Assembly and Installation Unpacking The PC 45 is bolted to the skid to prevent move- ment during shipping. To free the stove from the skid you must re- move the hold-down bolts in the rear of the pedestal base. Installing rear cover panels The rear cover panels are removed from the stove to make it easier to get at the hold-down bolts. The rear cover panels are packed inside the hopper and should be installed on the stove as shown. It is recommended that the rear covers are installed af

Venting #1 Preferred method This method provides excellent venting for nor- mal operation and allows the stove to be installed closest to the wall. Two inches from the wall is safe; however, four inches allows better access to remove the rear panel. The vertical portion of the vent should be three to five feet high. This vertical section will provide natural draft in the event of a power failure. 3 ft. to Fig. 12 combustibles #2 Preferred method This method also provides excellent venting for no

Venting #5 Installing into an existing fireplace chimney (US and Canada) This method provides excellent venting for nor- mal operation. This method also provides natural draft in the event of a power failure. In Canada and some places in the US it is required that the vent pipe extend all the way to the top of the chimney. In this method a cap should also be installed on the chimney to keep out rain. Be sure to use approved pellet vent pipe fittings. Seal pipe joints with silicone in addition

AUTOMATIC IGNITION/OPERATION The PC45 corn/pellet stove is more than just automatic ignition, it is also automatic temperature control. The automatic system will allow the fire size to be adjusted to match the heating needs and even put the fire out if necessary. If heat is needed after the fire is out, the PC 45 will automatically re-ignite and adjust the fire size to match the heating need. The totally automatic room sensor mode is recommended because of its efficiency. The unit can be switch

MANUAL IGNITION/OPERATION The PC45 Corn/Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the op- erator to manually control operation during an emergency (i.e. ignitor failure, when using a 502H battery backup, or when using certain generators.) The unit can be switched between "AUTO" and "MANUAL" at any time during operation. NOTE: When starting the unit in the "AUTO" mode and switching to "MANUAL", the fire must be large enough to turn the ignitor light off (located on the contro

Maintenance Removing Ashes: The frequency in which you will need to empty the ash pan will vary depending on the conditions that the stove has been operating in. For example: A stove burning on high continuously will probably need the ashes removed every 1 to 2 days, whereas a stove burning on low or cycling off periodically may be able to go 3 to 8 days or longer. Ashes should be placed in a metal con- tainer with a tight fitting lid. The closed con- tainer of ashes should be placed on a noncom
