Thank you for purchasing the ECO-65 pellet stove. You are now prepared to burn pellet in
the most efficient, convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most efficient and most
enjoyable performance from your stove, you must do three things: 1) Install it properly; 2)
Operate it correctly; and 3) Maintain it regularly. The purpose of this manual is to help you do
all three.
PLEASE read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning
room heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage,
bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
Your Drolet ECO-65 has been independently tested to ASTM E1509-04 Standard
Specification for Room Heaters, Pellet Fuel Burning Type, UL 1482-2010 and ULC-S627-00
Standard for Solid Fuel Room Heaters, Oregon Administrative Rules for Mobile Homes (814-
23-900 through 814-23-909) and Installation as a Stove Heater.
This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
and CSA-C22.1.
The bottom-feed burner system of this appliance is designed and tested specifically for use
only with four different types of pellets: standard wood pellets, 100% bark pellets,
sawdust/hay mix pellets, and switch grass pellets. This appliance is designed for residential
installation according to current national and local building codes as a freestanding room
heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater. An outside combustion air source is
mandatory.
The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower
systems and fuel feed system and must not be burned with any type of coal.
This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the fire in order to
burn free of smoke and soot. Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously
degrade its performance and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window.
For best operation, the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the calorific
value approximately 8,200 BTU/LB. Others fuels with a high ash content will require a higher
levels of maintenance and cleaning.
Commercial and industrial installations of the Drolet ECO-65 should not be used since
operational control is often not well managed in these settings.
