Heating Specifications Input Rating Heat Output Efficiency Heating Capacity Fuel Burn Rate Burn Time (lowest setting) Hopper Capacity BTU output will vary depending on the quality of fuel. Use PFI listed fuels for the best results. Heating capacity will vary depending on floor plan layout of your home, degree of insulation, and the outside temperature. Pellet size may effect the actual rate of fuel feed and burn times. Fuel feed rates may vary by as much as 20%. Use PFI listed fuel for best results. Dimensions Height Width Depth Electrical Specifications Electrical Rating Watts (maximum) FUEL CONSIDERATIONS Your Pellet stove is designed to burn premium hardwood pellets that comply with Association of Pellet Fuel Industries standards. (Minimum of 40 lbs density per cubic ft, 1/4” to 5/16” diameter, length no greater than 1.5”, not less than 8,200 BTU/lb, moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million). Pellets that are soft, that contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust, or that have been or are wet will result in reduced performance. Due to the different fuel densities and sizes, the fuel feed rate may vary. This may require an adjustment to the slider damper setting or the auger feed trim setting on low. SAFETY AND EPA COMPLIANCE Your Pellet stove has been safety tested and listed to ASTM E 1509, by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. Portland, Oregon, USA. It is also certified and tested to EPA Phase II requirements. -

Page 9: Through The Wall Installation
Installation THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATION (RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION) To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter is at least 18-inches above ground level, a straight section of pellet vent pipe can be used through the wall. Your Forester dealer should be able to provide you with a kit that will handle most of this installation, which will include a wall thimble that will allow the proper clearance through a combustible wall. Once outside the structure, a 3-inch clearance should be maintained from the outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed on the pipe with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At this point, a 3-foot (minimum) section of pipe should be added with a horizontal cap, which would complete the installation (see FIGURE 6). -
Page 10: Outside Air Supply
OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY (optional, unless installing in a mobile home) Depending on your location and home construction, outside air may be necessary for optimal performance. Metal pipe (solid or flexible) must be used for the outside air installation. PVC pipe is NOT approved and should NEVER be used. A wind shield over the termination of the outside air pipe or a 90-degree elbow or bend away from the prevailing winds MUST be used when an outside air pipe is installed through the side of a building. The outside air termination MUST be at least 1-foot away from the exhaust system termination. The outside air pipe on your Forester stove is 2” OD. The outside air connecting pipe must be at least 2” ID. The outside air connection used MUST NOT restrict the amount of air available to your stove. The outside air connecting pipe must be as short and free of bends as possible, and it must fit over, not inside, the outside air connection to the stove.

Page 11: Understanding Your Stove
Understanding your stove How your stove works Your Forester stove utilizes a vertical auger fuel feed system that is operated by a microprocessor controlled digital circuit board. The digital circuit board allows the vertical auger fuel feed system to run in a timer-based, non-continuous cycle; this cycling allows the auger to run for a predetermined period of seconds. The auger pushes pellets up a chute located in the hopper which in turn falls through another chute into the burnpot. Your stove is equipped with an automatic ignition system that should ignite the fuel within 3 - 5 minutes from pressing the button. As pellets enter the burnpot and ignite, outside air is drawn across the fuel and heated during the combustion process which is then pulled through the heat exchanger by the exhaust motor or draft fan. As the stove heats up, room air is circulated around the heat exchanger by means of a room air blower, distributing warm air into the room. The amount of heat produced by the stove is proportional to the rate of the fuel that is burned, and this rate is controlled . In order to maintain combustion of the fuel at a desired rate, the air provided to the by the Fuel Control button burn chamber by the exhaust or draft fan must be maintained precisely. Too little air will result in a flame that is non- energetic or lazy. If the fuel continues to flow with too little air for long enough, the burn pot will fill with too much fuel and the fire will smother out. To much air will result in a flame that is overactive or aggressive. The flame in this situation is typically very blue at the bottom and resembles a blow torch. If this situation continues, the fuel in the burn pot will be consumed and the fire will go out. Matching the amount of air required for proper combustion to the fuel rate is the primary objective in effectively burning pellets of various brands and qualities in your stove. The air to fuel ratio can be adjusted to allow almost any fuel quality to burn effectively by following the procedures detailed in the remainder of this manual. Because a forced draft pressure is required for the combustion process inside your stove, it is extremely important that the exhaust system be properly installed and maintained. And, that when operating your stove, you make sure that the viewing door is properly sealed. FIGURE 9 DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL USSC... -
Page 12: Operation
START-UP PROCEDURE Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use. 1.) Verify that the hopper is clean and free of foreign matter including pellet fines and dust. -
Page 13: Daily Operation
DAILY OPERATION The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand protection when refueling your stove. Never place your hand near the auger while the stove is in operation. In the event of a power outage, the stove WILL NOT function. It is very important that unit be vented properly (with outside air), as the natural draft is needed to clear the smoke from the stove during a power outage. If the unit was ON when the power outage occurred, one of the following will take place:... -
Page 14: Maintenance
Maintenance INTERIOR CHAMBERS Periodically remove and clean the burnpot and the area inside the burnpot housing. In particular it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burnpot to remove any build up that may prevent air from moving through the burn pot freely. If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner (i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room. ASH DISPOSAL Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled. CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust or pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface. Clean as needed. DOOR AND GLASS GASKETS Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets periodically. The main door may need to be removed to have frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets replaced by your authorized “Forester” dealer. BLOWER MOTORS Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust and distribution blowers annually. Remove the exhaust blower from the exhaust duct and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up. PAINTED SURFACES Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear, or you wish to renew your paint, contact ” dealer to obtain a can of suitable high-temperature paint. your authorized “Forester GLASS We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner. Should a build up of creosote or carbon accumulate, you may wish to use 000 steel wool and water to clean the glass. In the event you need to replace the glass, only high temperature ” d ealer to obtain this ceramic glass of the correct size and thickness may be used. Contact your authorized “Forester glass. -
