the controller). Use proper care with pellet fuel. Do not moisten or crush the pellets as this will affect the efficiency and
dust will collect on the door glass. Store pellets outside of clearance to combustible requirements and space required for
re-fueling and ash removal and in a dry place.
Do not use any other type of fuel, as this will void any warranties stated in this manual. The performance of your pellet
stove is greatly affected by the type and quality of wood pellets being burned. As the heat output of various quality wood
pellets differs, so will the performance and heat output of the pellet stove.
CAUTION: IT IS IMPORTANT TO SELECT AND USE ONLY PELLETS THAT ARE DRY, STORED IN A DRY,
CLIMATE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT AND FREE OF DIRT OR ANY IMPURITIES SUCH AS HIGH SALT
CONTENT. DIRTY FUEL WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE UNIT AND
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
The Pellet Fuel Institute (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of
pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Please use a recommended pellet type.
P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:
Fines (fine particles)......by weight: no more than 0.5% maximum thr
ough a 1/8” screen
Bulk Density..................40 pound per cubic foot minimum Siz
e: 1⁄4” to 5/16” diameter 1⁄2 to 11⁄2” long maximum
Ash Content.................0.5% maximum (True premium grade)..................3% maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content..........8% maximum
Heat Content................approximately 7,500-9,000 BTU per pound
Automatic Control Safety Features
The NC-30 has the following safety features:
A.
The stove has a high temperature sensor near the hopper. If the temperature reaches 200°F (92°C), the controller
will alarm and the auger will automatically stop. Once the stove is cool, the blowers will shut down. Toggle the rear power
switch to reset after determining the reason for the alarm.
B.
The auger motor will automatically stop if the hopper lid is opened (limit switch) or the combustion door or ash pan is
opened (vacuum switch will open) when the unit is running.
C.
If the power goes out, the unit will stop running. When the power comes back on the stove will automatically run the
exhaust blower if the unit is still hot until it drops below 125°F (52 °C).
Start-Up Procedure
Please adhere to the following instructions carefully. Be sure the hopper is clean and free from foreign materials before
filling and that there is power at the electrical outlet that will be used (a surge protector is recommended).
Make sure the door is properly closed and that the burn pot and fireboard is in place. Adjust to proper position if needed.
Fill the hopper with pellets. Maximum capacity is 40lbs. If empty, place a small amount of pellets into the burn pot by
hand, making sure the pellets cover the igniter hole. Never attempt to support pellets by use of a grate or any other
method. DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN. A fire in the ash pan may occur.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR
“FRESHEN UP”
A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE. DO
NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE
SKIN BURNS. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE
STOVE.
