INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the HYBRID-35 pellet stove & insert. You are now prepared to burn wood in
the most efficient, convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most efficient and most enjoyable
performance from your stove, you must do three things: 1) Install it properly; 2) Operate it correctly;
and 3) Maintain it regularly. The purpose of this manual is to help you do all three.
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.
Your HYBRID-35 has been independently tested to ASTM E1509-04 Standard Specification for room
heaters, pellet fuel burning type 1 and the HYBRID-35 insert has been independently tested to ASTM
E1509-04 Standard Specification for room heaters, pellet fuel burning type 1, UL 1482-1998 Standard
for solid fuel room heaters and ULC-S628-93 Standard for fireplace inserts.
This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and
This appliance is designed for use with pelletized wood only. Do not burn coal of any type in this appliance. It is designed for residential installation according to current national and local building
codes as a freestanding or insert room heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater which is
designed for connection to an outside combustion air source.
The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blowers and fuel feed
system.
This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the fire in order to burn
free of smoke and soot. Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously degrade its
performance and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window. For best operation,
the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the calorific value approximately 8,200
BTU/LB. Avoid burning high ash content fuels because this will rapidly fill up the burn pot and
eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
The HYBRID-35 should not be used for commercial or industrial applications since operational control
is often not well managed in these settings
CSA-C22.1.

EQUIVALENT VENT LENGHT (EVL)
The longer the run of pipe in your installation, the more restriction there is
in the system. Therefore, larger diameter pipe should be used for longer
runs.
• Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Length
(EVL).
• Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL.
• To calculate EVL, use the following conversions table:
Qty Type of pipe EVL equivalent(ft)
1 90° elbow or “T” 5
1 45° elbow 3
1 ft Horizontal pipe run 1
1 ft Vertical pipe run 0.5
NOTE: At altitudes above 3,000 feet, we suggest the use of 4” diameter
vent at an EVL of 7 feet or more.
Here is an example on how to calculate the EVL of your installation. (See
Figure 16)
(3 x 4’ of vertical length = 12’ x 0.5 = 6 EVL) + (1 x elbow or "T" = 5 EVL) +
(2 x 1’ of horizontal length = 2 EVL)
Total EVL = (6 + 5 +2) = 13. So 3” diameter vent is allowed
1. Position stove, adhering to clearances shown in Figures 1 & 2.
2. Determine position of hole in wall; directly behind stove exhaust vent
(refer to figure 4).
3. Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials.
4. Install L-Vent wall thimble per L-Vent manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Attach enough piping to go through and extend at least 6” beyond
exterior wall. An 8-foot vertical pipe run is suggested where possible
to reduce the possibility of smoke spillage caused by negative
pressure.
6. Attach cap and seal outside wall thimbles with non-hardening
waterproof mastic.
Termination should not be located so that hot exhaust gases can ignite
trees, shrubs, or grasses or be a hazard to children. Exhaust gases can
reach temperatures of 500ºF and cause serious burns if touched.

OPTION: To achieve a centered vertical installation, a 45º elbow and a
clean-out tee can be used to offset the pipe from the exhaust outlet to the
rear center of the stove.
OPTION: Install L-Vent elbow in place of clean-out tee. Locate stove. Drop
plumb bob to center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling. Install ceiling
support and L-Vent pipe per L-Vent manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials. When
passing through additional floors or ceilings, always install firestop
spacer.
2. After lining up for hole in roof, cut either a round or square hole in roof,
always 3” larger all the way around pipe. Install upper edge and sides
of flashing under roofing materials, nail to the roof along upper edge.
Do not nail lower edge. Seal nail heads with flexible waterproof
sealant.
3. Apply flexible, waterproof sealant where the storm collar meets the
vent. Slide storm collar down until it sits on the flashing. Seal and
install cap. Mobile home installations must use a spark arrester.
VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM
As an alternative, 3” or 4” L-Vent can be run inside existing chimney to
termination(Figure 19). This is the preferred method.
Follow guidelines for equivalent vent length.
