INSTALLATION Installation Overview When choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of factors that should be taken into account before beginning the installation. 1. Traffic Patterns – To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed in a location where it is out of the way of normal travel through the home. 2. Heat Flow – When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way heat moves throughout your home.

INSTALLATION Venting Introduction This pellet stove operates on a negative draft system, which pulls combustion air through the burn pot and pushes the exhaust air through the vent pipe and out of the building. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing the stove in accordance with the details listed here can result in poor stove performance, property damage, bodily injury or death.
INSTALLATION Additional Venting Information Do not mix and match components from different pipe manufacturers when assembling your venting system (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one manufacturer and a thimble from another). We require a minimum vertical rise of 36 in. (3 ft.) of pipe to create natural draft in the system, which helps evacuate smoke from the stove in the event of a power failure or combustion blower failure. Venting systems 15.0 ft.
INSTALLATION Approved Venting Method 1: Through the Wall For high altitude installations (above 4,000 ft.), the vent pipe should be increased from 3‐inch (3”) to four‐inch (4”). Generally the simplest installation method, venting through the wall using our AC‐3000 kit, AC‐33000 if Canada (or similar venting system) is also the preferred venting method.
INSTALLATION Approved Venting Method 2: Through the Ceiling For high altitude installations (above 4,000 ft.), the vent pipe should be increased from 3‐inch (3”) to four‐inch (4”). Venting through the ceiling/roof may be the only feasible venting option in some cases and is a factory recommended installation. When installing any venting system, Type L or Type PL pipe must be used and all clearances to combustibles listed by the pipe manufacturer must be strictly adhered to.
INSTALLATION Approved Venting Method 3: Existing Chimney System For high altitude installations (above 4,000 ft.), the vent pipe should be increased from 3‐inch (3”) to four‐inch (4”). Using an existing masonry or factory built chimney for venting is the only other acceptable method for venting this pellet unit. Use Type L or Type PL venting pipe until entering the existing chimney.
For high altitude installations (above 4,000 ft.), the vent pipe should be increased from 3‐inch (3”) to four‐inch (4”). INSTALLATION Mobile Home Installation The England’s Stove Works, Inc. outside air kit MUST be used for installation of this unit in a mobile home. Please see the “Outside Air” section on page 15 for more information regarding outside air connections. The outside air inlet must be kept clear of leaves, ice and other debris.

OUTSIDE AIR HOOK‐UP The use of outside combustion air is mandatory on this pellet stove. The outside air connection pipe protrudes from the lower rear center of the stove; use the included outside air kit to attach your stove to outside combustion air. Instructions and all the parts needed to make the outside air connection to your pellet stove are included with the outside air kit.
FLOOR PROTECTION This pellet stove requires a non‐combustible floor protector if the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor. If the floor the stove is to be installed on is already non‐combustible (i.e. a concrete floor in a basement) and has an R value equal to or higher than .2, no floor protection is needed (although a decorative floor protector can still be used for aesthetic reasons).
DAILY OPERATION Getting Started Check to see that the hopper is clean and free from foreign materials. Be sure to connect this unit to a working outlet; we recommend using a surge protector to help protect the electronic components from damage. BEFORE your first fire, dry run your unit (no pellet fuel in the hopper) for twenty minutes; pressing the “ON” button with the unit plugged in will initiate the dry run.
The fuel feed rate and combustion air during start‐up is determined by the control board, so the stove may be started on any heat range. After approximately fifteen minutes, the fire should be burning brightly and the “S U” should disappear from the control board. At this point, the stove has begun normal operation and the display windows on the control board will remain empty, unless the Heat Range or Blower Speed is adjusted.
CONTROL BOARD SETTINGS The control board on this stove allows the user to adjust the heat output and convection blower speed, turn the unit on and off, and test components for function (more on diagnostic mode later). The lower buttons on the control board (Low Fuel Feed, Low Burn Air, and Air on Temp) are not meant to be adjusted during normal operation of the unit. These buttons are factory preset and should not be adjusted by the user.
ERROR CODES Error codes, or “E‐Codes,” are alphanumeric codes that will appear in the Heat Range and Blower Speed windows of the Control Board if the unit experiences an abnormal condition. Error codes are the control board’s way of telling the user that something isn’t operating correctly within the stove, and that the unit should be carefully inspected before reigniting. See the “Trouble‐Shooting Guide,” page 32, for additional information on error codes.
POWER FAILURE If the power to the unit is interrupted for approximately three minutes or less, the unit will resume operation when power is restored according to the following table: Unit’s State Before Power Loss State When Power Returns ON Start‐Up Start‐Up Start‐Up Shut‐Down Shut‐Down OFF OFF If the power is interrupted for more than (approximately) three minutes, the unit will be “OFF” when power returns. IMPORTANT – Do NOT open the hopper lid or the door to the unit during power outage.
THERMOSTAT OPERATION Thermostat Installation 1. Unplug the unit and remove the back panel of the stove, using a 5/16” wrench. 2. Locate the thermostat connect block, labeled J18, on the rear of the control board, near the bottom (See image below and pg. 40 of this manual for a control board diagram). It will have a small wire “jumper” installed in it from the factory. This jumper bypasses the thermostat and should be saved. 3.
Thermostat Operation Details The 25‐IP was designed to operate equally well in both manual and thermostat mode. While using the control board for heating control gives the user control over the heat output of the stove, the thermostat allows the stove to “start‐up” and “shutdown” independently, which will help maintain your house at a more constant temperature and save pellet fuel.
*Failure to properly clean your stove can cause poor performance and possibly a burn back!* DAILY MAINTENANCE Disposal of Ashes – Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
Use a long handled screwdriver or putty knife to remove any deposits left in the burn pot, being careful to remove them from the burn pot and not allow them to filter down into the cradle area. Excessive ash build‐up in the cradle can cause poor stove performance (See “Cleaning the Burn pot,” below). Pull the ash pan latches out and turn, then slide the ash pan out of the stove.
BI‐WEEKLY MAINTENANCE Baffle Removal As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF,” has completed the Shut‐Down cycle, and is completely cool BEFORE beginning. Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire has gone out and EVEN after the Shut‐Down cycle is complete. Always use extreme caution when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think they should be cold.
Monthly maintenance should include the steps listed in this section AS WELL AS the steps listed in the “Daily Maintenance” and “Bi‐weekly Maintenance” section. Intervals between monthly cleanings will depend on the duration that the stove is burning on a daily basis. A stove which is operated continuously will need more frequent monthly cleanings than a stove which is used periodically as supplemental heat.
A specially designed ash vacuum and pellet stove cleaning kit is available from the England’s Stove Works website; please see: http://www.englanderstoves.com/store/. Once all ash has been removed from the exhaust chamber, reinstall the cleanout port covers, using the screws previously removed. Be certain to tighten the screws down to sufficiently seal the cleanout port covers, but do not over‐tighten them, as it is possible to damage the screw.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE Important Notes As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF,” has completed the Shut‐Down cycle, and is completely cool BEFORE beginning. Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire has gone out and EVEN after the Shut‐Down cycle is complete. Always use extreme caution when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think they should be cold.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE Exhaust Blower Cleaning Although the exhaust blower and blower housing were designed to minimize ash build‐up, some fly‐ ash will still accumulate there throughout the burning season. The amount and type of ash will depend on the type of pellets and venting system, but generally this accumulation will be mild.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE Cradle Removal and Cleaning The cradle needs to be removed yearly, to be cleaned and to replace the cradle gasket. To remove the cradle: First, remove the back panel from the stove (using a 5/16” socket). Looking into the stove from the front, loosen the two bolts in the front that hold the cradle, then remove the igniter (see page 36). After the igniter is removed, finish loosening the bolts and lift the cradle out of the stove.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING CLEANING THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.
Adjusting your Hopper Lid Latches The seals around the top of the pellet hopper are important to safe and efficient operation of the unit. The latch installed on these units is designed to pull the hopper lid tight against this seal. Over the course of operation as these seals “wear in” and compress, the tension of the latch should be tested periodically, and adjusted if necessary. To adjust the lid latch, the following tools will be needed: two ½” wrenches, or a ½” wrench and a ½” socket.
DOOR LATCH The door latch uses a removable handle. This handle can be found in the owner’s manual packet. The handle should be stored inside the front panel in the very bottom shelf. The latch can be adjusted by loosening the screws and moving the plate forward/backward as needed. If the hook should need to be replaced, use a 5/32” allen wrench to loosen the bolt going through the hook. Remove the assembly, using care not to lose the spacer collars.
FIBERBOARD To remove the fiberboard: Remove the air wash bar, located on top of the cradle. Remove the burn pot. Using a 5/16” socket, remove the screw and washer that hold the fiberboard in place. Remove the board by pulling one side out first. Put new board in, using the reverse of the above. BE CAREFUL not to over‐tighten the screw. PANELS The panels are designed with venting holes to release some of the heat coming off the stove; however, the panels will get hot during operation.
