fl ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.

2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION

4.5

2.4.1 FUEL

This appliance is designed to burn wood pellet fuel. In addition, a corn/wood pellet mixture with a maximum
50% corn can be burned. Burning any other fuel, that is not approved for use with this appliance, will void the
warranty.

Important: The corn/wood pellet mixture needs to be mixed evenly before being put into the hopper.

W415-0865 / B / 05.26.11

2.4.2 PELLET SPECIFICATIONS

IT IS IMPORTANT TO SELECT AND USE ONLY PELLETS THAT ARE DRY AND FREE OF DIRT OR ANY

IMPURITIES SUCH AS HIGH SALT CONTENT. DIRTY FUEL WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERA-

TION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE APPLIANCE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. THE PELLET

FUEL INSTITUTE (P.F.I.) HAS ESTABLISHED STANDARDS FOR WOOD PELLET MANUFACTURERS.

WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF PELLETS THAT MEET OR EXCEED THESE STANDARDS. ASK YOUR

DEALER FOR A RECOMMENDED PELLET TYPE.

Pellet quality is important, please read the following:

Your Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Appliance has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do
not use any other type of fuel such as fi re logs or fi re starting pellets, as this will void the warranties stated in
this manual.

The performance and heat output of the pellet appliance is directly related to the quality and moisture of the
pellets. Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption.

P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:

Fines (fi ne particles) 1% maximum through a 1/8" screen
Bulk Density 40 pound per cubic foot minimum
Size 1/4" to 5/16" diameter, 1/2" - 1 1/2" long maximum
Ash Content 1% maximum (Premium grade)

3% maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content 8% maximum
Heat Content Approximately 8200 BTU per pound minimum

!

WARNING

9

64.1

If the fuel does not comply to
this standard the appliance may
not operate as designed.
We recommend the use of pre­mium grade (1% ash content)
for longer appliance life and less
frequent cleaning.

2.4.3 CORN SPECIFICATIONS

Use only clean-shelled corn with a moisture content less than 15% and approximate fuel value of 7,000 BTU/
lb (16,200 kJ/kg). Do not attempt to burn corn with higher moisture content or burn lesser grade fuels. Do not
burn other types of agricultural pellets or by-products (alfalfa, cherry pits, olive pits, nut shells, etc.) as they are
not permitted to be burned in this appliance.

Corn must be clean and free of debris. Never burn corn right from the fi eld. Damage caused by dirty corn is
not covered by the Lifetime Limited Warranty. Ask for screened corn only. Stalk parts, excessive fi nes and
cob remnants will clog the air fl ow holes in the burn plate. Check the corn for foreign objects.

Use only a maximum 50% corn to pellet mixture.

2.4.4 SAFETY FEATURES

HIGH LIMIT SWITCH: Your appliance is equipped with a high limit switch. In the event that the temperature of
the appliance approaches an unsafe operating temperature, this switch will shut down the pellet feed, which
will eventually shut down the unit. If this happens, it is important to fi nd out why the unit overheated. Contact
your local dealer.

LOW LIMIT SWITCH: This switch will automatically shut down the appliance if the fi re goes out or fails to light
within 15 minutes.

HOPPER DOOR INTERLOCK: Your appliance is equipped with a micro switch in the hopper assembly that
shuts-off the auger when the hopper door is opened. Closing the door switches the auger back on, allowing
pellets to feed again.

VACUUM SWITCH: This switch will sense lack of air fl ow through the appliance and shut down the pellet feed.
This lack of fl ow could be caused by a blocked vent.

POWER FAILURE: In the event of a power failure, the appliance will shut down. Once power is restored, the
appliance will re-start, unless the convection air temperature has gone above the high limit switch setting. If
this happens, contact your local dealer.

2.4.5 EPA COMPLIANCE

This appliance is EPA exempt from Phase II
prerequisites, but complies with Oregon /
Washington emissions requirements.

3.0 INSTALLATION PLANNING

!

WARNING

READ ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL OR USE THIS APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE

INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

USE ONLY WOLF STEEL APPROVED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH

THIS APPLIANCE. USING NON-LISTED ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS (BLOWERS,

NOTE: If interior vertical pellet vent is used, the clearance to the back wall is determined by the up­ward-turning elbow or "Tee". It will vary in depth depending on the brand of pellet vent used (it is ap­proximately 5"). Before placing the appliance, connect the elbow or "Tee" and allow for the minimum
3" clearance to the combustible wall.

3.4 FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS INSTALLATION

The appliance must be installed on a non-combustible fl oor protector extending the full depth of the appliance
and extending a minimum 6" in front and on either side (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) of the fuel loading
and ash removal openings.
The fl oor protector must extend under and 2" beyond each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

NOTE: Floor protection is required for spark and ash shielding, but not for limiting fl oor temperatures
from the radiant heat of the appliance. The appliance was designed and safety tested so that without
any protection, the fl oor would not overheat.

Refer to local building codes for suitable fl oor protection materials.

3.5 OUTSIDE AIR

Available from your Authorized Dealer (114KT)
Outside air must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage, unventilated crawl space).

NOTE: Wolf Steel Ltd. strongly suggests using outside air for all residential installations, especially for
those that are energy effi cient, air-tight homes.

Outside air supply must not be over 15' long.

13

Outside air vents must be made with 1 3/4" diameter or larger metal or aluminum duct with a metal screen at­tached to the end to keep out rodents (P.V.C. or other materials may not be used).
The outside air inlet must not be above or within 12" of the chimney termination, must have a rain cap or down­turned elbow to prevent the water from entering and be located so that it will not become plugged by snow or
other material.

Outside air is required for all combustible built-in enclosure installations.

3.6 MOBILE HOME

THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING ROOF

Installation into a manufactured home or mobile home should be installed in
accordance with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, in the United States or the Mobile Home Standard,
CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series, in Canada.

The appliance must be grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home
(Some states do not require this; check with your local building department).

4.0 VENTING

4.1 TYPE OF VENT

Must be an approved 3" or 4" diameter Type "L" or "PL" vent, vented to the outside or connect the vent to a
factory built type "A" chimney using an adaptor; and/or stainless steel chimney liner for masonry appliance in­stallations. Use 4" diameter vent if vent or liner height is over 15' or if installation is over 4,000' above sea level.

4.2 INSTALLING THE PELLET VENT

PELLET VENT MUST MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 3" CLEARANCE TO ANY COMBUSTIBLE (INSTALL VENT

AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER).

DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT OR CHIMNEY SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE

DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

!

WARNING

OR HEATER.

The vent must have a support bracket every 5’ when on
the exterior wall. To achieve optimum performance, keep
vent runs as short as possible, especially on horizontal
installations.

MAXIMUM VENTING: Maximum venting height is 33’.
Maximum horizontal vent run is 10’. Use no more than
180° of elbows (two 90’ elbows, or two 45’ elbows and
one 90’ elbow, etc), excluding the tee and the termination.

VENT INST ALLATION: Termination must exhaust above
the air inlet elevation, and parallel or above the exhaust
output of the pellet appliance. It is recommended that at
least 3’ of vertical pipe be installed to create some natural
draft. This is to help prevent the possibility of smoke or
odour entering the home during the appliance shut down
or in the event of a power outage. Horizontal sections
must have a 1/4” rise every 12” of travel if longer than 3’.

The pellet vent connections must be sealed with HI-Temp
RTV Silicone and screwed together with at least 3 3/8”
long stainless steel screws. Seal each vent section by
injecting a liberal amount of 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone
sealant into the gap. We recommend sealing the outside
of the vent connections to permit easier access when
servicing.

Use 4” diameter

“L” vent if

4.4 PELLET VENT TERMINATION

The vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering) or a 45° downturn.
If the termination is located on a windy side of the house, a shield is recommended to prevent soot from build­ing up on the side of the house.
Horizontal terminations must protrude 12" from the wall, vertical terminations require a minimum 24" above the
highest point that it penetrates through the roof.
Depending on pellet quality, vent confi guration and air settings, black soot may occur on the terminal wall.
