Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area. To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation instructions. A Greenfire dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local building codes and installation restrictions. Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of the home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs. The stove's exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure. It is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove. Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper combustion air is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the slider damper located on the left side of the stove. Refer to "Slider/Damper Set-up" section. When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the home and bolted to the floor. Make sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained and all construction meets local building codes. Minor soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an extremely rich burn (black tipped, lazy orange flames). If you have any questions with regard to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please feel free to contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments. SAFETY WARNINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS CAUTION: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system. Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil. Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. SOOT: Operation of the stove with insufficient combustion air will result in the formation of soot which will collect on the glass, the heat exchanger, the exhaust vent system, and may stain the outside of the house. This is a dangerous situation and is inefficient. Frequently check your stove and adjust the slider/damper as needed to ensure proper combustion. See "Slider/Damper Setting". glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from a Greenfire dealer. Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation or if glass is hot. To clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove glass cleaner, or take a damp paper towel and dip into the fly ash. This is a very mild abrasive and will not damage the glass. FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use. SMOKE DETECTOR: Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained in the structure when installing and operating a pellet burning appliance. OPERATION: The ash pan and door must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door are checked and replaced when necessary.

Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway, etc. 2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required. 3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be installed outside when the appliance is vented directly through a wall, to create some natural draft to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure. This will keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent through the roof vertically. 4. Distance from the bottom of the termination and grade is 12" (30 cm) minimum. This is conditional upon the plants and nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located in the vicinity of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn. 5. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond the control of FPI, we grant no guarantee against such incidents. NOTE: Venting terminals shall not be recessed into walls or siding. 10 Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual INSTALLATION EXHAUST AND FRESH AIR INTAKE LOCATION Outside Fresh Air Connection: EXHAUST: Base of unit to center of flue Side of unit to center of flue Center of unit to center of flue FRESH AIR INTAKE: Base of unit to center of intake Side of unit to center of intake 20-5/16" (508mm) 6-11/16" (170mm) 5-3/4" (146mm) 14-5/8" (356mm) 11-7/16" (291mm) Outside fresh air is mandatory when installing this unit in airtight homes and mobile homes.

Masonry Fireplace Min. 6" Floor Protection Combustible Floor Figure 28: Installation of Fireplace Insert Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual INSTALLATION When installing the insert into a masonry fireplace DO NOT remove any bricks or masonry, with the following exception; masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner. Provided that their removal will not weaken the structure of the fireplace and chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible materials to less than that required by the national building code. When installing the fireplace insert into a zero clearance fireplace, where allowed by local codes, DO NOT cut or modify any factory firebox parts. If the fireplace insert does not fit into a zero clearance fireplace we recommend you use an Greenfire freestanding model and install as a hearth mounted unit. Install a 3" (76mm) flex pipe from the stove to the top of the chimney. Refer to "Hearth Mount Installation". POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION WITHOUT A FULL RELINE (USA ONLY) This unit does not require a full reline (in USA only) when installing into a masonry fireplace, however, it is recommended to ensure proper drafting of the appliance. This type of application is not recommended. IMPORTANT: Ensure the chimney and firebox are cleaned and free of all debris, including soot and ashes, before proceeding with this installation. If it is not clean, soot may be blown into the room through the unit's blower. Ensure the fireplace and chimney have not deteriorated in any way. If there is any sign of corrosion or damage in the chimney the unit can not be installed. This unit can be installed in a masonry fireplace built to (UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards) or a factory built fireplace (built to UL 127 or ULC S610 standards). 1. Install the hearth pad. The floor 6" (150mm) in front of the unit and 6" (150mm) to each side of the unit must be protected with a noncombustible hearth pad. Top of vent pipe must be 18" (45.7cm) minimum above the chimney seal plate. 2. The vent connector from the insert must extend a minimum of 18" above the chimney seal plate. The chimney seal plate area must be sealed to prevent the exhaust from the chimney from coming back into the fireplace and prevent air from the fireplace from entering the chimney which will affect proper drafting of appliance. The existing chimney can not be corroded or damaged in any way. Chimney must be completely sealed with a non-combustible material and maybe removed annually for cleaning. Mantel (8" deep) Min. 8" from top of stove A qualified installer should evaluate the existing fireplace to determine the best method for achieving a positive flue connection between the vent pipe or liner and the chimney. Whatever method used must effectively seal the area to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. A couple examples of Approved Methods of Achieving a Positive Flue Connection are: a) Secure a seal-off plate (i.e. 22-gage sheet steel) in the masonry fireplace throat using masonry screws. b) Pack non-combustible material (i.e. rockwool) around the vent pipe or using a flue adapter. Min. 6" Masonry Fireplace Floor Protection Combustible Floor Figure 29: Masonry fireplace positive flue installation 3. Set leveling leg to approximate height. IMPORTANT: The chimney seal plate must be removed for the annually chimney cleaning as ash will build up on top of the plate. Be aware that this type of application may have a negative effect on performance not covered under warranty. Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual 17 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CONTROL PANEL IN THE SURROUND PANEL When installing the circuit board control panel into the surround panel, the surround does not need to be assembled. The circuit board will be found in the firebox. Place the circuit board control panel on the backside of the right surround panel so the hinge is on the outside and the top and bottom holes on the control panel line up with those on the surround. Attach using two (2) T-20 screws through the front of the surround into the circuit board control panel (see Figure 30). After the surround has been assembled and is ready to be installed on the unit plug the wiring harness into the control panel (see Figure 31). REMOVAL: When maintenance is required on the unit the surround must be removed. Pull the surround straight up till it stops then pull it out about 4" (10cm) and rest the surround on top of the unit while the control panel is removed or disconnected. If electrical connection is required for the maintenance remove the circuit board control panel from the surround. If electrical connection is not required for the maintenance remove the wiring harness from the bottom of the circuit board control. Figure 30: Right Panel - Front Plug Figure 31: Right Panel - Back ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF INSERT SURROUND PANELS The trim set for your surround panel must be installed before installing the surround panel onto the unit, if not already done. 1. To assemble the surround panels, lay the panels face down on a soft flat surface and align the outer edges of the sides with the top panel. Using four (4) T-20 screws up through the side panels into the top (see Figure 32). 2. Place the assembled surround panel around the stove; align the slots with the screw heads. Push surround in then down to engage the surround slots on the mounting screws (see Figure 33). Make sure the top surround panel sits flat behind the stove top. Figure 32: Assembled Surround Panel 18 Figure 33: Installed Surround Panel Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual INSTALLATION PLATED DOOR INSTALLATION THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY DO NOT REMOVE OR REPLACE COVER WHEN PELLET STOVE IS HOT! TOOLS REQUIRED: a) 11/32" socket REMOVAL OF DOOR COVER: When stove is off and cool, open the door. Remove the four (4) #8 hex nuts around the inside of the glass retainer shown in Figure 37. Remove door cover from door by gently sliding the studs out of the holes. If it is difficult to remove the cover, the glass retainer may be pinching the threads on the studs. Slightly loosen the four (4) screws (by each of the studs). 1. Install the thermostat by connecting a low voltage millivolt thermostat to the circuit board jumper location shown below. Connect 2 x 18 gauge wires from the connection points on the back of the control board to the thermostat (see figure 38). 2. Choose a location for the thermostat, which will effectively heat the desired area. Do not install close to the unit, typical installation is 10ft - 20ft away in an open area (not hidden). 3. Review each of the three control switch positions with the consumer. REPLACEMENT OF DOOR COVER: Slide new door cover into place and hand tighten the four (4) #8 hex nuts around the inside of the glass retainer. Ensure the four screws are also hand tight and close door. Do not overtighten or you may break screws. Clean all plated surfaces before starting the stove. Refer to "Cleaning Plated Surfaces in Routine Cleaning and Maintenance in the Owner's Manual. Figure 38: Thermostat wire placement Figure 37: Inner side of door Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual 19 INSTALLATION SLIDER / DAMPER SET-UP THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION, IT IS USED TO REGULATE THE AIRFLOW THROUGH THE PELLET STOVE. A Qualified Service Technician or Installer must set the Slider Damper. The slider damper is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove and is located behind the left cab side (refer to Figure 39). The door must be open for the cab side to be removed on all models. On freestanding model loosen the two T-20 torx screws, one above and one below hinge, swing open left panel to access. On insert model remove the two (2) T-20 torx screws on the front, one above and one below hinge, and the one T-20 at the top of the cab side under the top front. The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to understand the characteristics of the fire. · A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air Open slider (pull out) slightly. · A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air Close slider (push in) slightly. · If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the air is set for proper operation. The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by the heat output button. This blower will decrease the vacuum pressure inside the stove and as the heat output button is turned down. The vacuum pressure inside the firebox will increase as the combustion exhaust blower increases in speed (higher heat output setting). If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox. If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider damper must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives the fire more air. Figure 40: Efficient Flame Exhaust Blower Exhaust Channel Slider Damper Note: Some parts have been removed in order to see components more clearly. Figure 39: Slider / Damper Figure 41: Hole for Pressure test with Magnehelic Gauge SPECIAL NOTES: Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate. If the pellets have a high moisture content or ash content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers (hard ash build-up). Taking a reading of vacuum pressure inside the firebox with a magnehelic gauge can be used to set the slider for best combustion. The slider damper should be set only on a hot stove (operating for thirty (30) minutes or more) by placing a Magnahelic Pressure Gauge in the firebox. The reading can be taken from the " (3 mm) hole located in the front of the firebox under the door (see Figure 41). The best settings are a reading of approximately 0.1" to 0.12" of water column on the high fire setting. Some fuels may require higher or lower settings. 20 Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ'S DO NOT: · Service the stove with wet hands. The stove is an electrical appliance, which may cause a shock hazard if handled improperly. · Only qualified technicians should deal with possible internal electrical failures. · Do not attempt to remove or loosen any screws from inside the firebox without applying penetrating oil (ie. WD40) to any of the screws. WHAT TO DO IF: 1. The stove will not start. 2. The stove will not operate when hot. 3. The exhaust blower will not function normally. 4. Light # 2 on Heat output bar flashing. 5. Auger light flashes but auger motor does not turn at all 6. The 200 °F (93 °C) high limit temperature sensor has tripped. 7. The convection blower will not function normally. 8. Ignitor- the pellets will not light. 9. Control settings (Heat Level) has no effect on the fire. 10. The stove keeps going out. *NOTE: All troubleshooting procedures should be carried out by qualified technicians or installers. 1. The stove will not start. Make sure the stove is plugged in and the wall outlet is supplying power. If the Control Board has been placed in the ON /OFF thermostat mode, then turn the thermostat up to call for heat. Ensure the burn pot liner is correctly placed in the burn pot. Check the Heat Level Indicator. - If the # 2 light is flashing, see the # 2 light is flashing. Check the fuse on the circuit board. If the unit still does not start, contact your local service dealer for service. 2. The stove will not operate when hot. Check the Heat Level Indicator if a fire is not detected, or if the fire has gone out the #3 light will flash because the Exhaust Temperature Sensor's contacts have opened. Check the hopper for fuel. Incorrect air damper setting. - Excessive air may consume the fire too quickly before the next drop of fuel, leaving completely unburned fuel in the burn pot liner. - Insufficient air will cause build up, further restricting the air flow through the Burn Pot Liner. This in turn will cause the fuel to burn cold and very slowly. Fuel may build up and smother the fire. In this case clean the burn pot. (NOTE: unit may require a change to the vent system or installation of fresh air to correct Air to Fuel ratio problems). Combustion Blower failure. - The Combustion Blower is not turning fast enough to generate the proper vacuum in the fire box. Visual Check is the blower motor turning. Check the Exhaust Blower voltage across the blower wires (>=114 V on #5 setting and >= 82 on #1 setting). Replace the Circuit Board if the Voltage reading is less than 82 V. with a line voltage >115 V AC. Check Vacuum levels in the exhaust channel by bypassing the Vacuum Switch, then remove the Vacuum hose from Vacuum Switch. Check exhaust vacuum readings by placing the open end of the Vacuum Hose on a Magnahelic Gauge (readings must be above .10" W.C. on low fire). If the motor fails to reach a 0.10" W.C. readings, then replace the Combustion Blower. Poor Quality Fuel Insufficient energy in the fuel to produce enough heat to keep the stove burning or operational. Exhaust Temperature Sensor failure. Bypass sensor located on Exhaust Blower. If stove now operates properly, the unit may require cleaning or a new sensor. Contact your local dealer for service. Check the fuse on the circuit board. 3. The exhaust blower will not function normally. Open the left side access panel; check all connections against the wiring diagram. See "2. The stove will not operate when hot." section. 4. Light # 2 on Heat output bar flashing (The Vacuum Switch contacts have opened for more than 15 sec.) Pinch, break or blockage in Vacuum Hose - Check hose for pinch points or damage, replace or re-route as required. Blow out Vacuum Hose Blocked Hose Barb on Exhaust Channel - Use a paper clip to clean out Hose Barb or remove the Vacuum Hose from the Vacuum Switch and blow into the hose to remove blockage. Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual 21 TROUBLESHOOTING Blocked exhaust / venting system - Have stove and venting cleaned and inspected. Severe negative pressure in area where unit is installed - Check the operation by opening a window, does this solve the problem? If it does, install fresh air intake to unit or room. Venting system may require vertical section to move termination into a low pressure zone. Vacuum Switch failure - Bypass the vacuum switch, if this corrects the problem check for above problems before replacing the Vacuum Switch. Damage to gray wires between Circuit Board and Vacuum Switch - Inspect wires and connectors Combustion Blower failure - The Combustion Blower is not turning fast enough to generate the proper vacuum in the Exhaust Channel. Visual Check; is the blower motor turning? Check the Exhaust Blower voltage across the blower wires (>=114 V on #5 setting and >= 82 V on #1 setting). Replace the Circuit Board if the Voltage reading is less than 82 V. with a line voltage >114 V AC. Check Vacuum levels in the exhaust channel by bypassing the vacuum switch, then remove the Vacuum hose from Vacuum Switch. Check exhaust vacuum readings by placing the open end of the Vacuum Hose on a Magnahelic Gauge. (readings must be above .10" W.C. on low fire). If the motor fails to reach a 0.10" W.C. readings, then replace the Combustion Blower To reset Circuit Board after a trouble code - push the ON/OFF button 5. Auger light flashes but auger motor does not turn at all. If the Auger gear box does not turn but the motor's armature does try to spin then the auger is jammed. Try to break apart jam by poking at the jam through the drop tube. If this fails then empty the hopper and remove the Auger Cover **Remember to re-seal the cover after installation** Check the fuse on the circuit board. 6. Light #4 200°F ( 93°C) high limit temperature sensor has tripped. Reset sensor and determine cause was it Convection Blower failure or 160 °F ( 71 °C) Temperature Sensor failure? Bypass the 160 °F ( 71 °C) sensor, does the Convection blower come on high? If not, replace the blower. If yes, replace sensor (located on the left side of the firewall). Check the fuse on the circuit board. 7. The convection blower will not function normally. Clean all grill openings at the back and below unit . Press the fan button; does the fan come on? Press again to verify that the blower turns on; if, not contact your local dealer for service. 8. Ignitor- the pellets will not light. Everything else in the stove operates but the ignitor will not light the pellets. Make sure the burn pot liner is up tight and square to the ignitor tube by pushing the burn pot back against the ignitor tube. Check to see if the exhaust blower is operating. If not, contact your local dealer for service. Check the fuse on the circuit board. NOTE: The ignitor should be bright orange in color. If not replace the ignitor. 9. Control settings (Heat Level) has no effect on the fire. NOTE: If the system light is flashing the Control Board has complete control of the unit. When the units system light becomes solid then control of the unit is given back to the operator. If there is no control of the Heat Level button make sure the thermostat is calling for heat. Call your local dealer for service. 10. The stove keeps going out. If the stove goes out and leaves fresh unburned pellets or cigarette-like ashes in the burn pot liner, the fire is going out before the stove shuts off. Check to see that the Slider / Damper is in the correct position. Turn the Heat Level up slightly (poor quality pellets will require slightly higher settings). Set the auger trim till the #1 and #5 lights are illuminated. If the stove goes out and there are partially burned pellets left in the burn pot liner, the stove has shut down due to a lack of air, exhaust temperature, or power failure. Adjust the Slider / Damper. Check to see if the stove needs a more complete cleaning. Did the power go out? Contact your local Dealer for service. 22 Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING DIAGRAM 120 °F Exhaust Temperature Sensor N/O Brown Brown Convection Temperature Switch N/O 160 °F Purple Black Blue 120 V Grounded Connector Ground Green Combustion Blower White Grey Grey Vacuum Switch Centre Post Un-used Red White White White Ignitor Thermostat White Black 5 Amp Fuse White Yellow Auger Motor Red Black Yellow White Blue Brown Brown Purple Grey Grey Orange Orange Connect Thermostat Here Convection Blower White Purple High Limit Temperature Switch 200 °F N/C Greenfire Pellet Stove and Insert Technical Manual 23 PARTS LIST PARTS LIST & COMPONENTS Part # Description 1) GF55-001 2) GF55-002 3) GF55-003 4) GF55-004 5) GF55-093 GF55-006 GF55-007 GF55-094 6) GF55-009 7) GF55-010 8) GF55-011 9) GF55-012 GF55-013 GF55-014 GF55-015 GF55-016 GF55-017 GF55-018 GF55-019 GF55-020 GF55-021 10) GF55-022 GF55-034 GF55-023 GF55-025 GF55-026 GF55-027 11) GF55-028 12) GF55-029 GF55-033 GF55-036 13) GF55-037 14) GF55-038 GF55-039 Auger Motor 115V 1 Rpm Combustion Blower Motor Only 115V Convection Blower 115V Ignitor 300 Watt 115V Circuit Board W/Tstat Switch 115V Circuit Board Fuse (Set 2) Circuit Board Wire Harness Circuit Board Control Panel Decal 120 Ceramic Exhaust Temp Sensor 160 Ceramic Convection Fan Sensor 200 High Limit Sensor Manual Reset Vacuum Switch 115V Silicone Hose Gasket Convection Blower Mtng Gasket Combustion Blower Assembly Mtng Gasket Combustion Blower Motor Mtng Gasket Exhaust Starter Tube Tape Window Channel 72 In.
