NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
shut down
Normal - To turn the stove off, turn the heat selector knob to
off. The fans will continue to operate until the control board
completes the shut down cycle.
Power Outage - If the stove loses electrical power for less
than 10 seconds it will continue to operate. If the power
loss is greater than 10 seconds, the stove will go into the
ignition sequence and normal operation when the power
is restored. If the stove is connected to a thermostat, the
stove will not start the ignition sequence until the thermostat
calls for heat.
paint curing
This stove has been painted with StoveBright high tempera-
ture metallic paint. It leaves the factory dry to the touch,
but completes the curing process as the stove is used. The
paint will cure during the first few times the stove is burned.
Also some parts of the appliance may be lightly coated with
machining oil. Ventilate the house during these first firings
as the paint and oil give off carbon dioxide and unpleas
-
ant odors. It is recommended that persons sensitive to an
imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the stove during
the curing process.
convection bLower operation
Your Winslow™ PS40 stove comes equipped with a tem-
perature activated convection blower that extracts heat from
the stove. After the stove warms up, a heat activated switch
will turn the fan on. The speed of the fan varies with the burn
rate of the stove. The fan will continue to extract heat after
the stove shuts off and until it is cooled down.
operating sounds
As the Winslow PS40 stove is burning, a number of normal
operational sounds may be heard. Pellets can be heard sliding
down the auger tube and into the burn pot. Also, the motor
powering the auger can be heard as the control board calls
for pellets. Occasionally a loud noise can be heard as the
auger cuts a pellet in half. When the blowers come on, the
sound of rushing air may be heard. The lower the burn rate
the slower the fan operates. Hourly, the combustion fan will
blow at a high speed to clean ash from the burn pot.
peLLet FueL
Pellet fuel is made from sawdust and scrap wood from many
different species of wood. Pellets are either 1/4” or 5/16”
in diameter and vary in length (see Fuel Specifications on
page 3). The Winslow PS40 stove will burn either diameter
pellets. Pellets made from hardwoods contain more ash than
those made from softwoods. Minerals from ash and sand in
the pellets form clinkers under the extreme temperatures in
the burn pot. Try burning various brands of pellets until you
find one that burns with minimum ash and clinkers.
Once you find a pellet brand that burns well, continue using
this brand. High ash fuel increases the frequency of stove
cleaning. Fuel with an excessive moisture content may jam
the auger assembly.
corn FueL
Shelled corn can be burned in the Winslow PS40 stove when
it is mixed with wood pellet fuel (see Fuel Specifications on
page 3). The mixture can contain a maximum of 50 percent
corn. Burning corn may create more ash than wood pellets
and may necessitate the need to clean the burn pot and
glass more frequently.
cautions
INSTALLATION AND REPAIR SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED
BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO SERVICE THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF.
Avoid overfiring the stove - do not hand feed pellets to
the appliance.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or fresh
up a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away
from the heater while it is in use.
For your safety, do not install or operate your Winslow PS40
stove without first reading and understanding this manual.
Any installation or operation of the appliance deviating
from that which is stated in this instruction manual WILL
void the warranty and may be hazardous.
Due to high temperatures, the stove should be located
out of traffic areas and away from furniture and draper-
ies. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should
be carefully supervised when they are in the same room
as the Winslow PS40 stove. Clothing or any other flam
-
mable material should not be placed on or near the stove.
Any grill, panel, or glass removed for service MUST be
replaced prior to operating the stove.
