PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

WARNING

Check all local building and safety codes before

installation. The installation instructions and appro-

priate code requirements must be followed exactly

and without compromise. Alterations to the stove are

not allowed. Do not connect the stove to a chimney

system serving another stove, appliance, or any air

distribution duct. Failure to follow these instructions

will void the manufacturers warranty.

The installation of this appliance must conform to local codes and appli-

cable state and federal requirements. Familiarity with these requirements

before installation is essential. Important considerations to discuss with

local building ofﬁcials include:

1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code, State or Regional

Codes).

Electrical codes:

In USA, NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70 – Latest Edition

In Canada, CSA C22.1 – Latest Edition

Power Supply Requirements

The power cord must be plugged into a standard, 120 volt, 60 Hz grounded

electrical outlet. The power supply cord must be routed to avoid contact

with any of the hot or sharp exterior surface areas of the stove. When

installed in a manufactured home, the appliance must be electrically

grounded to the steel chassis (see Mobile Home Installations on Page

11, for additional requirements). These requirements must be met unless

otherwise speciﬁed by state or local authorities.

Electrical

• The ﬁreplace insert requires 120 volts AC for operation.

• Maximum wattage is 700.

• Igniter wattage is 400.

• Normal operating wattage is 300.

Electrical Generator Operation

Your Winslow™ PI40 insert can be powered with a gas driven electrical

gererator. However, the generator’s electrical regulator may not be compat-

ible with the insert’s electronics. The higher the quality of the gererator,

the greater the chance that it is compatible with the insert.

Questions To Ask Local Building Ofﬁcial

A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing ﬁre hazards and

perilous conditions that can arise when wood pellet burning appliances

are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufactur-

ers’ instructions.

WARNING

Electrical grounding instructions: This appliance is

equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for

your protection against shock hazard and should

be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-

prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the ground-

ing prong from this plug. Do not route power cord

under or in front of appliance.

Surge Protectors - A surge protector is recommended to ensure the

stove’s electrical components are not damaged due to a surge in the

electrical supply. Only high quality protectors should be used - cheap

ones do not provide the protection needed.

Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several potential sources of

ﬁre in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible,

install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce

the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced

by these appliances). If your local code requires a smoke detector be

installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of

your local code. Check with your local building department for require-

ments in your area.

Installation / Maintenance Standards - National Fire Protection Associa-

tion – The primary NFPA standard that refers to installation and main-

tenance of pellet appliances and venting is NFPA 211 – Latest Edition:

Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel appliances.

The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine

its value as a source of heat. This type of appliance depends primarily on

air circulation (convection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central

location is often best. There are other practical considerations, which

must be considered before a ﬁnal selection of locations is made.

• Existing Chimneys

• Pellet Fuel Storage

• Aesthetic Considerations

• Roof Design (rafter locations & roof pitch)

• Room Trafﬁc

• Proximity to Combustibles

• Electrical Wiring

SELECTING A LOCATION

CAUTION

The body of these appliances are very heavy. The

use of a heavy duty escalara (stair step hand truck)

is recommended for lifting the appliance body.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE WARNING

This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure. Very

airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, or homes with furnace

cold air returns located in close proximity to the stove may create nega-

tive pressure in the same room as the heating appliance. This can create

dangerous condition, drawing combustion by-products into the home. Be

sure your home has adequate makeup air to eliminate negative pressures

caused by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air connected to the

appliance probably will not resolve such a problem as the stove is not the

source of negative pressure. Lennox Hearth Products accepts no liability

for damages resulting from negative pressures described here.

Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for combustion. The

fresh air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space where

it will be installed. Ventilation is essential when using a solid-fuel-burning

heater. In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may inhibit the rate

the exhaust ﬂows through the venting system (caused by a shortage of

air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household

appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat

pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, ﬁreplaces, and other

fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this heater

uses oxygen from inside the dwelling. If the available fresh air delivery

in the dwelling is insufﬁcient to support the demands of these appli-

ances, problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure will result

in performance problems. To correct this problem it may help to open

a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or install an

outside combustion air duct to the appliance.

3. Is a permit required - cost. You may wish to contact your insurance

company to ask if they require this.

4. If outside combustion air is required

5. Rooms where the installation is not allowed
