Contour Pellet Stove

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

1.Do not install the stove in a sleeping room.

2.The structural integrity of the mobile home floor, walls and ceiling/roof must be maintained (i.e., do not cut through floor joists, wall studs, ceiling trusses, etc.).

3.An outside air inlet must be provided for the combustion air and be unrestricted while the stove is in use. Use Outside Air Kit (part #811-0871).

4.The combustion air duct system must be made of metal. It must permit zero clearance to combustible construction and prevent material from dropping into the inlet or into the area beneath the dwelling and contain a rodent screen.

5.The stove must be secured to the mobile home by bolting it to the floor (using lag bolts).

6.The stove must be grounded with #8 copper grounding wire or equivalent, terminated at each end with an NEC approved grounding device.

7.Refer to Clearances to Combustibles Section on page 4 for listings to combustibles and appropriate chimney systems.

8.Seal all wall and floor inlets to prevent air or moisture penetration. Check periodically to ensure the inlet is free of obstruction (e.g., snow, ice).

9.Installation should be in accordance with the Manufac- tured Home and Safety Standard (HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24.

THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

1.A 24 volt AC thermostat is required to operate this pellet stove and is included. It is equipped with an adjustable heat anticipator. The current rating is .05 amps. The anticipator needs to be adjusted to the lowest setting available.

2.When mounting a thermostat on a wall, be sure to follow your thermostat installation instructions carefully.

NOTE: Be sure the thermostat is mounted level for accurate readings. The thermostat should be mounted on an inside wall and not in direct line with the stove convection air.

NOTE: If the thermostat is located too close to the stove, you may need to set the temperature setting slightly higher to maintain the desired temperature in your home.

3.There is a four screw terminal block located on the back of the stove beside the power cord inlet. The center two screws are for the thermostat wires.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.FUEL SIZE AND MATERIAL Wood Pellets

Fuel pellets are made from sawdust or wood by-products. If the source material is hardwood, they will have a higher mineral content, creating a heavier ash. Minerals and other noncombustible materials, such as sand, will turn into glass when heated to the extreme temperatures our firepot reaches. This is what forms clinkers in the bottom of the firepot. Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. That is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others. Pellets are manufactured in either 1/4” (6mm) or 5/16” (8mm) diameter and many varying lengths. Pellet lengths may even vary by lot from the same manufacturer which is why the feed rate may need to be adjusted occasionally. We recommend that you buy fuel in multi- ton lots whenever possible. Buying large quantities of fuel at once will greatly reduce the number of times the feed adjustments will need to be made. However, we do recommend trying various brands before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure customer satisfaction.

Shelled Field Corn

Extensive factory and field testing has demonstrated shelled field corn to be an efficient and very economical fuel. We recommend the use of a 50-50 blend of corn and wood pellets. The only change in operation is that the feed rate may require a slight adjustment. The BTU output of the appliance varies slightly compared to pellets, depending on the quality of the corn used. In cases where it is acceptable for the stove to run full time, 100% corn will work after the fire has been started using wood pellets.

2.BEFORE YOUR FIRST FIRE

a.First, make sure your stove has been properly installed and that all safety requirements have been met. Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and thermostat installation instructions.

b.Now open the front door of the stove and remove all of the accessories that were placed there for shipment. Remove any labels that may be affixed to the glass.

c.Check the position of the Thermocouple and make sure that it protrudes approximately 1” (2.5cm) into the firepot. It may be necessary to slide the Thermocouple and Thermocouple Cover (ceramic protection tube) into their proper positions. Now close the front door.

NOTE: Thermocouple Cover tip must be touching the tip of the Thermocouple.
