CAUTION: Operate this unit only with the fuel hopper lid closed. Failure to do so
may result in emission of products of combustion from the hopper under certain
conditions. Maintain hopper seal in good condition. The auger will be prevented
from operating by a hopper lid switch. Close lid immediately after filling hopper
with fuel.
INSTALLATION CHECK
Proper installation is essential for safety, effective Operation, Warranty Coverage,
Insurance requirements and to meet Local Building Codes. Installation Requirements are
described in the first section of this manual. Verify the installation is correct before firing
up the Element-P for the first time.
When burning a mixture of Pellets and Corn, care should be taken in how the venting
system is installed. The moisture content of the Corn should be 15% or less. This is much
higher than the moisture content of wood pellets and can result in condensation forming
in the venting system in certain installations. The chimney system should stay within the
warm envelope of the house as much as possible. Only penetrate the exterior of the home
where the exhaust system will terminate.
REMEMBER: Condensation from burning corn is detrimental to the venting
system. If burning a mixture of Pellets and Corn, only buy venting systems that are
warranted with burning corn.
PREVENTING CHIMNEY FIRES
Chimney fires can be prevented by properly operating the Element-P and by periodic
inspection and cleaning of the chimney. When wood is burned it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue associated with a slow burning fire.
As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
can result in an extremely hot chimney fire.
The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a
creosote build-up
has occurred. If a
significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm or more) it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Use of an appropriately sized chimney brush or the
services of a professional chimney sweep are recommended.
The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to prevent the system from getting
plugged with Fly ash
.
Clean the exhaust system if needed. Use of an appropriately sized chimney brush or the
Services of a Professional chimney sweep are recommended.
