GENERAL INTRODUCTION

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing the Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Heater.

This heater is designed for use with Pelletized Wood Only.

Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning room heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.

Keep this manual handy for future reference.

This Pellet Heater, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code in the United States.

This heater will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system.

PELLET QUALITY

Pellet quality is important, please read the following:

Your Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Heater has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do not use any other type of fuel such as ﬁ re logs or ﬁ re starting pellet, as this will void the warranties stated in this manual.

The performance and heat output of the pellet heater is directly related to the quality and moisture of the pellets.

Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption.

WARNING

It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt con-

tent. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The

Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use

of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.

P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:

Fines (ﬁ ne particles) 1% maximum through a 1/8" screen

Bulk Density 40 pound per cubic foot minimum

Size 1/4" to 5/16" diameter, 1/2" - 1 1/2" long maximum

Ash Content 1% maximum (Premium grade)

3% maximum (Standard grade)

Moisture Content 8% maximum

Heat Content Approximately 8200 BTU per pound minimum

If the fuel does not comply to this standard the unit may not operate as designed. We recommend the use of premium grade (1% ash content) for longer stove life and less frequent cleaning.

GENERAL INSTALLATION

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

WARNING

Read this entire manual before you install and use this heater. failure to follow the instructions may result in

property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

Check with local building ofﬁ cials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.

Before installing we recommend placing the heater outside and load 5 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn off the oils on the steel, there by minimizing any smell inside the home.

HEATER PLACEMENT

Have an authorized dealer install the heater. If you install the heater yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans and/or installation. Draw out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions and verify the dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual. For built-in enclosures, when determining the location of the heater, locate the wall studs (for horizontal penetrations). You may wish to adjust the heater position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member. Heater must be positioned so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes, doors), 48" of the front of the heater. If the heater is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' above the base of the heater, the installation must follow the requirements in the section "Alcove Installations Requirements"

W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

NPS40:

To install in a Residential or Mobile Home see the section "Mobile Home Requirements". For alcove installations see the section "Alcove Installation Requirements". For horizontal vent or vertical vent see the section "General Venting". See the section "Outside Air" for this option. NPI40: The insert can be adapted to vent out the rear or vertically. To install as an insert into an existing masonry ﬁ replace factory built ﬁ replace or a built in combustible enclosure see Insert Installation.

FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS

NPS40:

The heater must be installed on a non-combustible ﬂ oor protector extending the full depth of the heater and extending a minimum 6" in front and on either side (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge). The ﬂ oor protector must extend under and 2" beyond each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

NPI40: In the case of the NPI40, the ﬂ oor protector must have a R-value of 0.4 hr ft²°F BTU

SAFETY FEATURES

HIGH LIMIT SWITCH:

Your heater is equipped with a high limit switch. In the event that the temperature of the heater approaches an unsafe operating temperature, this switch will shut down the pellet feed, which will eventually shut down the unit. If this happens, it is important to ﬁ nd out why the unit overheated. Contact your local dealer.

LOW LIMIT SWITCH:

This switch will automatically shut down the heater if the ﬁ re goes out.

BLOWER OVER-RIDE SWITCH:

Your heater is equipped with a convection blower that circulates hot air into your room. This switch will automatically turn the blower on, when the temperature at the back of the ﬁ re box reaches a certain temperature. The blower can cycle from your desired setting to maximum speed depending on the feed rate. When the heater cools back down, the blower will return to the initial setting.

VACUUM SWITCH:

This switch will sense lack of air ﬂ ow through the heater and shut down the pellet feed. This lack of ﬂ ow could be caused by a blocked vent.

POWER FAILURE:

In the event of a power failure, the heater will shut down. Once power is restored, the heater will re-start, unless the convection air temperature has gone above the high limit switch setting. If this happens, contact your local dealer.

OUTSIDE AIR

Available from your Napoleon Dealer (114KT) Outside air must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage, unventilated crawl space).

NOTE: Wolf Steel Ltd. strongly suggests using outside air for all residential installations, especially for those that are energy efﬁ cient, air-tight homes.

Outside air supply must not be over 15' long. Outside air vents must be made with 1 3/4" diameter or larger metal or aluminum duct with a metal screen attached to the end to keep out rodents (P.V.C. or other materials may not be used). The outside air inlet must not be above or within 12" of the chimney termination, must have a rain cap or down-turned elbow to prevent the water from entering and be located so that it will not become plugged by snow or other material.

Outside air is mandatory for a combustible built-in enclosure install for the NPI40.

W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08

MOBILE HOME

Installation into a manufactured home or mobile home should be installed in accordance with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, in the United States or the Mobile Home Standard, CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series, in Canada.

The heater must be grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home (Some states do not require this; check with your local building department).

Figure 5

WARNING

Do not install in a sleeping room.

The structural integrity of the manufactured home ﬂ oor, wall, and ceiling roof

must be maintained.

GENERAL VENTING

PELLET VENT MUST MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 3" CLEARANCE TO ANY COMBUSTIBLE (install vent at clearances speciﬁ ed by the vent manufacturer).

DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT OR CHIMNEY SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR HEATER. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

TYPE OF VENT

Must be an approved 3" or 4" Diameter Type "L" or "PL" vent, vented to the outside or connect the vent to a factory built type "A" chimney using an adaptor; and/or stainless steel chimney liner for masonry ﬁ replace installations. Use 4" diameter vent if vent or liner height is over 15' or if installation is over 4,000' above sea level.

INSTALLING THE PELLET VENT

The vent must have a support bracket every 5' when on the exterior wall. To achieve optimum performance, keep vent runs as short as possible, especially on horizontal installations.

MAXIMUM VENTING:

Maximum venting height is 33'. Maximum horizontal offset is 10'. Use no more than 180° of elbows (two 90' elbows, or two 45' elbows and one 90' elbow, etc), plus termination.

VENT INSTALLATION:

Termination must exhaust above the air inlet elevation, and parallel or above the exhaust output of the pellet appliance. It is recommended that at least 3' of vertical pipe be installed to create some natural draft. This is to help prevent the possibility of smoke or odour during the appliance shut down or in the event of a power outage. Horizontal sections must have a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel if longer than 3'.

The pellet vent connections must be sealed with HI-Temp RTV Silicone and screwed together with at least 3 3/8" long stainless steel screws. Seal each vent section by injecting a liberal amount of 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone sealant into the gap. We recommend sealing the outside of the vent connections to permit easier access when servicing.

W415-0616 / C / 06.04.08

Figure 6

VENTING THE PELLET HEATER

Use an approved wall thimble when passing the vent through walls and a ceiling support/ﬁ re stop spacer when passing the vent through ceilings (maintain a 3" clearance to any combustibles).

PELLET VENT TERMINATION

The vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering) or a 45° downturn.

If the termination is located on a windy side of the house, a shield is recommended to prevent soot from building up on the side of the house.

Horizontal terminations must protrude 12" from the wall, vertical terminations require a minimum 24" above the highest point that it penetrates through the roof.

Depending on pellet quality, vent conﬁ guration and air settings, black soot may occur on the terminal wall.
