IMPORTANT WARNINGS

CAUTION: Read this manual thoroughly before starting installation. For your safety, follow the installation, op- eration and maintenance instructions exactly without deviation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a possible fire hazard and will void the warranty. If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. Contact local building or fire officials about requirements and installation inspection in your area.

1.DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

2.Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or any air distribution system.

3.Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this appliance.

4.Do not use class B venting intended for gas appli- ances as a chimney or connector pipe on a pellet fired appliance.

5.The minimum clearances must be maintained for all combustible surfaces and materials including; fur- niture, carpet, drapes, clothing, wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood within this clearance space.

6.INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER - This stoves exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure. Therefore, it is imperative that the exhaust system be gas tight and installed correctly. Since Lennox Hearth Products has no control over the installa- tion of your stove, Lennox Hearth Products grants no warranty, implied or stated for the installation or maintenance of your stove, and assumes no re- sponsibility for any consequential damage(s).

7.Burning any kind of fuel consumes oxygen. If out- side air is not ducted to the appliance, ensure that there is an adequate source of fresh air available to the room where the appliance is installed.

8.The stove will not operate using natural draft, nor without a power source for the blower and fuel feeding systems.

9.Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

10.CONTINUOUS OPERATION: When operated cor- rectly, this appliance cannot be overfired. Continu- ous operation at a maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the electrical components (blow- ers, motors, and electronic controls), and is not recommended. Typical approved operation would include running at the low to mid range setting with occasional running on the maximum setting during the coldest periods of the winter. The blower speed control should be turned to high when operating the stove on the high heat setting.

11.CAUTION: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER. Pellet fuel is fed to the UltraGrateby a screw auger.

This auger is driven by a high torque motor. The auger is capable of doing serious harm to fingers. Keep pellets in the hopper at all times and keep fin- gers away from auger. The auger can start and stop automatically at any time while the stove is running.

12.CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An appli- ance hot enough to warm your home can severely burn anyone touching it. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Do not let children touch the appliance. Train them to stay a safe distance from the unit.

13.APPROVED FUEL: This appliance is designed specifically for use only with pelletized wood fu- els only. With its advanced UltraGratetechnol- ogy, this appliance is designed and approved for the burning of wood residue pellets with up to 3% ash content. This appliance is NOT approved to burn cardboard, nut hulls, cherry pits, corn, etc. regardless if it is in pellet form. Failure to comply with this restriction will void all warranties and the safety listing of the stove. Consult with your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer for more information on approved pellet fuels.

14.FLYASH BUILD-UP: For all wood pellet fuel- burning heaters, the combustion gases will con- tain small particles of fly ash. This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel being burned. Over time, the fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. The exhaust venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary.

15.SOOT FORMATION: Incomplete combustion can occur during startup, shutdown, or incorrect op- eration of the room heater. This can lead to some soot collecting in the exhaust venting system. A precautionary inspection on a regular basis is advisable to determine the necessity of cleaning. The exhaust venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary.

16.DISPOSING OF ASHES: Any ashes removed from the pellet stove must be deposited in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, outside of the dwelling pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or oth- erwise locally dispersed, they should be re- tained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

17.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

18.See the listing label on the appliance (or see Safety / Listing Labels on pages 51 and 52).
