• Do not operate stove if you smell smoke coming from it. Turn it off, monitor it, and call your dealer.
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while in use.
• Never block free airow through the open vents of the stove.
• Keep foreign objects out of hopper.
• The stove will not operate during a power outage. If an outage does occur, check the stove for smoke
spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into the room.
• Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance or repairs on the stove.
• NOTE: Turning the stove “off” does not disconnect all power from the stove.
• During the start-up period; 1) DO NOT open the viewing door, 2) DO NOT open the damper more than 1/4,”
3) DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by hand, 4) DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming
the auger after running out of pellets) as a dangerous condition could result.
• Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction. Turn the stove off, periodically inspect it, and call your
dealer.
• Contact your local building ofcials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or
inspection requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this stove, as well.
• This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a house re. The instructions must be strictly
adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the installation.
• Your stove requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead to smoke
spillage.
• This stove must be connected to a standard 120V., 60HZ grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an adapter
plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or over the stove.
• The exhaust system should be checked, at a minimum, at least twice a year for any build up of soot or
creosote.
• Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions are given in this manual. All other work
should be done by a trained technician.
• Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions that you
will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.
• Do not place clothing or other ammable items on or near the stove.
• The viewing door must be closed and latched during operation.
• Do not operate the stove if the ame becomes dark and sooty or if the burnpot overlls with pellets. Turn the
stove off, periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.
• Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Educate
all children of the danger of a high temperature stove. Young children should be supervised when they are
in the same room as the stove.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and NEVER clean the heater when hot.
• If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the
unit, this could possibly cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels. One of the sensors
could, then, make the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in
use for extended amounts of time (i.e. during summer months.)
• The exhaust system must be completely airtight and properly installed. The pellet vent joints must be sealed
with RTV 500oF (260oC) silicone sealant, and with UL-181-AP foil tape.
• Allow the stove to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a steel
container with a tight lid and placed on a non-combustible surface well away from the home structure.
• This stove is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this
heater will void the warranty and safety listing.
