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.

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-
ing 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 (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.

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

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
