INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
UPLAND® 207 PELLET STOVE
Thank you purchasing our stove. With proper
installation, operation, and maintenance this stove
will provide you with warmth and hearth enjoyment
for decades. Please take the time to review the
proper installation and operating procedures.
This is a natural draft pellet stove. That is not
common. However, it is part of the design that
provides an awesome fire view, trouble free
operation, and great flexibility in the quality of the
pellets that you may burn.
CRITICAL - THE VENTING: The Upland 207P Pellet
Stove must be installed following the National Fire
Protection Agency 211 and ASTM 1059 guidelines
for a natural draft solid fuel appliance. The flue must
clear the roof line and rise two feet above any portion
of the roof that is within ten feet. That is standard for
a wood stove or coal stove. (This type of installation
eliminates most back draft and shut down problems
and keeps the side of your home free of hydrocarbon
deposits.)
If you are replacing another solid fuel heater and
connecting to an existing solid fuel chimney this is
not an issue if your original installation is up to code.
You should already be in compliance. A standard

- Page 8 A taller chimney and an interior chimney (hotter) tend to have better draft. If the draft fluctuates from positive to negative on windy days, consider installing a draft inducing chimney cap, such as the Vacu-Stack by Improved Consumer Products, Inc. www.chimneycaps.com They do make a 4"...

- Page 10 Plus, the exhaust gases from corn combustion are more corrosive than the smoke from wood pellets. The Upland 207P Pellet Stove can handle a mix of up to 1:4, pellets to corn. It will require considerably more monitoring and tending than if you burned solely pellets.

There are several sensors on the bottom surface of the hopper and cast-iron stove body that may be damaged if lifting from the bottom. Align lifting forks or straps to catch only a flat surface.

- Page 13 There are two sensors within the hopper. A magnetic proximately switch signals whether the HOPPER LID is in place. The auger motor is disabled when the hopper lid is removed. The connection wires are red. A thermal snap switch shuts down the stove if the switch senses HOPPER OVERHEAT .
- Page 14 The screen on the Control Panel will light up and confirm that 120V is connected. An advisory to read the instructions flashes, followed by our contact information. Within a few seconds the following screen will appear. At this time you want to press the left or down button. Do not be impatient.

Press MENU four times for the following screen. Press ENTER Press Up Note that all of the sensors say OK except for the Trapdoor and Fuel . That is normal. The purpose of the Trapdoor is to cut off all combustion air to the stove in the event of a power loss or loss of draft. - Page 16 operation the trapdoor is held open by an electro- magnet.) The sensor should then indicate OK. Once confirmed, allow the trapdoor to close. Lift lever to open. (Located on back of hopper) If you have any problems at this point contact us. With all of the wiring and sensors checked out, you are ready to start a fire.
- Page 17 Never use gasoline, acetone, paint thinner or any other highly flammable, volatile substance. Close the combustion air control damper by pushing towards the stove. The combustion air control damper is located to the upper right of the Controller You then light the pellets, close the door, and adjust the air control damper to spread the flame.
- Page 18 OPERATING WITH A THERMOSTAT The Upland 207 Pellet Stove will accept a non-voltage carrying thermostat. This is the most common open and close switching thermostat. Do not connect to a thermostat that is connected to a transformer. Unplug the power cord before removing the Controller.

- Page 20 The carbon must be chipped out of the burn pot and elbow using the provided chipping tool or blade screw driver. Wear protective eye ware - the carbon chips are very hard. The carbon at the bottom of the elbow will be worn smooth by the flow of the pellets.

- Page 26 Owner'ˇ s Tips and Frequently Asked Questions Startup Tip (optional) - Lubricating the Auger Whenever the stove shuts down it leaves some hard residue and baked on creosote in the front end of the auger assembly. The coating on the interior of the tube and on the flutes of the shaft causes increased resistance to the flow of pellets until the assembly warms up and the rough surface left on the flutes (blades) of the auger is again polished smooth by the fresh pellets.
- Page 27 As soon as you see the oiled pellets at the bottom of the elbow, shut down the stove by holding the POWER button for 2 seconds. If the elbow gets one-half full of the oiled pellets, spoon some of them back out. You can put them in a back corner of the firebox.
- Page 28 If left undisturbed, all of the charcoal will burn up. A properly established combustion system will resemble a volcano. How often to I have to take out the ashes or clean the Upland 207 Pellet Stove? As a general rule plan on letting the stove run out of pellets and cool overnight once every four to six weeks.
- Page 29 Ashes - A common mistake of new owners is to rake and clean out the ashes too often. Using quality pellets, one only needs to lightly rake the ashes once every few days. The Upland has sufficient ash storage that the stove can run for a month without removing ashes.
- Page 30 With good pellets and proper operation, the Upland 207 Pellet Stove can generally go for a month or more before a maintenance cleaning of the burn pot and feed elbow.
- Page 31 Rarely, you may get some pellets that pulverize into sawdust during start-up but once running they are solid enough to feed fine. If the fire has burned fully down into the elbow without the auger starting to turn, you may plunge your blade screwdriver into the bottom of the elbow towards the front of the auger to break up the sawdust clog.

- Page 33 that you can run out an adjacent window to exhaust any dust that gets through the filter. If you need some length, flex sump pump hose and duct tape is an easy fix. This time you want to remove all of the ash that has built up on the inside of the stove during the winter.
