INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily
injury or even death.
Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any informa
-
tion on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.
To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly
installed by adhering to the installation instructions. A Greenfire dealer will
be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local
building codes and installation restrictions.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of the home when passing a
vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs.
The stove's exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber
pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure. It is very important to
ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan and
viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of
the pellet stove.
Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recom
-
mended to ensure proper combustion air is admitted to the combustion
chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the
slider damper located on the left side of the stove. Refer to "Slider/Damper
Set-up" section. When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be
electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the home and bolted to the
floor. Make sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained
and all construction meets local building codes.
Minor soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under
incorrect conditions such as an extremely rich burn (black tipped, lazy
orange flames).
If you have any questions with regard to your stove or the above-mentioned
information, please feel free to contact your local dealer for further clari-
fication and comments.
SAFETY WARNINGS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION:
Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha
or engine oil.
Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture
away. Contact may cause skin burns.
SOOT:
Operation of the stove with insufficient combustion air will result in
the formation of soot which will collect on the glass, the heat exchanger,
the exhaust vent system, and may stain the outside of the house. This is
a dangerous situation and is inefficient. Frequently check your stove and
adjust the slider/damper as needed to ensure proper combustion. See
"Slider/Damper Setting".
CLEANING:
There will be some build up of fly ash and small amounts of
creosote in the exhaust. This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel
used and the operation of the stove. It is advisable to inspect and clean
the exhaust vent semi-annually or every two tons of pellets.
ELECTRICAL
: The use of a surge protected power bar is recommended.
The unit must be grounded. The grounded electrical cord should be con-
nected to a standard 115 volts (4.6 Amps), 60 hertz electrical outlet. Be
careful that the electrical cord is not trapped under the appliance and that
it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges and also must be accessible.
If this power cord should become damaged, a replacement power cord
must be purchased from a Greenfire dealer. This unit's maximum power
requirement is 520 watts.
GLASS
: Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not
attempt to operate the stove with broken glass. The stove uses ceramic
glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from a Greenfire dealer.
Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in
operation or if glass is hot.
To clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas
or wood stove glass cleaner, or take a damp paper towel and dip into the
fly ash. This is a very mild abrasive and will not damage the glass.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up”
a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while
it is in use.
SMOKE DETECTOR:
Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained
in the structure when installing and operating a pellet burning appliance.
OPERATION:
The ash pan and door must be closed securely for proper
and safe operation of the pellet stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door
are checked and replaced when necessary.
INSTALLATION:
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home
when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs. It is recommended
that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any displacement.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING
SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
FRESH AIR
: Outside Fresh Air connection is optional. Must be connected
to all units installed in Mobile and “Air Tight Homes” (R2000) or where
required by local codes. Consider all large air moving devices when install-
ing your unit and provide room air accordingly. Limited air for combustion
may result in poor performance, smoking and other side effects of poor
combustion.
If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the abovementioned
information, please feel free to contact your Greenfire dealer for further
clarification and comments.
