latched during operation.

The pellet appliance exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a positive
chimney pressure, therefore the exhaust system must be completely airtight and properly installed. All
exhaust system vent joints must be sealed, gas tight, with HI-TEMP RTV silicone sealant, and/or at least
3 sheet metal screws per joint and to the heater also.

Your heater requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (Refer to ‖Routine Cleaning‖ section of the

manual). Failure to maintain your heater may lead to smoke spillage in your home.

Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before performing any maintenance. Pushing ‖OFF‖
Touch Pad does not disconnect all power to the heater.

BEFORE carrying out any maintenance or cleaning, allow the heater to cool. Ashes must be disposed in a
metal container with a tight lid and placed on a non-combustible surface or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

The exhaust system should be checked twice a year minimum for any build-up of soot or
creosote. Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater.

NOTE: Hearth & Home Technologies grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or
maintenance of your appliance, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).

In accordance with the procedures and specifications listed in UL1482–00 & ASTM E 1509-04, and
ULC-S627-00 and ULC-S628-M93 for solid fuel room heater. Tested and listed for use in Manufactured
Homes in accordance with Oregon Administrative Rules 814-23-900 through 814-23-909. Hearth & Home

The operations and maintenance of your PelPro Series of multi-fuel appliance are unique and should not
be considered to be like a wood, coal, gas, electric, propane or oil heater, stove or appliance.

Cautions:

Do not try to operate your stove with viewing door open. Pellets will not feed under these
circumstances and a safety concern may arise from sparks or fumes entering room.

If you are not drawing combustion air from outside, care must be taken to allow for adequate air
make up, to avoid possible room air starvation when stove or other exhaust fans are in
operation.

It is highly recommended that you install a high quality smoke detector as well as a carbon
monoxide gas detector in the room where stove is installed. Care should be taken to make
sure detectors are in working order at all times.

FUEL CONSIDERATIONS

Your PelPro Series of Multi-fuel appliance is designed to burn the following:

1. Wood pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuel Industries standards.

2. A combination of up to 50/50 Wood Pellet and Shelled Corn

Fuel in the form of wood pellets or is stored in the hopper. An auger delivers the
pellets to the burn grate. The fuel rate, or heat output, is set by adjusting the feed
rate touch pad, (settings 1 to 4). A fan provides combustion air to the burn grate.
The amount of combustion air in the burn grate is adjustable and automatically
changes as the fuel rate changes. The higher the fuel rate, the larger the amount
of combustion air and visa versa. The fuel burns in the burn grate, producing
heat. Some heat radiates out the front of your stove. The majority of the heat
passes around the heat exchange tubes and air plenum around the firebox and is
then moved into the room by the room air fan. A small amount of heat must pass
out the exhaust of your stove, along with gases, into the atmosphere.

Your stove's heat output can be adjusted from setting 1-4, through the FEED
RATE touch pad, to vary your heat output from Low to High. The room air fan can
be manually adjusted through the FAN SPEED to run faster or slower to corre­spond to the amount of heat being produced. The room air fan is also on a limit
switch, controlled to run on high when the stove reaches higher temperatures and
then resume the speed you had selected once it cools to a lower temperature.

Your stove can run efficiently over
extended periods of time and at dif­ferent heat output levels as long as
the fuel supply is uninterrupted and

timely cleaning and maintenance
is preformed. An example of how

improper cleaning effects operations
is; the exhaust pressure switch will
shut the pellet supply off and your
stove will shut off if the exhaust sys­tem becomes plugged.

L120 LOW LIMIT SWITCH

This limit switch is mounted on the exhaust blower housing and has 2 main functions:

Should the fire happen to go out, for any reason, this limit switch will shut the stove off when the exhaust

temperature drops below 120° F.

Upon starting the appliance, the AcuTron control board has a 15 minute ―Lighting Mode‖, if the stove

exhaust does not reach 120° F in that 15 minutes the stove will shut off. As soon as the stove

exhaust does reach 120° F, the limit switch opens and the AcuTron enters a 5 minute ―Safety Delay‖

mode.

F140 FAN LIMIT SWITCH

Your pellet appliance has a convection fan control limit switch. The room air fan's (F140) temperature limit
snap switch automatically operates the fan on high when your stove is producing heat faster than the fan is
carrying it into the room. This may occur when the heat control lever is set at [3 or 4] and the FAN SPEED is
set to a very low or off setting. After the fan runs at this automatic high setting a few minutes, it may cycle back
to its lower setting and may continue to cycle between [HIGH] and your selected setting. The circulation (room
air) fan cycling from high to low is a normal condition as well as a safety feature of your appliance.
To compensate for the fan cycling, adjust the FAN SPEED to a higher setting.

L250 HIGH LIMIT SWITCH

Your pellet appliance has a high temperature limit switch installed. If the temperature at the back of the firebox
reaches approximately 250° F., the switch will shut off the electricity going to the Vacuum Switch and to the
Auger Motor. The auger will automatically stop, and the appliance will shut down when the exhaust
temperature cools (120° F). If this happens call your dealer or Hearth & Home Technologies Customer Service
(1-877-427-3316).

IT IS IMPORTANT TO FIND THE REASON WHY THE UNIT OVERHEATED.

VACUUM SWITCH

This safety device (mounted on the back panel pillar) detects vacuum in the exhaust system, firebox, and air
intake. If the exhaust blower fails, the vent pipe becomes plugged, the viewing door is open, or if you are out
of pellets, this switch will sense that there is a lack of vacuum and will stop the auger from continuing to feed
pellets.

HOPPER LID SWITCH

This device is mounted inside the
hopper. and is connected to the
auger feed system.……

If the hopper lid is OPEN the switch

WILL STOP THE AUGER FEED
SYSTEM. This is to prevent fingers,

clothing or other objects from
coming in contact with the auger.

The auger is capable of causing
serious injury and this switch
MAY NOT be disconnected.

Left Hand Side View
/ Exhaust Fan Side

If the power does go out, the pellet appliance will stop running. When the power comes back
on, the stove will remember the function it was performing and return to that function.

PELLET VENT TYPE:

1. Must be an approved 3‖ or 4‖ Diameter Type ‖PL‖ vent, vented to the outside (fig. 7) or connect
the vent to a factory built type ―A‖ chimney using an adaptor.

2. Exception: A single wall ―All Fuel‖ Stainless Steel chimney liner may be used inside a fireplace
or fireplace installations (fig. 8) .

3. Some venting manufactures do make ―PL‖ vent for use with wood pellet fuel only and another

type of ―PL‖ vent for corn or bio mass fuels. If in doubt, plan for the future and use the corn or

multi-fuel

4. Use 4‖ dia. vent if vent or liner height is over 15’ or if installation is over 3.000’ above sea level.
NOTE: 4‖ diameter vent may be used in all installations. If in doubt, use 4‖ dia. vent.

VENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

A ―Clean Out Tee‖ (4) must be installed at the bottom of all vertical runs. These ―Tee’s‖ are to assist in
periodically cleaning the vent. Single or Double clean out tees may be used. The exhaust system must
be installed so the entire system can be cleaned without disassembly.

Termination must exhaust above the fresh air inlet

elevation, and parallel or above the exhaust output

of the multi-fuel appliance.

It is highly recommended that at least 3 feet of vertical
pipe (5) be installed to create some natural draft. This is
to help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during
the appliance shut down.

Horizontal sections must have a 1/4‖ rise every 12‖ of

travel after 3’ long.

Pellet vent connections must be sealed gas tight. Use

Hi-Temp RTV Silicone, good for over 600° F or Hi-temp

Metal foil tape, that meets UL181 standards,. DO NOT
use ―Duct Tape‖.

Seal each vent section by injecting a liberal amount of
sealant into the gap and/or wrap with foil tape.

It is strongly recommended that the exhaust system

be terminated on the prevailing wind side of the home.

DETERMINE VENTING SIZE AND DISTANCE:

It is recommended that the vent system be installed with a minimum of three (3‘) of vertical
rise above the appliance exhaust port.

Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) is the method of determining vent sizes and lengths, that takes into account the
effect of different component parts on air flow.

STEP 1 To help you determine the correct size and/or run, simply fill in the chart below.
