WARNING
Fire Risk. · Do not operate appliance before reading
and understanding operating instructions. · Failure to operate appliance
properly may
cause a house fire.
Visit www.quadrafire.com/shopping-tools/videos to view product and use & care
videos.
A. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious
consideration:
· Install at least one smoke detector and CO monitor on each floor of your
home.
· Locate detectors away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping
areas.
· Follow the detector’s manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions
and maintain regularly.
· Conveniently locate a Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires.
· In the event of a hopper fire: – Evacuate the house immediately. – Notify
fire department.
B. Non-Combustible Materials
Material which will not ignite and burn, composed of any combination of the
following:
– Steel – Plaster – Brick – Iron – Concrete – Tile – Glass – Slate
Materials reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method for Behavior of
Metals, in a Vertical Tube Furnace of 750° C.
C. Combustible Materials
Material made of/or surfaced with any of the following materials:
– Wood – Compressed Paper – Plant Fibers – Plastic – Plywood/OSB – Sheet Rock
(drywall)
Any material that can ignite and burn: flame proofed or not, plastered or non-
plastered.
D. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage
Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. This appliance has been designed to
burn a wide variety of fuels, giving you the choice to use the fuel that is
most economical in your region.
Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends only using Pellet Fuel
Institute (PFI) certified fuel. Fuel Material
· Made from sawdust or wood by-products · Depending on the source material it
may have a high or
low ash content.
Higher Ash Content Material
· Hardwoods with a high mineral content
· Fuel that contains bark
· Standard grade pellets and high ash pellets
Lower Ash Content Material
· Softwoods
· Fuels with low mineral content
· Premium grade pellets
Clinkers
Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as sand will turn into a
hard, glass-like substance called a clinker when heated in the fire pot. Trees
from different areas will vary in mineral content. That is why some fuels
produce more clinkers than others.
CAUTION
Do not burn fuel that contains an additive; (such as soybean oil). · May cause
hopper fires · Damage to product may result Read the ingredients list on the
package.
8
7022-802L
03/24
Moisture
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content takes heat from
the fuel and tends to cool the appliance, robbing heat from your home. Damp
pellet fuel can clog the feed system.
Size
· Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in diameter. · Length
should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm). · Pellet lengths can vary from lot
to lot from the
same manufacturer.
· Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate) may need adjusting
occasionally.
Performance
· Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied more frequently.
· Hardwoods require more air to burn properly.
· Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.
· Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can cause an inconsistent
fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.
Changing to Different Fuel Type
· Empty the hopper of the previous fuel.
· Thoroughly vacuum hopper before filling with the new fuel.
The burn rate, BTU content and heat output will all vary depending on the fuel
selected.
E. Before Your First Fire
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly installed and that all
safety requirements have been met. Pay particular attention to the fire
protection, venting and thermostat installation instructions.
2. Double check that the ash drawer and firebox are empty! 3. Check the
position of the thermocouple, located above
the fire pot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately 3/4 inch (19mm)
into the fire pot. 4. Close the front door.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: The tip of the thermocouple must be in contact with the
inside end of the thermocouple cover or missed ignitions can occur.
F. Filling the Hopper
Open the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopper with fuel. Close
the hopper lid. The unit will not feed with the hopper lid open and the fire
will go out.
CAUTION

G. General Operating Information
1. Thermostat Calls For Heat: The appliance is like most modern furnaces;
when the thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically light
and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature and the thermostat is
satisfied, the red call light will shut off and the appliance will shut down.
The red call light is located behind the right access panel.
2. Heat Output Controls: This appliance is equipped with a heat output
control switch that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high
(Figure 10.1). The appliance will turn on and off as the thermostat demands.
When the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance will always start up on
High. After burning approximately 4 minutes, the appliance will then burn at
the rate at which it was originally set. If the appliance is set at one of the
lower settings, it will run quieter but takes longer to heat up an area than
if it were set at a higher burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate, when the
area is warm enough to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off.

WARNING
Fire Hazard.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids
clear of appliance.
H. Starting Your First Fire
1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this appliance. At this
time, fill the hopper with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting.
Plug the power cord into nearby outlet.
2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18 minutes even though
the thermostat is not calling for heat. This is normal.
3. Locate the heat output control switch on the lower right side of the
firebox behind decorative front door. Set to the HIGH setting and then adjust
the thermostat to its highest setting. The red call light will be on which is
located on the top of the junction box behind the right access panel. This
indicates the thermostat is calling for heat (Figure 10.1).
4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on.
5. For your first fire it will be necessary to press the reset button once
per minute until pellets start to drop into the fire pot, then press button 1
more time. This will fill the feed system and allow the appliance to begin
dropping pellets. The appliance will continue to run as long as the thermostat
is calling for heat.
6. Once the appliance has ignited, let it burn for approximately 15 minutes,
then set the thermostat to the desired room temperature. Adjust the heat
output control switch to the desired setting.
WARNING

I. Fire Characteristics
A properly adjusted fire with the heat output control button set on “HIGH” has
a short active flame pattern that extends out of the fire pot approximately 4
inches (102mm). If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems
somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. If the fire is not 4
inches (102mm) tall, increase the feed rate. A medium and low setting will
give a shorter flame. The flame will rise and fall somewhat. This is normal.
Correct
J. Feed Rate Adjustment Instructions
The feed adjustment control rod is factory set, and should be adequate for
most fuels. The control rod will slide by only loosening the wing screw.
However, if the flame height is too high or too low, you will need to adjust
the feed rate. Wait until the appliance has been burning for 15 minutes before
making your adjustments and allow 15 minutes for feed adjustment to take
effect. Make adjustments in approximately 1/2 inch increments.
1. Loosen the wing screw (Figure 11.3).
2. Adjust the fuel adjustment control rod towards to the right and up to
increase the feed rate and flame height or to the left and down to decrease
the feed rate and flame height.
3. Re-tighten the wing screw.

K. Ignition Cycles
1. During each ignition cycle, it is normal to see some smoke in the firebox.
The smoke will stop once the fire starts.
2. The convection blower will automatically turn on after your appliance has
reached the set temperature. This blower transfers heat from your appliance
into the room, and will continue to run after the thermostat has stopped
calling for heat until the appliance has cooled down.
3. Occasionally the appliance may run out of fuel and shut itself down. When
this happens, the red call light will be on (Figure 10.1 on page 10). To
restart it, fill the hopper and press the reset button. When you press the
reset button the red call light will go out. Release the button and the light
will come back on. You should see a fire shortly. If not, follow Starting Your
First Fire instructions on page 10.

U. Frequently Asked Questions
What causes my glass to become dirty? If the glass has white ash build up it
is normal and the glass should be cleaned. If it is a black soot build up
airflow through the unit may be restricted. The most often cause is overdue
maintenance and cleaning; see Maintaining and Servicing section on page 18
and/or make adjustments to the feed rate adjustment control (reference Feed
Rate Adjustment Instructions on page 11).
How can I get more heat out of the appliance? The most often cause of
diminished heat output is overdue maintenance and cleaning; see Maintaining
and Servicing section on page 18.
What should I do if I smell smoke or there is ash/soot coming from the
appliance? While there will always be some smoke smell from wood burning
appliances (including pellet) you should investigate all venting to make sure
it is sealed properly. Follow venting manufacturers recommendations for
sealing pipe joints.
In addition most homes are built very tight today and with exhaust systems can
create negative pressure in the home. See Negative Pressure on page 16 in the
installation manual. For ash or soot check the above and the exhaust blower
housing and seals.
Why would my appliance run fine last winter but not start this fall? It is
possible that the stove was not properly prepared for the non-burn season; see
Troubleshooting Guide starting on page 23.
Is there a place to lubricate the blowers to quiet them down? No. The most
often cause of noisy blowers is from the impellers becoming dirty over time;
see Maintenance and Service section on page 18.
What is the metal object with the bend in it that came inside the plastic bag?
It is a clean-out tool used to help clean the fire pot and remove any jams in
the rare event they occur in the feed tube.
Why is there a black residue building up on the outside of my home? Wind can
cause this to happen. If the appliance is operating correctly very little soot
should ever exit the termination cap. Check to be sure the venting is
installed per the installation manual and local codes.
Do I need an outside air kit? Outside air is required for mobile home installs
and in some jurisdictions. Refer to Listing & Code Approvals on page 6, Mobile
Home Installation on page 27 in the installation manual and Appliance Set-up
on page 21 in the installation manual. Also refer to local building codes.
I am seeing sparks coming out of my pipe (termination cap) outside is this
safe? This is normal. As long as clearances to combustibles were followed this
is safe.
I have no power to anything. Does this unit have a circuit breaker or fuse or
a reset button? This unit has one fuse on the control board and a resettable
snap disc mounted to the feed tube. If the appliance overheats then the snap
disc can be reset; if the fuse is blown the control board must be replaced.
Where is the serial # located on my unit? The serial number is riveted to
appliance behind left side panel; remove the cast side and swing label
forward.
No pellets are dropping in my fire pot. See troubleshooting guide.

C. General Maintenance and Cleaning
1. Types of Fuel The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you
have to clean your fire pot. If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or
ash content, it may be necessary to clean the fire pot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the fire pot (Figure 19.1). A
clinker is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is heated to
2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like. See High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
on page 22 in this section for more details on fuels with high ash content.
Clinker

2. Cleaning Fire pot with Cleaning Rod & Fire pot Clean-Out Tool
· Frequency: Daily or more often as needed · By: Homeowner
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool and the exhaust blower
off.
NOTE: If you are just cleaning the fire pot, there is no need to unplug the
insert.
b. Pull fire pot cleaning rod OUT and IN a couple of times to help shake
debris loose. — If rod is hard to pull, it may be necessary to use your fire
pot clean-out tool to chip away material that has built up on the bottom plate
of the fire pot and to push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers may have to be
removed from the top of the fire pot.
c. The fire pot floor plate must be fully closed when finished (Figure 19.2).

3. Ash Removal from Firebox
· Frequency: Weekly or more frequently depending on ash build-up
· By: Homeowner
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the firebox during cleaning so allow the
appliance to completely cool. Frequent cleaning of the ash in the firebox will
help slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust blower and vent system.
b. Plug in your appliance, if unplugged, and turn the thermostat on and
immediately shut it off to start the exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will
pull fly ash out the exhaust instead of into the room.
c. Open door. There are 2 cleaning slide plates to the left and right of the
fire pot with finger holes. Pull both slide plates out and sweep the remaining
ash from the firebox into the 2 open holes. A paint brush works well for this.
Close slide plates.
d. This ash is deposited in the same ash drawer as the fire pot debris. The
ash drawer should be emptied every time you clean the firebox. Remember to
place the ash and debris into a metal or non-combustible container.
e. The 2 cleaning slide plates must be fully closed when cleaning is complete.
Cleaning Ash Drawer
· Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel · By: Homeowner
Locate the ash drawer underneath the fire pot and slide the ash drawer
straight out. Empty into a non-combustible container and re-install ash
drawer.
WARNING
WARNING
Fire Risk. NEVER pull fire pot cleaning rods or cleaning slide plates when

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tightfitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been
thoroughly cooled.
WARNING
Disposal of Ashes. · Ashes should be placed in metal container
with tight fitting lid. · Ashes should be retained in closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
6. Cleaning Heat Exchanger Chambers
· Frequency: Weekly or every 1 ton of fuel
· By: Homeowner
The amount of ash buildup in the firebox will be a good guide to determine how
often you should clean the heat exchangers.
a. Allow the appliance to completely cool down before pulling the cleaning
rods. Turn the thermostat on and then immediately off to start the exhaust
blower on its cycle time. It will pull fly ash out the exhaust instead of into
the room.
b. Locate the 2 exposed rods directly underneath the heat exchanger tubes
(Figure 20.1).

9. Cleaning the Hopper
· Frequency: Monthly or every 1 ton of fuel
· By: Homeowner
After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to clean the hopper to
prevent sawdust build-up. A combination of sawdust and pellets on the auger
reduces the amount of fuel supply to the fire pot. This can result in nuisance
shutdowns and mis-starts.
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the appliance to
completely cool down.
b. Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

10. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal in Exhaust Venting System.
· Frequency: Yearly or more frequently depending on ash build-up
· By: Qualified Service Technician/Homeowner
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly-ash. The fly-
ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the
flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or
incorrect operation of the room appliance will lead to some soot formation
which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system
should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is
necessary.
The venting system may need to be cleaned at least once a year or more often
depending upon the quality of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal
pipe sections. Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal sections.
11. Cleaning the Glass
· Frequency: When clear view of the fire pot is obscure
· By: Homeowner
a. Appliance must be completely cool before cleaning glass.
b. Use a damp paper towel or any non-abrasive glass cleaner. Wipe off with dry
towel.
CAUTION
Handle glass assembly with care.
When cleaning glass:
· Avoid striking, scratching or
Glass
slamming glass.
· Do NOT clean glass when hot.
· Do NOT use abrasive cleaners.
· Use a hard water deposit glass cleaner on
white film.
· Refer to maintenance instructions.
WARNING
Handle glass with care.
· Inspect the gasket to ensure it
Glass
is undamaged.
· Do NOT strike, slam or scratch glass.
· Do NOT operate appliance with glass assembly removed.
12. Door Latch Inspection
· Frequency: Prior to heating season
· By: Homeowner
The door latch is non-adjustable but the gasket between the glass and firebox
should be inspected periodically to make sure there is a good seal.
13. Cleaning Exhaust Blower – Requires No Lubrication
· Frequency: Yearly or as needed
· By: Quality Service Technician/Homeowner
Remove left & right brick. The exhaust blower is behind the right brick
(Figure 20.2 on page 20). Vacuum this area thoroughly. See Brick replacement
on page 26 for removing bricks. Re-install bricks when done. 14. Cleaning
Convection Blower – Requires No
Lubrication
· Frequency: Yearly or as needed
· By: Qualified Service Technician · Task: Contact your local dealer.
15. Preparing Firebox for Non-Burn Season
· Frequency: At the end of the heating season
· By: Homeowner
a. Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged and the
exhaust blower is off.
b. Remove all ash from the firebox and vacuum thoroughly.
c. Paint all exposed steel, including cast-iron. — Use the Touch-Up paint
supplied with the appliance; or,
— Purchase paint from your local dealer.
— Must use a high-temperature paint made specifically for heating appliances.
WARNING
Fire Risk · High ash fuels, or lack of maintenance,
can cause the fire pot to overfill. Follow proper shutdown procedure if ash
build up exceeds half way point. · Failure to do so could result in smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fires.
21
7022-802L
03/24
D. Soot or Creosote Fire Awareness
The chimney should be inspected periodically during the heating season to
determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If a significant layer of
creosote has accumulated (1/8 inch [3mm] or more) it should be removed to
reduce the risk of chimney fire.
Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often you need to
clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote is
deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in the mild weather even
though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest months. Contact your
local municipal or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle
a chimney fire.
In the event of a soot or creosote fire, close the firebox door, exit the
building immediately and contact the proper fire authorities.
DO NOT under any circumstances re-enter the building.
E. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
· Frequency: When the ash build-up exceeds more than half way up the fire pot.
· By: Homeowner
Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create conditions that
make the fire pot fill quickly with ashes and clinkers.
This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfilling the fire pot
with pellets which may result in smoking, sooting and possible hopper fires.
Figure 22.1 shows an example where the fire pot overfills, pellets back up
into the feed tube and ash has accumulated in the firebox.
An inefficient and non-economical method of burning of fuel caused by poor
quality pellet fuel is shown in Figure 22.2.
The correct flame size when good quality, premium pellet fuel is burned is
shown in Figure 22.3.
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the fire pot IMMEDIATE
ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.

turn green when the appliance has reached a temperature of 200°F (93°C) in the
fire pot. and will turn red when it reaches 600°F (315°C).
c. There is also an internal blue light located in the upper left corner of
the control box. When you plug in the appliance the blue light will
automatically start blinking 6 blinks every 10 seconds for 60 seconds
(depending upon setting) and then will stop.
NOTE: Do NOT open the control box. This will void the warranty. If you need to
plug in or remove the control box you must first unplug the appliance.
2. Convection Blower: The convection blower is mounted at the bottom rear of
the appliance. There are 2 impellers, one on each side of the motor. The
convection blower pushes air through the heat exchange system into the room.
3. Exhaust Blower: The exhaust blower is mounted on the right side of the
appliance behind the right side panel. The exhaust blower is designed to pull
the exhaust from the appliance and push it out through the venting system.
4. Feed System: The feed system is located behind the firebox and can be
removed as an entire assembly. The assembly includes the feed motor, mounting
bracket, bearing and feed spring (auger). The hollow feed spring (auger) pulls
pellets up the feed tube from the hopper area and drops them down the feed
chute into the fire pot at a set rate. The feed motor starts and stops every 7
seconds.
5. Fire pot: The fire pot is made of high quality ductile iron and has a
cleaning pull-out rod. The floor of the fire pot opens for cleaning when you
pull out the rod. Be sure that the floor returns to a completely closed
position or your appliance will not operate properly.
6. Fuse: The fuse is located on the side of the junction box near the red
call light. The fuse will blow should a short occur and shut off power to the
appliance.
7. Heat Exchangers: The heat exchangers transfer heat from the exhaust system
into convection air. There are 2 clean out rods located under the heat
exchangers.
When describing the location of a component, it is always AS YOU FACE
THE FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE.
8. Heat Output Switch: The heat output switch is located on the lower right
side of firebox, behind the front access door and above the reset button. The
function of the heat output switch is to regulate the burn rates; low, medium
and high settings.
9. Hopper Switch: The hopper switch is located in the upper right hand
corner, outside of the hopper. This switch is designed to shut down the feed
motor whenever the hopper lid is opened.
10. Igniter: The igniter is mounted on the base of the fire pot. Combustion
air travels over the red hot igniter creating super heated air that ignites
the pellets.
11. Junction Box And Wiring Harness: The junction box is located on the lower
right side of the appliance, behind the left front access door. The junction
box and wiring harness are replaced as one component.
12. Power Supply: The power outlet is located on the lower right side of the
appliance on the front of the junction box. Check the wall receptacle for 120
volt, 60 Hz (standard current). Make sure the outlet is grounded and has the
correct polarity. A good surge protector is recommended. When operating with a
generator you need a least 600 watts of power, or with an inverter at least
800 watts of power available for the appliance during the start cycle.
13. Red Call Light: The red call light is on the top of the junction box by
the fuse. The function of the red call light is to indicate that the
thermostat is calling for heat.
14. Reset Button: The reset button is located on the lower right side of
firebox in behind the access door and below the heat output control switch.
The function of the switch is to momentarily open the thermostat circuit,
which restarts the system.
15. Thermocouple: The thermocouple is located on top of the fire pot inside
the thermocouple cover (ceramic protection tube). The thermocouple sends a
millivolt signal to the control box indicating the preset temperatures of the
green and red lights have been obtained.
16. Thermostat: The appliance is designed to run on a 5 volt DC thermostat.
The heat anticipator, if present, should be set on the lowest setting
available.

17. Snap Disc #1 (Convection Blower) 110°F: Snap disc #1 is located on the
right side of the firebox. There are 2 purple wires connected to it. This snap
disc turns the convection blower on and off as needed. Power is always present
at snap disc #1 if the appliance is powered up.
18. Snap Disc #2 (Fuel Delivery Interrupt) 250°F: Snap disc #2 is located on
the back side of the feed drop tube. There is 1 orange wire and 1 black wire
connected to it. This snap disc will turn off the feed system, which will turn
off the appliance if an over fire condition should occur or if the convection
blower should fail to operate. If this occurs the snap disc with automatically
reset itself.
19. Snap Disc #3 (Burn Back Protector) 250°F: Snap disc #3 is mounted on the
back of the auger tube in the center of the appliance and has a reset button.
To access it remove the right side panel. If the fire tries to burn back into
the feed system or push exhaust up the feed tube, this snap disc will shut the
entire system off. This disc must be manually reset. Power is always present
at snap disc #3 if the appliance is powered up.
20. Vacuum Switch: The vacuum switch is located on the lower right side of
the appliance behind left access panel. This switch turns the feed system on
when vacuum is present in the firebox. The vacuum switch is a safety device to
shut off the feed motor if the exhaust or the heat exchanger system is dirty
or plugged or if the firebox door is open.
