Hearth & Home Technologies is recalling approximately 2,000 Quadra-Fire Mt. Vernon E2 pellet stoves and inserts because fuel can back up inside the firebox. This creates unstable combustion and pressure build-up that can cause the glass viewing window to break. The firm has received eight reports of the glass breaking, though no injuries have been reported. These units were sold at stove stores nationwide from February 2014 through January 2015 for about $4,000. Consumers should immediately stop using the units and contact their retailer for a free installation of an enhanced control board.
Excess fuel buildup can cause high-pressure combustion inside the firebox, which may shatter the glass viewing door. Broken glass poses a serious laceration hazard to anyone nearby.
Consumers should stop using the unit, turn the small blue dial on the stove or insert to the -4 position and follow the daily maintenance requirements in the owner's manual. They should contact the retailer where the unit was purchased to arrange for free installation of an enhanced control board. The firm's dealers are contacting known purchasers.
