EPA Certification:

This heater meets the 2020 U.S. Evironmental Protection agency's PM limits using Premium wood pellets. 

EPA Certified Emissions: 

0.69g/hr 

 

LHV Tested Efficiency (1): 

79.6%

Input: 

   Aprox. 10,000Btu to 38,000 (Depending on fuel type)

(1) Weighted Average Lower Heating Value (LHV) efficiency as tested using CSA B415 Performance testing of solid-fuel-burning 
heating appliances. LHV assumes the moisture is already in a vapour state so there is no loss of energy

(2) Weighted Average Higher Heating Value (HHV) efficiency as tested using CSA B415 Performance testing of solid-fuel-burning 
heating appliances. HHV includes the energy required to vaporize the water in the fuel

(3) The range of BTU outputs is based on efficiency using CSA B415 Performance testing of solid-fuel-burning heating appliances 
and burn rates from the EPA tests

This wood pellet heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn that must not be altered. It is against 
federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this heater in a manner inconsistant with 
operating instructions in this manual.

Electrical:

120 volts, 60 Hz.
4.3 Amps - Peak
2.5 Amps - Normal operating.

Warning:
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock 
 hazard and should be plugged  directly into a properly  grounded three-prong, 120 volt, 60 Hz 
 receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. Do not route power cord under 
or in front of appliance. The power supply cord must be routed to avoid contact with any of the hot or 
sharp exterior surface areas of the stove. 

Electrical Generator Operation:

The use of a surge protected power bar is recommended to ensure the stove’s electrical components are 
not damaged due to a surge in the electrical supply or lighning strike.

Your True North TN40 Insert stove may be able to operate with power from a portable generator. However, 
the generator’s electrical regulator may not be compatible with the stove’s electronics. The higher the qual-
ity of the generator, (smoother the output sine wave) the greater the chance that it is compatible with the 
stove.
