5. The minimum clearances must be maintained for all com-
bustible surfaces and materials including; furniture, carpet,
drapes, clothing, wood, papers, etc. Do not store combustibles
within this clearance space (see Clearances on Page 7).
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 fire-
place insert, Lennox Hearth Products grants no warranty,
implied or stated for the installation or maintenance of your
insert, 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 build-
ing department, fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc
should be consulted before installation to determine the need
to obtain a permit.
10. 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 fireplace
insert. Consult with your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for
more information on approved pellet fuels.
11. These appliances are designed as supplemental heaters.
Therefore, it is advisable to have an alternate heat source
when installed in a dwelling.
12. CONTINUOUS OPERATION: When operated correctly, this
appliance cannot be overfired. Continuous operation at a
maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the electri-
cal 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 INSERT. Follow all
instructions regarding the proper use of this insert.
13. CAUTION: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER. Pellet fuel is
fed to the UltraGrate™ by a screw auger. This auger is driven
by a high torque motor. The auger is capable of doing seri-
ous 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 insert is running.
14.CAUTION: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER. Pellet fuel is
fed to the UltraGrate™ 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 insert is running.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. DISPOSING OF ASHES: Any ashes removed from the pellet
fireplace insert 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 dwell-
ing 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 insert with the glass removed,
cracked or broken.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
WARNING
Check all local building and safety codes before
installation. The installation instructions and appro-
priate 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.
The installation of this appliance must conform to local codes and appli-
cable 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
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 Mobile Home Installations on Page
11, for additional requirements). These requirements must be met unless
otherwise specified by state or local authorities.
Electrical
• The fireplace insert requires 120 volts AC for operation.
• Maximum wattage is 700.
• Igniter wattage is 400.
• Normal operating wattage is 300.
Electrical Generator Operation
Your Winslow™ PI40 insert can be powered with a gas driven electrical
gererator. However, the generator’s electrical regulator may not be compat-
ible with the insert’s electronics. The higher the quality of the gererator,
the greater the chance that it is compatible with the insert.
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 manufactur-
ers’ instructions.
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 ground-
ing prong from this plug. Do not route power cord
under or in front of appliance.
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 require-
ments in your area.
Installation / Maintenance Standards - National Fire Protection Associa-
tion – The primary NFPA standard that refers to installation and main-
tenance of pellet appliances and venting is NFPA 211 – Latest Edition:
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel appliances.
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
SELECTING A LOCATION
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 nega-
tive 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 appli-
ances, 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.
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
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
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 insert 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

• Max. feed rate is 4.5 pounds/hour or 37,500 BTU/hour
• Min. feed rate is 1.8 pounds/hour or 15,120 BTU/hour
Venting
This fireplace insert is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL
pellet vent pipe or listed pellet flex liner. We recommend the use of
venting products manufactured by Security Chimneys International.
The flue collar on the fireplace insert accepts 3” diameter pipe. The vent
pipe can be installed vertically or horizontally (see Venting section for
recommended installations).
The combustion air for this fireplace insert is drawn through a pipe at
the lower rear of the fireplace insert. For mobile home installations a 2”
ID flex line or pipe can be attached to the fireplace insert’s air intake to
draw air from outside the house.
Note: When installing this stove at altitudes of 4000 feet and above, we
suggest the use of 4” pellet vent.
Thermostat
This fireplace insert can be operated manually or with a thermostat.
Lighting
This fireplace insert is equipped with an electric self ignitor for ease of
ignition.
Fuel Specifications
This insert 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 insert 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 insert. Any questions regarding pellet fuel
can be answered at the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI), www.pelletheat.org.
• 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.

Control Board Installation
The Winslow PI40 insert is shipped with the control board wrapped and
placed behind the firebox. To install the control board, unwrap it and
the right side surround panel found in the surround kit. There are four
prongs protruding from the surround. Place the two slots in the bottom
and the two holes in the top of the control board over the four prongs
on the surround panel. Install the surround panels following the instruc-
tions on Page 10.
Venting
This fireplace insert is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL
pellet vent pipe (listed to UL 641 and ULC S609) or listed pellet flex liner
(2100HT [degree F.] liner listed to UL 1777 or ULC S635). We recom-
mend the use of venting products manufactured by Security Chimneys
International. The insert’s flue collar is 3” in diameter. The insert’s com-
bustion blower pressurizes and pushes flue gases out the pellet pipe. All
pipe joints should be locked together or screwed with three screws if the
pipe does not have a locking system. The pipe joints can be sealed with
high temperature silicone if there is a possibility of flue gases leaking
into the living area. The pipe should be fastened with three screws to the
insert’s flue collar. The longer the run of pipe and the more elbows used,
the greater the resistance to the flow of flue gases. Four inch diameter
pellet pipe is recommended for pipe runs greater than 15 feet or when a
number of elbows are used. A 3-4” increaser can be used to connect the
4” pipe to the 3” flue collar. The outside air pipe may run up the chimney,
horizontally, or down provided the structural integrity of the fireplace and
chimney system are maintained. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN
THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. DO NOT CONNECT THIS
UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Vent Termination Requirements:
If the insert is not vented vertically, the following apply:
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
insert 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
12” minimum. 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.

Vent Termination Locations

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
*The block off panel should be
air tight to ensure smoke does
not enter the house and to help
establish chimney draft when the
pipe does not terminate at the top
of the chimney.
Damper
Block Off Panel*
The recommended pipe installation is running the pellet pipe
from the insert all the way to the top of the chimney. However,
the pipe may terminate inside the chimney above the damper if
the chimney is sealed below the pellet pipe termination with a
block off panel (see Figure 10). The insert can also be vented
horizontally out the back of the fireplace, but a listed pellet pipe
thimble must be used if the pipe goes through a combustible wall
and the structural integrity of the fireplace and chimney system
must be maintained.
Insert Leveling
Inside the firebox is a bag of hardware with four 4”x 3/8” carriage
bolts. If the insert needs to be leveled, install one of these bolts
(from the bottom side) in the nuts at the left and right rear of the
base of the insert. Open the front door and remove the bolts screwed
into the nuts at the left and right front of the firebox floor.
From the bottom outside of the insert, install the remaining two
carriage bolts in the nuts from which the bolts were just removed.
A zero clearance front support is available to fill the space between
the insert and hearth.
Surround (Flange) Installation
To install the surround panels:
1. Remove the side doors (see Page 23
) to access the surround
mounting brackets. Remove the speed nuts from the parts bag
found in the firebox. Install the six speed nuts (with the flat
surface forward) on the six surround mounting bracket holes,
three on each side of the insert. A flat-bladed screwdriver may
help in installing the nuts. See the expanded view in Figure
11A.
2. Screw the six 1/4” truss head screws partially into the speed
nuts (see A in Figure 11A).
3. The side surround panel with the small access door for the
control board goes on the right side of the insert (see Figures
11B and 11C
). Slide the slots in the side surround panels and
top surround panels behind the heads of the truss screws.
Tighten all six truss screws after shifting surround panels to
eliminate space between the side and top surround panels.
4. Install two spring clips approximately five inches from each
end of each of the three trim pieces. The spring clips should be
installed in the channel of the trim with the curved portion of
the clip to the front toward the rounded surface of the trim.
5. Place the longest trim piece with the rounded surface out along
the edge of the top surround panel with the spring clips slightly
behind the surround panel. Pull the trim forward, compressing
the spring clips, and slide the trim down onto the surround.
6. Insert the elbowed retainer in the mitred end of the side trim
pieces and fasten with flat screwdriver. Insert the other end
of the retainer in the end of the already installed top surround
trim and slide side trim onto the edge of the side surround
compressing the spring clips in the process. Repeat the same
steps for the other side trim. Fasten the elbowed retainer
securely in the top surround making a nice mitred corner.

Mobile Home Installations
The following steps are required for installation of the Winslow™
PI40 insert in mobile homes. See Figure 12.
1. Connecting the Winslow PI40 insert to outside combustion
air is optional, except in mobile home installations and when
required by local building codes. The insert’s air intake will
accept 2” ID pipe to accommodate outside air installations.
The air intake on the exterior of the home should always
be located substantially below the flue termination and
terminate with a cover to keep out weather and pests.
2. The insert must be fastened to the hearth/floor using lag
screws. The screws can be inserted through the holes in
the base located behind the side doors. If the hearth is
concrete or masonry, use proper lag bolts and methods
designed for anchoring to masonry or concrete.
3. The insert must be grounded with a #8 or larger copper
wire.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS INSERT IN A SLEEP-
ING ROOM IN A MANUFACTURED HOME.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEIL-
ING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
