(This can vary widely depending on pellet size, length, and diameter) EPA status: certified Burn rate: 1.3 lbs to 5.5 lbs per hour BTU range: 8,200 to 45,000 Electrical consumption: 3.5 Amps lighting cycle 2.5 Amps. continuous duty Control board fuses: Main: 7.
INSTALLATION 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 ¼” 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.
INSTALLATION Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) The longer the run of pipe in your installation, the greather the restriction there is in the system. Therefore, larger diameter pipe should be used. • Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Length (EVL). • Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL.
INSTALLATION Canada: Letter Min.
INSTALLATION A. HORIZONTALLY THROUGH WALL or 10) 9 (refer to Figure 7, 8, NOTE: Follow Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Position stove, adhering to clearances shown in Figures 1 & 2. 2. Locate position of hole in wall; directly behind stove exhaust vent (refer to figure 4). 3. Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials. 4. Install Vent wall thimble per Vent manufacturer’s instructions. 5.
INSTALLATION C. VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM As an alternative, 3” or 4” Vent can be run inside existing chimney to termination(Figure 11). This is the preferred method. Follow guidelines for equivalent vent length.
INSTALLATION D. 11 VERTICAL ROOF VENT VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE 6" NOTE: Follow Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Have the masonry chimney inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or installer to determine its structural condition. 2. You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height from the hearth. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height plus 18 inches. 3.
INSTALLATION OPTIONAL LOG SET INSTALLATION To install the optional log set, you first need to remove the four screws indicated on figure 14a. Keep the screws. Locate the two fixation brackets figure 14b that came with your owner’s manual. Fix the two brackets using the same screws you have removed.
INSTALLATION 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.
OPERATION PROPER FUEL THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those ¼” or 5/16” in diameter and not over 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.
OPERATION a. MODE SWITCH • When the mode switch is pressed, the stove will automatically ignite. If the manual mode is selected, the heat level must be selected manually to adjust the stove’s heat output to the desired level. If the thermostat mode is selected, the stove will automatically modulate between the lowest heat level and the heat level selected to keep the room temperature at the thermostat’s setting.
OPERATION IF THE STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools down. This will take a few minutes. After the stove’s components stop running, a warning message will appear . To restart, press the “RESET” button, refill the hopper , and press the “FUEL FEED” button Press the “MODE” button to start the unit on Manual or Thermostatic mode. until pellets begin to fall into the burn pot.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION OPERATING THE STOVE USING A THERMOSTAT A thermostat may help you maintain a constant house temperature automatically. A millivolt thermostat or 24 Volt thermostat is required. A fixed wall mount or hand held model can be used. The control panel can be set up two ways to operate your stove in thermostatic mode. THERMOSTAT WIRES TERMINAL THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION • • • Unplug the stove from the power outlet.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION (continued) • N.B.: It is possible to change the setting of your unit such that if the thermostat does not call for heat after 45 minutes, the unit will remain at the lowest heat setting (#1) but will not shut down (this is the PILOT ON mode). The stove will remain at the lowest heat level until the thermostat calls for heat again.
OPERATION 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. ASH REMOVAL Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container or ashes should be placed on a noncombustible surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal.
MAINTENANCE ACCESS TO CLEANING OUTLET VACCUM USE If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes. 21 BAFFLE LEFT SIDE PANEL OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER 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. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your BIO-45 MF stove is designed with a built-in heat exchanger tube cleaner.
MAINTENANCE CHIMNEY CLEANING a. b. c. Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue or a newly started fire or from a slowburning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire, which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE When your stove acts up, the first reaction is to call for help. This guide may save time and money by enabling you to solve simple problems yourself. Problems can be caused by to only five factors: 1) poor fuel; 2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You can usually solve those problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems relating to 3, 4 and 5. Refer to figures 26 - 28 to help locate indicated parts.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE STOVE SHUTS OFF AND DISPLAYS WARNING CODE Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible) 1. The hopper is out of pellets. Refill the hopper. 2. The air damper is open too much for the low feed setting. If the stove is on the low setting, you may need to close the damper all the way. Slide the air supply control toward the minimum setting. 3. The burn pot holes are blocked. Remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly. 4.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE AND APPEARS ON THE CONTROL BOARD Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Air damper open too far for ignition. Adjust the air supply to the minimum setting for startup. In some situations, it may be necessary to have the damper completely closed for ignition to take place. Once there is a flame, the damper can be adjusted to the desired feed setting. 2. Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 26 STOVE STOPS FEEDING PELLETS AND APPEARS ON THE CONTROL BOARD Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. One of the two L-250 automatic high temperature switches has been tripped.
