HOW YOUR STOVE WORKS
The operations and maintenance of your VULCAN “V” SERIES stove are unique and should not be
considered to be like a wood, coal stove, gas, electric, propane or oil heater.
Cautions:
Do not try to operate your stove with viewing door open. Pellets will not feed under these
circumstances and a safety concern may arise from sparks or fumes entering room.
Burn only pellet fuel that complies with PFI standards. Burning other types of fuels may result in the
formation and leakage of Carbon Monoxide which if undetected can be deadly.
If you are not drawing combustion air from outside, care must be taken to allow for adequate air
make up, to avoid possible room air starvation when stove or other exhaust fans are in operation.
It is recommended that you install a high quality smoke detector in the room where stove is installed.
Care should be taken to make sure detector is in working order at all times.
Fuel in the form of wood pellets is stored in the hopper. An auger delivers the pellets to the burn grate. The fuel
rate, or heat output, is set by adjusting the feed rate touch pad, (settings 1 to 4). A fan provides combustion air to
the burn grate. The amount of combustion air in the burn grate is adjustable and automatically changes as the fuel
rate changes. The higher the fuel rate, the larger the amount of combustion air and visa versa. The fuel burns in
the burn grate, producing heat. Some heat radiates out the front of your stove. The majority of the heat passes
around the heat exchange tubes and air plenum around the firebox and is then moved into the room by the room air
fan. A small amount of heat must pass out the exhaust of your stove, along with gases, into the atmosphere.
Your stove's heat output can be adjusted from setting 1-4, through the FEED RATE touch
pad, to vary your heat output from Low to High. The room air fan can be manually adjusted
through the FAN SPEED to run faster or slower to correspond to the amount of heat being
produced. The room air fan is also on a limit switch, controlled to run on high when the
stove reaches higher temperatures and then resume the speed you had selected once it
cools to a lower temperature.
Your stove can run efficiently over extended periods of time and at different heat output
levels as long as the fuel supply is uninterrupted and timely cleaning and maintenance is
performed. An example of how improper cleaning effects operations is; the exhaust
pressure switch will shut the pellet supply off and your stove will shut off if the exhaust
system becomes plugged.
