INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Do not burn garbage or fl ammable fl uids such as gaso-
line, naptha or engine oil.
Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and
furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
SOOT: Operation of the stove with insuffi cient combustion air will result in
the formation of soot which will collect on the glass, the heat exchanger,
the exhaust vent system, and may stain the outside of the house. This is
a dangerous situation and is ineffi cient. Frequently check your stove and
adjust the slider/damper as needed to ensure proper combustion. See
"Slider/Damper Setting".
CLEANING: There will be some build up of fl y ash and small amounts of
creosote in the exhaust. This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel
used and the operation of the stove. It is advisable to inspect and clean
the exhaust vent semi-annually or every two tons of pellets.
SAFETY WARNINGS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Failure to follow these instructions may result
in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Contact your local building or fi re offi cial to obtain a permit and any
information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for
your area.
To prevent the possibility of a fi re, ensure that the appliance is properly
installed by adhering to the installation instructions. A Greenfi re dealer will
be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local
building codes and installation restrictions.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of the home when passing a
vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs.
The stove's exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber
pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure. It is very important to
ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan and
viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of
the pellet stove.
Do not burn with insuffi cient combustion air. A periodic check is recom-
mended to ensure proper combustion air is admitted to the combustion
chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the
slider damper located on the left side of the stove. Refer to "Slider/Damper
Set-up" section.
When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded
to the steel chassis of the home and bolted to the fl oor. Make sure that the
structural integrity of the home is maintained and all construction meets
local building codes.
Minor soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under
incorrect conditions such as an extremely rich burn (black tipped, lazy
orange fl ames).
If you have any questions with regard to your stove or the above-men-
tioned information, please feel free to contact your local dealer for further
clarifi cation and comments.
ELECTRICAL: The use of a surge protected power bar is
recommended. The unit must be grounded. The grounded electrical
cord should be connected to a standard 115 volts (4.6 Amps), 60 hertz
electrical outlet. Be careful that the electrical cord is not trapped under
the appliance and that it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges and
also must be accessible. If this power cord should become damaged,
a replacement power cord must be purchased from a Greenfi re dealer.
This unit's maximum power requirement is 520 watts.
GLASS: Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not
attempt to operate the stove with broken glass. The stove uses ceramic
glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from a Greenfire dealer.
Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in
operation or if glass is hot. To clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and
mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove glass cleaner, or take a damp
paper towel and dip into the fly ash. This is a very mild abrasive and will
not damage the glass.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater
while it is in use.
SMOKE DETECTOR: Smoke detectors should be installed and
maintained in the structure when installing and operating a pellet burning
appliance.
OPERATION: The ash pan and door must be closed securely for proper
and safe operation of the pellet stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door
are checked and replaced when necessary.
INSTALLATION: Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your
home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs. It is
recommended that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid
any displacement.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING
SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
FRESH AIR: Outside Fresh Air connection is optional. Must be
connected to all units installed in Mobile and “Air Tight Homes” (R2000)
or where required by local codes. Consider all large air moving devices
when installing your unit and provide room air accordingly. Limited air
for combustion may result in poor performance, smoking and other side
effects of poor combustion.
If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the above-
mentioned information, please feel free to contact your Greenfire dealer
for further clarification and comments.
