Page 11 Venting venting Venting Use 4” pellet vent pipe only. A combustion blower is used to extract the combustion gases from the firebox. This creates a negative pressure in the firebox and a positive pressure in the venting system as shown in Fig. 4. The longer the vent pipe and more elbows used in the system, the greater the flow resistance.
Page 12 venting Installation NOTE: Use only 4” diameter approved pellet venting system. Be sure to inspect and clean exhaust venting system frequently. INSTALLATION IS TO BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

Page 15 Installing Duct Installation 3/4” NOTE: Cold return water temperature (Sustained temperatures below 140 degrees Fahrenheit) will lead to condensation in the firebox. This moisture can lead to creosote formation. To help minimize moisture and creosote, it is strongly recommended that some form of temperature balance is incorporated into the return water system. NOTICE: when installing with the atmospheric conversion: All of the pressurized system components shown are not nec- essary.

To help minimize moisture and creosote, it is strongly recommended that some form of temperature balance is incorporated into the return water system. NOTICE: when installing with the atmospheric conversion: All of the pressurized system components shown are not nec- essary. Air vents or bleeders will need to be removed from the plumbing system to prevent air from entering the lines. Control Dipswitch #6 will need to be turned “ON”.
Page 20 Over heat Safety zone OverHeat Safety Zone (Dump Zone): STRONGLY RECOMMENDED in all installations. When the pellet boiler is operating at High burn, and all demand from the heating system stops, the control will reduce the feed rate and shut down completely as necessary. This may take several minutes, and the remain- ing heat may cause the water temperature to continue to rise.
Page 21 Installation Draft Test Procedure After the venting is completed, the firebox low draft Firebox Door will need to be checked and possibly adjusted. After removing the 3/8” bolt from the draft hole shown in Fig. 9, insert the draft meter tube. The appliance doors and Draft Bolt Location hopper lid must be latched during this test.

This is usually a weekly maintenance proce- dure. Cleaning the burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the bottom is not a problem.
Page 27 Operation 4. If Starting After an Empty Hopper, Turn Feed Adjuster to “TEST” (for one 60 second cycle). This will feed pellets into the auger tube and also allow you to check the motors for operation. NOTE: The auger motor will not operate with any of the doors open.

maintenance Burnpot Cleaning: The burnpot should be cleaned no less than once a week. For best operation the burnpot should be cleaned every time the hopper is filled with pellets. The fire does not have to be out to scrape the burnpot although it is recommended the boiler be on minimum burn at the time of cleaning.

Atmospheric Conversion Atmospheric Conversion: Item # 1-00-232200, provides automatic fill, and converts the heating system plumbing from pressurized to a zero pressure system. Allows for installation into more places where codes and standards restrict pressurized systems. Note that when using the atmo- spheric conversion, air bleeders and check valves may actually allow air into the lines. Another reason it is important to have a licensed Plumber involved in each phase of your installation. when using the atmospheric conversion, the circuit board dipswitch #6 must be in the “ON”...
