READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY AND UNDER­STAND THESE RULES TO FOLLOW FOR SAFETY
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, ser­vice or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or modify the construction of the appliance or its components. Any modification or alteration may void the warranty, certification and listings of this unit.
1. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING 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 UNIT.
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 combustibles within this clearance space (see Clearances on Pages 6, 7 and 8).
6. INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER - It is imperative that the exhaust venting system be installed correctly and sealed gas-tight (not allowing exhaust to leak). Follow the vent manufacturer's instructions for proper installation. 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 appliance 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. The authority having jurisdiction such as municipal build­ing department, fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.

11. APPROVED FUEL: This appliance is designed specifically for use only with pelletized wood fuels only. 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 Lennox Hearth Products dealer for more information on approved pellet fuels.
12. These appliances are designed as supplemental heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have an alternate heat source when installed in a dwelling.
13. 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. DO NOT OVER-FIRE THIS STOVE. Follow all instructions regarding the proper use of this stove.
14.CAUTION: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER. Pellet fuel is fed to the burn-pot by a screw auger. This auger is driven by a high torque motor. The auger is capable of doing serious harm to fingers. 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.
15. 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 appliance.
16. FLY ASH BUILD-UP: For all wood pellet fuel-burning 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.
17. SOOT FORMATION: Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect 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.
18. DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed 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, 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.
19. The instructions must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the installation.
20. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or broken.
21. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
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.
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.
Surge Protectors - A surge protector is recommended to ensure the
stove’s electrical components are not damaged due to a surge in the electrical supply. Only high quality protectors should be used - cheap ones do not provide the protection needed.
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 these appliances). 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.
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 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:
Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code, State or Regional
1. Codes).
Electrical codes:
In USA, NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70 – Latest Edition In Canada, CSA C22.1 – Latest Edition
Power Supply Requirements
The power cord must be plugged into a standard, 120 volt, 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. The power supply cord must be routed to avoid contact with any of the hot or sharp exterior surface areas of the stove. When installed in a manufactured home, the appliance must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis (see Page 12, Manufactured Home Requirements for additional requirements). These requirements must be met unless otherwise specified by state or local authorities.
Electrical
• The stove requires 120 volts AC for operation.
• Maximum wattage is 700.
• Igniter wattage is 400.
• Normal operating wattage is 300.
Electrical Generator Operation
Your Winslow™ PS40 stove can be powered with a gas driven electrical generator. However, the generator’s electrical regulator may not be compat­ible with the stove’s electronics. The higher the quality of the generator, the greater the chance that it is compatible with the stove.
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 three­prong 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. If outside combustion air is required
5. Rooms where the installation is not allowed
4
The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine its value as a source of heat. This type of appliance 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
CAUTION
The body of these appliances are very heavy. The use of a heavy duty escalara (stair step hand truck) is recommended for lifting the appliance body.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WARNING
This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure. Very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, or homes with furnace cold air returns located in close proximity to the stove may create nega­tive pressure in the same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous condition, drawing combustion by-products into the home. Be sure your home has adequate makeup air to eliminate negative pressures caused by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air connected to the appliance probably will not resolve such a problem as the stove is not the source of negative pressure. Lennox Hearth Products accepts no liability for damages resulting from negative pressures described here.
Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for combustion. The
fresh air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space where it will be installed. Ventilation is essential when using a solid-fuel-burning heater. In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may inhibit the rate the exhaust flows through the venting system (caused by a shortage of air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, fireplaces, and other fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this heater uses oxygen from inside the dwelling. If the available fresh air delivery in the dwelling is insufficient to support the demands of these appli­ances, problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure will result in performance problems. To correct this problem it may help to open a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or install an outside combustion air duct to the appliance.
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

Venting
This stove is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL pellet vent pipe listed to UL 641 and ULC S609. We recommend the use of venting products manufactured by Security Chimneys International.. The flue collar on the stove accepts 3” diameter pipe.
The combustion air for this stove is drawn through a pipe at the lower rear of the stove. For mobile home installations a 3” ID flex line or pipe must be attached to the stove’s air intake to draw air from outside the house. The vent pipe can be installed vertically or horizontally (see Venting section for recommended installations).
Wood pellets manufactured to the pellet fuels institute (P.F.I.) certification standard are available in two grades, Standard and Premium. The primary difference between the two is the ash content of the pellets.
The P.F.I. specification for standard grade and premium grade residential pellet fuel is as follows:
• CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m. to avoid stove and vent rusting.
• BULK DENSITY: 40 lb. / Cu. Ft. minimum
• MOISTURE CONTENT: 8% maximum
• ASH CONTENT: < 3% maximum (standard grade) < 1% maximum (premium grade)
• FINES: 0.5% maximum through a 1/8” screen
• BTU CONTENT: There are a number of variations in pellet fuels that are not included in PFI standards. For example, BTU (heat value) content may range from just under 8,000 to almost 9,000 Btu, depending upon species and region of the country and other variables.
Corn Specifications: Use only clean-shelled corn with a moisture content less than 15% and approximate fuel value of 7000 BTU/lb (16,200 kJ/kg). Do not attempt to burn corn with higher moisture content or burn lesser grade fuels. Do not burn other types of agricultural pellets or by-products (alfalfa, cherry pits, olive pits, nut shells, etc.) as they are not permitted to be burned in these appliances.
Note: When installing this stove at altitudes of 4000 feet and above, we suggest the use of 4” pellet vent.
Thermostat
This stove can be operated manually or with a thermostat.
Lighting
This stove is equipped with an electric self igniter for ease of ignition.
Fuel Specifications
This stove is designed to burn wood pellet fuel. In addition, a corn/wood pellet mixture, with a maximum of 50 percent corn can be burned. Burning any other fuel that is not approved for use with this appliance will void the appliance warranty. IMPORTANT: The corn/wood mix needs to be mixed
evenly before being put in the Winslow™ pellet stove hopper.
Wood Pellet Specifications: This appliance has been designed to burn
wood residue pellets with up to 3% ash content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the performance of the stove. Any questions regarding pellet fuel
CAUTION
THE USE OF UNAPPROVED, DIRTY, WET AND/OR HIGH SALT CONTENT FUEL WILL VOID THE WAR­RANTY!

1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway, etc.
2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be installed outside when the stove is vented directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure and avoid exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.
4. The vent should terminate no less than four feet below, no less than four feet horizontally from and no less than one foot above doors and windows, or gravity/ventilation air inlets into the building.
5. The distance between the bottom of termination and grade should be a minimum of 12” (305 mm). The distance between the bottom of the termination and a public walkway should be a minimum of seven feet.
6. Locate the vent termination at least two feet away from combustible materials such as shrubs, plants, grass, fences, roof overhangs and adjacent buildings.
