Page | 8 INSTALLATION Venting Introduction This pellet stove operates on a ne gative draft system, which pulls combustion air through the burn pot and pushe s the exhaust air to the vent pipe and out of the building. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following detailed descriptions of venting technique s; not installing the stove i[...]

Page | 9 INSTALLATION Additional Venting Information • Do not mix and match com ponents fro m different pipe manufacturers when assembling your venting system (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one manufacturer and a thimble from another). • We require a minimum vertical rise of 36 in. (3 ft.) of pipe to create natural draft in the system, whic[...]

Page | 10 INSTALLATION Approved Venting Method 1 : Through the Wall • Generally the simplest in stallation method, venting through the wall using our AC-3000 kit (or similar venting system) is also the preferred venting method. It minimizes horizontal pipe, allows the stove to be installed close to the wall and keeps the clean-out tee on the outs[...]

Page | 11 INSTALLATION Approved Venting Method 2 : Through the Ceiling • Venting through the ceiling/ roof may be the only feasible venting option in so me cases and is a factory recommended installation. • When installing any venting system, Type L or Type PL pipe must be used and all clearances to combustibles listed by the pipe manufacturer [...]

Page | 12 INSTALLATION Approved Venting Method 3 : Existing Chimney System • Using an existing masonry or factory built chimney for venting is the only other acceptable m ethod for venting this pellet unit. • Use Type L or Type PL venting pipe until entering the existing chimney. Use the appropriately s ized adapter when transitioning from the [...]

Page | 13 INSTALLATION Mobile Home Installation • As with all installations involving this unit, the use of outside combustion air is mandatory and MUST be used. Please see the “Out side Air” section on page 14 for more information regarding outside air connections. • The pellet stove MUST be secured to the floor of the m obile home using l[...]

Page | 14 OUTSIDE AIR HOOK-UP • The use of outside combustion air is mandatory on the 25-EP. • The outside air connection pipe protrude s from the lower rear center of the stove; use the included outside air kit to attach your stove to outside combustion air. Instructions and all the parts need ed to make the outside air connection to your pell[...]

Page | 15 FLOOR PROTECTION • The 25-EP requires a non-combustible floor protector if the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor. If the floor the stove is be installed on is already non-combustible (i.e. a concrete floor in a basement), no floor protection is needed (although a decorative floor protector can still be used for aesthetic r[...]

Page | 16 DAILY OPERATION Getting Started • Check to see that th e hopper is clean and free from fo reign materials. Be sure to connect this unit to a working outle t; we recommend using a surge protector to help protect the electr onic components from damage. • BEFORE your first fire, dry run your unit (no pellet fuel in the hopper) for twenty[...]

Page | 17 • The 25-EP will perform equally well usi ng softwood and hardwood pellets, and although the ash may differ slightly in a ppearance or texture, both types of pellets will burn cleanly and efficiently in this stove. • The 25-EP is equipped with an automatic pellet ignition system; the only user input required to light the stove is a si[...]

Page | 18 CONTROL BOARD SETTINGS The control board on this stove allows th e user to adjust the heat output and convection blower speed, turn the unit on and off, and test co mponents for function (more on diagnostic mode later). • The lower buttons on the control board (L ow Fuel Feed, Low Burn Air, and Air on Temp) are not meant to be adjusted [...]

Page | 19 ERROR CODES Error codes, or “E-Codes,” are alphanumeric codes that will appear in the Heat Range and Blower Speed windows of the C ontrol Board if the unit experiences an abnormal condition. Error code s are the control board’s wa y of telling the user that something isn’t operating correctly within the stove, and that the unit sh[...]

Locate the thermostat connect block, la beled J18, on the rear of the control board, near the bottom (See image belo w and pg. 43 of this manual for a control board diagram). It will have a small wire “jumper” installed in it fro[...]

Page | 22 THERMOSTAT OPERATION Thermostat Operation Details • The 25-EP was designed to operate equally well in both manual and thermostat mode. While using the c ontrol board for heating control gives the user control over the heat output of the stove, the thermostat allows t he stove to “start-up” and “shutdown” inde pendently which wil[...]

Page | 23 DAILY MAINTENANCE Important Notes • As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF” and has completed the Shut-Down cycle BEFORE beginning. • Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complet e. Always use extreme caution w[...]

Page | 24 DAILY MAINTENANCE Ash Removal and Disposal • Press the “Off” button and allow the stove to complete the shut-down cycle and cool completely. • Grasp the heat exchange cleaning rod lo cated at the middle of the decorative room air grill and repeatedly pull it in and out until ash stops falling from the tubes into the firebox. NOTE [...]

Page | 25 DAILY MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Burnpot Along with removing ashes from the stove, cleaning the burnpot is the other essential part of daily maintenance that will keep the stove operating at its peak. Pellets contain varying amounts of impur ities and fusible m aterial that will accumulate in the burnpot over time. Some pellets will contain[...]

Page | 26 BIWEEKLY MAINTENANCE Important Notes • As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF,” has completed the Shut-Down cycl e, and is completely cool BEFORE beginning. • Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complet e. Alw[...]

Page | 27 BIWEEKLY MAINTENANCE Baffle Removal • Using the integral tube cleaner, as mentioned in the Daily Maintenance section, helps to keep the heat exch anger tubes free from fly ash; however, fly ash will still accumulate on the baffl e shelf and in other non-visible areas. • The firebox baffle is a free floating design, which reduces therm[...]

Page | 28 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE Important Notes • As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF,” has completed the Shut-Down cycl e, and is completely cool BEFORE beginning. • Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complet e. Alwa[...]

Page | 29 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE Exhaust Chamber Cleaning The exhaust chamber of the stove wa s intentionally designed as an ash accumulation area. Allowing ash to accumu lat e here prevents excess ash build-up in the combustion blower and the venting system. Similarly, the exhaust chamber is easily accessible via the two exhaust chamber clean-out por[...]

Page | 30 • MONTHLY MAINTENANCE Venting Pipe Cleaning • Low spots and direction changes in th e venting system (such as tee’s and elbows) are areas for potential fly-ash accumulation.

Page | 32 YEARLY MAINTENANCE Exhaust Blower Cleaning Although the exhaust blower and blower housing were designed to minimize ash build-up, some fly-ash will still accumulate there throughout the burning season. The amount and type of ash will depend on th e type of pellets and venting system, but generally this accumulation will be mild. If, when [...]

Page | 33 • Loosen the five (5) 5/16” self-drilling screws which hold the exhaust blower to the exhaust blower tube. The lo wer sc rews are most easily accessed through the circular cutouts in the st ove body. A 12” socket extension will likely be necessary to reach all of the screws. • Lift the exhaust blower up and out of the stove. The g[...]

Page | 34 • YEARLY MAINTENANCE Convection Blower Cleaning As always, be certain the stove is cool and unplugged before servicing any components within the unit. Since the convection blower does not handle any by- products of combustion, it does not re quire serious cleaning like the exhaust blower. However, dust from the home and other debris in [...]

Page | 35 • YEARLY MAINTENANCE Checking Gaskets An airtight seal at the door openings a nd hopper lid opening is crucial to proper stove performance. Any air leaks at these areas can not only cause a dirty, inefficient burn but can also pose a serious safety threat. Because of this, gaskets should always be maintained in good condition. Gasket ti[...]
