    *- This unit was not tested for efficiency; the efficiency shown is a default value normally attained by similar, certified pellet burning appliances. ** - Heat output, burn rate and maximum burn time are heavily dependent on the type of pellets burned in the stove; as such, these numbers may vary.

  • Page 10: Venting Introduction

    • ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence with the instructions and clearances included with your venting system. • DO NOT connect this pellet stove to a chimney flue which also serves another appliance. • DO NOT install a flue pipe damper or any other restrictive device in the exhaust venting system of this unit.

  • Page 11: Addition Venting Information

    (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one manufacturer and a termination cap from another). • A FULL chimney relining is required when installing this stove as an insert. o For chimneys 15 ft. or shorter, 3 in. pellet liner may be used.

  • Page 12: Full Chimney Reline

    Approved Venting Method: Full Chimney Relining RTV silicone. • Secure the outside air pipe to the stove using a hose clamp or other mechanical fastener. The outside air pipe may be run to the top of the chimney system and terminated (as shown above), or may be run down through the ash dump, in the case of a masonry fireplace.

  • Page 13: Outside Air Hook-Up

    The best choice for outside air connection is the one which uses the shortest distance or outside air pipe. • If it is not feasible to use the included outside air hookup kit in your stove installation, other materials may be used provided the following rules are...

  • Page 14: Floor Protection

    • The 25-EP requires a non-combustible hearth if the current hearth of the fireplace does not extend the required distance from the front of stove. Follow the diagram below to determine if the current fireplace hearth is sufficient. • If the current fireplace hearth is not large enough to accommodate this insert, a hearth extension pad (which is designed and sold specifically for this purpose) can be used.

  • Page 15: Daily Operation

    Lighting a Fire • In order for this stove to operate, the hopper must first be filled with pellet fuel. Lift the hopper lid using the flush-mount handle and pour the pellet fuel directly into the hopper.
  • Page 16 • The fuel feed rate and combustion air during start-up is determined by the control board, so the stove may be started on any heat range, although we recommend starting the stove on Heat Range 5 to help ensure a strong fire is initiated.

  • Page 17: Control Board Settings

    This initiates the shut down sequence, and the stove will remain in shut down mode until it has cooled down. • To increase the heat output of the stove, press the “Up” heat range button. The number in the heat range display window will increase, signifying that the control board is now adjusting the heat output to your desired level.

  • Page 18: Error Codes

    “E-Code” shutdown, it means there are currently no errors and the stove will begin normal operating. This error code is not used on this stove. If it displayed in the control board windows, please contact customer service and they will diagnose the cause of the false code.

    If the power to the unit is interrupted for approximately three minutes or less, the unit will resume operation when power is restored according to the following table: Unit’s State Before Power Loss State When Power Returns Start-Up Shut-Down If the power is interrupted for more than (approximately) three minutes, the unit will be “OFF”...

  • Page 20: Thermostat Operation

    THERMOSTAT OPERATION Thermostat Installation 1. Unplug the unit and remove the back panel of the stove. 2. Locate the thermostat connect block, labeled J18, on the rear of the control board, near the bottom (See image below and pg. 43 of this manual for a control board diagram).
  • Page 21 • During thermostatic operation, the stove will burn at whatever heat range and blower speed the control board has been set to. • When the call for heat is gone (i.e. the room is up to temperature), the stove will enter the thermostatic shutdown sequence.

  • Page 22: Daily Maintenance

    • Ashes should only be removed when the stove has been shutdown and been allowed to cool thoroughly. Hot embers can remain under ashes long after the fire has gone out, so always be extra careful when handling any ashes from this and any stove.

  • Page 23: Daily Ash Removal

    • Because of the open design of the firebox, the majority of the ash will already be in the ash pan. Open the main door of the stove and use an old paint brush or putty knife to move ash from around the burnpot into the ash pan below.

  • Page 24: Cleaning The Burnpot

    • Always allow the stove to finish the shut-down cycle and cool completely before performing any maintenance inside the firebox. • Open the main door of the stove and remove the burnpot by lifting the front edge first and then simultaneously lifting up and out on the rear of the burnpot.

  • Page 25: Bi-Weekly

    Similarly, always be certain the stove is completely cool and that ALL ashes are cool before vacuuming. • Clean-out tees and other low spots in venting systems are areas prone to fly ash accumulation.

  • Page 26: Baffle Removal

    Allowing the baffle to slide down to the cradle and then tilting it down and pulling it out of the stove through the main loading door. • As soon as the baffle is out of the stove, the area where fly-ash accumulates on the firebox shelf will be clear.

  • Page 27: Monthly Maintenance

    Maintenance” sections. • Intervals between monthly cleanings will depend on the duration that stove is burning on a daily basis. A stove which is operated continuously will need more frequent monthly cleanings than a stove which is used periodically as supplemental heat.

  • Page 28: Exhaust Chamber

    MONTHLY MAINTENANCE Exhaust Chamber Cleaning The exhaust chamber of the stove was intentionally designed as an ash accumulation area. Allowing ash to accumulate 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 ports located in the firebox.

  • Page 29: Venting Pipe

    • Horizontal runs of pipe, such as from the exhaust connection on the stove to transition to vertical, will accumulate fly ash and should be inspected carefully and brushed clean.

  • Page 30: Important Notes

    Using extra attention to detail and being certain to be very thorough in the end of season cleaning will help increase the operating life of the stove and venting system.

  • Page 31: Yearly Maintenance

    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 gasket which seals the exhaust blower to the exhaust blower tube is fragile, so take extra care when removing the blower.
  • Page 32 • With the exhaust blower removed, use a utility vacuum to remove any ash accumulation in the exhaust blower tube. • Use a soft paint brush and carefully remove any ash accumulation from the inside of the exhaust blower and from the exhaust blower fan blade. •...

  • Page 33: Convection Blower

    Any dust that has built up on the fan blades can usually be easily removed with a vacuum or a soft paint brush. As always, be certain the stove is cool and unplugged before servicing any components within the unit.

  • Page 34: Checking Gaskets

    An airtight seal at the door openings and hopper lid opening is crucial to proper stove performance. Any air leaks at this 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.
