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 insuffi 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.

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.

in this manual and allows installation with the least amount of interfer­ence to house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc.

2. Install a non-combustible hearth pad (where necessary).

3. Place the appliance 15” (37.5 cm) away from the wall. If the stove is

to be set on a hearth pad, set the unit on it.

4. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the stove. Extend that line to
the wall. Once you have located the center point on the wall, refer to
pellet vent manufacturer installation instructions for correct hole size
and clearance to combustibles.

5. Install the wall thimble as per the instructions written on the thimble.
Maintain an effective vapour barrier in accordance with local building
codes.

6. Install a length of 3” (76 mm) or 4” (101 mm) vent pipe into the wall
thimble. The pipe should install easily into the thimble.

7. Install the fresh air intake. See "Outside Fresh Air Connection" sec­tion.

8. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust pipe on the stove. Seal
the connection with high temperature silicone.

NOTE:

• Some horizontal through wall installations may require a “T” and 3 to 5
feet (91 to 152 cm) of vertical pipe outside the building to help naturally
draft in the unit.

• This may be required if a proper burn cannot be maintained, after the
stove has been tested and the airfl ow set.

• This is due to the back pressure in the exhaust caused by airfl ow around
the structure.

• All sections of pipe must have three (3) screws evenly spaced and all
horizontal and vertical vent sections located within the house must have
a bead of high temperature silicone installed on the male end of the pipe
before installation to create a gas tight seal.

9. Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum of 3” (8 cm) clear­ance from the back of the stove to the wall. Seal the vent pipe to the
thimble with high temperature silicone.

10. The pipe must extend at least 12” (30 cm) away from the building. If
necessary, bring another length of pipe (PL type) to the outside of the
home to connect to the fi rst section. Do not forget to place high tem-
perature silicone around the pipe that passes through the thimble.

11. Install a vertical pipe, or if all requirements for direct venting are met,
install vent termination. The stainless steel cap termination manufac­tured by the vent manufacturer is recommended. However, when the
vent terminates several feet above ground level and there are no trees,
plants, etc. within several feet, a 45° elbow can be used as termination.
The elbow must be turned down to prevent rain from entering.

12

• The termination must be 12 inches (30 cm) from the outside wall and 12
inches (30 cm) above the ground.

• A 45° elbow may be used in place of the termination cap (or stainless
steel termination hood).

42 lbs hopper (adjusted)

Width 26" (660mm)

Depth 15" (381mm)

22.75" (578mm)

19.5" (495mm)

INSTALLATION OF PEDESTAL AND LEVELING LEGS

There are two parts to the GFI55 insert pedestal and they can be found
inside the hopper. Place unit on its back. Two (2) hex head screws are used
on each side of the pedestal (refer to Figure 22). Using a 5/16” wrench or
socket, secure the pedestal to the bottom of the unit.

INSTALLING HOPPER COVER AND

ADJUSTING HOPPER HEIGHT

The hopper cover initially comes upside-down on top of the hopper. To
install the hopper cover fl ip the cover over and fasten in place with four
T-20 screws (see Figure 24).

The back height of this unit can be set to one (1) of three (3) heights; 19½”
(495 mm), 21⅛” (537 mm), 22¼” (565 mm). The hopper should be set to
the maximum height that can be used in the installation.

To change the height of the hopper back up or down, remove the seven
(7) T-20 screws, three (3) on each side and one (1) on the back. The
screw placement is shown Figure 25. Move the hopper assembly to the
required setting and replace the screws. When the hopper back is in
place it is recommended that silicone is used to seal the bottom lip of the
hopper back and sides.

INSTALLATION

OPTIONAL:
There are two (2) leveling legs and they can be found inside the manual
bag. Each leveling leg consists of a long bolt, a hex nut, a washer, and a
square bolt with clip (see Figure 23). For installation of the leveling legs the
unit should be on its back and a ½” wrench is required for adjustments.

Install the square bolts into the square holes in the back corners of the
bottom. The square bolt should be inserted from inside the unit so that
the clip will be facing up.

Thread hex nut onto the bolt till it is approximately 1” (25 mm) from the
bolt head, slide washer onto bolt. Thread the bolt into the square nut so
length of the bolt shown is the approximately height needed for leveling.
When the unit is up right and the bolts can be adjusted to the exact height
required. To lock the bolts at a height tighten the hex nut and washer
against the square bolt

INSTALLATION

When installing the insert into a masonry fi replace DO NOT remove any
bricks or masonry, with the following exception; masonry or steel, including
the damper plate, may be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent
damper frame if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner. Provided that
their removal will not weaken the structure of the fi replace and chimney,
and will not reduce protection for combustible materials to less than that
required by the national building code.

POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION WITHOUT A FULL RELINE

(USA ONLY)

This unit does not require a full reline (in USA only) when installing
into a masonry fi replace, however, it is recommended to ensure
proper drafting of the appliance. This type of application is not
recommended.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the chimney and fi rebox are cleaned and free of all

debris, including soot and ashes, before proceeding with this installation.
If it is not clean soot maybe blown into the room through the unit’s blower.
Ensure the fi replace and chimney have not deteriorated in any way. If
there is any sign of corrosion or damage in the chimney the unit can not
be installed. This unit can be installing in a masonry fi replace built to (UBC
37 or ULC S628 standards) or a factory built fi replace (built to UL 127 or
ULC S610 standards).

1. Install the hearth pad. The fl oor 6” (150 mm) in front of the unit and
6” (150 mm) to each side of the unit must be protected with a non­combustible hearth pad.

2. The vent connector from the insert must extend a minimum of 18”
above the chimney seal plate. The chimney seal plate area must be
sealed to prevent the exhaust from the chimney from coming back
into the fi replace and prevent air from the fi replace from entering the
chimney which will affect proper drafting of appliance.

When installing the fi replace insert into a zero clearance fi replace, where
allowed by local codes, DO NOT cut or modify any factory fi rebox parts.
If the fi replace insert does not fi t into a zero clearance fi replace we recom-
mend you use an Greenfi re freestanding model and install as a hearth
mounted unit. Install a 3” (76 mm) fl ex pipe from the stove to the top of
the chimney. Refer to "Hearth Mount Installation".

INSTALLATION

A qualifi ed installer should evaluate the existing fi replace to determine

the best method for achieving a positive fl ue connection between
the vent pipe or liner and the chimney. Whatever method used must
effectively seal the area to prevent room air passage to the chimney
cavity of the fi replace. A couple examples of Approved Methods of
Achieving a Positive Flue Connection are:

a) Secure a seal-off plate (i.e. 22-gage sheet steel) in the masonry

fi replace throat using masonry screws.

b) Pack non-combustible material (i.e. rockwool) around the vent pipe

or using a fl ue adapter.

3. Set leveling leg to approximate height.

IMPORTANT: The chimney seal plate must be removed for the annually

chimney cleaning as ash will build up on top of the plate.

Be aware that this type of application may have a negative effect on per­formance not covered under warranty.

INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CONTROL PANEL IN THE SURROUND PANEL

When installing the circuit board control panel into the surround panel,
the surround does not need to be assembled. The circuit board will be
found in the fi rebox.

Place the circuit board control panel on the backside of the right surround
panel so the hinge is on the outside and the top and bottom holes on the
control panel line up with those on the surround. Attach using two (2) T­20 screws through the front of the surround into the circuit board control
panel (see Figure 30).

INSTALLATION

After the surround has been assembled and is ready to be installed on the
unit plug the wiring harness into the control panel (see Figure 31).

REMOVAL:

When maintenance is required on the unit the surround must be removed.
Pull the surround straight up till it stops then pull it out about 4” (10 cm)
and rest the surround on top of the unit while the control panel is removed
or disconnected.

If electrical connection is required for the maintenance remove the circuit
board control panel from the surround.

If electrical connection is not required for the maintenance remove the
wiring harness from the bottom of the circuit board control.

1. Install the thermostat by connecting a low voltage millivolt thermostat to
the circuit board jumper location shown below. Connect 2 x 18 gauge
wires from the connection points on the back of the control board to
the thermostat (see fi gure 38).

2. Choose a location for the thermostat, which will effectively heat the
desired area. Do not install close to the unit, typical installation is

10ft - 20ft away in an open area (not hidden).

3. Review each of the three control switch positions with the

consumer.

The slider damper is used to regulate the airfl ow through the pellet stove

INSTALLATION

and is located behind the left cab side (refer to Figure 39). The door must
be open for the cab side to be removed on all models. On freestanding
model loosen the two T-20 torx screws, one above and one below hinge,
swing open left panel to access. On insert model remove the two (2) T-20
torx screws on the front, one above and one below hinge, and the one
T-20 at the top of the cab side under the top front.

The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by
the heat output button. This blower will decrease the vacuum pressure
inside the stove and as the heat output button is turned down. The vacuum
pressure inside the fi rebox will increase as the combustion exhaust blower
increases in speed (higher heat output setting).

If the fi re should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been
set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly,
decreasing the air in the fi rebox.

If, after long periods of burning, the fi re builds up and overfl ows the burn pot
or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality
is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider damper must be pulled out
to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives the fi re more air.

The easiest way to make sure that an effi cient fl ame is achieved is to
understand the characteristics of the fi re.

• A tall, lazy fl ame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open slider
(pull out) slightly.

• A short, brisk fl ame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close slider
(push in) slightly.

• If the fl ame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yel-
low/orange, active fl ame with no black tips then the air is set for proper
operation.

SPECIAL NOTES:

Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate. If the
pellets have a high moisture content or ash content the fi re will be less
effi cient and has a higher possibility of the fi re building up and creating
clinkers (hard ash build-up).

Taking a reading of vacuum pressure inside the fi rebox with a magnehelic
gauge can be used to set the slider for best combustion. The slider damper
should be set only on a hot stove (operating for thirty (30) minutes or more)
by placing a Magnahelic Pressure Gauge in the fi rebox. The reading can
be taken from the ⅛” (3 mm) hole located in the front of the fi rebox under
the door (see Figure 41). The best settings are a reading of approxi-

mately 0.1" to 0.12" of water column on the high fi re setting. Some
fuels may require higher or lower settings.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ'S

DO NOT:

● Service the stove with wet hands. The stove is an electrical appliance, which may pose a shock hazard if handled improperly.
Only qualifi ed technicians should deal with possible internal electrical failures.

● Do not attempt to remove or loosen any screws from inside the fi rebox without applying penetrating oil (ie. WD40) to any of the screws.

WHAT TO DO IF:

1. The stove will not start.

2. The stove will not operate when hot.

3. The exhaust blower will not function normally.

4. Light # 2 on Heat output bar fl ashing.

5. Auger light fl ashes but auger motor does not turn at all

6. The 200 °F (93 °C) high limit temperature sensor has tripped.

7. The convection blower will not function normally.

8. Ignitor- the pellets will not light.

9. Control settings (Heat Level) has no effect on the fi re.

10. The stove keeps going out.

*NOTE: All troubleshooting procedures should be carried out by qualifi ed technicians or installers.

1. The stove will not start.

9Make sure the stove is plugged in and the wall outlet is supplying power..

9If the Control Board has been placed in the ON /OFF thermostat mode, then turn the thermostat up to call for heat.

9Ensure the burn pot liner is correctly placed in the burn pot

9Check the Heat Level Indicator. - If the # 2 light is fl ashing (see the # 2 light is fl ashing)

9Check the fuse on the circuit board.

9If the unit still does not start, contact your local service dealer for service.

TROUBLESHOOTING

2. The stove will not operate when hot.

9Check the Heat Level Indicator if a fi re is not detected, or if the fi re has gone out the #3 light will fl ash because the Exhaust Temperature Sensor’s
contacts have opened.

9Check the hopper for fuel.

9Incorrect air damper setting. - Excessive air may consume the fi re too quickly before the next drop of fuel, leaving completely unburned fuel in the

burn pot liner. - Insuffi cient air will cause build up, further restricting the air fl ow through the Burn Pot Liner. This in turn will cause the fuel to burn cold
and very slowly. Fuel may build up and smother the fi re. In this case clean the burn pot. (NOTE: unit may require a change to the vent system or

installation of fresh air to correct Air to Fuel ratio problems).

9Combustion Blower failure. - The Combustion Blower is not turning fast enough to generate the proper vacuum in the fi re box. Visual Check – is
the blower motor turning.

9Check the Exhaust Blower voltage across the blower wires (>=114 V on #5 setting and >= 82 on #1 setting). – Replace the Circuit Board if the Volt­age reading is less than 82 V. with a line voltage >115 V AC.

9Check Vacuum levels in the exhaust channel by bypassing the Vacuum Switch, then remove the Vacuum hose from Vacuum Switch. Check exhaust
vacuum readings by placing the open end of the Vacuum Hose on a Magnahelic Gauge (readings must be above .10” W.C. on low fi re).
If the motor fails to reach a 0.10” W.C. readings, then replace the Combustion Blower.

9Poor Quality Fuel – Insuffi cient energy in the fuel to produce enough heat to keep the stove burning or operational.

9Exhaust Temperature Sensor failure. – Bypass sensor located on Exhaust Blower if stove now operates properly, the unit may require cleaning or

a new sensor. Contact your local dealer for service.

9Check the fuse on the circuit board.

3. The exhaust motor will not function normally.

9Open the left side access panel; check all connections against the wiring diagram.

9See “2. The stove will not operate when hot.” section.

4. Light # 2 on Heat output bar fl ashing

(The Vacuum Switch contacts have opened for more than 15 sec.)

9Pinch, break or blockage in Vacuum Hose - Check hose for pinch points or damage, replace or re-route as required. Blow out Vacuum Hose

9Blocked Hose Barb on Exhaust Channel - Use a paper clip to clean out Hose Barb or remove the Vacuum Hose from the Vacuum Switch and blow

into the hose to remove blockage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

9Blocked exhaust / venting system - Have stove and venting cleaned and inspected.

9Severe negative pressure in area where unit is installed - Check the operation by opening a window, does this solve the problem? If it does, install

fresh air intake to unit or room. Venting system may require vertical section to move termination into a low pressure zone.

9Vacuum Switch failure - Bypass the vacuum switch, if this corrects the problem check for above problems before replacing the Vacuum Switch.

9Damage to gray wires between Circuit Board and Vacuum Switch - Inspect wires and connectors

9Combustion Blower failure - The Combustion Blower is not turning fast enough to generate the proper vacuum in the Exhaust Channel.

Visual Check; is the blower motor turning? Check the Exhaust Blower voltage across the blower wires (>=114 V on #5 setting and >= 82 V on #1
setting). – Replace the Circuit Board if the Voltage reading is less than 82 V. with a line voltage >114 V AC.

9Check Vacuum levels in the exhaust channel by bypassing the vacuum switch, then remove the Vacuum hose from Vacuum Switch. Check exhaust
vacuum readings by placing the open end of the Vacuum Hose on a Magnahelic Gauge. (readings must be above .10” W.C. on low fi re).
If the motor fails to reach a 0.10” W.C. readings, then replace the Combustion Blower

To reset Circuit Board after a trouble code - push the ON/OFF button

5. Auger light fl ashes but auger motor does not turn at all.

9If the Auger gear box does not turn but the motor’s armature does try to spin then the auger is jammed. – Try to break apart jam by poking at the jam
through the drop tube. If this fails then empty the hopper and remove the Auger Cover **Remember to re-seal the cover after installation**

8. Ignitor- the pellets will not light.

9Everything else in the stove operates but the ignitor will not light the pellets.

9Make sure the burn pot liner is up tight and square to the ignitor tube by pushing the burn pot back against the ignitor tube.

9Check to see if the exhaust blower is operating. If not, contact your local dealer for service.

9Check the fuse on the circuit board.

NOTE: The ignitor should be bright orange in color. If not replace the ignitor.

9. Control settings (Heat Level) has no effect on the fi re.

NOTE: If the system light is fl ashing the Control Board has complete control of the unit. When the units system light becomes solid then control of the
unit is given back to the operator.

9If there is no control of the Heat Level button make sure the thermostat is calling for heat.

9Call your local dealer for service.

10. The stove keeps going out.

If the stove goes out and leaves fresh unburned pellets or cigarette-like ashes in the burn pot liner, the fi re is going out before the stove shuts off.

9Check to see that the Slider / Damper is in the correct position.

9Turn the Heat Level up slightly (poor quality pellets will require slightly higher settings).

9Set the auger trim till the #1 and #5 lights are illuminated.

If the stove goes out and there are partially burned pellets left in the burn pot liner, the stove has shut down due to a lack of air, exhaust temperature,
or power failure.

9Adjust the Slider / Damper.

9Check to see if the stove needs a more complete cleaning.

9Turn the Heat Level up slightly (poor quality pellets will require slightly higher settings).

9Did the power go out?

9Contact your local Dealer for service.
