OPTIMA PS1 PELLET STOVE 12

VENTING

Use only listed type L, PL or other suitable listed vents for pellet fuel burning

stoves. Install venting system according to the vent manufacturer’s instructions.

Strictly follow the vent manufacturer's clearances and use the proper vent

components when passing the vent through walls and ceilings. A suitable vent

termination should also be used. The performance of your pellet stove can also

be hindered by improper venting system. It is recommended that your pellet

stove be installed by a professional installer who is certified to install pellet

stoves. An improper installed and vented pellet stove can be a fire and health

hazard.

CAUTION: At no time can unlabelled parts, or substitute parts made for another venting

system be used.

Maintain the structural and vapor barrier integrity of the house when cutting holes in the walls,

ceiling and roof to suit the venting system and do any necessary framing as required by the

vent manufacturer.

NOTE: Interior vents shall be enclosed where they extend through closets, storage areas,

occupied spaces, or anyplace where the surface of the vent could be contacted by persons or

combustible materials.

The stove has a 3” diameter flue connector. Vent systems with pipes either 3” diameter or 4”

diameter (with a step up adapter) maybe used. The use of 4” diameter vent pipe system is

preferred with longer and more restrictive vent runs.

For best performance from the pellet stove, it is recommended that the total horizontal vent

runs is kept to a maximum of 10 feet. Use a maximum of two 90 elbows or equivalent and one

tee. Limit total vertical vent run to a maximum of 35 feet. This pellet stove is equipped with an

exhaust slider restrictor just upstream of the exhaust blower. The installer can use this to

balance the flow of exhaust on high draft vent configurations. This is a one time adjustment to

be done only by the installer. Loosen the 1/4” hex screw securing the slider. Push the slider in

to restrict the exhaust flow. Adjust till the stove burns properly on high and tighten the screw to

secure the slider.

The venting system of a pellet stove is pressurized. Make sure all pipe joints and connections

are air-tight to prevent the leakage of flue gas and ash. Follow the vent manufacturer’s

instructions to seal the vent system. Otherwise, apply a continuous bead of 500F (260C) high

temperature silicone sealant at the joints and securely fasten with no less than 3 sheetmetal

screws per joint or connection.

In seismically active areas, Archgard recommends that your stove be secured to the floor by

using 3” long, ¼” lag bolts in the bolt down holes on the pedestal. This is mandatory with

mobile home installations.

Do not connect this stove to a chimney serving another appliance.

Do not connect your stove to an air distribution duct.
