IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Contact your local building or fi re offi cial to obtain a permit and any information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.
To prevent the possibility of a fi re, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation instructions. A Greenfi re dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local building codes and installation restrictions.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of the home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs.
The stove's exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure. It is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove.
Do not burn with insuffi cient combustion air. A periodic check is recom- mended to ensure proper combustion air is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the slider damper located on the left side of the stove. Refer to "Slider/Damper Set-up" section.
When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the home and bolted to the fl oor. Make sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained and all construction meets local building codes.
Minor soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an extremely rich burn (black tipped, lazy orange fl ames).
If you have any questions with regard to your stove or the above-men­tioned information, please feel free to contact your local dealer for further clarifi cation and comments.
SAFETY WARNINGS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
ELECTRICAL: The use of a surge protected power bar is recommended. The unit must be grounded. The grounded electrical
cord should be connected to a standard 115 volts (4.6 Amps), 60 hertz electrical outlet. Be careful that the electrical cord is not trapped under the appliance and that it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges and also must be accessible. If this power cord should become damaged, a replacement power cord must be purchased from a Greenfi re dealer. This unit's maximum power requirement is 520 watts.
GLASS: Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the stove with broken glass. The stove uses ceramic glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from a Greenfire dealer. Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation or if glass is hot. To clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove glass cleaner, or take a damp paper towel and dip into the fly ash. This is a very mild abrasive and will not damage the glass.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater
while it is in use.
SMOKE DETECTOR: Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained in the structure when installing and operating a pellet burning
appliance.
OPERATION: The ash pan and door must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door are checked and replaced when necessary.
INSTALLATION: Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs. It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any displacement.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
FRESH AIR: Outside Fresh Air connection is optional. Must be connected to all units installed in Mobile and “Air Tight Homes” (R2000) or where required by local codes. Consider all large air moving devices when installing your unit and provide room air accordingly. Limited air for combustion may result in poor performance, smoking and other side effects of poor combustion.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system. Do not burn garbage or fl ammable fl uids such as gaso- line, naptha or engine oil. Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
SOOT: Operation of the stove with insuf cient combustion air will result in
the formation of soot which will collect on the glass, the heat exchanger, the exhaust vent system, and may stain the outside of the house. This is a dangerous situation and is ineffi cient. Frequently check your stove and adjust the slider/damper as needed to ensure proper combustion. See "Slider/Damper Setting".
CLEANING: There will be some build up of fl y ash and small amounts of creosote in the exhaust. This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel used and the operation of the stove. It is advisable to inspect and clean the exhaust vent semi-annually or every two tons of pellets.

REMOVING PELLET STOVE
FROM PALLET
To remove your new stove from its pallet, remove the two (2) screws securing the bottom to the pallet.
Freestanding:
One screw can be easily seen from behind but to access the second screw the ashpan must be removed. See fi gure 1.
INSTALLATION
Fireplace Insert:
There is one screw on either side of the bottom. See fi gure 2.
Figure 1: Removing GF55 From Pallet.
Figure 2: Removing GFI55 From Pallet.
OPENING THE DOOR
The door lever can be found inbehind the right side of the door frame. To open the door, pivet the lever outwards and upwards until it unlocks.
LOCATING THE PELLET APPLIANCE
1. Check clearances to combustibles. See "Clearance to Combustibles"
section.
2. Do not obtain combustion air from an attic, garage or any unventilated space if enough air is available. Combustion air may be obtained from a ventilated crawlspace.
3. Do not install the stove in a bedroom.
4. You can vent the stove through an exterior wall behind the unit or
connect it to an existing masonry or metal chimney (must be lined if the chimney is over 6” (15 cm) diameter, or over 28 inches² (180 cm²) cross sectional area). An interior vent can be used with approved pipe passing through the ceiling and roof.
5. Locate the stove in a large and open room that is centrally located in the house. This will optimize heat circulation.
6. The power cord is 8 feet (2.43 m) long and may require a grounded extension cord to reach the nearest electrical outlet.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
These dimensions are minimum clearances to combustibles, however it is highly recommended that you leave suffi cient room on each side (20" where possible) for servicing, routine cleaning and maintenance.
This pellet stove requires fl oor protection. The fl oor protection must be non-combustible, extending 6" (150mm) beyond the full width and depth of the unit including 6" (150 mm) in front for ember protection.

Figure 7: Allowable exterior vent termination locations.
1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway, etc.
2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least fi ve feet of vertical pipe be installed outside when the ap- pliance is vented directly through a wall, to create some natural draft to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure. This will keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent through the roof vertically.
4. Distance from the bottom of the termination and grade is 12” (30 cm) minimum. This is conditional upon the plants and nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located in the vicinity of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn.
5. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond the control of FPI, we grant no guarantee against such incidents.
NOTE: Venting terminals shall not be recessed into walls or siding.
