This manual describes the installation and operation of the
King, KP130
pellet stove
.
• IMPORTANT: Read this entire manual before installing
and operating this product. Failure to do so may result
in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
Proper installation of this stove is crucial for safe and
efficient operation.
•
Install vent at clearances specified by the vent
manufacturer.
•
If a chimney or creosote fire occurs, press the “OFF”
button immediately. Do not unplug the unit.
• Do not connect the pellet vent to a vent serving any
other appliance or stove.
•
Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting
system of this unit.
• Use of outside air is not required for this unit.
•
Contact your local building officials to obtain a
permit and information on any additional installation
restrictions or inspection requirements in your area.
• Do not throw this manual away. This manual has
important operating and maintenance instructions
that you will need at a later time. Always follow the
instructions in this manual.
• This appliance is designed for the use of pelletized
fuel that meet or exceed the standard set by the
Pellet Fuel Institute(PFI).
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or ’freshen up’ a fire in this stove. Keep all such
liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
• A working smoke detector must be installed in the
same room as this product.
• Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction.
Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to ”OFF’ and contact your
dealer.
• Your stove requires periodic maintenance and
cleaning (see ”MAINTENANCE ”). Failure to maintain
your stove may lead to improper and/or unsafe
operation.
• Disconnect the power cord before performing any
maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to
”OFF” does not disconnect all power to the electrical
components of the stove.
• Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove
unless instructions for doing so are given in this
manual. All other work should be done by a trained
technician.
• Do not operate your stove with the viewing door
open. The auger will not feed pellets under these
circumstances and a safety concern may arise from
sparks or fumes entering the room.
• Allow the stove to cool before performing any
maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in
a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-
combustible surface or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
•
The exhaust system should be checked monthly
during the burning season for any build-up of soot or
creosote.
• Do not touch the hot surfaces of the stove. Educate
all children on the dangers of a high-temperature
stove. Young children should be supervised when
they are in the same room as the stove.
• The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation;
therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refueling your stove.
• A power surge protector is required. This unit must be
plugged into a 110 - 120V, 60 Hz grounded electrical
outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or sever the
grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord
underneath, in front of, or over the heater. Do not
route the cord in foot traffic areas or pinch the cord
under furniture.
• The heater will not operate during a power outage.
If a power outage does occur, check the heater for
smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke spills
into the room.
• The feed door must be closed and sealed during
operation.
•
Never block free airflow through the open vents of
the unit.
• Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal
– The products of combustion will contain small
particles of flyash. The flyash 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
heater 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.
• Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
• The moving parts of this stove are propelled by high
torque electric motors. Keep all body parts away from
the auger while the stove is plugged into an electrical
outlet. These moving parts may begin to move at any
time while the stove is plugged in.
•
Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or
near this stove.
• When installed in a mobile home, the stove must be
grounded directly to the steel chassis and bolted
to the floor. WARNING—THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED IN THE BEDROOM (per HUD requirements).
CAUTION—The structural integrity of the mobile home
floor, wall, and ceiling/roof must be maintained.
• This appliance is not intended for commercial use.
* This appliance is a freestanding heater. It is not intended to be attached to any type of ducting. It is not a furnace.
