CLEARANCES The HYBRID-35 has been tested and listed for installation in regular and mobile homes.(refer figure 1 & 2) FLOOR PROTECTION: minimum 6” in the front and 6” on each side. The stove must be placed on a continuous (grouted joints) non-combustible material such as ceramic tile, cement board, brick, 3/8” millboard or equivalent, or other approved or listed material suited for floor protection.
COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY For a mobile home installation the stove must be connected to an outside source of combustion air. A 3” inside diameter metallic pipe, either flexible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to figures 4, 5 & 6). A rodent guard (minimum 1/4” wire mesh) must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 5). All connections must be secured and airtight by either using the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or UL-181-AP foil tape.
FILTERS INSTALLATION AND CLEANING The two filters for your convection blowers are supplied with the owner’s manual. Although the filters are not mandatory, they are useful to prevent dust from being dispersed into the room where the stove is located. If you install the filters, please make sure that they are cleaned on a regular basis as per our recommended maintenance schedule. This is particularly critical if you have animals in your house, such as a dog or a cat.
EQUIVALENT VENT LENGHT (EVL) The longer the run of pipe in your installation, the more restriction there is in the system. Therefore, larger diameter pipe should be used for longer runs. • Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Length (EVL). • Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL.
B. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 17 – Venting through roof) NOTE: Follow Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. OPTION: To achieve a centered vertical installation, a 45º elbow and a clean-out tee can be used to offset the pipe from the exhaust outlet to the rear center of the stove. OPTION: Install Vent elbow in place of clean-out tee. Locate stove. Drop plumb bob to center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling.
VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE VERTICAL ROOF VENT 18" NOTE: Follow Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. 1. 3" Have the masonry chimney inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or installer to determine its structural integrity. 2. You must run a pipe from the stove outlet to 18 inches above the top of the chimney. 3. Install a blanking plate and the chimney pipe, and if used the outside air pipe, as shown in Figure 20. 4.
INSERT INSTALLATION The detailed instructions required to assemble the faceplate are supplied with the faceplate kit. INSERT INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE NOTE: Follow pipe manufacturer’s instructions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. FACEPLATE Have the masonry chimney inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or installer to determine its structural integrity. You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height from the hearth.
CLEARANCES COMBUSTIBLE SHELF 10 1/2" 11" 6" 7" ( FR FLOOR PROTECTION OM DO OR OP EN I 6" NG ) Figure 36 Clearances DOOR OVERLAY INSTALLATION In order to complete the assembly of your OSBURN HYBRID-35, you need to install the door overlay. 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws. Note: It is not necessary to remove the glass or any other component to install the overlay.
OPERATION DISPLAY BOARD PROPER FUEL THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those 1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and approximately 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building codes for which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties.
UNIT CONTROLS The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from the panel on the HYBRID-35. The control panel functions are as follows: Note: 1- To display the available functions, just touch the control board at any place 2- Select the desired function *The display will turn itself off after 2 minutes. MODE BUTTON • When the on-off button is pressed, the stove will automatically ignite. The heat level must be selected manually to adjust the stove’s heat output to the desired level.
COMBEXtm Your stove uses a unique patented technology called COMBEX. As opposed to most other pellet stoves, which use only an exhaust blower, your HYBRID-35 uses a motor on which are mounted two housings with impeller blades. One housing serves for combustion, and the other for exhaust. This is why we refer to the combustion/exhaust blower throughout this manual.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE Turning your OSBURN stove off is a matter of pressing on the control panel. The blowers will continue to operate until internal firebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level. The stove cannot restart before it has completely shut down. SAFETY FEATURES a. Your stove is equipped with a manual reset high temperature switch (also called heat sensor or heat switch). The switch has a reset button on its backside.
OPERATING THE STOVE USING A THERMOSTAT A thermostat will help you maintain a constant house temperature automatically. A millivolt or 24 Volt thermostat is required. A fixed wall mount or remote model can be used. THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION • • • Unplug the stove from the power outlet. Connect two thermostat wires to the terminal block located on the lower right side of the back of the stove. To do so, loosen the two screws and insert the wires in the terminals. Tighten the two screws.
MODES THERMOSTATIC MODE • To engage this mode, the thermostat icon must be pushed upon starting the stove. The heat setting is then selected using the “Heat Level” selector. When set in thermostatic mode, the stove will automatically run at the heat level selected until the set room temperature is reached. When that occurs, the stove will switch to heat setting #1 (lowest) until the thermostat calls for heat again. The convection blowers will also slow down to low speed.
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ THIS! a. If you notice a smoldering fire (burnpot full but no visible flame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in firebox, immediately TURN OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it. Do not open the door, change the damper setting or tamper with any controls on the stove. Wait until smoke inside the firebox clears and blowers shut down. Do as instructed in “PRE-START-UP CHECK” and “LIGHTHING PROCEDURE”, then attempt to restart the fire.
MAINTENANCE FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT. NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not become plugged. If so, clean thoroughly. BAFFLE ASH REMOVAL The HYBRID-35 stove has an ash drawer located under the firebox (not available for insert installation*). To remove ashes: a. Make sure fire is out and the firebox is cool. b. Open the door and remove the baffle from the firebox.
VACCUM USE If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes. Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage. CLEANING a. b. c. d. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your HYBRID-35 stove is designed with a built-in heat exchanger tube cleaner. This should be used weekly to remove accumulated ash on the tubes.
BLOWERS AND PRESSURE SWITCH PROBE PROBE CONNECTOR DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING UNIT. • • Blower Cleaning – Over a period of time, ashes or dust may collect on the blades of both the combustion/exhaust blower and convection blower. Periodically, the blowers should be cleaned as the ash and dust can impede performance. The combustion/exhaust blower can be accessed by opening the left, right, and back panels.

TROUBLESHOOTING When your stove acts abnormally, the first reaction is to get help. This guide may save you time and money by enabling you to resolve simple problems yourself. Problems can be caused by: 1) poor fuel; 2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You can usually solve problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems related to 3, 4 and 5.
STOVE SHUTS OFF AND SHOWS WARNING CODE “E” Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible) 1. The hopper is empty. Refill the hopper. 2. The burn pot holes are blocked. Remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly. 3. The air damper is too far open for a low feed setting. If burning on the low setting, you may need to close the damper all the way slide the air supply toward the minimum setting. 4.
STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE AND SHOWS WARNING CODE “L” Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Air damper open too far for ignition. Adjust the air supply toward the minimum setting for startup. In some situations, it may be necessary to have the damper completely closed for ignition to take place. After there is a flame, the damper can then be adjusted for the desired feed setting. 2. Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube. Remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly.
STOVE STOPS FEEDING PELLETS AND SHOWS WARNING CODE “H” Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. The L-250 automatic high temperature switches are located on the top and bottom of the auger housing They send a signal to the control board if the auger housing overheats. Wait until the stove cools down AND THEN INSPECT YOUR UNIT. Improper installation, poor maintenance, or a defective or missing component may be causing the stove to overheat. Reset the stove and restart it.
SMOKE SMELL COMING BACK INTO THE HOME Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Inspect all vent pipe connections. This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must be sealed and fastened in accordance with the pellet pipe manufacturer's instructions to ensure consistent performance and avoid smoke and ash spillage. 2. There is a leak in the vent pipe system. The gasket on the combustion/exhaust blower housing has gone bad.
