IMPORTANT WARNINGS
CAUTION: Read this manual thoroughly before starting installation. For your safety, follow the installation, op­eration 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 restrictions 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 pellet­fired 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 is gas tight 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. This stove is not intended for use in commercial installations other than where the stove is being sold without prior approval from Lennox Hearth Products.
9. The stove will not operate using natural draft, nor without a power source for the blower and fuel feeding systems.
10. 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.
11. 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 blower speed control should be turned to high when operating the stove on the high heat setting.
12. 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 fin-
Page 2
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.
13. 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.
14. APPROVED FUEL: This appliance is designed spe­cifically for use only with pelletized wood fuels only. With its advanced UltraGrate technology, 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 more informa­tion on approved pellet fuels.
15. 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.
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 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.

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.
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 70-1987. In Canada, CSA C22.1
Power Supply Requirements
must be plugged into a standard, 115 volt, 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. The approximate power requirement is 200 watts, and will peak up to 700 watts for approximately 6 minutes when the self-igniter is operating (it will turn off 2 min­utes after flame detection). 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 (mobile) home appliance must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis (see page 7, Manufactured (Mobile) Home Requirements for additional re­quirements). 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.
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?

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: Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel appli­ances, Jan. 2000.
SELECTING A LOCATION The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine its value as a source of heat. A wood 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.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
FLOOR PROTECTION
This appliance requires noncombustible floor protection. If the floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mor­tared or grouted to form a continuous non-combustible surface. If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor, the protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2" to either side.
A noncombustible 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 as illustrated below.
*Note: When installed at clearances less than 6”, floor protection is only required to extend to the wall.

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 - Review the appliance clearance requirements before installing the venting system (see Clearances, 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” (pellet vent pipe, sometimes referred to as “L-Vent pellet vent”), which conforms to UL standard 641. Connect the pellet vent pipe or the “tee” to the flue collar using a minimum of three screws and seal as specified in “Pipe 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 12 for determining correct size vent to use. Use a 3” (75mm) to 4” (100mm) adapter (Cat. No. 14M81) or a 3” (75mm) to 4” (100mm) “tee” in order to run 4” (100mm) pipe.
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).
Notes: All pellet vent pipe requires 3” (75mm) clearance from outside of pipe unless otherwise specified by vent manu­facturer.
A support bracket should 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. Use RTV silicone with a rating of at least 570° F (969° C), or Interam to provide a complete seal at the flue collar and on all joints.
Connection to Masonry Chimney through a Wall - Be sure to verify the construction of a masonry chimney, as it may have combustible framing.
The use of single wall flex or rigid 24 gage stainless steel pipe as a liner is approved.
Connection to an Existing Class A Chimney - A chim­ney adapter can be used to make the connection from 3” / 75mm or 4” / 100mm pellet vent pipe to existing UL chimney system. Verify with the pipe manufacturer that your pipe brands will interconnect. The use of single wall flex or rigid pipe (24 gage stainless steel) as a liner is approved.
Direct-Vent Installations (Horizontal): On all direct-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 ¼” (7mm) rise per foot horizontal).
Note: It is not recommended to terminate exhaust vent on the prevailing wind side of the house.
Chimney Height Requirements
The vent termination height required is 12” minimum above the roof penetration point as illustrated below (Ref. National Standard, NFPA 7-4.1). Check with your local building official for additional requirements for your area.

INSTALLING YOUR PELLET STOVE
Standard Horizontal Exhaust Installation (Direct Vent)
1. Locate the proper position for the listed type “PL” wall thimble. Avoid cutting wall studs when installing your pipe. Use a saber saw or keyhole saw to cut the proper diameter hole through the wall to accom­modate the wall thimble. Use extreme caution to avoid cutting into power lines within the wall of the home. The hole size will depend on the brand of pellet vent that you are using. Install the wall thimble in the hole.
ALL INTERLOCKING PIPE CONNECTIONS WITH­IN THE ROOM MUST BE SEALED WITH RTV AND SECURED WITH A MINIMUM OF 3 FASTENERS PER CONNECTION.
2. Position the stove approximately 12” (.3M) from the wall on the floor pad. Push listed type “PL” pipe through wall thimble. Squeeze a bead of high tem­perature silicone (RTV) sealer around the end of the machined portion of the 3” (75mm) pipe connector on the back of the stove. Firmly push on a section of listed type “PL” pipe until inner pipe liner pushes into the bead of RTV sealer
3. Push the stove (with pipe attached) towards wall. Pipe will go through the wall thimble. Do not position the back of the stove closer than 1” (25mm) from the wall.
NOTE: Greater back clearance will improve the ser­viceability of the stove.
4. Install listed type “PL” 45-degree elbow with rodent screen or cap (optional) on outside end of pipe. The rodent screen should be no less than 1/2” (13mm) mesh and may clog with soot and ash if left unat­tended during the burn season.
NOTE: The end of the exhaust pipe must extend a minimum of 12” (.3M) from the outside of the building.
5. If the installation includes a source of outside com­bustion air; cut a separate hole through the wall for the fresh air tube. This tube should be 1-5/8” (42mm) [min.] diameter, steel only. Connect outside air pipe to air inlet on stove. This tube must be terminated with a 90 degree elbow or hood.
NOTE: Combustion air may also be drawn from a vented crawl space under the home. All joints for con­nector pipe are required to be fastened with at least three screws. If vented horizontally, joints shall be made gas-tight in a manner as specified above. Install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.
Page 13
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS – Standard Horizontal Installations
If you vent to the fur­thest wall, the vent pipe must maintain a 3” clearance parallel to the other wall.
Note: Horizontal run of pipe requires 1/4” / 7 mm rise per foot.
Page 14
INSTALLATION
Installation Configurations / Standard Venting Options
This appliance may be connected to an existing flue or by installing listed type “PL” vent pipe. If a liner is run all the way to the top of the existing chimney, the existing flue should be sealed with a steel plate. Start a vertical run with a Tee at the back of the stove. Other options are illustrated below. Note: See page 11 for Vent Termi­nation Requirements.
Preferred Installation – Vertical Vent Through the Roof. This venting configuration allows for the best stove performance. The vertical pipe promotes natural draft and with the chimney inside the dwelling, the flue gases stay warm, thus rising at a consistent rate.

CONTROL BOARD OPERATION Stove On / Off Button – This button will turn your
stove on or off while in Manual or Automatic mode (see page 19 for details). The green on / off light at the top of control board will indicate the on / off status.
Heat Output Button – The heat output button has three selection settings, Low, Medium and High. Pressing the button will scroll the red indicator lights from Low to High. The button controls the pellet feed and combustion airflow simultaneously. The control board is preset to provide the optimum ratio of fuel and air at each setting. Settings can be changed at any time but will only take affect after the start-up cycle is complete. Each press of the Heat Button will increase the heat output, and will scroll to the lowest setting af­ter reaching the maximum setting.
Blower – The blower button operates the room air blower. This will change the flow of hot air into the room. Three choices are available Low, Medium, and High. When the Blower Button is pressed the yellow indicator light will scroll to Low, Medium, or High. NOTE: When running your stove on high heat output, the control board will not allow you to select the low blower speed. This is a safety precaution to protect against overheating. Blower settings can be changed at any time, but will only take affect after the start-up cycle is complete.
Fault Mode – The control system automatically moni­tors the flame using a photoeye. If the stove runs out of pellets the control board automatically goes into a “fault” status. The control board will initiate the shut down cycle and safely shut down the stove leaving it in the “fault” mode. The on / off indicator light near the top of the control board will flash rapidly when in this mode. After refilling the hopper with pellets, press the Start Button. If a thermostat is not being used the stove will go into the start-up cycle. If a thermostat is being used the stove will go into the start-up cycle if the thermostat is in the demand mode. If the thermo-
stat is in the stand-by mode when the fault is cleared, the stove will remain in the stand-by mode until it closes again.
NOTE – If the fuel feed trim or combustion air trim needs to be adjusted, contact an authorized Lennox Hearth Products Technician to calibrate internal soft­ware. It is recommended that the damper be used to fine-tune your stove to your particular fuel and installa­tion configuration (see Damper Adjustment on page 8 and Damper Adjustment Guideline on page 20).

Note: The control board is equipped with an internal memory which will recall the last setting and mode the stove was in prior to loss of power. Because we individually check each stove prior to packaging, one of the two scenarios will appear when you first plug in your stove.
1). The Green LED at the top of the control board will illu­minate and the blowers will be running. This is a stan­dard cool down mode and will last no longer than five minutes. This happens during testing when the stove is turned off (which initiates cool down mode) and then is unplugged.
2). The Green LED at the top will illuminate and the red and yellow LED’s will illuminate on the control board, indicating that the stove is in the run mode. This hap­pens during testing if the stove is unplugged without first turning the control board off (the control board re­members its last setting, which was the run mode).
If your stove follows that described in number 2 above, simply press the ON / OFF button once to turn the stove off, this will initiate the cool down mode. The stove can be restarted at any time during the cool down mode by press­ing the ON / OFF button once.
Start-up Sequence of Events
1. Fault time delay is initiated (14 minutes 15 seconds).
2. Fuel feed rate of 100% for 1 minute 50 seconds (when trim left at factory setting of 0) auger trim setting ranges from 1:26 to 2:14 depending on -4 to +4 respectively.
3. Exhaust blower operation starts (medium range volt­age).
4. Room air blower operation starts (medium range volt­age).Power LED is activated (steady green).
6. Igniter operation activated (line voltage).
7. Photoeye looks for flame (flame dominance scheme).
8. * If needed second & third fuel dumps are available at predetermined time deliveries (4 minutes & 6 minutes after initial).

Your pellet stove can be operated in either manual or automatic mode. The manual mode is used when op­erating without a thermostat. The automatic mode is used when utilizing a wall thermostat. When utilizing the thermostat capability the burn time can be extended dramatically depending on thermostat setting. Note: It is normal for some ash to build up on the inner glass sur­face at the lower burn settings.
Initial Start-Up / Empty Hopper or Feed Tube:
During an initial start-up, or in the case where the hop­per has run out of fuel, it will be necessary to prime the auger feed system. The control board is set to deliver fuel for approximately 2 1/2 minutes during start-up, which, with a fully primed auger tube, will provide the appropriate amount of fuel for ignition.
When first starting your pellet stove, it will be necessary to prime the auger tube. To prime the auger tube you need to first fill the hopper with pellets, and press the ON button on the control board. Wait approximately 2 1/2 minutes and turn the control OFF and then back ON again. Wait an additional 2 1/2 minutes (if necessary) and continue this process until fuel begins to fall into the UltraGrate. Remember, different brand fuels feed at different rates.
Once fuel starts to enter the UltraGrate, turn the stove OFF and then back ON. The auger tube should now be primed and the stove should deliver enough fuel for proper ignition. It may be necessary to follow these pro­cedures in the event that the hopper runs completely out of fuel.
Page 18
CARE AND OPERATION
Manual Operation:
Pressing the stove ON / OFF switch initiates the start-up cycle. The green ON / OFF light, near the top of the con­trol board, will light up to indicate the “on” status. The fan speeds and pellet feeds are fixed during this time to pro­vide appropriate ignition. The Fast-Fire igniter system will light the pellets feeding to the UltraGrate, after about 3 minutes. The start-up cycle is in effect for approximately 2 minutes after flame is detected in the UltraGrate. A photoeye monitors the existence of flame. After the start­up cycle your stove will be in the run mode. At this point the stove will operate in the heat output and blower set­tings selected. These settings can be selected either dur­ing or after the start-up cycle. Pressing the stove ON / OFF switch during the run mode will initiate the shut down cycle. The ON / OFF indicator light will turn off. The pel­lets will stop feeding and the blowers will run at a fixed speed for approximately 10 minutes. At this point your stove is safely shut down and can ONLY be re-started by pressing the stove ON / OFF switch again.
Automatic Operation:
Your stove is capable of running in an automatic mode with the use of a wall thermostat. NOTE: For the thermo­stat to control the operation of the stove, the “on” status must be active on the stove’s on / off switch. The thermo­stat will establish either a demand mode or a stand-by mode. The thermostat should be set for the desired room temperature. If the room temperature drops below the level on the thermostat the stove will automatically begin the start-up cycle, as explained above in the Manual Op­eration section. Once the start-up cycle is completed the stove will operate in whatever heat and blower setting you have selected. For best operation under thermostat con­trol, the Medium or High settings recommended. When the desired room temperature is reached, the stove will automatically go into the shut down cycle. The pellet feed will stop and the blowers will continue for a controlled time allowing safe shut down of your stove. All lights will re­main on when the thermostat is open. The heat and blower settings can be changed at any time, but only take affect during the run mode. When the temperature in the room drops to the level set at the thermostat, the stove will again begin the start-up cycle and resume automatic op­eration in the demand mode.
NOTE: If the stove on / off switch is pressed while the thermostat is in the standby mode the stove will not restart until the thermostat closes.
Lighting Procedure Without Igniter
Your pellet stove can be lit manually without using the automatic igniter by following the procedure below. If your stove is set up to run on a thermostat, the thermo­stat circuit needs to be closed (as if permanently in the demand mode). The thermostat wires should be re­moved from the rear of the stove and replaced with the jumper originally supplied with your stove. If a jumper is not available the thermostat should be set to the highest setting. This will keep the stove in the demand mode. If your automatic ignition system should ever need trou­bleshooting, repair or replacement, please contact your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer.
1. Press the ON switch on the control board.
2. Wait approximately 2 1/2 minutes while the pellets prime the grate (the pellets will stop feeding auto­matically).
3. Place a small amount of an approved (non-volatile) fire starter on top of the pellets in the grate, (see your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer for appropriate fire starting products). DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START YOUR STOVE!
4. Light the “fire starter” with a match and close the door.
5. The photoeye will detect that a flame is present and will begin feeding pellets in approximately 2 min­utes.
6. The control board will continue to go through the normal start-up cycle and the flame should be well established within 10 minutes from the time the ON button was initially pressed. Remember – you are now in manual mode and heat settings should be selected to the desired room heat level.
Turning Off Your Stove
Press the stove on / off switch to initiate the shut down cycle. The pellets will stop feeding and the blowers will continue to run on a timed cycle. The stove will shut down safely upon completion of the shut down cycle.
Page 19
CARE AND OPERATION
DAMPER OPERATION
The damper is a plate that helps control the amount of airflow supplied for combustion. With the damper pushed in all the way, the airflow is at its minimum. As the damper is pulled out, more air is allowed to flow.
It will be necessary to monitor the appearance of the flame during the first 4-8 bags of pellets. If your flame is smoky red / orange with evidence of soot at the top of the flame, you need more combustion air; pull the damper out one notch and re-evaluate the appearance of the flame. It may be necessary to continue this process, moving the damper one notch at a time until proper com­bustion is attained (the flame should become yellow and begin to “dance”). If the flame is “short” at the higher burn rates, or if the pellets are burning up in the grate before new pellets are fed into the fire, push the damper in one notch and monitor the flame. Continue the proc­ess of moving the damper one notch at a time and evalu­ating the flame until proper flame appearance is achieved.
Once the damper has been properly set, it should not need adjusting unless you are changing the grade of pel­let fuel, in which case the damper may need to adjusted.
DAMPER ADJUSTMENT GUIDELINE Lack of Combustion Air: By opening the damper, this
will increase combustion air delivery. Symptoms of insuf­ficient combustion air include; unburned fuel, lazy smoky or red / orange flame, excessive ash or soot, excessive buildup on glass.
Contributing factors:
High Altitude – Lack of oxygen
Restrictive Venting (elbows, horizontal runs,
cold external chimneys, etc.).
Note: Excessive amounts of fly ash built-up in the grate, clinkers in the grate or leakage of air (if the grate is not properly seated) will starve the fire for air. See Routine Maintenance, pages 22-25 for information on cleaning the stove.
Dirty / Poor Quality Fuel.
Excessive Combustion Air: By closing the damper, this will reduce combustion air delivery. Symptoms of excessive air include; fuel burns too quickly (results in smoking or smoldering pellets), white to yellow flame, etc. If the damper is open too much, the burning pellets will lift off the grate and fly up into the air much like popping corn does.
Contributing factor:
Correct Combustion Air / Proper Burn Characteris- tics: When the damper is correctly set, the burning pel-
lets should move (wiggle) around slightly and the flame should be bright yellow.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES Power Outage:
During a power outage, the stove will shut down safely. The stove will automatically restart when power is re­sumed. The solid state control board has an internal memory that will retain heat output and blower speed settings through voltage interruptions.
A small amount of smoke may leak from the top of the window glass, the hopper and from the combus­tion air intake, if the stove is vented horizontally with no vertical pipe. This will not persist for more than 3 to 5
minutes and will not be safety hazard. It may set off your smoke alarm.
Note: If the area in which you live is prone to frequent power outages, it is recommended that a minimum of 8 feet (2 ½ meters) of vertical vent pipe be included in a freestanding installation to induce a natural draft in the event of a power failure.
Overheating:
A high temperature disc (thermal switch) will automati­cally shut down the stove if it overheats. Allow up to 45 minutes cooling time before re-lighting. Keep enough convection air going through stove to keep it cooling properly, this will ensure long life of the stove. If the over­heating continues, contact your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer for more information.

CARE AND OPERATION
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Using the UltraGrate burn system, this appliance has been designed to burn wood residue pellets with up to 3% ash content. Agricultural pellets (i.e…corn, alfalfa etc.) are not permitted to be burned in the stove. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the performance of the stove.
Caution: The use of unapproved, dirty, wet and / or high salt content fuel will void the warranty!
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 & premium grade residential pellet fuel is as follows:
CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m..
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
Pellet Feed / Pellet Size:
The pellet feed system is designed to handle a wide range of pellet sizes up to a maximum of 5/16" diameter. Different pellets may feed at considerably different rates. You may notice a difference in the burn if you change pellet fuel sizes. The longer the pellet, the slower it will feed and vice versa. If the stove will not stay burning at the minimum fuel feed setting, those particular pellets may not be feeding fast enough. If this happens, reduce the amount of combustion air by adjusting the damper. See page 8 before adjusting the damper.
Long Burn Time:
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 blower speed control should be turned to high when operating the stove on the high heat setting. A lower heat setting is recommended for over­night operation or when the room is vacated for long pe­riods of time.
Note: See Fuel Delivery Rate on page 18 for burn times.
CLINKERING
Silica (or sand) in the fuel, along with other impurities, can cause clinkering. A clinker is a hard mass of silica formed in the burning process. Clinkering is a function of the fuel, (not the stove), but adversely affects the per­formance of the stove by blocking off the air passages in the grate. Even P.F.I. approved pellet fuel may tend to clinker. A clinker can be removed from the UltraGrate and placed in the ash pan with the use of the grate scraper / ash pan tool furnished with your stove. See Routine Maintenance, pages 22-25 for more information on cleaning.
ASH
The frequency of removal of the ash and maintenance performed on the stove is directly proportional to the ash content of the fuel and the operation duration of your pel­let stove. Low ash fuel may allow longer intervals be­tween cleaning, however, a stove burning high ash fuel may need to be cleaned as often as everyday.
PLEASE NOTE: Lennox Hearth Products has no control over the manufacturing of pellet fuel and will not be held responsible for poor stove performance or any damage caused by inferior pellet fuels.
FUEL FEED RATES
Different brands of pellets will feed at varying rates due to their size and density (length and diameter). This may require a slight adjustment in the damper control (see page 8) or the fuel feed trim to compensate (see Note on page 16).

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
* Inspect your stove or insert at minimum frequency stated until you establish a minimum frequency required for your installation (frequency will vary depending upon fuel BTU value / ash content, usage, and misc. installation variables).
ROUTINE CLEANING
Note: Stove will need to be shut off and cooled enough to handle before routine cleaning is performed. Always disconnect power before doing any routine clean­ing.
The following areas need to be inspected and cleaned during routine cleaning:
UltraGrate (burn grate)
Ash Slide Plate
Ash Pan
Heat Exchange Tubes
Photoeye
Exhaust Passages and Vent Pipe
Gaskets
Window Wash
Rear Stove Compartment
UltraGrate (BURN GRATE)
The UltraGrate should be inspected periodically to as­sure that the air holes have not become clogged with ash or clinkers. The UltraGrate can easily be cleaned with the grate scraper / ash pan tool, or it can be removed for cleaning. It is very important to monitor the ash build up under the UltraGrate, as excessive amounts of ash will block combustion air from entering the grate, causing pellets to pile-up in the grate. The ash build-up under the grate is easily dumped into the ash pan by pulling out the ash slide weekly as shown below. The grate cleaning procedure is the same for all models.
UltraGrate
ASH PAN
The ash pan will have to be emptied periodically, de­pending on amount of fuel consumed. The T300P Series ash pan is pulled straight out using the black pull knob located on the front of the ash pan (see following pic­ture).
Ash Pan
* (Recommended Frequency of 2 days – 2 weeks)
ASH SLIDE PLATE
Ash that accumulates around the grate can be “dropped” into the ash pan without opening the firebox door. Simply pull open the ash release slide plate as shown in photo using the grate scraper tool provided. Remove the ash pan as shown. Note: Make sure to fully close the plates when finished. Failure to close the ash release slide plates completely may cause the fuel to burn poorly (due to reduced airflow through the grate), which may then cause pellets to “pile up” in the grate.

Annual Maintenance Procedure: Clean Photoeye Lens:
1. To access photoeye, remove cast top by lifting off, then remove the 3 nuts on the cover plate (see picture above).
2. Lift off cover plate and turn over (the photoeye is at­tached to the inside surface of cover). Wipe away any dust or debris from the photoeye lens (see fol­lowing picture).
Clean Filter Lens:
1. With the photoeye cover plate removed, look inside the opening. You will see an amber colored square glass filter secured in place by a bracket and 2 nuts (it is on the left when viewed while facing the front of the stove). Using a 11/32" nut driver, remove the 2 nuts and lift off the bracket. Using your finger slide fil­ter up and out.
2. Wipe away any dust or debris from filter, then rein­stall filter, filter bracket and cover plate with photo­eye.
IMPORTANT: When reinstalling photoeye and cover, be careful not to bend bracket or damage wires. Pay special attention in positioning wires away from pho­toeye (which could obstruct it from sensing light).
* (Minimum frequency of 4 weeks - 6 months)
EXHAUST PASSAGES AND VENT PIPE
Inspect frequently and clean when necessary. Fly ash will accumulate at all bends in the exhaust system.
Note: Large amounts of fly ash build-up will create a lack of combustion air. Removing the Tee cap on vertical in­stallations will allow an inspection of the ash build-up in the exhaust Tee and will help you to decide how fre­quently more extensive cleaning must be performed.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES
ONLY CLEAN HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES AFTER STOVE HAS COOLED DOWN. A rod is located above the heat exchange baffle (inside of firebox) is used for cleaning the tubes. After opening the firebox door, use the hole in the handle of the grate scraper tool to “grab” onto the rod (see pictures on this page). Using the grate scraper tool, pull the rod up and out towards the opening of the firebox. Continue pulling until the tube scraper reaches the top of the firebox.
It may be easier to clean the tubes by first removing the heat exchanger baffle. Loosen the two screws holding the baffle in place (do not fully remove). The baffle con­tains keyhole slots allowing the screws to remain in place while removing the baffle. The scraper can now be pulled in a more horizontal manner, which allows the scraper to move more freely.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
DOOR ROPE GASKET
The condition of the rope gasket around the door and windows should be checked periodically and replaced or repaired if necessary. A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in several different locations and pull. It is normal to feel only a slight amount of fric­tion. The door gasket does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your stove.
Door Rope Gasket

REAR STOVE COMPARTMENT
The rear stove compartment should be cleaned periodi­cally (a minimum of once a year). DISCONNECT ELEC­TRICAL CORD PRIOR TO CLEANING STOVE. Any household dust, pet hair or sawdust should be vac­uumed or wiped out of the rear compartment of the stove, room air blower, and Exhaust Blower (paying special attention to vacuuming out the intakes of both blowers). The electrical components should be wiped clean.
MOTOR LUBRICATION The blowers are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. Do not apply oil to any part of the
blower. Doing so may cause damage.
SMALL AREA PAINT TOUCH-UP (Model T300P only)
Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly sand the blemish so that the edges are “feathered” or smooth to the touch between the painted and bare sur­faces. Do not let the sand paper gum up with paint, as this will cause scratches on the metal surface. If there are any scratches, use 600 grit sandpaper instead. Mask off surfaces you do not want painted. Paint lightly over the bare surface first as this will act as an undercoat. Then paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes to blend.

DEFINITIONS
AIR WASH
To inhibit buildup of soot on the door glass, air is deliv­ered to the glass through an air wash system located in the doorframe surrounding the glass.
AUGER
It transfers the fuel down the burner tube into the burn grate.
AUGER MOTOR
Drives the Auger. Motor specifications are: .4 Amp, 1 rpm (revolutions per minute).
BLOWER, ROOM AIR (CONVECTION)
The blower function is to transfer the heat from the appli­ance to heat the room air.
BLOWER, EXHAUST (DRAFT INDUCER/COMBUSTION)
It has a radial impeller to deliver more air to the burn grate. It pulls air into the burn grate by creating a nega­tive pressure. This is done by extracting the exhaust gases out of the firebox and pushing the exhaust down­stream to the flue exit.
DISC, HIGH LIMIT (L250-30F, N / C)
There are 2 of these high limit discs on this model. If a temperature reaches 250° F., the high limit auto reset will “trip” and stop the flow of electricity to the auger motor. The discs will not automatically reset until it has cooled below 220° F).
Disc for Room Air Blower – This disc is located on the Room Air Blower jacket and is designed to de­tect an overfire condition.
Disc for Combustion Air Inlet – This disc is lo­cated on the combustion air inlet and is designed to detect reversed flow. If negative pressure in the dwelling (i.e. An extremely tight house which may not supply adequate combustion and ventilation air) causes the exhaust to pull back from the combus­tion air inlet, the heat from the exhaust will result in heat activation of this disc.
HOPPER
The hopper is where the pellets are stored.
HEAT OUTPUT BUTTON
This is the main power button, which controls power to the feed system auger motor and exhaust blower. It has 3 feed rate settings, which controls the burn rate.
PHOTOEYE
The photoelectric eye that senses the flame, or lack of. It is designed to signal the control board to discontinue power to the auger motor if it flame is not sensed in the UltraGrate.
PRESSURE SWITCH
A safety device used to shut off the feed system (auger motor) if there is too much back pressure in venting sys­tem. Some possible causes are as follows:
The venting system is obstructed. High altitude or other misc. environmental conditions
affecting exhaust flow.
Improper venting system.
ULTRAGRATE (BURN GRATE)
This is where combustion occurs and may be referred to as the "burn grate".
