This manual describes the installation and operation of the Hotblast, 1551E wood heater. This heater meets
the 2016 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15, 2016. Under
specific EPA test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at a rate of 18,850 – 56,000 BTU/hr. This
heater achieved a particulate emissions rate of 0.39 lb/mmBtu when tested to method CSA B415.1-10 (*and an
overall efficiency of 62.6 %). The maximum overall heat output of this heater was tested to be 89,000 Btu/hr.
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
The operation of this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the owner’s manual will void you warranty and
