FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
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 and premium grade residential
pellet fuel is as follows:
• CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m. to avoid insert and vent
rusting.
• 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

Venting
This appliance is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL pellet vent
pipe. The flue collar on the fireplace insert accepts 3” diameter pipe. The
vent pipe can be installed vertically or horizontally (see Venting section
for recommended installations).
The combustion air for this fireplace insert is drawn through a pipe at
the lower rear of the fireplace insert. For mobile home installations a 2”
ID flex line or pipe can be attached to the fireplace insert’s air intake to
draw air from outside the house.
Thermostat
This fireplace insert can be operated manually or with a thermostat.
Lighting
This fireplace insert is equipped with an electric self ignitor for ease of
ignition.
Fuel Specifications
This insert is designed to burn wood pellet fuel. In addition, a corn/wood
pellet mixture, with a maximum of 50 percent corn can be burned. Burning
any other fuel that is not approved for use with this appliance will void the
appliance warranty. IMPORTANT: The corn/wood mix needs to be mixed
evenly before being put in the Winslow™ pellet insert hopper.
Wood Pellet Specifications: This appliance has been designed to burn
wood residue pellets with up to 3% ash content. Dirty fuel will adversely
affect the performance of the insert. Any questions regarding pellet fuel
can be answered at the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI), www.pelletheat.org.
• BTU CONTENT: There are a number of variations in pellet fuels that are
not included in PFI standards. For example, BTU (heat value) content
may range from just under 8,000 to almost 9,000 Btu, depending
upon species and region of the country and other variables.
Corn Specifications: Use only clean-shelled corn with a moisture content
less than 15% and approximate fuel value of 7000 BTU/lb (16,200 kJ/kg).
Do not attempt to burn corn with higher moisture content or burn lesser
grade fuels. Do not burn other types of agricultural pellets or by-products
(alfalfa, cherry pits, olive pits, nut shells, etc.) as they are not permitted
to be burned in these appliances.
