Installation Instructions

Make a cut on the lip in the bottom of the A1 adapter, to create a mesh effect on the adapter. If you have the A2 adapter, this step is not required.
Insert the incision of part (A1) into the notch of part (B) and rotate part (A1) clockwise until it fits completely. Repeat step 1 and step 2 for the second piece (A1). If you have the adapter (A2) simply tuck the end with the wings into one of the two holes in part (B) and secure the adapter in place by bending the wings as in the right image below. Repeat with the second adapter (A2).
Remove the decorative grilles from the front and top of the pellet stove using a screwdriver. Save the screws and the grilles for step 7, before starting to assemble the hot air plenum.
Place the hot air plenum adapter (C) on top of the pellet stove in the holes provided for this purpose.
Secure the plenum adapter to the pellet stove using the lock nuts (F) provided with this manual using a ratchet wrench with a 7/16” socket or simply a 7/16” wrench.
Cut the hot air plenum (not included) to the desired length while respecting the clearances to combustible materials indicated below then attach it to the outlet adapter installed in step 5 using 4 self-tapping screws perforating (E). Then attach the plenum outlet adapter, assembled in step 2, to the top of the plenum using 4 self-drilling screws (E).
IF YOU OWN THE 2ND GENERATION ECO-65 (#2980 and above), GO TO SECTION 8. Install the plate (D), provided in the accessory box, on the front of the device. To secure it, replace the decorative grille on the front of the appliance and secure it using the screws kept in step 3.
- Note: the plate (D) only covers 75% of the opening.
IF YOU OWN ECO-65 #2980 and above (listed on the approval plate, under the hopper panel), lift and pull the decorative grille towards you to remove it from the stove. Install the plate (G), supplied in the accessory box, behind the decorative grille using two (2) nuts (F). Reinstall the grate on the stove. Note: the plate (G) only covers 50% of the opening.
