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, fire officials 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 floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance.

Consideration must be given to:

Safety, convenience, traffic flow

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, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls

Landscaping, vegetation

Horizontal or vertical vent termination

2. Floor Support

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

Ensure that your floor will suport these weights prior to installation. Add sufficient additional support to meet this weight requirment prior to installation. The weight of the appliance is 429 lbs.

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

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

NOTICE:

Do NOT Terminate Vent:

In any location that will allow flue gases or soot from entering 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.

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 flows 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 recommended 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 Configurations

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 specified clearances to windows, doors and air inlets, including air conditioners.

Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffits. 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.

Mt. Vernon Pellet Stove (AE)

C. Negative Pressure

D. Draft

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

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 fire.

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
