Follow the same basic steps in locating your stove, attaching the exhaust system and outside air intake to your stove as described in "FREESTANDING INSTALLATION" and the "PL" vent manufacturer's procedures for installing through a wall, ceiling, eve and roof.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL STOVE IN SLEEPING ROOM THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED! Your PELPRO stove has been tested and listed for mobile home installation. It may be installed in a mobile home as a "Free Standing Stove", a "Hearth Stove", or as an "In Insert" installed in an existing wood or coalburning fireplace or as an "Built –In Insert" installed with a mantel.
FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION VENTING INTO AN EXISTING CHIMNEY: CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE CHIMNEY AND FIREBOX ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF SOOT AND ASHES BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE TRANSFER OF SOOT INTO THE ROOM BY WAY OF THE CONVECTION FAN. The PELPRO Insert may be installed in a masonry or factory built fireplace as shown in Figure 25 & 26 INSTALLING SOLID-FUEL INSERTS INTO FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES: The insert must be tested and meet the requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.
FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION … CONTINUED When installing into a masonry chimney, it is recommended that the exhaust vent be extended to the top of the chimney as shown to the lower right. However, if the vent pipe does not extend to the top of the chimney, the pipe must extend a minimum of 18” above the damper. You must seal the damper area with a steel plate when using the direct connection method.
BUILT-IN INSERT INSTALLATION CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK VENT OPENING The PELPRO Insert may be framed directly into a wall as either a horizontal or vertical vent installation see (figure 27, 28). The exhaust installation requirements are the same as for a freestanding stove. Refer to “Installing your Freestanding Stove” for information concerning installation and proper hook-up of the exhaust. NOTE: Built-In Installations require Enclosure Kit #ACI-3HZ Horizontal Vent or #ACI-3VL Vertical Vent.
BUILT-IN INSERT INSTALLATION . . . CON’T PELLET VENT MUST MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 3” CLEARANCE TO ANY COMBUSTIBLE (INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER). DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR STOVE. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
OPERATING YOUR STOVE The operations and maintenance of your PELPRO stove are unique and should not be considered to be like a wood, coal stove, gas, electric, propane or oil heater. Cautions: Do not try to operate your stove with viewing or ash pan doors open. Pellets will not feed under these circumstances and a safety concern may arise from sparks or fumes entering room. Burn only pellet fuel that complies with PFI standards.
LIGHTING YOUR STOVE Before lighting a fire check to ensure the Burn Grate is clean and adjusted and the Ash Tray is not full. For safety reasons use extra caution when lighting a stove that is HOT! Lighting stove manually (No Igniter) In the NON-Thermostat Mode Lighting stove with Auto-Ignitor In the NON-Thermostat Mode 1. Push firmly on the FEED RATE or START touch pad.
THE CONTROLS Basic Overview The AcuTron II or III digital control board was designed to give you flexibility on how you want to operate your stove. The AcuTron can be operated as a MANUAL control or by a THERMOSTAT. When operating in the Thermostat option, you can also choose to run your appliance in the ON/OFF mode or the LOW/HIGH mode. The START or FEED RATE touch pad allows electricity to flow to your stove's electrical components for 15 minutes.
THE CONTROLS … CONTINUED TRIM POTS (Fine Tune Adjustments)– Factory Settings The COMBUSTION FAN (FAN), HI (4) and LO (1) FEED RATE trim pots have been preset at the factory, but may need to be adjusted onsite after your installation is complete. Due to different installation setups, length and size of venting, and pellet fuel quality, the preset from the factory will not always be correct. These settings will accommodate virtually all wood pellet fuels.
PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT TIPS Quality care and quality pellets will help your stove operate at its peak efficiency. Consider: If any fines are noticed in the pellets or in the hopper, you may wish to screen the pellets. Periodically check the hopper to make sure there are no fines or pellets building up in the corners of the sloping sides. Clean and polish the hopper as needed. Be diligent in performing your CLEANING and MAINTENANCE requirements.
Wall Thermostat (option) OPERATION Your pellet appliance is capable of running in an automatic mode with the use of a wall thermostat. The “AcuTron” gives you a choice, “ON / OFF on Demand” or “LOW / HIGH”. The ON / OFF mode automatically turns the heater On and will Shut Off on demand. The LOW / HIGH mode will keep your heater active and cycle between #1 (LOW) setting and your selected (HIGH) setting.
INITIAL APPLIANCE BURN SETUP IT IS CRITICAL FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE THAT THE BURN GRATE, AIR INLET DAMPER, COMBUSTION FAN SPEED, AND 1 & 4 FUEL RATE BE SET CORRECTLY! A HIGH QUALITY FIRE should burn with a brisk, yellow flame. A flame exhibiting a lazy, orange or sooty characteristic is a poor quality and inefficient flame. A poor flame produces less heat, increases sooting and may cause a smoky exhaust. If a poor flame exists for any period of time, clean your stove and exhaust system.
PELLET FUEL The performance of your pellet appliance is greatly affected by the type and quality of wood pellets burned. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differ, so will the performance and heat output of your appliance. PELLET QUALITY Your PELPRO stove, with its standard “E Z Clean Grate”, is designed to burn APFI/FFI, "Premium" or "Standard" quality wood pellets.
ASH AND CLINKERS …. CONTINUED CLINKERS are those solid, glassy or porous accumulations that may result from burning some types of wood pellets. Clinkers are formed in the bottom of the burn grate and if left undisturbed will accumulate and shut off the combustion air. As clinkers grow and shut off combustion air the fire becomes orange/brown and lazy. Pellets may build up in the burn grate. The firebox and window becomes sooty. Exhaust gases may become smoky.
CLEANING YOUR EZ–CLEAN GRATE To clean the grate, pull rod on front of stove back and forth a few times, once or twice per day. IMPORTANT: Be sure you PUSH the rod in fully for normal operation. INSERTING, REMOVING & ADJUSTING THE BURN GRATE The burn grate top, (G), must fit and seal firmly on the upper lips, (H), of the burn box, (A).
REQUIRED ROUTINE CLEANING Proper care of your PELPRO 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 the fire. While becoming acquainted with your new stove and the types of local pellets, inspect your BURN GRATE, BURN POT, HEAT TUBES, ASH PIT, and WINDOW daily and clean until a pattern of cleaning requirement is determined.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SOOT - FLY ASH: The by products of combustion contain small particles of fly ash. Fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of flue gases. Incomplete combustion, (such as during startup) shutdown or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some sort of soot formation which will collect in the exhaust system. Because of this it is important that the exhaust system be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to determine if cleaning is needed.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE … CONTINUED INSPECT AND CLEAN THE CHIMNEY: [ELECTRICAL CORD UNPLUGGED] Under some conditions fly ash build up in the chimney system may occur rapidly. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Proper cleaning, maintenance and the use of quality pellets will prevent the more common stove operational problems. However, when your stove is simply operating poorly or not at all, the following trouble shooting tips may be helpful. WARNING: Disconnect the electrical cord prior to opening the sides of your stove for any inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service work. NEVER perform any inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service on a HOT STOVE. PROBLEM SOLUTION Orange, lazy flame.
