IMPORTANT WARNINGS

www.PelletKing.com

CAUTION: eration and maintenance instructions exactly without deviation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a possible fire hazard and will void the warranty. If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. Contact local building or fire officials about requirements and installation inspection in your area.

1. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

2. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or any air distribution system.

3. Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this appliance.

4. Do not use class B venting intended for gas appliances as a chimney or connector pipe on a pellet fired appliance.

5. The minimum clearances must be maintained for all combustible surfaces and materials including; furniture, carpet, drapes, clothing, wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood within this clearance space.

6. INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER - This stoves exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure. Therefore, it is imperative that the exhaust system be gas tight (air tight, sealed connection) and installed correctly. Since Lennox Hearth Products has no control over the installation of your stove, Lennox Hearth Products grants no warranty, implied or stated for the installation or maintenance of your stove, and assumes no responsibility for any consequential damage(s).

7. Burning any kind of fuel consumes oxygen. If outside air is not ducted to the appliance, ensure that there is an adequate source of fresh air available to the room where the appliance is installed.

8. The stove will not operate using natural draft, nor without a power source for the blower and fuel feeding systems.

9. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

10. CONTINUOUS OPERATION: When operated correctly, this appliance cannot be overfired. Continuous operation at a maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the electrical components (blowers, motors, and electronic controls), and is not recommended. Typical approved operation would include running at the low to mid range setting with occasional running on the maximum setting during the coldest periods of the winter. The room air blower speed control should be turned to high when operating the stove on the high heat setting.

11. CAUTION: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER. Pellet fuel is fed to the UltraGrate ger. This auger is driven by a high torque motor.

Read this manual thoroughly before starting installation. For your safety, follow the installation, op-

The auger is capable of doing serious harm to fin-

gers. Keep pellets in the hopper at all times and keep fingers away from auger. The auger can start and stop automatically at any time while the stove is running.

12. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An appliance hot enough to warm your home can severely burn anyone touching it. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Do not let children touch the appliance. Train them to stay a safe distance from the unit.

13. APPROVED FUEL: This appliance is designed spe-

by a screw au-

cifically for use only with pelletized wood fuels only. With its advanced UltraGrate this appliance is designed and approved for the burning of wood residue pellets with up to 3% ash content. This appliance is NOT approved to burn cardboard, nut hulls, cherry pits, corn, etc. regardless if it is in pellet form. Failure to comply with this restriction will void all warranties and the safety listing of the stove. Consult with your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer for approved pellet fuels.

14. FLY ASH BUILD-UP: For all wood pellet fuelburning heaters, the combustion gases will contain small particles of fly ash. This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel being burned. Over time, the fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. The exhaust venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary.

15. SOOT FORMATION: Incomplete combustion can occur during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater. This can lead to some soot collecting in the exhaust venting system. A precautionary inspection on a regular basis is advisable to determine the necessity of cleaning. The exhaust venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary.

16. DISPOSING OF ASHES: Any ashes removed from the pellet stove must be deposited in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, outside of the dwelling 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.

17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL

A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood pellet burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacturers’ instructions.

The installation of this appliance must conform to local codes and applicable state and federal requirements. Familiarity with these requirements before installation is essential. Important considerations to discuss with local building officials include:

1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code, State or Regional Codes).

Electrical codes:

In USA, NEC, ANSI / NFPA 70 – Latest Edition In Canada, CSA C22.1 – Latest Edition

Power Supply Requirements

be plugged into a standard, 115 volt, 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. The approximate power requirement is 362 Watts, and will peak up to 736 Watts for approximately 6 minutes when the self-igniter is operating (it will turn off 2 minutes after flame detection). The power cord must be routed to avoid contact with any of the hot or sharp exterior surface areas of the stove. When installed into a manufactured (mobile) home, the appliance must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis (see page 8, Manufactured [Mobile] Home Require- ments). These requirements must be met unless otherwise specified by state or local authorities.

WARNING - ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING) PLUG FOR YOUR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG. DO NOT ROUTE POWER CORD UNDER OR IN FRONT OF APPLIANCE.

2. Local amendments?

3. Is a permit required - cost? You may wish to contact your insurance company to ask if they require this.

4. Is outside combustion air required?

5. Rooms where the installation is not allowed?

– The power cord must

INSTALLATION / MAINTENANCE STANDARDS

National Fire Protection Association – The primary NFPA standard that refers to installation and maintenance of pellet appliances and venting is NFPA 211 – Latest Edition: Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel appliances.

SELECTING A LOCATION The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine its value as a source of heat. A pellet stove depends primarily on air circulation (convection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central location is often best. There are other practical considerations, which must be considered before a final selection of locations is made.

♦ Existing Chimneys ♦ Pellet Fuel Storage ♦ Aesthetic Considerations ♦ Roof Design (rafter locations & roof pitch) ♦ Room Traffic ♦ Proximity to Combustibles ♦ Electrical Wiring

The installation of this stove will require some research. Once your options are determined, consult with your local building department who will be able to give you the necessary installation requirements for your area (Is a building permit required? Rooms where installation may not be allowed, etc.).

WARNING: CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION. THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPROPRIATE CODE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE. ALTERATIONS TO THE STOVE ARE NOT ALLOWED. DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER STOVE, APPLIANCE, OR ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.

SMOKE DETECTORS

Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by the stove). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.

FLOOR PROTECTION – Advantage II-T C FS

(For USA and Canada) This appliance requires 3/8" (10 mm) minimum noncombustible floor protection designed for solid fuel burning appliances having a thermal conductivity of k = .84 BTU in/ft or equivalent. If the

6”

(153mm)

min.

floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continuous non-combustible surface (See Using Alternate Material As Floor Protector below). If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2" (51 mm) to either side. The floor protector must fully cover the area beneath the appliance and extend 6” to the front, 6” to the sides, and up to 6” from the back (see illustration above and following note).

*Note: When installed at clearances less than 6”, the floor protection is only required to extend to the wall.

FLOOR PROTECTION / HEARTH EXTENSION USING ALTERNATE MATERIAL AS FLOOR PROTECTOR

Floor Protection above for freestanding models and Hearth Requirements, page 8 for the insert model)

The hearth pad or alternate material used as a floor/hearth protector must be constructed of a durable noncombustible material having an equal or better thermal conductivity value (lower k value) of k = .84 BTU / IN FT resistance that equals or exceeds r = 1.19 HR °F FT with a minimum thickness of 3/8”. With these values, determine the minimum thickness of the alternate material required using the formula(s) and the table shown here (see chart - Approved Alternate Materials for Floor/Hearth Protection).

Note: Any noncombustible material having a minimum thickness of 3/8” (10 mm) whose k value is less than .84 or whose r value is more than 1.19 is acceptable. If the alternate material used has a higher k value or lower r value will require a greater thickness of the material used. In some cases, if the k value is less or the r value higher, a thinner material may be used.

Methods of determining floor protection equivalents:

To determine the thickness required for the alternate material when either the k value or r value is known, use either the k formula or r formula:

Example: Durock Cement tion. How thick must this material be? The following formulas give the means of determining minimum thickness required.

= minimum thickness required for alternate material

kM = k value per inch of alternate material TL = minimum thickness of listed material r

= r value per inch of alternate material

At times it is important to know what combination of materials are acceptable for use as floor protection. The “R values” are used to determine acceptable combinations of materials because “R values” are additive where r and k values are not.

“R value” = 1 k

= r x thickness of material used

Example: Given that the required “R value” for a suitable floor protector used must be equal to or greater than “R” = r x T .375” = .45.

INSTALLING SURROUND ASSEMBLY - Advantage II-T C INS (to be done after venting system is installed)

The surround kit (purchased separately) comes with a set of metal panels that enclose the fireplace opening when fitted together. Put the surround assembly together according to the following instructions (ref. see illustration below).

1. Remove panels from package.

2. Verify that you have all three panels and a package with “pop” rivets and #8 self-tapping screws. If you do not have a “pop” rivet tool, you should arrange to buy or borrow one for this installation.

3. Set the stove on the hearth so that the rear of the stove is accessible to complete all pipe connections.

4. Verify that the hopper cover is all the way to the front and open as high as your fireplace opening will allow. Secure the hopper cover with at least two #8 screws on all three sides. Tip: Spreading the side panels slightly may be necessary to complete this step.

5. Place four rivets and your “pop” rivet tool beside the stove and line up the right side panel (with control door) with the holes in the side of the stove. (When the side panel is properly installed, the hinge flange will be to the rear of the stove.) Attach the panel to the stove with four “pop” rivets.

6. Secure the left side surround panel to the stove using the procedure described in step #5.

7. Before proceeding further, check pipe connections to ensure that all joints are sealed with high-temperature RTV silicone and properly secured. Refer to detailed venting instructions on pages 16, 19 and 20.

8. The stove may now be pushed into the fireplace cavity to within 1 1/2” of the face of the fireplace.

9. Set the top surround panel in place over the two side panels. Carefully slide the panel downward into the “U” clips

attached to the back of the Advantage II-T C INS. Tip: Be careful to align the notched cutouts in the top surround panel with the stove side panels. Adjust side to side if necessary to align with the surround side panels.

10. Unwrap the control board carefully without touching any electrical components. Holding the sides of the control board, lower the bottom edge into the slot in the bottom of the control door opening Install the control board onto the right side panel (with door) using the #8 hex head screw provided.

11. Connect the wiring harness from the Advantage II-T C INS into corresponding connector on control board.

12. Check the Advantage II-T C INS placement in the fireplace. To reposition, open the door and make any needed adjustment by pulling forward and then pushing sideways. Once the unit has been centered to your satisfaction, close the door and push the Advantage II-T C INS back into place so the surround is flush with the face of the hearth. Tip: Before completing this step, verify that the control board will not hit the edge of the fireplace opening.

If using the optional gold surround trim, remove the trim from its packaging and place the piece with the two mitered ends along the top panel. Place the two remaining side pieces on the surround so that the mitered ends align. Cut the non-mitered ends of the shroud trim with scissors, if necessary.

In factory built and masonry fireplaces, a means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner or pipe.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

It is recommended that only an authorized dealer install your pellet stove. The specified installation requirements must be followed to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of the appliance and local building codes. All clearances, installation instructions and precautions specified by the vent manufacturer must be followed.

Selecting a Location (Freestanding Models) - Review the appliance clearance requirements before installing the venting system (see page 6). Position the appliance far enough away from walls to allow adequate room for servicing. Choose the appliance location with the least amount of interference with the house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc.

Preferred Vent Configuration - For the best performance, we recommend a vent run design which runs vertically and terminates above the roofline. This design will allow natural draft to improve the flow of flue gases and will aid in combustion and stove performance.

Type of Pipe - This stove requires type “PL” vent pipe (pellet vent pipe, sometimes referred to as “L-Vent pellet vent”), listed to UL 641 or ULC S609. Connect the pellet vent pipe or the “tee” to the flue collar using a minimum of three screws and seal as specified in “Pipe / Liner Joint Requirements” on this page. Do not use class B gas chimney or single wall chimney as a substitute.

Size of Pipe - These pellet appliances are approved for use with the following vent sizes: 3” (75mm) standard, or 4” (100mm), see page 15 - for determining correct size vent). When 4” pipe is used: for horizontal vent installations use a 3” (75mm) to 4” (100mm) adapter - available from vent manufacturer. For vertical installations use a 3” (75mm) to 4” (100mm) “tee” - available from vent manufacturer.

Note: If installation requires in excess of 11 feet (3 1/3 meter) of pipe, it is recommended that 4” (100 mm) pipe be used.

Offsets - In every installation, a single or double cleanout “tee” is recommended for every ninety-degree offset (this tee will help collect ash residue and will allow for routine cleaning without the need to disconnect sections of pipe). Note: Offsets and horizontal runs accumulate fly ash and soot which reduces the exhaust flow and performance of the stove.

Total Offsets in venting system should not exceed 270° total in direction change.

Horizontal Runs - The maximum total horizontal run must not exceed 10 feet (3.1 meters).

Horizontal run of pipe requires 1/4” (7 mm) rise per foot.

Pipe Clearances / Requirements - See pipe manufacturers instructions for installation of venting components and clearances. Follow pipe manufacturers installation precautions for passing pipe through a combustible wall or ceiling (i.e. use an approved thimble). Note: Pellet vent pipe requires 3” (75mm) clearance from outside of pipe unless otherwise specified by vent manufacturer all diameters: 3” (75mm) and 4” (100mm). A support bracket must be installed every 4’ (1.2m) of pellet vent pipe on the exterior wall of the house unless otherwise specified by vent manufacturer.

Pipe / Liner Joint Requirements - All pipe joints must be secured with a minimum of 3 screws. ALL horizontal joints must be sealed gas tight (air tight, sealed connection). Use RTV high temperature silicone or Interam to provide a complete seal at the flue collar and on all joints.

Connection to Masonry Chimney through a Wall (Freestanding Models) - Be sure to verify the construc-

tion of a masonry chimney, as it may have combustible framing.

Approved liner when relining Masonry or Factory Built Fireplaces is 2100HT (degree F.) liner listed to UL 1777 or ULC S635.

Connection to an Existing Class A Chimney (Freestanding Models) - A chimney adapter can be used to

make the connection from 3” (75mm) or 4” (100mm) pellet vent pipe (listed to UL 641 or ULC S609) to existing UL chimney system. Verify with the pipe manufacturer that your pipe brands will interconnect.

Horizontal-Vent Installations - On all horizontal-vent installations (short, horizontal runs with no vertical pipe); care should be taken when choosing a location for terminating the vent. It is not recommended to directly vent the exhaust on the prevailing wind side of the house. It is recommended that when an appliance is vented directly through a wall, a minimum of 8’ (2.5m) of vertical pipe should be installed to create some natural draft. This will reduce the possibility of smoke or odor entering the dwelling during appliance shutdown or loss of power.

VENT TERMINATION

Do not terminate vent in an enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as: carports, garage, attic, crawl space, under a deck, porch, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered breezeway etc.

Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched. Adults should supervise children when they are in the area of a hot stove. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.

Termination Cap: The termination of the outside chimney of the pellet stove shall be located in accordance with the following:

A. Higher than 3’ (.92m) above any forced air inlet (air

conditioner, etc.) located within 10’ (3m).

B. Not less than 4’ (1.2m) below, 4’ (1.2m) horizontally

from or 1’ (3.1m) above any gravity air inlet (door, window, etc.) which flue gases could re-enter the dwelling.

C. Not less than 2’ (.6m) from combustible materials

such as an adjacent buildings, fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang, plants and shrubs, etc. and not less than 7’ (2.1m) above grade when located adjacent to the public sidewalks (access). The final termination of the exhaust system must be configured so that flue gases do not jeopardize the safety of people passing by, overheat combustible portions of nearby structures or enter the dwelling.

D. Not less than 3’ (.92m) below an eave (maximum

overhang of 3’ (.92m) or any construction that projects more than 2” (51mm) from the plane of the wall.

E. The distance from the bottom of termination to grade

is 12” (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon plants and nature of grade surface: Be careful to choose a location for the vent termination which does not expose people or shrubs to high heat from the exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are not hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located in the vicinity of the termination although they should be a minimum of 3’ (.92m) away. The grade surface under the termination must not be a lawn.

F. Since sparks may escape from the exhaust pipe of

any stove, use caution when positioning the vent pipe. Refer to pipe manufacturer’s instructions when installing and terminating the exhaust. The vent pipe should be horizontal and never run the pipe in a downward direction (recommend a 1/4” (7mm) rise per foot horizontal).

Notes:

• It is not recommended to terminate exhaust vent on the prevailing wind side of the house.

• It is not recommended using a termination cap with a screen (fly ash can collect in a screen resulting in blockage).

Site Built Residential Home Chimney Height Requirements

The vent termination height required is - USA, 1-foot minimum; Canada 3-feet minimum above the roof penetration point as illustrated below (Ref. USA - National Standard, NFPA 211, Clause 7-4.1 and Canada National Standard CSA B365-01, Clause 5.6). Check with your local building official for additional requirements for your area.

TERMINATION CAP MUST BE LISTED TO UL 641 AND ULC S609 *

USA 1 Foot Minimum

TERMINATION HEIGHT IS MEASURED ABOVE THE HIGHEST POINT WHERE IT PASSES THROUGH THE ROOF SURFACE.

Manufactured (Mobile) Home Chimney Height Requirements

The chimney must extend 3’ (.92m) above the level of roof penetration and a minimum of 2’ (.61m) higher than any roof surface within 10’ (3m) (see below). Check with your local building officials for additional requirements for your area.
