ELECTRICAL ELEMENT CONNECTION
The following instructions do not supersede the local code.
The electrical element must be connected to the pellet central processing unit (Pellet CPU) (see WIRING
DIAGRAM). For security reasons, the electrical element has a manual reset thermostatic sensor that is located
inside the electrical unit. If the temperature of the electric unit exceeds the high limit, the thermostatic sensor will
disengage the elements. To reactivate, press the red "manual reset" button on the thermostatic sensor (L-170
thermodisc) after finding and fixing the problem that has caused the unit to overheat (static pressure too high, fan
breakdown, etc.)

The PELLET / ELECTRIC combination model uses two thermostats: one thermostat controls the electric heating,
and the other one controls the pellet heating. When the call for heat cannot be satisfied by pellet heating, the
electrical element will automatically take over to maintain the house at the temperature set on the electrical
element's thermostat. Therefore, under normal bi-energy use, you should set the pellet system thermostat 2
higher than the electric system thermostat; the bigger the gap, the more the pellet heating will contribute to the
overall heating needs.

THERMOSTAT (S)
Pellet furnace only
The thermostat must be installed on an inside wall and located where it is not likely to be affected by the draft
coming from an air outlet. It must be installed at a minimum of 55 inches above the floor. If the thermostats use a
