NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Shut Down
Normal - To turn the stove off, turn the heat selector knob to off. The
fans will continue to operate until the control board completes the shut
down cycle.
Power Outage - If the stove loses electrical power for less than 10 seconds
it will continue to operate. If the power loss is greater than 10 seconds,
the stove will go into the ignition sequence and normal operation when
the power is restored. If the stove is connected to a thermostat, the stove
will not start the ignition sequence until the thermostat calls for heat.
Paint Curing
This stove has been painted with a high temperature metallic paint. It
leaves the factory dry to the touch, but completes the curing process as
the stove is used. The paint will cure during the first few times the stove
is burned. Also some parts of the appliance may be lightly coated with
machining oil. Ventilate the house during these first firings as the paint
and oil give off carbon dioxide and unpleasant odors. It is recommended
that persons sensitive to an imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the
stove during the curing process.
Convection Blower Operation
Your Winslow™ PS40 stove comes equipped with a temperature activated
convection blower that extracts heat from the stove. After the stove warms
up, a heat activated switch will turn the fan on. The speed of the fan varies
with the burn rate of the stove. The fan will continue to extract heat after
the stove shuts off and until it is cooled down.
Operating Sounds
As the Winslow PS40 stove is burning, a number of normal operational
sounds may be heard. Pellets can be heard sliding down the auger tube
and into the Burn-Pot. Also, the motor powering the auger can be heard
as the control board calls for pellets. Occasionally a loud noise can be
heard as the auger cuts a pellet in half. When the blowers come on, the
sound of rushing air may be heard. The lower the burn rate the slower
the fan operates. Hourly, the combustion blower will blow at a high speed
to clean ash from the Burn-Pot.
Pellet Fuel
Pellet fuel is made from sawdust and scrap wood from many different
species of wood. Pellets are either 1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and vary in
length (see Fuel Specifications on Page 5). The Winslow PS40 stove will
burn either diameter pellets. Pellets made from hardwoods contain more
ash than those made from softwoods. Minerals from ash and sand in the
pellets form clinkers under the extreme temperatures in the Burn-Pot.
Try burning various brands of pellets until you find one that burns with
minimum ash and clinkers.
Once you find a pellet brand that burns well, continue using this brand.
High ash fuel increases the frequency of stove cleaning. Fuel with an
excessive moisture content may jam the auger assembly.
Corn Fuel
Shelled corn can be burned in the Winslow PS40 stove when it is mixed
with wood pellet fuel (see Fuel Specifications on Page 5). The mixture
can contain a maximum of 50 percent corn. Burning corn may create
more ash than wood pellets and may necessitate the need to clean the
Burn-Pot and glass more frequently.
CAUTIONS
INSTALLATION AND REPAIR SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED
BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
SERVICE THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF.
Avoid overfiring the stove - do not hand feed pellets to the
appliance.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or fresh up a
fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the
heater while it is in use.
For your safety, do not install or operate your Winslow PS40
stove without first reading and understanding this manual. Any
installation or operation of the appliance deviating from that
which is stated in this instruction manual WILL void the war-
ranty and may be hazardous.
Due to high temperatures, the stove should be located out of
traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies. Children
and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface
temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing
ignition. Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the Winslow PS40 stove. Clothing
or any other flammable material should not be placed on or near
the stove. Any grill, panel, or glass removed for service MUST
be replaced prior to operating the stove.
Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked,
or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a quali-
fied service technician.

any improper operation, service, or installation procedures,
whether direct or indirect.
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
