FLOOR PROTECTION
This appliance requires noncombustible floor protection. If the floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mor-
tared or grouted to form a continuous non-combustible surface. If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor,
the protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2" to either side.

A noncombustible floor protector must fully cover the area beneath the appliance and extend 6” to the front, 6” to the
sides, and up to 6" from the back as illustrated below.

*Note: When installed at clearances less than 6”, floor protection is only required to extend to the wall.

DETERMINING SIZE OF PIPE TO INSTALL

To determine what diameter pipe to use in an installation (3” or 4”), first find the “equivalent pipe length” using the follow-
ing guidelines, then plot this figure and the altitude on the chart.

Fill out the installation chart, and calculate your total equivalent pipe length. After you have the total equivalent pipe
length, use the Pipe Selection Chart below to determine if your installation requires 3” or 4” exhaust pipe.

Long Burn Time:


When operated correctly, this appliance cannot be over-
fired. Continuous operation at a maximum burn can,
however, shorten the life of the electrical components
(blowers, motors, and electronic controls), and is not rec-
ommended. Typical approved operation would include
running at the low to mid range setting with occasional
running on the maximum setting during the coldest peri-
ods of the winter. The blower speed control should be
turned to high when operating the stove on the high heat
setting. A lower heat setting is recommended for over-
night operation or when the room is vacated for long pe-
riods of time.

Note: See Fuel Delivery Rate on page 18 for burn times.

The UltraGrate should be inspected periodically to as-
sure that the air holes have not become clogged with ash
or clinkers. The UltraGrate can easily be cleaned with
the grate scraper / ash pan tool, or it can be removed for
cleaning. It is very important to monitor the ash build up
under the UltraGrate, as excessive amounts of ash will
block combustion air from entering the grate, causing
pellets to pile-up in the grate. The ash build-up under the * (Recommended Frequency of 2 days – 2 weeks)

Disc for Room Air Blower – This disc is located on


the Room Air Blower jacket and is designed to de-
tect an overfire condition.

Disc for Combustion Air Inlet – This disc is lo-


cated on the combustion air inlet and is designed to
detect reversed flow. If negative pressure in the
dwelling (i.e. An extremely tight house which may
not supply adequate combustion and ventilation air)
causes the exhaust to pull back from the combus-
tion air inlet, the heat from the exhaust will result in
heat activation of this disc.
