Getting Started

A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations

1. Appliance Location

NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fi re
offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and fl oor protection, before
actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance
and chimney will affect performance.

Consideration must be given to:

• Safety, convenience, traffi c fl ow

• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to

minimize the use of chimney offsets.

• Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage

for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof (vertical)
or through exterior wall (horizontal).

• Installing the required outside air kit will affect the location

of the vent termination.

When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal loca­tion is to vent above roof line when possible. This minimizes
the affects of wind loading.

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:

• Windows

• Air Intakes

• Air Conditioner

• Overhang, soffi ts, porch roofs, adjacent walls

• Landscaping, vegetation

• Horizontal or vertical vent termination

2. Floor Support

The supporting fl oor under the appliance must be able
to handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the
weight of the chimney.

Ensure that your fl oor will suport these weights prior to in­stallation. Add suffi cient additional support to meet this
weight requirment prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 425 lbs.

WARNING! Risk of Fire Damaged parts could impair safe
operation. Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute
components.

CAUTION! If burning shelled fi eld corn, you must use ap­proved venting specifi cally designed for corn to prevent
corrosion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the
venting manufacturer.

Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)

B. Thermostat Wall Control Location

The thermostat wall control’s location will have some affect
on the appliance’s operation.

• Maximum wire length from appliance is 100 feet (30.48m)
continuous unspliced wire. Recommended 20 gauge wire,
solid copper .

• When located close to the appliance, it may require a
slightly higher temperature setting to keep the rest of the
house comfortable.

• When located in an adjacent room or on a different fl oor
level, you will notice higher temperatures near the appli­ance.

CAUTION!

The wall control is an integral part of the appli-

ance. No other wall control or thermostat can be substi-

tuted.

C. Tools And Supplies Needed

Tools and building supplies normally required
for installation, unless installing into an existing
masonry fi replace:

Reciprocating Saw
Channel Locks
Hammer
Phillips Screwdriver

Safety Glasses
Framing Square
Electric Drill & Bits (1/4”)

1/4” Self-Tapping Screws

G. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox

• The fi rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built
fi rebox in order to gain minimum insert opening require­ments.

• Any smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed
from a factory-built fi rebox if attached with mechanical fas­teners.

• The metal fl oor of the factory-built fi rebox may be removed
to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1/4
inch (6mm) airspace is provided between the insert and
the fl oor of outer wrap.

The following is only one example as there are many differ­ent models of factory-built fi replaces.

Figure 10.1. Measure and mark the metal
fl oor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter
hole in each corner.

Figure 10.3. If the fl oor is made of thin metal,
we recommend using the 2 x 4 from the insert
packaging to support the insert. The 2 x 4
may need to be cut to the appropriate size.

Figure 10.4. Place the insert into the fac­tory-built fi rebox. Ensure that the power
cord can not be damaged by the sharp metal
edge. You may need to cut out a notch to
accomodate the cord.

NOTICE:

Do NOT Terminate Vent:

• In any location that will allow fl ue gases or soot from enter-

• 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 (1524mm) 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.

November 22, 2011

Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)

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.

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 is recommend in all installations. The
Outside Air Kit must be ordered seperately.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CAUTION

• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT
OR SYSTEM.

Optional Battery Back-Up

Hearth & Home Technologies supplies an optional battery
back-up system that operates the appliance during power
failure conditions to prevent smoking. In shutdown mode,
the battery back-up will not prevent smoking. See Section

8 for details.

Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for,
nor does the warranty extend to, smoke damage caused
by reverse drafting of pellet appliances under shut down or
power failure conditions.

C. Negative Pressure

WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation!

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

Negative pressure can

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

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

chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International
Residential Code standards for solid fuel appliances.

4. INSTALL 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! RISK OF FIRE!

• Only LISTED venting components may be used.

• NO OTHER vent components may be used.

• Substitute or damaged vent components may impair
safe operation.

WARNING

Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns
if touched. Non-combustible shielding or

G. Pipe Selection Chart

The chart will help you in determining proper venting size
according to the equivalent feet of pipe calculated previously
and the altitude above sea level of this installation.

Figure 16.1.

a. Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on the verti-

cal left side of the chart.

b. Move to the right horizontally on the chart until you reach

your altitude above sea level.

c. If you fall below the diagonal line, 3 or 4 inch (76 to

102mm) pipe may be used.

d. If it is anywhere above the diagonal line, a 4 inch (102mm)

diameter pipe is required.

NOTICE:

• A 90° elbow is 5 times as restrictive to the fl ow of exhaust
gases under positive pressure as 1 foot (305mm) of hori­zontal pipe.

• A foot of horizontal pipe is twice as restrictive as a foot of
vertical pipe.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

Do NOT pack insulation or other combustibles between
fi restops.

• ALWAYS maintain specifi ed clearances around venting
and fi restop systems.

• Install fi restops as specifi ed.

Failure to keep insulation or other material away from vent
pipe may cause fi re.

Figure 16.1

Example 1: If the equivalent length of pipe is 23 feet (7m) with altitude

of 8,000 feet (2438m) you must use 4 inch (102mm) diameter type “L”
or “PL” vent.

Example 2: If the equivalent length of pipe is 12 feet (3.7m) with altitude
of 6,000 feet (1829m) you may use 3 or 4 inch (76 to 102mm) diameter

Operating Instructions

WARNING

Fire Risk.

• Do not operate appliance before reading
and understanding operating instructions.

• Failure to operate appliance properly may
cause a house fi re.

A. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable fi re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:

• Install at least one smoke detector and CO monitor on each
fl oor of your home.

• Locate detectors away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas.

• Follow the detector’s manufacturer ’s placement and
installation instructions and maintain regularly.

• Conveniently locate a Class A fi re extinguisher to contend
with small fi res.

• In the event of a hopper fi re:

• Evacute the house immediately.

• Notify fi re department.

B. Combustible/Non-Combustible Materials

• Combustible Material
Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed

paper, plant fi bers, plastics, or any material capable
of igniting and burning, whether fl ame-proofed or not,
plastered or unplastered.

• Non-combustible Material
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are

those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, slate,
glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.

• Non-combustible Sealant Material
Sealants which will not ignite and burn: Rutland, Inc.

Fireplace Mortar #63, Rutland 76R, Nufl ex 304, GE
RTV106 or GE RTB116 (or equivalent).

C. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly fl uctuate. This appliance has
been designed to burn a wide variety of fuels, giving you
the choice to use the fuel that is most economical in your
region.

Hearth & Home Techonologies strongly recommends only
using Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) certifi ed fuel.

Fuel Material

• Made from sawdust or wood by-products

• Shelled fi eld corn & other biomass fuels

• Depending on the source material it may have a high or
low ash content.

Higher Ash Content Material

• Hardwoods with a high mineral content

• Fuel that contains bark

• Standard grade pellets, high ash pellets, corn and other
biomass fuels

Lower Ash Content Material

• Softwoods

• Fuels with low mineral content

• Premium grade pellets

Shelled Field Corn

• Must be 15% or less moisture content.

• Must be clean and free from debris

• Never burn corn straight from the fi eld

• Stalk parts, excessive fi nes and cob remnants, etc. will
clog the auger mechanism

• Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened by sifting
with 3/16 inch (4.7mm) mesh screening

CAUTION! Do not burn fuel that contains an additive;

(such as soybean oil).

• May cause hopper fi res

• Damage to product may result

Read the ingredients list on the package. If you are buying
corn or wheat the only ingredient that should be listed is
corn or wheat.

WARNING! Risk of Chemical Poisoning!

Do NOT burn treated seed corn

• Chemical pesticides are harmful or fatal if swallowed

• Burning treated seed corn will void your warranty

Clinkers

Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as sand
will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called a clinker when
heated in the fi repot.

Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. That
is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others.

Moisture

Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content
takes heat from the fuel and tends to cool the appliance,
robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet fuel can clog the
feed system.

Automatic

Manual
Off

Medium

Size

•

Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in diameter

• Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)

• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same
manufacturer

• Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate)
may need adjusting occasionally. See page 27 for
instructions..

Performance

• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied
more frequently

• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly

• Set wall control to “Utility Pellet” if the fi repot and ash pan
are fi lling quickly. This will cause the auto-clean system to
empty the fi repot more often.

• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.

• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can cause
an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.

We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever
possible. However, we do recommend trying various brands
before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.

CAUTION! Tested and approved for wood pellets, shelled
fi eld corn, wheat and black oil sunfl ower seeds. Burning of
any other type of fuel voids your warranty.

D. General Operating Information

Read and understand the Thermostat
Wall Control manual for detailed operating
instructions. The wall control is an intregal
part of how to operate this appliance.

1. Thermostat Wall Control - Automatic Setting

The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat wall control calls for heat, your appliance will
automatically light and deliver heat.

When the room is up to temperature and the wall control is
satisfi ed the appliance will shut down.

In the automatic setting the heat output level is controlled by
the wall control. Select “Automatic” on the AUTO/MANUAL
screen. Figure 26.1.

Figure 26.1

Changing to Different Fuel Type

• Empty the hopper of the previous fuel

•

Thoroughly vacuum hopper before fi lling with the new

fuel

• Select the appropriate setting on the FUEL SELECTION
screen on the thermostat wall control

The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary
depending on the fuel selected.

Storage

• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag

until using to prevent moisture absorption.

• Shelled corn, wheat or sunfl ower seeds should be stored

in a tight container to prevent it from absorbing moisture
from damp or wet fl oors.

• This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem

• Do not store any pellet fuel with in the clea ranc e

requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaning and maintenance.

CAUTION

Tested and approved for wood pellets, shelled fi eld
corn, wheat and black oil sunfl ower seeds. Burning
of any other type of fuel voids your warranty.

Page 26

2. Thermostat Wall Control - Manual Setting

When you select “Manual” on the AUTO/MANUAL screen the
appliance will still automatically turn on and off according to
the temperature setting.

However, you will be able to manually control the heat output
levels. Adjust the heat output levels by using the HEAT
OUTPUT LEVEL screen. Figure 26.2.

Figure 26.2

.

3. Auto-Clean Firepot System

Your appliance is equipped with an automatic fi repot cleaning
system that will change the frequency of cleaning based on
the fuel being burned.

The auto-clean system will clean itself immediately on initial
plug in. If there is a power outage, as soon as power is
restored it will recycle and clean itself if there is no fi re in the
fi repot.

NOTE: User is responsible for removing the ash from the
ash drawer.

E. Before Your First Fire

• First, make sure your appliance has been properly installed
and that all safety requirements have been met.

• Pay particular attention to the fi re protection, venting and
thermostat wall control installation instructions.

• Double check that the ash pan, hopper and fi rebox are
empty and then close the fi rebox door.

NOTICE:

The tip of thermocouple must be in contact with the
inside end of the thermocouple cover or missed ignitions can
occur.

F. Filling the Hopper with Fuel

• Check the hopper and make sure it is empty before fi lling

with fuel.

• Open the cast top hopper lid.

• Do not over fi ll the hopper. The hopper lid must be com-

pletely closed to maintain proper vacuum and for the feed
motor to operate. An error ICON will appear on the wall
control if the hopper lid is not properly closed.

• Do not leave any part of the fuel bag on the appliance after

fi lling hopper.

2. Comfort Level Selection

Once your fuel is selected, select the temperature at the desired
setting on the SET COMFORT LEVEL screen. Figure 27.2.

Figure 27.2

3. Automatic or Manual Setting

detailed instructions.

G. Fire Characteristics and Flame Height

(Feed Rate) Adjustment

G. Starting Your First Fire

1. Fuel Selection

To start your fi rst fi re, you must:

• Select the appropriate fuel on the FUEL SELECTION screen
on the thermostat wall control to match the fuel you have
chosen to burn.

• If the proper fuel is not selected your appliance will not
operate properly.

• For example, if you have selected wood pellets and you are
burning corn, the appliance may not light, it may go out or
overfeed. Figure 27.1.

NOTE: If you are lighting your appliance for the fi rst time:

• The feed tube will be empty and it can take some time to fi ll
it with fuel before you will see a fi re

• Put a handful of fuel in the fi repot (priming) to speed up the
process. You can also do this when you have run com­pletely out of fuel.

A properly adjusted fi re will have an active fl ame pattern and
the fl ame will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.

• On HIGH setting, the fl ame will extend approximately 8
inches (203mm) out of the fi repot. If it is not 8 inches
(203mm) tall, increase the fl ame height.

• On MEDIUM or LOW setting the fl ame will be shorter.

• Reduce the fl ame height if the fi re has tall fl ames with
black tails and seems somewhat lazy. This may also
indicate that the fi repot and/or heat exchanger needs to
be cleaned. Refer to Section 10 for Maintenance and
Cleaning Instructions.

Adjusting the Flame Height (Feed Rate)

• Set your appliance to “MANUAL” mode on the wall con­trol.

• Set the heat output level to HIGH.

• Adjust the fl ame height using the “FLAME HEIGHT AD­JUST” screen on the wall control. Figure 27.3.

System Status

K. Ignition Cycles

The appliance engine is controlled by the digital thermostat
wall control. The digital display on the wall control will tell
you what your appliance is doing in the upper left corner
(System Status). Figure 29.1.

Figure 29.1

Every time the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance steps
through fi ve cycles:

1 Start-Up Cycle 4 Shutdown Cycle

2 Soft-Start Cycle 5 Auto-Clean Cycle

3 Heating Cycle

The duration and characteristics of these cycles may be dif­ferent with each type of fuel selected.

2. Soft Start Cycle (SS-Low / SS-Med)

Once the fi re is lit:

• The appliance moves into the low soft-start cycle as it
continues to build the fi re

• More fuel will be added

• As the fi re builds, the appliance will change to medium
soft-start mode

• The heating cycle begins

3. Heating Cycle ( Auto / Man - L, ML, M, MH, H)

There are two choices in the Automatic / Manual menu of
how your appliance will operate:

Automatic Mode

• The wall control will turn the heat output level up or down
depending on how far the room temperature is from the
desired temperature

• The digital display will read AUTO:M, i.e. automatic-me­dium level

• As the room temperature approaches the desired tem­perature, the appliance will turn down to lower settings

• When the home reaches your set temperature, the appli­ance will go into the shutdown cycle

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

Do NOT operate appliance:

• With appliance door open

• With fi repot fl oor open

• With ash pan removed

1. Start-Up Cycle

During this cycle:

• Igniter turns on for 90 seconds to heat up the air in the
fi repot

• Combustion blower starts

• Vacuum switch comes on

• Feed motor turns on adding fuel to the fi repot and the
appliance waits for the fi re to start

The duration of start-up depends on the type and quality
of fuel used. It is normal to see some smoke during the
ignition process as moisture evaporates and the fuel lights.
The smoke will stop once the fi re starts.

Manual Mode

• Set the heat output setting from the main screen

• The right bottom button will read HEAT OUTPUT

• You can operate the appliance from any of the 5 levels

• On the lowest level (MAN: L) the appliance will stay on
longer, burn less fuel per hour, and will take longer to
bring the home up to your desired temperature

• On the highest setting (MAN:H) the appliance will burn
more fuel per hour, and bring your home up to tempera­ture more quickly

•

In Manual mode the heat output does not change but

will stay at the setting you chose until the comfort level
is reached (meaning the thermostat has been satisfi ed).
Turn to OFF to stop operation.

4. Shutdown Cycle

Once your home has reached your set temperature:

• Appliance will stop feeding fuel and allow the fi re to dimin-

ish

• Convection blower will continue to run until the appliance

cools to appropriate temperature

• Appliance will begin the auto-clean cycle

November 22, 2011

Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)

5. Auto-Clean Cycle

The fi repot auto-clean system will cycle:

• When the appliance is fi rst plugged in

• When the house reaches temperature and the appliance
shuts down

• At prescribed intervals, depending on the type of fuel se­lected

• When starting up after an electrical interruption

If your appliance is running and the auto-clean cycle is initi­ated, the appliance will revert to shutdown cycle.

• The fl oor of the fi repot will open and dump the ash into
the ash pan

• It takes approximately 2 minutes to complete the auto­clean cycle

• The fl oor will then shut, and if the thermostat is still call­ing for heat, the fi re will start again

• During this auto-clean cycle, the convection blower may
continue to run. The combustion blower will continue to
run.

Additional Screen Messages:

READY It is telling you that the home is up to temperature

and doesn’t need any heat.

WARNING

Fire Risk
Do NOT operate appliance:

• With appliance door open.

• With fi repot fl oor open.

N. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUES SOLUTIONS

1. Metallic noise 1. Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as
it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound pro­duced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not
affect the operation or longevity of your appliance.

2. Ash buildup on glass 2. This is normal. Clean the glass.

3. Glass has turned dirty 3. Excessive build up of ash. The lower burn settings will
produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce
less. The more it burns on low the more frequent clean­ing of the glass is required.

4. Fire has tall fl ames with black tails and is lazy 4. The fl ame height adjustment needs to be reduced or
the fi repot needs cleaning. Heat exchanger or exhaust
blower needs cleaning.

5. Excessive smokey start-up 5. Either the fi repot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
start-up and not enough air.

6. Large fl ame at start-up 6. This is normal. Flame will settle down once the fi re is
established. Some smoke is normal.

7. Mechanical Noise 7. The fl oor of the fi repot in the auto-clean system may
make some noise as it scrapes the ash into the ash
pan.

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

• Curing of high temperature paint.

• Open windows for air circulation.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

C. General Maintenance and Cleaning

1. Auto-Clean System Inspection & Cleaning

• Frequency: Monthly or every ton (aprx. 50 bags) or

more frequently depending on the type of fuel

• By: Homeowner

a. Be sure the wall control screen says OFF and the

appliance is allowed to cool.

b. Open the fi rebox door. Inspect the auto-clean springs:

(See item #62 on page 47 for the location of the
springs).

• Inspect for any degradation or deformation

• As the springs heat up and cool down they can
lose tension

• If there is a gap showing above the fi repot bottom,
approximately 1/16 inch (1.59mm) or more, it
means the springs have lost their tension

• Lost tension can not keep the fl oor in the proper
position causing ignition problems and fuel falling
into the ash pan.

• Call your dealer to replace the springs.

c. Inspect the holes in the fi repot fl oor for any debris.

• The holes must be kept clear.

d. How often the fi repot cleans itself depends on:

• The type of fuel you selected on the thermostat wall
control

• How long the appliance burns before satisfying set
point on wall the control.

• Burning biomass fuels may require a more thorough
cleaning during the burn season.

e. Excessive clinkers will eventually jam the auto-clean

system and generate an error message on the wall
control.

2. Ash Removal from Firebox

• Frequency: Weekly or more frequenctly depending on

ash build-up

• By: Homeowner

Be sure the wall control screen says OFF and the
appliance is allowed to cool.

There must not be any hot ashes in the fi rebox during
cleaning.

Frequent cleaning of the ash in the fi rebox with a vacuum
cleaner will help slow down the build-up of ash in the
exhaust blower and vent system.

3. Cleaning Ash Pan

• Frequency: Weekly or every 3-5 bags

• By: Homeowner

a Locate the ash pan underneath the fi repot.

b. Slide the ash pan straight out.

c. Empty into a non-combustible container and re-install ash

pan.

d. When replacing ash pan push it back until it catches on

the 2 side latches.

e. Clinkers fi lling the ash pan will have to be cleaned out

more often than ash. See Disposal of Ashes.

4. Disposal of Ashes

• Frequency: As needed

• By: Homeowner

a. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-

fi tting lid.

b. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a

non-combustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal.

c. 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.

7. Cleaning the Hopper

• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel,

(aprx 50 bags) or when changing fuel types

• By: Homeowner

a. Be sure the wall control screen says OFF and the

appliance is allowed to cool.

b. After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to

clean the hopper to prevent sawdust and/or fi nes build­up.

c. A combination of sawdust/fi nes and pellets on the auger

reduces the amount of fuel supply to the fi repot.

d. This can result in nuisance shut downs and misstarts

. •. Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

•. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

8. Cleaning the Glass

• Frequency: When clear view of fi repot becomes

obscured

• By: Homeowner

a. Be sure the wall control screen says OFF and the

appliance is allowed to cool.

b. Clean glass with a non-abrasive commercially

available cleaner. Wipe down with dry towel.

9. Door Latch Inspection

• Frequency: Prior to heating season

• By: Homeowner

The door latch is non-adjustable but the gasketing between
the glass and fi rebox should be inspected periodically to
make sure there is a good seal. If the gasket is frayed or
damaged, replace with a new one.

10. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.

• Frequency: Yearly or more frequently depending on

fuel type or ash build-up

• By: Qualifi ed Service Technician/Homeowner

The products of combustion will contain small particles
of fl y ash. The fl y ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the fl ow of the fl ue gases.

At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there
is a shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it
will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the
exhaust venting system.

The venting system may need to be cleaned at least
once a year or more often depending upon the quality
of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sec­tions. Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal
sections.

CAUTION

Handle glass assembly with care.

When cleaning glass door:

• Avoid striking, scratching or slamming
glass.

• Do NOT clean glass when hot.

• Do NOT use abrasive cleaners.

• Use a hard water deposit glass cleaner on white fi lm.

Refer to maintenance instructions.

WARNING

Handle glass doors with care.

• Inspect the gasket to ensure it is
undamaged.

• Do NOT strike, slam or scratch glass.

• Do NOT operate appliance with glass door
removed, cracked, broken or scratched.

11. Preparing Firebox for Non-Burn Season

• Frequency: At the end of heating season

• By: Homeowner

a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown,

completely cool and the exhaust blower offf.

b. Remove all ash from the fi rebox and vacuum thor-

oughly.

c. Paint all exposed steel, including cast-iron. Use

the Touch-Up paint supplied with the appliance or
purchase paint from your local dealer. You must
use a high-temperature paint made specifi cially for

D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance

• Frequency: When the ash build-up exceeds the half

way point in the fi repot

• By: Homeowner

If the ash build-up exceeds the half way point in the fi repot
before it automatically cleans, then the fi repot is not being
cleaned often enough.

Another symptom is if clinkers are adhering to the sides of
the fi repot.

Double check the wall control to ensure the proper setting
has been selected for the fuel you are burning. If that is cor­rect, change the setting to “Utility Pellet”.

NOTE: You will need to empty the ash pan more fre­quently if using the “Utility Pellet” setting.

WARNING! Risk of Fire and Smoke!

• High ash fuels or lack of maintenance can cause fi repot to
overfi ll. Follow proper shutdown procedure if ash buildup
exceeds half way point in fi repot.

• Failure to do so could result in smoking, sooting and pos­sible hopper fi res.

WARNING

A. Component Functions

1. Auto-Clean Motor

The auto-clean motor is located under and behind the
fi repot on the left side, inside the convection air chamber.
It automatically opens and closes the fi repot fl oor so ashes
can fall into the ash pan.

2. Auto-Clean Switch

The auto-clean switch is located on top of the auto-clean
motor. It communicates to the control board when the fi repot
fl oor is open and when the auto-clean system has completed
its cycle and is back in the home (closed) position.

3. 12 Volt Battery Back-Up Cable (Optional Accessory)

This is an optional accessory. It will plug into the appliance
next to the power outlet located behind the left cast side
panel. An icon will display on the wall control when the
appliance has lost main power and is running on battery
back-up.

4. Control Board

The control board is located on the lower left side of appliance,
behind the left side panel and above the vacuum switch. It
controls the functioning of the appliance and communicates
with the wall control. The control board can only be opened
by an authorized dealer.

5. Convection Blower

The convection blower is mounted at the bottom left rear of
the appliance. The convection blower pushes heated air
through the heat exchange system into the room.

6. Door Switch

The door switch is mounted on the right side of the fi rebox
behind the door handle. It senses when the door is open
and will display an icon on the wall control, and will turn off
the auto-clean system and feed motor for safety.

7. Combustion (Exhaust) Blower

The combustion (exhaust) blower is mounted in the bottom
right rearof appliance. The blower is designed to pull the
exhaust from the appliance and push it out through the
venting system.

8. Feed System

The feed system is located on the right side of the appliance
and can be removed as an entire assembly. The assembly
includes the feed motor, mounting bracket, bearing and feed
spring (auger). The hollow feed spring (auger) pulls pellets
up the feed tube from the hopper area and drops them down
the feed chute into the fi repot.

E

Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)

When describing the location of a component,
it is always AS YOU FACE THE FRONT OF
THE APPLIANCE.

9. Firepot

The fi repot is made of high quality ductile iron. The fl oor of
the fi repot automatically opens for cleaning and is operated
by the auto-clean fi repot system. The fl oor needs to return
to a completely closed position or the appliance will not
operate properly.

10. Fuses

There are three fuses. Two fuses are located on the inside
of the control board. One fuse is AC and operates the
igniter and the other fuse is DC and operates all of the
other components. The third fuse is located in the power
supply. A fuse will blow should a short occur and shut off
power to the appliance. The fuses can only be serviced by
an authorized dealer.

11. Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is located behind the baffl e and it
transfers heat from the exhaust system into the convection
air chamber. Remove the cast iron baffl e to access the heat
exchanger.

12. Hopper Lid Switch

The hopper lid switch is located on the right side inside the
hopper. It senses whether the hopper lid is open and displays
an icon on the wall control and will turn off the feed motor.

13. Igniter

The igniter is mounted on the base of the fi repot. Combustion
air travels over the red hot igniter creating super heated air
that ignites the pellets.

14. Low Fuel Indicator

The low fuel indication is attached to the left side of the
hopper. It senses the amount of fuel in the hopper and will
display an icon on the wall control when the fuel level is
low.

15. Optical Switch (Auger)

The optical switch is located on top of the feed system and
communicates to the wall control that the auger is spinning
or it has stopped.

16. Power Receptacle

The power receptacle is located on the left side of the
appliance, behind the left cast side panel. Check the wall
receptacle for 120 volt, 60 Hz (standard current). Make sure

17. Power Supply

The power supply is located at the bottom left side of the
appliance. It converts 120 volt AC current to 15 volt DC current
to power the appliance.

18.

Overheat Sensor (Snap Disc)

The overheat sensor is mounted on the back of the drop tube
in the center of the appliance and has a reset button. To
access it remove the right side panel. If the fi re tries to burn
back into the feed system or push exhaust up the feed tube,
this sensor will shut the appliance down, however the wall
control will continue to display messages. This sensor must
be manually reset. Disconnect power before resetting.

19. Thermocouple - Firepot

The thermocouple is located on top of the fi repot inside
the thermocouple cover (ceramic protection tube). The
thermocouple sends a millivolt signal to the control board
telling the control board there is a fi re in the fi repot.

20. Thermocouple on Drop Tube

The thermocouple is located on the bottom of the drop tube
on the right side and is attached with a wing nut. It turns
the convection blower on and off, varies the speed of the
convection blower and will shut down the appliance if internal
heat exceeds set temperature.

21. Vacuum Switch

The vacuum switch is located on the right side of the
appliance under the feed motor behind the right side panel
and connects to the drop tube with a hose. This switch turns
the feed system on when vacuum is present in the fi rebox.
The vacuum switch is a safety device designed to shut off
