CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
Important: Always use an approved 3” (76mm) PL type vent system
which is approved for venting while burning corn.
Using a different
size vent will result in poor performance or eventual malfunction of
your appliance which is not covered under warranty. Never exceed 3"
diameter pipe.
Venting System
In order to get optimum performance from your appliance a good venting
system and positive air supply is essential.
Do not install a fl ue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.
Do not connect this unit to a chimney fl ue serving another appliance.
Type Of Chimney
Since this is a BioEnergy stove, it is necessary to use only venting rec-
ommended and approved for the burning of corn or other agricultural
fuels. Regular pellet vent cannot withstand the continued use of these
BioEnergy fuels and will deteriorate over time. Using recommended corn
vent will prolong the lifetime of your system.
Never use a non-approved pipe for the venting system. i.e. Dryer vent,
"B" vent for gas vent, PVC/plastic pipe or single wall chimney system.
It is very important to take note that for horizontal venting that the vent
length shall not exceed 48" (1219mm) chimney on an installation.
Always vent exhaust air to the outside atmosphere and never into enclosed
spaces, i.e. garage, car port etc. Vent systems can become hot to touch,
warn children of them to avoid the risk of burns.
Mobile Home Installation
The GF45 model is approved for installation in a mobile home of type
(UM) 84-HUD. The outside air connection must always go directly to the
atmosphere outside the building (refer to Diagram 2 in "Unit Dimensions"
section).
High Elevation
High altitude (6000' / 1828m and more) reduces the air velocity which
is drawn into the burn-pot. To help increase the air velocity, the chimney
must have a minimum of 6' (1.82m) of vertical vent outside the house
to help create a natural draught.
Negative Pressure In The House
The use of a bathroom fan, dryer, cooking hood fan, etc. can cause
negative pressure, especially in new air tight homes. Combined these
fans consume an average of 200 cfm, which is more powerful than the
combustion fan on the GF45, creating negative pressure around the stove.
To overcome this negative pressure, the GF45 requires the installation
of outside air from atmosphere directly to the 1" connector on the back
of the stove. (refer to Diagram 2 in "Unit Dimensions" section).
Pressure Reducer Plate
There are 2 Pressure Reducer Plates, one with a 1-1/4” and one with a
1-5/8" opening. These are sometimes needed in longer chimney runs or
in high altitude installations. The Pressure Reducer Plate is designed to
slow down the draft in your chimney in such situations.
1. Remove the 4 nuts & washers from the bolts from the combustion
exhaust outlet.
2. Install the desire pressure reducer plate to the combustion exhaust
outlet, ensuring that gaskets are replaced on both sides of the pressure
reducer plate. One gasket is placed on each side of the pressure
reducer plate.
3. Reverse step 1.
NOTE: Only 1 of the pressure reducer plates is used (not both). It
is recommended to try the reducer plate with the 1-5/8" opening
fi rst.
INSTALLATION
FIRST FIRE
The FIRST FIRE in your stove is part of the paint curing process. To
ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn
your fi replace for at least four (4) hours the fi rst time you use it with the
fan on.
When fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing
of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open a few
windows to ventilate the room for a couple of hours. The glass may
require cleaning.
NOTE: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal
and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS
STILL
HOT !
OUTSIDE AIR KIT INSTALLATION
Remove the outside air kit package from the ash pan. The outside air kit
includes; 2 - 12" pipes, 2 - couplings and 1 - 90 degree elbow.
1) Secure the already attached coupling with pipe to the outside air
intake pipe.
2) Secure the other coupling with pipe to the pipe from step 1.
3) Secure the 90 degree elbow to the pipe from step 2. Ensure that the
elbow is pointed down and not up.
