Introduction
INSTALLATION: Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area. All local regulations, including those referring to national and European Standards need to be complied with when installing this appliance.
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. This appliance must be installed on a floor with an adequate load bearing capacity. If an existing construction doesn’t meet these prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall be taken to achieve it.
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. Fresh Air 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. NOTE: Extractor fans when operating in the same room or space as the appliance, may cause problems. Limited air for combustion may result in poor performance, smoking and other side effects of poor combustion.
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 insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended 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.
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).
