A. Design, Installation & Location
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic
flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and
chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and
floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. If
you are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance
where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed
chimney through the ceiling and roof.
Check with your local building code agency before you
begin your installation. Be sure local building codes do not
supersede UL specifications and always obtain a building
permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be
unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during
installation, please contact your local dealer.
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the
designated air space clearance around the chimney. This
space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of
your home to ensure your safety. They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,
and be sure to maintain regularly.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before

B. Venting Termination Requirements
A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be
vented vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all listed pellet vent. If using
the 3 inch (76mm) vertical top vent adapter Kit or the 3
to 6 inch (76-152mm) top vent offset adapter, use listed
double wall flue connector. A Quadra-Fire outside air kit
must be used with manufactured home installations.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical top vent
adapter kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) top vent
offset Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall flue
connector or listed double wall flue connector to Class
A listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting
national and/or local codes for solid fuel appliances.
Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
1. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly
through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which
will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting
into the home during a power outage. It will also keep
exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing
people or shrubs to high temperatures. The safest and
preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically
4. Install vent at clearances specified by the
vent manufacturer.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least 3 screws through each joint.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever
possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone
(500°F [260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled field corn, you must use
approved venting specifically designed for corn. Follow
the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
• Only LISTED venting components may be
• NO OTHER vent components may be used.
Substitute or damaged vent components may
impair safe operation.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade
should be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible
material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be
lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 84 inches (2134mm) minimum.
5. Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if
touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffits.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
C. Equivalent Feet of Pipe
The table below can help you calculate the equivalent feet
of pipe which is a method used to determine pellet vent size.
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer
to the owner’s information manual provided with this appliance. For assistance or additional information consult a
qualified installer, service agency or your dealer.
Example of 3 Elbow-Rear Vent Termination Calculaton
90o Elbow or Tee
Total Equivalent Feet
Note: This is a generic example and is not
intended to represent any specific fuel type.
D. Pipe Selection Chart
The chart will help you in determining proper
venting size according to the equivalent feet of
pipe calculated above and the altitude above sea
level of this installation. See Figure 11.2.
Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on
the vertical left side of the chart. Move to the
right horizontally on the chart until you reach
your altitude above sea level.
If you fall below the diagonal line, 3 or 4 inch (76
to 102mm) pipe may be used. If it is anywhere
above the diagonal line, a 4 inch (102mm) diameter pipe is required.
The chart reveals that a 90° elbow is 5 times as
restrictive to the flow of exhaust gases under
positive pressure as 1 foot of horizontal pipe, and
a foot of horizontal pipe is twice as restrictive as
a foot of vertical pipe.
Do NOT pack insulation or other
combustibles between firestops.
• ALWAYS maintain specified clearances
around venting and firestop systems.

J. Thermostat Installation
To install door:
A 12 volt AC thermostat is required to operate this pellet
appliance. You may use the included wall mount thermostat or purchase an optional programmable thermostat
or remote control. It is equipped with an adjustable
heat anticipator. The current rating is .05 amps. The
anticipator needs to be adjusted to the lowest setting
When mounting a thermostat on a wall, be sure to follow
your thermostat installation instructions carefully.
NOTE: Thermostat must be mounted level for
accurate readings. The thermostat should be
mounted on an inside wall and not in direct line
with the appliance convection air.
NOTE: If the thermostat is located too close to the
appliance, you may need to set the temperature
setting slightly higher to maintain the desired

A. Fuel Size And Material
B. General Operating Information
1. Wood Pellets
Fuel pellets are made from sawdust or wood by-products. If the
source material is hardwood, they can have a higher mineral
content, creating more ash. Fuels containing bark will also have
higher ash content. Minerals and other noncombustible materials
such as sand will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called
a clinker when heated to the extreme temperatures our firepot
reaches. This is what forms clinkers in the bottom of the firepot.
Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. That is
why some fuels produce more clinkers than others. Pellets are
manufactured in either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) diameter and
should be no more than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) in length. Pellet
lengths may even vary by lot from the same manufacturer which
is why the feed rate may need to be adjusted occasionally. If you
burn pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) you may have
an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.
The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the
thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically
light and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature
and the thermostat is satisfied, the red call light will go off
and the appliance will shut down.
Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. We recommend using
premium grade fuel with ash content less than 1%. Even in some
fuel labeled “premium” ash content can vary from bag to bag and
possibly exceed 1%. High ash fuel, or lack of maintenance, can
cause the firepot to fill up and thus create a potential for smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fires.
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content takes
heat from the fuel and tends to cool the appliance, robbing heat
from your home. Damp pellet fuel can clog the feed system.
2. Heat Output Controls
This appliance is equipped with a heat output control
switch that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium
and high. The appliance will turn on and off as the
thermostat demands. When the thermostat calls for heat,
the appliance will start up on the high setting for the first 4
minutes and 15 seconds, then automatically switch to the
burn rate for which it is set. If the appliance is set at one
of the lower settings, it will run quieter but take longer to
heat up an area than if it were set at a higher burn rate.
Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm enough
to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off.
3. Fan Speed Switch
This switch will adjust the speed of the room distribution air
fan or convection blower on all three settings. This means
you have six different blower speeds available as there is
a high and low on each setting.
possible. Buying large quantities of fuel at once will greatly
reduce the number of times the feed adjustments will need to be
made. However, we do recommend trying various brands before
purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.
High ash fuels, or lack of maintenance,
can cause the firepot to fill with ash
and clinker. If the firepot fills to the top,
immediately shut down the unit and clean.
Failure to do so could result in smoking,
2. Shelled Field Corn
Extensive factory and field testing has demonstrated shelled
field corn to be an efficient and very economical fuel. We
recommend the use of a 50-50 blend of corn and wood pellets.
The only change in operation is that the feed rate may require
a slight adjustment. The BTU output of the appliance varies
slightly compared to pellets, depending on the quality of the
corn used. In cases where it is acceptable for the appliance to
run full time, 100% corn will work after the fire has been started
using wood pellets.
Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s
Do NOT use gasoline, 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
C. Before Your First Fire
F. Fire Characteristics
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and
thermostat installation instructions.
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control switch set
on “high” has a short active flame pattern that extends out of
the firepot approximately 4 to 6 inches (102 to 152mm). If
the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done by
sliding the fuel adjustment control rod down, which will reduce
the feed. If the fire is not 4 to 6 inches (102 to 152mm) tall,
slide the fuel adjustment control rod up to increase the feed.
A medium and low setting will give a shorter flame. The flame
will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.
2. Double check that the ash drawer and firebox are
3. Check the position of the thermocouple, located above
the firepot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately
3/4 inch (19mm) into the firepot.
4. Close the front door.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: The tip of the thermocouple must
be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple
D. Fuel Adjustment Rod
The set screw is located at the bottom of the hopper and set
loose at the factory so the fuel adjustment control rod will slide
up and down by only loosening the thumb screw at the top.
See Figure 23.1. Do not re-tighten bottom set screw.
E. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this
appliance, except for corn. At this time, fill the hopper
with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug
the power cord into nearby outlet.
G. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should
be adequate for most fuels. However, if the flame height is
too high or too low, you will need to adjust the feed rate. Wait
until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes before
making your adjustments and allow 15 minutes for feed
adjustment to take effect.
1. Loosen the thumb screw. Figure 23.1
2. Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards the "+"
symbol to increase the feed rate and flame height or
towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate and
3. Re-tighten the thumb screw.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 10
minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for
heat. This is normal.
3. Locate the heat output control switch mounted on the
upper right corner of the right side panel. Switch it to
the high setting by pushing the top of the switch in, then
adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. The red call
light located on the upper right corner of the right side
panel will be on. This indicates the thermostat is calling
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset
button every two minutes until pellets start to drop into
the firepot, then press button 1 more time. This will fill the
feed system and allow the appliance to begin dropping
pellets. The appliance will continue to run as long as the
thermostat is calling for heat.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let the it burn for
approximately 15 minutes, then set the thermostat to the
desired room temperature. Adjust the heat output control
switch to the desired setting.
H. Ignition Cycles
Do NOT operate appliance:
• With appliance door open.
• Firepot floor open.
• Cleaning slide plates open.
Do NOT store fuel:
• Closer than required clearances to combustibles to appliance
• Within space required for loading or ash
1. During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some
smoke in the firebox. The smoke will stop once the
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after
your appliance has reached the set temperature on
the “high” setting. This blower transfers heat from your
appliance into the room, and will continue to run after
the thermostat has stopped calling for heat until the
appliance has cooled down.
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut
itself down. When this happens, the red call light will
be on. To restart it, fill the hopper and press the reset
button. (See Figure 22.1, page 22). When you press
the reset button the red call light will go out. Release
the button and the light will come back on. You should
see a fire shortly. If not, follow the instructions on page
23, of “Starting Your First Fire”.

1. Metallic noise.
1. Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as
it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not
affect the operation or longevity of your insert.
2. Ash buildup on glass.
2. This is normal. Clean the glass.
3. Glass has turned dirty.
3. Excessive build up of ash. The lower burn settings will
produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce
less. The more it burns on low the more frequent cleaning of the glass is required.
4. Fire has tall flames with black tails and is lazy.
4. The feed rate needs to be reduced or the firepot needs
cleaning. Heat exchanger of exhaust blower needs
5. Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash. 5. Either the firepot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
start-up and not enough air. Close down feed rate 1/4
inch at a time until this no longer happens.
6. Large flame at start-up.
6. This is normal. Flame will settle down once the fire is

Maintaining & Servicing Your Appliance
3. Cleaning Firepot with Cleaning Rod & Firepot
Scraper (Cont’d)
A. Proper Shutdown Procedure
Shock and Smoke Hazard
• Turn down thermostat, let appliance completely
cool and exhaust blower must be off. Now you
can unplug appliance before servicing.
• Smoke spillage into room can occur if appliance
is not cool before unplugging.
• Risk of shock if appliance not unplugged before
servicing appliance.
B. General Maintenance
b.Pull firepot cleaning rod OUT a couple of times to help
shake debris loose. If rod is hard to pull, it may be
necessary to use your firepot scraper to chip away
material that has built up on the bottom plate of the
firepot and to push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers
may have to be removed from the top of the firepot.
c.The firepot floor plate must be fully closed when
4. Cleaning Ash Drawer
The ash drawer is located in the pedestal. To remove
and empty the ash drawer, open both the left and right
side pedestal access doors. They are hinged in the back
and held closed magnetically. Pull out on the back of the
over-center style latch and then pivot the holding rod out
of the drawer notch on both sides. Pull the ash drawer
straight out of the pedestal and empty into a metal or
non-combustible container. Place the container in a
safe area, away from combustible materials. Re-install
the ash drawer and check that both latches are secure
Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate how
often you have to clean your firepot. If the fuel you are burning
has a high dirt or ash content or you are burning shelled field
corn, it may be necessary to clean the firepot more than once
a day. Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the firepot. A
clinker is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance
is heated to 2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like. See
“C” in this section for more details on fuels with high ash
5. Ash Removal from Firebox
Frequency: Weekly or as needed
a.There must not be any hot ashes in the firebox during
cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool. The
firebox ash should be removed every time the firepot
is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the ash in the firebox
will help slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust
blower and vent system.
Figure 26.1 - Large Clinker
2. Cleaning Firepot with Cleaning Rod & Firepot
Frequency: Daily or more often as needed
a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool
NOTE: Remove optional log set if installed.
b.Plug in your appliance, if unplugged, and turn the
thermostat on and immediately shut it off to start the
exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull fly ash out
the exhaust instead of into the room.
• NEVER pull firepot cleaning rod when appliance is operating. Hot pellets may fall into
ashpan and may start a fire or you may experience mis-starts due to lack of vacuum.
• Ashes should be placed in metal container
with tight fitting lid.
• Ashes should be retained in closed container

d. This ash is deposited in the same ash drawer as the
firepot debris. The ash drawer should be emptied every
time you clean the firebox. Remember to place the ash
and debris into a metal or non-combustible container.
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
A more thorough cleaning is needed to remove the excess
ash that is left behind from the use of the cleaning rods
for the heat exchanger tubes. Open the right side curtain
and the right pedestal access door. Remove 4 screws and
remove the exhaust clean-out plate and thoroughly vacuum
out the excess ash.
7. Disposal of Ashes

designed for solid fuel appliance cleaning.
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have been
thoroughly cooled.
Heat exchanger cleaning rods may be warm
to the touch. For safety purposes wear
Do not pull heat exchanger cleaning rods
while appliance is operating.
8. Cleaning Heat Exchanger Chambers
The amount of ash buildup in the firepot will be a good
guide to determine how often you should clean the heat
a. Allow the appliance to completely cool down before
pulling the cleaning rods. Turn the thermostat on and
then immediately off to start the exhaust blower on its
cycle time. It will pull fly ash out the exhaust instead
of into the room. Lift the stove top up from the front to
access the 2 cleaning rods. See Figure 29.2.
b. Locate the 2 rods along bottom edge of the heat
exchanger tubes. Lift the stove top up by the front.
Both rods are bent at a 90° angle for easy handling.
c.To clean, pull the rods straight out unit it stops,

By: Qualified Service Technician/Homeowner
The products of combustion will contain small particles
of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. At
start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there
is a shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it
will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the
exhaust venting system.
The venting system may need to be cleaned at least
once a year or more often depending upon the quality
of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sections. Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal
11. Cleaning the Hopper
Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to
clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up. A combination of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the
amount of fuel supply to the firepot. This can result in
nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the
appliance to completely cool down and then unplug it.
b Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
16. Cleaning the Top Vent Adapter
The appliance must be in complete shutdown and the
exhaust blower should be off. Allow the appliance to
completely cool down.
Open the clean-out cover. See Figure 28.1.
Sweep out any ash build-up.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
12. Cleaning Exhaust Blower - Requires No Lubrication
By: Quality Service Technician/Homeowner
a. Locate the blower on the left side of the appliance by
opening both the left side curtain and the left pedestal
access door. To clean the impeller it is easier to access
through the right side curtain.
C. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
Pellets Back Up
Firepot Overfills
Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create
conditions that make the firepot fill quickly with ashes and
clinkers. This condition makes the appliance susceptible to
overfilling the firepot with pellets which may result in smoking, sooting and possible hopper fires. Figure 31.1 shows an
example where the firepot overfills, pellets back up into the
feed tube and ash has accumulated in the firebox. Figure
31.2 illustrates an inefficient and non-economical method of
burning of fuel caused by poor quality pellet fuel. Figure 31.3
is showing the correct flame size when good quality, premium
pellet fuel is burned.
Ash Build Up in Firebox
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the firepot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
Follow the detailed instructions found in this section for each
