CARE AND OPERATION

FUEL

Clinkering - Silica (or sand) in the fuel, along with other impurities, can cause clinkering. A clinker is a hard mass of silica formed in the burning process. Clinkering is a function of the fuel, (not the stove), but adversely affects the performance of the stove by blocking off the air pas- sages in the grate. Even P.F.I. approved pellet fuel may tend to clinker. A clinker can be removed from the Ultra- Grateand placed in the ash pan with the use of the grate scraper / ash pan tool furnished with your stove. See Routine Maintenance (pages 28 - 33) for more in- formation on cleaning.

Ash - The frequency of removal of the ash and mainte- nance performed on the stove is directly proportional to the ash content of the fuel and the operation duration of your pellet stove. Low ash fuel may allow longer intervals between cleaning, however, a stove burning high ash fuel may need to be cleaned as often as everyday.

PLEASE NOTE: Lennox Hearth Products has no control over the manufacturing of pellet fuel and will not be held responsible for poor stove performance or any damage caused by poor quality pellet fuels.

Fuel Feed Rates - Different brands of pellets will feed at varying rates due to their size and density (length and diameter). This may require a slight adjustment in the damper control (see pages 12 & 26) or the fuel feed trim to compensate (see note on page 22).

UltraGrate

Fuel Specifications - Using the UltraGrateburn sys- tem, this appliance has been designed to burn wood resi- due pellets with up to 3% ash content. Agricultural pellets (i.e.… Corn, alfalfa etc.) are not permitted to be burned in

the stove. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the performance of the stove.

Caution: The use of unapproved, dirty, wet and / or high salt content fuel will void the warranty!

Wood pellets manufactured to the pellet fuels institute (P.F.I.) certification standard are available in two grades, Standard and Premium. The primary difference between the two is the ash content of the pellets.

The P.F.I., specification for standard grade & premium grade residential pellet fuel is as follows:

•CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m.

•BULK DENSITY: 40 lb. / Cu. Ft. minimum

•MOISTURE CONTENT: 8% maximum

•ASH CONTENT: < 3% maximum (standard grade) < 1% maximum (premium grade)

•FINES: 0.5% maximum through a 1/8” screen

•BTU CONTENT: Minimum 8200 BTU per pound.

Pellet Feed / Pellet Size - The pellet feed system is de- signed to handle a wide range of pellet sizes up to a maximum of 5 / 16" diameter. Different pellets may feed at considerably different rates. You may notice a differ- ence in the burn if you change pellet fuel sizes. The longer the pellet, the slower it will feed and vice versa. If the stove will not stay burning at the minimum fuel feed setting, those particular pellets may not be feeding fast enough. If this happens, reduce the amount of combus- tion air by adjusting the damper. See pages 12 & 26 be- fore adjusting the damper.

Long Burn Time - When operated correctly, this appli- ance cannot be overfired. Continuous operation at a maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the elec- trical components (blowers, motors, and electronic con- trols), and is not recommended. Typical approved opera- tion 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 con- trol should be turned to high when operating the stove on the high heat setting. A lower heat setting is recom- mended for overnight operation or when the room is va- cated for long periods of time.

Note: See Fuel Delivery Rate on page 24 for burn times.
