FuEL CONSidErATiONS Your Pellet heater 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. Store your pellets in a dry place. DO NOT store the fuel within the installation clearances of the unit or within the space required for refueling and ash removal. Doing so could result in a house fire.

Page 11: Through The Wall Installation
Installation THrOugH THE WALL iNSTALLATiON (RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION) Canadian installations must conform to CAN/CSA-B365. To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter is at least 18 in.(457mm) above ground level, a straight section of pellet vent pipe can be used through the wall. Your heater 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 in.(76mm) 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... -
Page 12: Outside Air Supply
Installation 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 1ft (0.305m) away from the exhaust system termination. The outside air pipe on your heater is 2” (50.8mm) OD. The outside air connecting pipe must be at least 2” (50.8mm) ID. The outside air connection used MUST NOT restrict the amount of air available to your heater. 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 heater.

Page 13: Understanding Your Heater
Understanding your heater How your heater works Your heater 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 heater 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 heater 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 heater 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 heater. 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 heater, it is extremely important that the exhaust system be properly installed and maintained. And, that when operating your heater, you make sure that the viewing door is properly sealed. FigurE 9 DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL USSC... -

Page 15: Daily Operation
Operation dAiLy OPErATiON The hopper and heater top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand protection when refueling your heater. Never place your hand near the auger while the heater is in operation. In the event of a power outage, the heater 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 heater during a power outage. If the unit was ON when the power outage occurred, one of the following will take place:... -
Page 16: Interior Chambers
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 heater, 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. The container shall not be used for other trash or waste disposal. 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 heater 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 heater gLASS - Cleaning, removal and replacement of Broken door glass Cleaning - We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner.
