FUEL CONSIDERATIONS
Your pellet stove is designed to burn premium hardwood pellets that comply with Association of Pellet Fuel Industries
standards. (Minimum of 40 lbs density per cubic ft, 1/4” to 5/16” diameter, length no greater than 1.5”, not less than
8,200 BTU/lb, moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million). Pellets
that are soft, contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust, have been, or are wet, will result in reduced performance.
Store your pellets in a dry place. DO NOT store the fuel within the installation clearances of the unit or within the space
required for refueling and ash removal. Doing so could result in a house re.

are drawn out the chimney. Installed as instructed
this stove is designed to be as safe as possible yet
it is recommended to install a CO detector. Follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper
installation and use. It is recommended to be placed
at table-top level (not near the ceiling) to avoid false
alarms. Realize that devices other than a stove (i.e.
motor exhaust) can trigger CO alarms.
If alarm sounds:
• Recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning (headaches,
nausea & drowsiness).
• Increase ventilation (open windows & doors).
• Make sure stove doors and/or lids are closed and
secured.
• Check stove for smoking or puffing (open airflow
controls).
• Check chimney & connector pipe for leaks, blockage or
down-draft conditions.
• Check CO device for false alarm.

INSTALLATION
SAFETY NOTICE
•IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
• CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
PERMITS, RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
• USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED.
• KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.
• NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS
HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN
USE.
• IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, PUSH THE AIR CONTROL FULL CLOSED TO DEPRIVE
THE FIRE OF OXYGEN. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED
WHEN REQUIRED.
• FOR MANUFACTURED OR MOBILE HOMES, A ROOM HEATER AND IT’S CHIMNEY SHALL
NOT VOID THE FIRESTOPPING REQUIRED BETWEEN SPACES OF THE MOBILE HOME
WHEN THE ROOM HEATER AND IT’S CHIMNEY AND THE COMBUSTION AIR INLET ARE
INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the pellet stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most
efcient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the
most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood pellet stoves produce radiating heat, the
heat we feel when we are close to a wood pellet stove. A wood pellet stove also functions by convection, that is through
the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary, the hot air distribution
from the stove may be facilitated by the installation of an optional blower.
The appliance must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of heat
may occur.
This appliance must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of
re or fail to respect required clearances.

8Breckwell
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is of utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be strictly adhered to during
installation of the stove. Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by a regulatory au-
thority. Contact your local safety department or you may consult NFPA 211 if installing in the USA.
Refer to the tables below :
• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13m) in all cases.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m) of the front of the unit.
• Never store your fuel within the specied clearnaces or within the space required for refueling and
ash removal.
• The clearance between the ue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical ue
pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed
space, a oor, or a ceiling.
• For Canadian installations, where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction
is desired, the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning
Appliances and Equipment.
• A ue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a minimum clearance of 18” (457.2mm).
• To reduce ue clearances from combustible materials, contact your local safety department or
consult NFPA 211.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)
Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this
is not the case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem
with the draft. They must also be a type suitable for burning solid fuel and must be in good condition
and kept clean.
The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or
0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
Your smoke pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section (crimped end) of the pipe
faces down. Attach each of the sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws.
The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch
per foot, with the upper end of the section toward the chimney. Any installation with a horizontal
run of chimney pipe must conform to NFPA 211. You may contact NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) and request the latest edition of the NFPA Standard 211.
To insure a good draft, the total length of the coupling pipe should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04
m). (Except for cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system
can be much longer and connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room).
There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system.
Installation of a “barometric draft stabilizer” (replace register) on a smoke exhaust system is
prohibited.
Furthermore, installation of a draft damper is not recommended. Indeed, with a controlled combustion
wood stove, the draft is regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the stove and not at the exhaust.

CHIMNEY
Your appliance may be hooked up with a 6” factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a
factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CAN/ULC-S629 standard; therefore it must be
a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s
specications.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specica-
tions of the National Building Code. It must be lined with re clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed
together with re cement. (Round ues are the most efcient).
The interior diameter of the chimney ue must not be smaller than the exhaust outlet of the appli-
ance. A ue which is too small may cause draft problems, while a large ue favours rapid cooling of
the gas, and hence the build-up of creosote and the risk of chimney res. Note that it is the chimney
and not the stove which creates the draft effect; your stove’s performance is directly dependent on
an adequate draft from your chimney.
The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:
1. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
2. It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact.
3. The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10’ (3.04m) dis-
tance by a height of 2’ (0.6m).
4. Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. Indeed, the interior
chimney will, by denition, be hotter than an exterior chimney, being heated up by the ambient air
in the house. Therefore the gas which circulates will cool more slowly, thus reducing the build-up
of creosote and the risk of chimney res.
5. The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chimney.
6. Using a re screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order to insure
that it is not obstructed thus blocking the draft, and it should be cleaned when used regularly.

Breckwell 11
FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY :
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be
followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support
package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, restops (where needed), insulation shield,
roof ashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by
the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstructions
for safety and proper draft operation. Never substitute alternative materials for any of the manufac-
turer’s specied components or complete the install without using all of the required components.

12 Breckwell
MASONRY CHIMNEY :
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection As-
sociation (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose
mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is
installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chim-
ney, special methods are needed.

Breckwell 13
Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs
Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm)
minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through.
The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specica-
tion for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of
12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall
combustibles. The clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer
surface to the inner surface of the chimney ue liner but not past
the inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in place to
the chimney ue liner.
Method B. 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a 6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-
Pak chimney section with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, build
a wall pass-through with a minimum 9” (228.6 mm) air space be-
tween the outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles.
Use sheet metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all
sides, to maintain the 9” (228.6 mm) air space. When fastening
supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney liner (the
inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end of the Solid-
Pak chimney section shall be ush with the inside of the masonry
chimney ue, and sealed with a non-water soluble refractory ce-
ment. Use this cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetra-
tion.
Method C. 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024” [.61 mm]) 6” (152.4 mm)
metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall
thimble which has two air channels of 1” (25.4 mm) each, construct
a wall pass-through. There shall be a minimum 6” (152.4) mm sep-
aration area containing berglass insulation, from the outer surface
of the wall thimble to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble,
and cover its opening with a 24-gauge minimum sheet metal sup-
port. Maintain the 6” (152.4 mm) space. There should also be a
support sized to t and hold the metal chimney connector. See that
the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides.
Make sure fasteners used to secure the metal chimney connector
do not penetrate chimney ue liner.
Method D. 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least
12” (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, and an
inside diameter of 8” (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6” [152.4
mm] chimney connector). Use this as a pass-through for a mini-
mum 24-gauge single wall steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak
section concentric with and spaced 1” (25.4 mm) off the chimney
connector by way of sheet metal support plates at both ends of
chimney section. Cover opening with and support chimney sec-
tion on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal supports.
See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all
sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney ue line.
NOTES:
1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section
through the wall pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner ue liner
face.
2. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed
space, or a oor, or ceiling.

14 Breckwell
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your appliance may be installed with an outside air intake. This
type of installation is also required for Canadian installations
and in air tight houses with negative pressure problems. You
can purchase this option through your heater dealer or at your
local hardware supply store. Installation instructions should be
supplied with the air intake kit.
Outside combustion air may be required if :
1. Your appliance does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs,
fuel burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not there
is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-red equipment in the house, such as replaces
or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly,
suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur
whether or not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day allevi-
ates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and
tight tting windows and/or has any powered devices that
exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
Outside Air
Connection
“Dryer Venting Kit” Installation
If using outside combustion air, you can purchase a standard 4” Metal
Dryer Vent kit from your dealer or local hardware supply store and
install it on the rear of the appliance. The inlet tubing used must
be rigid and have a minimum material thickness of 0.016 inches.
If using a Dryer venting kit, the outlet cover must be of a design
that DOES NOT close by means of a ap or trap door. You must
purchase a style that allows a continuous in-ow of air and that has
a rodent screen.
Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions for attaching the
dryer vent kit to the home.
OPERATION
HEATING
Controlled combustion is the most efcient technique for wood pellet heating because it enables you to select
the type of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the heater air intake
control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand,
wood pellets will burn quickly if the air control is adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion
chamber. The air intake control on your heater is very simple. If you pull it out completely, it is fully open. If
you push it in until it stops, the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. Real operating conditions may give
very different results than those obtained during testing according to the overall quality of pellets used, the
average size of the pellets, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside air temperature.

OPERATION
(A): Fuel Loading Lid. Turn handle clockwise to open and expose the fuel charging system. Fill with pel-
lets and close lid. Never leave pellets in the pre-chamber during operation. Never leave the fuel
lid open during operation as this could lead to excessive burn rates or cause a potential smoke
hazard.
(B): Fuel Dump Lever. The fuel dump lever is used to dump pellets into the main fuel chamber. Dump the
pellets into fuel chamber by actuating the lever forward using the multi-tool provided. Never actuate le-
ver unless fuel loading lid is closed. Actuating lever with fuel loading lid open could, potentially,
cause a smoke hazard. Make sure the lever returns to the closed position towards the rear of the ap-
pliance. If not, actuate the lever several times, rapidly, to clear any remaining fuel in the pre-chamber.
(C): Access Panel. Open Access Panel to expose the main door latches. Release latches to perform peri-
odic maintenance like cleaning the glass, burnpot, or cleaning the rebox of yash. NEVER open door
during operation. DO NOT attempt to clean glass or empty burnpot while unit is hot.
(D): Primary Air Control. You will pull/push on the knob to adjust the combustion air entering the appliance.
(E): Ash Pan Access. Remove both knobs to access and empty ash pan. Never open the ash pan during
operation; only clean the ashes out of the appliance when the appliance is not burning and is determined
to be cool.
(F): Agitator. Push/Pull knob to agitate fuel to remove ashes or build-up from the burnpot.

THE FIRST FIRES
The rst few res in your new appliance needs to be small so as to cure the fresh paint and preserve it’s quality. To do so,
ll the pre-chamber with 1/2 charge (approximately 5-7 obs.) of premium wood pellets. Close the fuel lid and dump fuel
into main fuel chamber. Open the Viewing Door and light pellets. Close Viewing Door once the pellets have properly
ignited. Pull the primary control knob out to achieve a medium burn rate or approximately halfway out. Never open the air
control more than necessary.
Make sure that there’s enough air circulation in the area of installation while curing the appliance. The odors could be
present during the rst 3 or 4 res. We suggest opening a window during the curing process.
Never start your stove outside. You will not be able to see if you are over heating.
IGNITION
CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS
HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CON-
TACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
● Open fuel loading lid. Fill pre-chamber with pellets. Close lid and use fuel charging system to dump fuel into the main
fuel chamber. NEVER LEAVE PELLETS IN THE PRE-CHAMBER DURING OPERATION.
NOTE: DO NOT add more than 10 lbs. of pellets into the pre-chamber or more than 30 lbs. of pellets into the main
chamber at one time. Use a scoop when refueling. Never refuel directly from the bag as contact with the appliance can
potentially melt the bag.
● Open the viewing door and see that pellets have fallen into the burnpot.
● Squirt only a small amount of re starter gel or dry re starter on top of the wood pellets.
● Light the re starter and allow the pellets to ignite. (Close the viewing door and latch securely).
● Do not agitate the re during the ignition process.
There will be a transition period between startup and operational levels. As with a conventional wood stove, please allow
20 -30 minutes for stove to reach operation temperatures. During the 25 minute start up period, DO NOT agitate the re.
OPERATION
● DO NOT open viewing door during operation.
● DO NOT open ash pan during operation – make sure the ash pan is properly sealed and the ash pan access door closed.
● DO NOT actuate fuel charging system during operation unless fuel loading lid is completely closed.
When operating the agitator, be careful not to agitate too often or too much at one time. Pushing or pulling the agitator knob
approximately six (6) times should be sufcient. However, under different burn conditions or fuel quality, this number may
differ slightly. Experience burning your appliance will help you understand more of the amount to agitate during operation.
NOTE: This appliance does not have a “quick” shutdown method. Once the appliance has been charged with fuel, ignited
and burning, it will burn until all fuel has been consumed by combustion. Please note that once the re does cease, the
appliance may still be quite warm or HOT and could remain Hot for an undetermined amount of time depending on ring
conditions. Experience burning your appliance, will tell you how many pellets to put in the burn chamber in order to burn
for a desired period of time. This unit may run anywhere from 5-12 hours on a single 30lb charge depending on the air
adjustment setting and quality of fuel used.
You may use the below primary air settings as a good starting point when burning your new appliance. Please note that
these settings may vary depending on certain factors that may affect combustion.
Primary Air Settings
(Slide Damper is located on the right side of stove)
(Damper Adjustment: Pulling out on damper increases air) CAUTION:
Never alter the damper slide or the
adjustment range to increase ring for
any reason. Doing so could result in
heater damage and will void your war-
ranty.
Burn Rate Adjust Damper from fully closed
Low 1/4” (6.3mm)
Medium - Low 3/4” to 1” (19mm to 25.4mm)
Medium - High 1” to 1-1/2” (25.4mm to 38mm)
High approx. 2-11/16” (68mm)

WARNINGS
• NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED,
OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING. READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER
SETTING.
RELOADING
If you wish to continue burning your heater after the majority of the fuel has been consumed, simply add more fuel to the
main fuel chamber. When opening the fuel loading lid, leave the lid cracked open for 10 to 15 seconds prior to opening
fully, because there may be smoke present inside the pre-chamber. Allowing the majority of the fuel in the main chamber
to be consumed prior to refueling, will decrease the amount of smoke present. Fill the pre-chamber with pellets for the
desired burn time, close lid, dump fuel. Never leave fuel inside the pre-chamber! Always dump the pre-chamber’s
contents after re-fueling. Check to ensure that pellets have ignited properly and adjust air setting.
It is important to note that wood combustion consumes ambient oxygen in the room .In the case of negative pressure, it
is a good idea to allow fresh air in the room, either by opening a window slightly or by installing a fresh air intake system
on an outside wall.
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal - When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors,
which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ue
of a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot re. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the
heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re.
TO PREVENT CREOSOTE BUILD UP
• Always burn PFI certied premium grade pellets. This allows clean burns and higher chimney temperatures, therefore
less creosote deposit.
• Leave the air control full open for about 5 min. every time you refuel the appliance to bring it back to proper operating
temperatures. The secondary combustion can only take place if the rebox is hot enough.
• Always check for creosote deposit in your chimney once every two months and have your chimney cleaned at least
once a year.
If a chimney or creosote re occurs, close all dampers immediately. Wait for the re to go out and the heater to cool, then
inspect the chimney for damage. If no damage results, perform a chimney cleaning to ensure there is no more creosote
deposits remaining in the chimney.

MAINTENANCE
Your wood pellet stove is a high efciency stove however, still requires that maintenance be performed on a regular basis.
Maintenance is a vital key in maintaining your stove’s efciency, operation, and longevity. It is important to perform a visual
inspection of the appliance every time it is emptied and cleaned, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in
which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically for
creosote buildup or obstructions. Inspection should be done at least monthly during the heater season.
Secondary Air
Ports
Heat Exchange
Tubes
Surface to
be cleaned
Secondary Air Ports
Cleaning the Secondary Air Ports regularly will help
keep your heater burning clean and efciently. Re-
move any ash or creosote build-up from the ports as
frequently as needed. A simple brush with a small
chimney sweep broom once a day will help reduce or
prevent any large deposits from bonding to this surface
which could cause premature deterioration of the re-
box. Most Creosote formations here can be removed
Heat Exchanger Tubes/Fiber Board
Cleaning the Heat Exchanger Tubes on a regular basis
will help your heater continue to produce substantial
heat output for the life of your appliance. Keeping any
build-up to a minimum will allow for more heat con-
ductivity thru the tubes. Using a chimney sweep, brush
the tubes as frequently as needed being careful not to
damage the Fiber Board resting above the tubes. Al-
ways keep a check on the condition of the ber boards
to ensure there is no damage or extreme deterioration.
These will diminish over time and should be replaced
along with the gasketing of the appliance. We recom-
mend replacing once a year to ensure proper sealing
and efcient operation of the appliance.
Fuel Flowing Surface
This area of the fuel system may become coated with
creosote under certain conditions of operation and
should be removed on a regular basis. The creosote
formation leaves a sticky surface and sometimes pre-
vents the fuel from owing properly into the burnpot
area causing the re to cease. Scrapping with a 1-1/2"
putting knife or an aggressive chimney brush are the
cleaning procedures recommended and should be
done as needed or once weekly depending on ring
conditions. Removing the burnpot will aid in a easier
cleaning method.

ASH DISPOSAL/ ASH PAN AREA
Ashes should be removed from the stove approximately every 3 days or when ashes get to 2 to 3 inches deep. Always
empty the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning. Never open the ash pan during operation or an overre situation
could result. Always maintain a good seal in the ash pan. Remove any accumulated ash or fallen pellets from the ash pan
area. An Ash Vac greatly aids in this process and can be purchased from your local dealer. Ashes should be placed in a
steel container with a tight tting lid and moved outside immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a non combustible oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the close container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste shall not be placed in this container.
CAUTIONS:
• ASHES COULD CONTAIN HOT EMBERS EVEN AFTER TWO DAYS WITHOUT OPERATING THE STOVE.
• KEEP ASH PAN AREA CLEAN.
• THE ASH PAN CAN BECOME VERY HOT. WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT INJURY.
• NEVER BURN THE STOVE WITH THE ASH TRAP OPEN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN OVER FIRING THE STOVE..
DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
GLASS
• Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, schedule to replace immediately.
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken.
• If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with the glass supplied from your heater dealer. Never substitute other
materials for the glass.
• To replace the glass, remove the nuts retaining the glass clips inside the door. Remove the clips and replace the dam-
aged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backwards after replacing. When replacing the glass, you should
change the glass gasket to make sure you keep it sealed.
• Never wash the glass with abrasive cleaners or with a product that may scratch. Use a specialized product, available
in the stores where wood stoves are sold. The glass should be washed only when cold, NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT.
GASKETING
It is recommended that you check your gaskets twice a month during the heating season and change the gaskets (which
makes your stove air tight) once a year, in order to insure good control over the combustion, maximum efciency and
security. To check for a proper seal, you should do a paper slip test. Do so by taking a thin piece of paper about the size
and thickness of a dollar bill. Place the paper between the gasket and the sealing surface, then close and latch the door/
lid. You should feel a resistance when tugging on the paper slip, which may vary, but should always have resistance.
Perform this test on every side of the seal, top, bottom, left and right, if possible. If the paper slip pulls out with little or no
resistance, you need to adjust the lid/door and/or replace the gasket. To change the gaskets, simply remove the dam-
aged one, carefully clean the available gasket groove, apply a gasket cement sold for this purpose, and install the new
gasket. When installing the gasket, never stretch the gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours
after having completed this operation.
WARNING:
• NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAM-
AGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
PAINT
Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint nish. If the paint becomes scratched or damaged,
it is possible to give your wood pellet stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant paint that can
be purchased from your dealer. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with ne sand paper, clean
it properly, and apply thin coats (2) of paint successively. Remember, if paint is applied to the stove in large amounts or
over large spots, you need to follow the First Fires procedure described previously in this manual.
OFF SEASON MAINTENANCE
It is a good idea to give your stove a thorough cleaning at the end of each heating season to decrease the chances of
rust occurring during the off-season. Do this, especially, on the inside of your rebox. Wipe the outside of the appliance
with a non-abrasive cleaner (Windex) and a rag, allowing it to dry, then touch-up any spots with high temperature paint
sold by your local dealer. Spraying the inside of the rebox with a rust inhibitor instead of paint, can also help.
