Outside Air Connection; Mobile Home - CASTLE Serenity Manuel De L'utilisateur

OUTSIDE AIR CONNECTION

Connection from the intake pipe (2" diameter pipe in rear of
stove) to the outside of the house is REQUIRED for mobile home
installation. It is recommended in tightly sealed homes with
exhaust fans such as kitchen or bathroom fans. This will eliminate
poor performance due to negative pressure.
Only noncombustible pipe 2" (or greater) in diameter is approved
to use for outside air connections (straight or flexible). PVC pipe is
NOT approved and should NEVER be connected to the stove.
HINT: A Castle Pellet Stove air inlet will accept automotive
exhaust pipes and couplers
If the air inlet is connected to the outside, it MUST be terminated
with a vertical 90 bend (down) or with a wind hood. Failure to do
º
so could result in a burn back during high winds blowing directly
up the air inlet during a simultaneous power failure.
Blockage, excessive length, or extra bends in the air intake pipe
will starve the stove of combustion air. A 90º bend is equivalent
in restriction to approximately 30" of straight inlet pipe.

MOBILE HOME

Installation in a mobile home should be in accordance with
the manufactured home and safety standard. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CITE: 24CFR3280.707
stating this stove must be vented to the outside. In addition to
the standard installation instructions, the following requirements
are mandatory for installation in a mobile home:
1. The stove must be permanently attached to the floor.
2. Stove must have an outside air source.
3. Stove must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of
the mobile home.
4. All vertical chimney vents must have wall supports.
5. All exhaust systems must have a spark arrestor.
6. Check with local building officials to see if other codes may
apply.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR STOVE
Your Castle Pellet Stove utilizes a vertical auger fuel feed system
that is operated by a microprocessor controlled digital circuit
board. The digital circuit board allows the vertical auger fuel
system to run in a timer based, non-continuous cycle; this cycling
allows the auger to run for a predetermined amount of time. The
auger pushes pellets up a chute located in the hopper. The pellets
will then turn and fall through another chute into the burn pot.
Your stove is equipped with an automatic ignition system that
should ignite the fuel within 3-5 minutes of pressing the On/Off
button. As pellets fill the burnpot and ignite, outside air is drawn
across the fuel and heated during the combustion process which
is then pulled across the heat exchanger by the exhaust motor or
the draft fan. As the stove reaches operating temperature, room
air is then circulated around the heat exchanger by a room air
blower, distributing warm air into the room.
The amount of heat that is produced by the stove is proportional
to the rate of fuel that is burned.
Because a forced draft pressure is required for the combustion
process inside your stove, it is extremely important that the
exhaust system be properly installed and maintained. Also, the
doors must remain closed while in operations and the seals on
the doors must be properly maintained.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR
SYSTEM.
DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
CAUTION
THE OPERATION OF EXHAUST FANS SUCH AS
BATHROOM FANS, ATTIC FANS, ETC. MIGHT STARVE
THE PELLET STOVE OF COMBUSTIBLE AIR CREATING A
NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN THE ROOM. PROVIDE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION IN THE ROOM ACCOMPANYING THE
PELLET STOVE. IF NOT, THE PRESSURE SWITCH MAY
SHUT OFF OPERATION OF THE PELLET STOVE.
THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED
HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
