INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read this entire Owner’s Manual before installation and op- erating your Greenfire Pellet Stove. Failure to follow these instruc- tions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.

Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.

To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation instructions. A Greenfire 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 opera- tion of the pellet stove.

Do not burn with insufficient 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.

When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the home and bolted to the floor. 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 flames).

If you have any questions with regard to your stove or the above-men- tioned information, please feel free to contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.

PELLET QUALITY

Pellet quality is important, please read the following:

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

Your Greenfire Pellet Stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Do not use any other type of fuel, as this will void any warranties stated in this manual.

The performance of your pellet stove is greatly affected by the type and quality of wood pellets being burned. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differs, so will the performance and heat output of the pellet stove.

CAUTION: 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 operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (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.

P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:

Fines (fine particles)

......1% maximum through a 1/8" screen

Bulk Density

40 pound per cubic foot minimum

Size

1/4” - 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

ASH: The ash content of the fuel and operation of your stove will directly determine the frequency of cleaning. The use of high ash fuels may result in the stove needing to be cleaned daily. A low ash fuel may allow longer intervals between cleaning.

CLINKERING: Clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the fuel that will form a hard mass during the burning process. This hard mass will block the air flow through the Burn Pot Liner and affect the performance of the stove. Any fuel, even approved types, may tend to clinker. Check the Burn-Pot Liner daily to ensure that the holes are not blocked with clinkers. If they become blocked, remove the liner (when the unit is cold) and clean/scrape the clinkers out. Clean the holes with a small pointed object if required. Refer to the section Routine Cleaning and Maintenance.

PELLET FEED RATES: Due to different fuel densities and sizes, pellet feed rates may vary. This may require an adjustment to the slider damper setting or to the auger feed trim setting on low.

Since FPI has no control over the quality of pellets that you use, we assume no liability for negative results in selection of wood pellets.

Store pellets at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove.
