SAFETY FIRST!!!

This heater is suitable for both mobile home and conventional home installation.
Read all instructions carefully before starting installation. Save this manual for
future reference.

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could
cause a malfunction of the heater, damage to the heater, property
damage, bodily injury or even death.

2. Familiarize yourself with the heater’s operation (see “Operation”
section). If you are not sure, ask your dealer for explanations on
your heater’s proper operation.

3. The burn pot of this heater is designed to burn premium grade
wood pellets. Pellets with too much fi nes and saw dust must be
screened before use. DO NOT USE WET PELLETS. Refer to
the “Fuel Requirements” section for more information.

4. Oil the circulation fan motor bearings every 6 months. See
“Maintenance” section for more details.

5. Check your local building codes regarding restrictions or
installation requirements. All installations must comply with
local building codes.

6. This heater requires a fl oor protector beneath the heater and
extending a minimum of 6 inches (150 mm) in front and beyond
each side of the fuel loading and ash removal openings of the
heater. This is to catch any spillage which may occur during
opening and closing of the doors. See Figure 1 for more
information.

7. Use only UL/ULC listed Type PL or Type L venting for the
exhaust system. This heater is designed for use with 3 inch (76
mm) diameter vent pipe. Avoid long runs and too many bends.
It may be necessary to increase the size of the vent pipe to 4
inch (102 mm) in diameter if long runs and too many bends are
unavoidable. See “Venting System” section for more information.

8. Combustion of wood pellet fuel leaves ash in the heater and
venting system. These ashes must be removed from the heater
and venting on a regular basis (approximately once a week or
more frequently for high ash content fuels). See “Maintenance”
section for more information. The entire system must also be
cleaned at the start of each heating season. A yearly inspection of
the venting is highly recommended.

9. The heater must be turned off and allowed to cool before cleaning.
Make sure there are no hot ashes or embers present. Use a brush
and scoop to clean. Only use vacuum cleaners specifi cally
designed for use with hot ashes. Place all ashes in a sealed metal

Page 5

contai

ner with a tight, nonfl ammable fi tting lid.

10. Store all pellet fuel in a sealed metal container at a safe distance
(at least 36 inches/ 1 meter) away from the heater. DO NOT
place the fuel within the installation clearances of the stove or
within the space needed for ash removal and start up.

11. This heater is POWER VENTED (the vent pipes have a positive
pressure during operation). It is IMPERATIVE that all joints
in the venting system be SEALED to prevent any leakage of
exhaust gases inside the house. All joints must be sealed using
high temperature (RTV) silicone sealer. Aluminum tape is not an
adequate sealant.

12. Use of outside combustion air is highly recommended and
is mandatory in mobile home installations. Connect the air
intake pipe of the heater to the exterior of the building with a
noncombustible metal pipe with a minimum diameter of 2 inches
(50 mm). Use APR Part Number AK 100. Use of plastic pipe is
not permitted.

13. This appliance is wired and grounded according to the CSA
C22.1 code for Canada and the NFPA 70 code for the USA. Also,
this heater meets the fuel burning appliance installation codes
NFPA 211 in the USA and CSA B365 in Canada.

14. Do NOT operate the heater with the door open. Make sure the
door and any other opening in the stove are closed tightly during
operation. Inspect the gaskets of the door and other openings
periodically to make sure they are in good condition.

15. Replace broken or defective components only
with parts provided by the manufacturer. Visit
WWW.KOZISTOVES.COM or contact your local dealer to fi nd
out how to purchase replacement parts.

16. Follow this manual carefully for proper installation. If you
are uncertain, call your dealer. Most dealers have qualifi ed and
trained installers. We highly recommend the use of their services.

17. Your KOZI stove should be installed, operated and maintained
regularly in accordance with this manual. Failure to follow this
manual may cause smoke spillage or other potential hazards.
Install a smoke and carbon monoxide detector on every fl oor of
your home. Install these detectors near sleeping areas and near
the stove. Follow all manufacturers’ instructions when operating
the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Maintain these
detectors as stated by the manufacturer.

alues will vary depending on the quality of pellet fuel being used.

** The Higher Heating Value (HHV) is used to determine the effi ciency in
accordance with CSA B415.1-09. The HHV is the total amount of heat in a
sample of fuel (including the energy in the water vapor that is created during the
combustion process). The Lower Heating Value (LHV) is the amount of heat
in a sample of fuel minus the energy in the combustion water vapor. Using the
HHV will give us a more accurate effi ciency rating.

2. Electrical Requirements

1. This heater is an electrical appliance. The North American
versions of this appliance require 120 Volts, 60 Cycles and
3 Amps of electrical power. The European versions of this
appliance require 230 Volts, 50 Cycles and 2 Amps of electrical
power. All heaters will require an additional 300 Watts of
electrical power during the start up sequence (due to the electric
igniter).

2. The heater comes with a 5 ft (1.5 meter) long, grounded, electrical
cord suitable to plug into any standard residential electrical outlet.

Page 10

Figure 5

. Certifi cation label.

The electri

cal outlet must be grounded.

3. When installed in a mobile home, the heater must be grounded to
the steel chassis of the home (unless this is not required by local
code).

3. Fuel Requirements

i. Physical Properties

Your heater is very sensitive to fuel quality. Every effort should be made to
use only the best pellet fuel available in your area. This heater is designed for
premium grade, 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) or 5/16 inch (7.94 mm) diameter wood
pellets only. The following should assist you in selecting the proper fuel.

Good Fu

el

Made from hard or soft wood

Dry

Clean

1/4” - 5/16” in diameter

1” or less in length

Low ash content (less than

1%)

Bad Fue

Moist or wet

Lots of fi nes or sawdust

Longer than 1” in length

Contains binders (helps glue

the fuel together)

High ash content (greater than

1%)

l

Not made of wood

Burning any fuel other than wood pellets as described as
above will void your heater’s warranty and may void any
insurance.

If you fi

nd your fuel has too much fi nes and sawdust, the fuel may be screened
before use. DO NOT USE WET PELLETS under any circumstances. Longer
fuel may cause bridging of the auger and result in erratic feeding or jamming.
Fines, binders, ash, moisture will all cause your heater to plug up and not burn
effi ciently. “Poor” fuels require more frequent cleaning; the ash tray must be
emptied and the burn pot must be cleaned on a weekly/possibly daily basis.
Please refer to the “Maintenance” section for further instructions on cleaning
your heater.
This heater is designed to burn premium grade wood pellets. Higher effi ciencies
and lower emissions will generally result when burning premium grade wood
pellets as compared to fuels with higher ash and moisture contents.

ii. Fuel Storage

All pellet fuel should be stored in a clean, dry place and at a safe distance (at
least 36 inches /1 meter) away from the heater. DO NOT place the fuel within
the installation clearances of the heater or within the space needed for ash
removal or starting of the heater.

ARNING: Do not burn:

W

• Garbage

• Lawn clippings or yard waste

• Materials containing rubber, including tires

• Materials containing plastic

• Waste petroleum products, paints or paint
thinners or asphalt products

• Materials containing asbestos

• Construction or demolition debris

• Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood

• Manure or animal remains

• Paper products, cardboard, plywood or
particleboard

Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes
or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.

4. Locatio

n of the Heater

Before proceeding with the installation, the following sections should be
reviewed:

Section 4. Location of the Heater
Section 5: Typical Installation Confi gurations
Section 6: Venting System

When selecting a location for your new heater consider the following:
a. Clearance to combustibles.

b. Suffi cient room to service the unit.
c. Access for outside combustion air.
d. NOT approved for bedroom
installations.

e. Power within 5 feet (1.5 meter).
f. Access for exhaust venting.
g. EVL not exceeding 25 feet
(7.6 meter). See “Exhaust Vent
Requirements” section)

Locate your stove in the main living space where the majority of the heat is
needed to get the best effi ciency out of your stove. For example, installing a
stove in a basement when the heat is needed on the main fl oor is not the best
location for your stove. The heat being produced in the basement may rise to
the upper fl oors, but is usually to slow and provides limited comfort on the upper
fl oors. In order to keep the upper fl oors heated comfortably, the basement would
be overheated, thus more pellet fuel is used, reducing the effi ciency of the stove.
Locate the stove in an open area that has very little restrictions on air movement
(i.e. not near walls, doors, etc.). Installing the stove in a confi ned space will
reduce the amount of heat in other areas and will reduce your stove’s effi ciency.
This stove is designed for indoor use only. Installing the stove outdoors will

Page 12

reduce the

effi ciency of the stove signifi cantly, increase fuel consumption and

will make it diffi cult to heat the desired area comfortably.

5. Typical Installation Confi gurations

The following describe some typical installations. Variations of these are
possible. Common sense, safety and compliance with local codes must be
respected in any variation.

Wood smoke contains gases and tiny particles that when inhaled or breathed can
have serious health effects. In the cold, stagnant air prevents the wood smoke
from rising and can create unhealthy air quality or can become a nuisance for
neighbors. This smoke can seep into surrounding homes even with doors and
windows fully closed. Please locate your heater and install the venting with this
in mind.

Your KOZI pellet heater works under negative pressure (vacuum). The
exhaust fan of your stove pulls air from the air intake, through the stove and
pushes it out the venting. As this air passes through the burn pot, it is used
to burn the pellets. Proper vent pipe sizing is very important to the proper
operation of your stove. A proper size UL/ULC listed Type PL or L venting
should be used to provide the least resistance for movement of combustion air.

Your KOZI pellet heater is certifi ed for 3 or 4 inch diameter exhaust venting.
3 inch venting is normally suffi cient for most direct vent installations.
Installations with several elbows, long horizontal and/or vertical runs may add
too much resistance to airfl ow and may create burn problems. The use of 4
inch venting in these types of installations will reduce the possibility of burn
problems. A simple technique called “EQUIVALENT VENT LENGTH” (EVL)
can be used to determine whether 3 inch or 4 inch diameter vent pipe should be
used.
To calculate EVL use the following formula:

for each 90º Elbow or T-Fitting = add 5 EVL
for each 45º Elbow = add 3 EVL
for each Horizontal run of venting = add 1 EVL/foot of horizontal run
for each Vertical run of venting = add 1/2 EVL/foot of vertical run

CAUTION: EVL CANNOT EXCEED 25. Installations using
an EVL exceeding 25 are not permitted.
