• Stoves are dangerously hot. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the stove. • The Hearthland is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this stove will void the warranty and safety listing. Keep foreign objects out of the hopper. • NEVER use gasoline, gasoline‐type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ’freshen up’ a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use. • The Hearthland is designed to use a standard 115 Volt 3‐prong grounded electrical outlet. A grounded surge protector is strongly recommended to prevent damage to your stove in the event of lightning or other power surge instances. Never use an adapter plug or sever the grounding prong on the electrical plug. Never route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, over the stove or over the exhaust piping. If you suspect a malfunction push the “OFF” Touch Pad and inspect the stove. Note: The Hearthland Stove will not operate during a power outage unless attached to a correctly sized generator or battery backup. If a power outage occurs, open a window to vent any smoke from room. If the malfunction persists unplug the unit and call your authorized dealer. Never operate the stove if you smell smoke coming from anywhere on the stove. If this occurs turn your stove off and call your authorized dealer. • CAUTION: Fuel is fed to the firebox by a screw auger driven by a high torque motor. This auger can start and stop without warning while stove is in operation. NEVER put fingers in or near pellet feed auger, as serious injury could occur. Note; your Hearthland stove is equipped with a hopper mounted cut off switch which prevents the auger from running when hopper lid is open. Do not tamper with this switch. VS0952_E 12/30/2009 4 ...
IMPORTANT • Shut stove off if the firepot overfills with pellets or the flame becomes dark and sooty. This indicates poor fuel combustion and the cause should be investigated and remedied. (See Trouble Shooting tips for possible causes) • It’s critical for proper operation that you maintain unobstructed airflow through the intake vents of the stove. The viewing door and ash pan must be closed and latched during operation. Never abuse the door by slamming it shut. • The pellet appliance exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and positive chimney pressure. The exhaust system must be completely airtight and properly installed. All exhaust vent joints must be tightly sealed with gasket and or HI‐TEMP RTV silicone sealant, and at least 3 (550°F) sheet metal screws per joint. • For required periodic maintenance and cleaning refer to Section #6 “Maintenance & Required Cleaning” of this manual. Failure to maintain your stove may lead to poor operation and exhaust fume leakage into your home. Only use replacement components that are authorized by Hearthland Products, LLC. • Always disconnect power from your stove before performing any maintenance. Power Cord must be unplugged. Pushing ”OFF” Touch Pad does not disconnect all power to the stove. • To avoid accidental fire, DO NOT place any flammable item on or near the stove. • To prevent burns, maintenance or cleaning, should only be performed on a cool stove. • Hearthland Products grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the maintenance or installation of your stove, and assumes no responsibility whatsoever of any consequential damage to stove or its surroundings.

Y H S W EARTHLAND TOVE ORKS The operations and maintenance of your Hearthland Series of pellet fuel appli‐ ances are unique and should not be con‐ sidered to be like a wood, coal, gas, elec‐ tric, propane or oil burning stove appli‐ ance. Wood pellet fuel is stored in the hopper. An auger delivers the fuel to the burn grate. The fuel rate, or heat output, is set by adjusting the Heat Level touch pad, (settings 1 to 4). A fan provides combustion air to the burn grate. The proper amount of combustion air is sup‐ plied to the burn grate automatically and changes as the Heat Level changes. The higher the Heat Level, the larger the amount of combustion air. The fuel burns in the burn grate, producing heat. Most of heat passes around the heat exchange tubes and is blown into the room by the convection fan. Exhaust gases exit through the stove’s exhaust vent. The Hearthland’s heat output can be adjusted from HEAT LEVEL CONTROL Heat Level setting 1‐4, by pressing on the Heat Level touch pad. The convection fan can be adjusted using the Fan Speed touch pad to run faster or slower to corre‐ spond to the amount of heat being produced. To turn off the stove, simply pressing “OFF” on the touchpad, and the unit will enter shutdown mode ...
S F UTOMATIC AFETY EATURES Shutdown Mode This mode stops the auger fuel feed system and runs the combustion & convection blowers for 10 minutes or until the stove exhaust cools below 120° F, at which point all electrical components will be off. Shutdown mode occurs when “OFF” is pressed on the touchpad or from other causes. If this happens unintentionally, find and correct the cause and press start on the touchpad. (See Section #9 “Troubleshooting”) Hopper Lid Switch This device is mounted on the right side of the hopper opening. When the hopper door is open, the switch stops the auger feed system. If the hopper door is left open for more than one minute, the unit will enter shut‐down mode. If this happens unintentionally, simply close the door and press start on the touchpad. Vacuum Switch The vacuum switch ensures that the vacuum of the entire combustion system is maintained. The switch is lo‐ cated on the inner rear wall of the unit and takes measurement from the fresh air intake tube. If the vacuum switch fails to read adequate negative pressure for more than one minute, the unit will enter shut down mode. This feature ensures that the stove will not operate with the door ajar or the ash pan tightened incompletely. If this happens, find and correct the cause and press start on the touchpad. (See Section #9 “Troubleshooting”) Intelligent Temperature Controller (ITC) The ITC feature of your stove monitors the exhaust temperature and adjusts fuel feed accordingly to maintain consistent heat output temperatures. In this manner, the ITC is able to regulate stove heat settings with great accuracy, compensating for variations in fuel such as size and BTU content as well as optimizing fuel efficiency and preventing over‐firing. L250 High Limit Switch Your pellet appliance has a high tem‐ perature limit switch as an added safety HOPPER measure if the ITC were to fail. If the SWITCH temperature at this location exceeds 250° F, the unit will enter shut down mode. If this occurs, find and correct the cause and press start on the touch‐ pad.

R C AINTENANCE EQUIRED LEANING Proper care of your Hearthland pellet appliance is required for peak, sustained performance. The need for and frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of pellets burned, pellet quality, length of time since last cleaning and the quality of combustion. While becoming acquainted with your new stove, inspect your BURN GRATE, BURN POT, HEAT EXCHANGE TUBES, ASH DRAWER, and WINDOW daily and clean until a pattern of cleaning re‐quirement is determined. The following outlines aspects of required maintenance and provides performance frequency as a “rough guide.” As heating demands increase the need for stove and exhaust system cleaning and ash removal will increase. IMPORTANT • Regular maintenance must be conducted for safe and efficient operation. • Disconnect power to the stove if maintenance requires the opening of service panels. • Conduct maintenance on a COLD appliance only. • Never empty pellets from the burn pot into the hopper. Pellets that may appear cool may retain enough heat to ignite other pellets resulting in smoke or fire damage. • When removing ash build‐up, use an approved ash vacuum only. A cleaning brush can be used to loosen any ash build‐up before vacuuming. DO NOT USE A STANDARD HOUSEHOLD VACUUM OR SHOP VAC AS THE FILTERS WILL LEAK FINE PARTICLES OF ASH INTO THE HOME. • Do not use abrasive chemical cleaners on your stove as they will abrade surfaces and leave scratches.
