NOTICE:
Do NOT Terminate Vent:
In any location that will allow ue gases or soot from en-
tering or staining the building
• In any location which could create a nuisance or hazard
In any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or porch, narrow walkway
• Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
NOTICE:
Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.
• It is recommended that at least 60 inches (1.52m) of ver­tical pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting into the home during a power outage.
• It will also keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.
• The safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically through the roof or above the roof.
10 7080-131H July 1, 2015
B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power Failure
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down con­ditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust blower operation.
Negative pressure in the house will resist this natural draft if not accounted for in the pellet appliance installation.
MT VERNON E2
Vent Confi gurations
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down conditions Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recom­mends:
• Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run of
5 feet (1.52m). Preferably terminating above the roof line.
• Installing the outside air kit at least 4 feet (1.22m) below
the vent termination.
Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels. This air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors which fl ows into lower levels of the house.
Vents and chimneys into basements and lower levels of the house can become the conduit for air supply and reverse under these conditions.
Outside Air
An outside air kit (OAK-3) is recommended in all installations and must be ordered separately.
Per national building codes, consideration must be given to combustion air supply to all combustion appliances. Failure to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance demands may lead to backdrafting of those and other appliances.
When the appliance is roof vented (strongly recommended):
The air intake is best located on the exterior wall oriented towards the prevailing wind direction during the heating season.
When the appliance is side-wall vented:
The air intake is best located on the same exterior wall as the exhaust vent outlet and located lower on the wall than the exhaust vent outlet.
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:
• Maintain specifi ed clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffi ts.
Run the vent above the roof.
• Avoid venting into alcove locations.
• Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or
onto covered porches.
• Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches (305mm)
from the vent termination to the exterior wall. If you see deposits developing on the wall, you may need to extend this distance to accommodate your installation conditions.
CAUTION
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
The outside air supply kit can supply most of the demands of the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to the total house demand.
House demand may consume the air needed for the appli­ance. It may be necessary to add additional ventilation to the space in which the pellet appliance is located.
Consult with your local HVAC professional to determine the ventilation demands for your house.
July 1, 2015 7080-131H 11
MT VERNON E2 C. Negative Pressure
WARNING
Risk of Asphyxiation!
Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail­able for the appliance to operate properly . It can be strongest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent an appli­ance successfully. When an appliance is drafting suc­cessfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney.
Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the build­ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die-down of the fi re.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the chimney system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Downdrafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm) diameter type “L” or “PL” venting system. It can be vented vertically or horizontally.
NOTE: The appliance exhaust outlet is designed to ac­commodate 3 inch venting. Use of 4 inch venting requires the use of a 3-to-4 inch exhaust vent increaser in addition to any other venting components needed, sold separate­ly.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If using the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit or the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter, use Listed double wall fl ue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit (OAK-3) must be used with manufactured home installa­tions.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical T op V ent Adapter Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) T op V ent Offset Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall fl ue connector or Listed double wall fl ue connector to Class A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International Residential Code standards for solid fuel appliances.
4. INST ALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at least 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with at least 3 screws through each joint.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F [260°C] minimum rated only).
WARNING
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED VENTING COMPONENTS; OTHERWISE MAKESHIFT PARTS MAY RESULT IN PROP­ERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

H. Trim Adjustment
Figure 22.1
(Factory default setting is -2)
More AirMore Air & Less Fuel
The small dial located below the main dial control is used to adjust the amount of fuel and combustion air used for effi cient clean burning. Adjusting the trim along with proper cleaning of the fi repot and heat exchanger will help achieve maximum performance of your Mt Vernon E2 Appliance. Your appliance may need to be adjusted based on any or all of the following:
Elevation (3000 feet above Sea Level or Higher)
• Venting/Installation Confi gurations (installations with greater than 4’ horizontal or more than two 90 degree elbows)
Fuel Quality (lower BTU fuels or fuels with high ash content)
Fuel Type (hardwood, softwood, lower BTU fuels)
Appliances not properly adjusted will:
Require more frequent cleanings
Result in nuisance shut downs and/or missed ignitions
• Waste fuel
Consult your QuadraFire Dealer with specifi c questions regarding proper adjustments for maximum performance.
Where to Start:
If Burning Hardwood Pellet Fuel
QuadraFire recommends setting the appliance at a -4
trim setting as a start. From our testing, hardwood fuels burn well between -4 and -2 settings.
If Burning Lower BTU Pellet Fuel, Utility Pellet Fuel, or High Ash Pellet Fuel
QuadraFire recommends setting the appliance and leaving
at a -4 trim setting. From our testing, lower BTU fuels result in large clinkers in the bottom of the fi repot during normal operation. Using this type of fuel will increase the recommended fi repot cleaning interval.
If Burning Softwood Pellet Fuel
QuadraFire recommends starting at a -2 trim setting and
adjusting based on installation confi gurations. From our testing, softwood fuels burn well at a variety of settings.
If Elevation is 3000 feet above Sea Level or Higher
When burning at higher elevations you will need more
air for the fi re to burn properly. QuadraFire recommends starting with a Trim Setting of -3. From our testing, appliances at higher elevations burn best at settings
-4,-3, +3, and +4. Review fuel types and installation confi gurations for choosing the right setting.
If appliance has long horizontal venting sections or more than two 90 degree Elbows
QuadraFire recommends starting at a -4 trim setting and
making adjustments based on fuel type and elevation. From our testing, we have found that -4,-3, +3, or +4 have worked well depending on fuels.
Indicators that Trim Adjustment is needed:
1. The fl ame appears lazy
2. Smoke can be seen in the fi rebox after start up during normal burn
3. Excessive build up of clinkers taller than a 1/2” in the bottom of the fi repot
4. The fi re goes out when in normal operating mode

7 Mobile Home Installation
MT VERNON E2
You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit for installation in a mobile home.
1. An outside air inlet must be provided for the combustion air and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while the appliance is in use to prevent room air starvation which causes smoke spillage. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.
2. The combustion air duct system must be made of metal. It must permit zero clearance to combustible construc­tion and prevent material from dropping into the inlet or into the area beneath the dwelling and contain a rodent screen.
3. The appliance must be secured to the mobile home structure by bolting it to the fl oor (using lag bolts). Use the same holes that secured the appliance to the shipping pallet.
4. The appliance must be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding wire or equivalent, terminated at each end with an NEC approved grounding device.
5. Refer to Clearances to Combustibles and fl oor protection requirements on page 8 for listings to combustibles and appropriate chimney systems.
6. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney or other component pene­trates to the exterior of the structure.
7. Follow the chimney manufacturer ’s instructions when installing the vent system for use in a mobile home.
8. Installation shall be in accordance with the Manufacturers Home & Safety Standard (HUD) CFR 3280, Part 24.
