many years of dependable service. Please read entire manual before
installation and use.
BURNING PELLET FUEL
Ashes need to be removed from the stove periodically.
See Normal Care &Maintenance section for cleaning procedure.
Due to the nature of pellet fuels, this stove will require attention
periodically. Regular cleaning is an important part of burning pellet
fuel.
PELLETS
•This pellet stove is designed and approved to burn
wood pellets, that comply with pellet fuels industry standards.
Minimum of 40 lbs. density per cubic feet, 1/4 to 5/16 in diameter,
with a maximum length of 1-1/2, and less than 1% ash.
•Theperformance of your pellet stove is greatly
affected by the type and quality of wood pellets. As the heat
output of various quality wood pellets differ, so will the performance
and heat output of the pellet stove.
•Wood pellets are generally produced out of wood
waste such as sawdust and shavings. The raw material is dried,
mechanically fractioned to size and extruded into pellets under high
pressure. Wood pellets need to be protected from direct exposure
to water. Water from sources such as condensation and
humidity causes pellets to expand and break down
into unusable fuel. Keep fuel dry.
•It is important to select and use only pellets that are
dry and free from dirt and debris. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the
operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The
Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) has established standards for wood pellet
manufacturers. Only use pellets that meet or exceed PFI standards
for premium fuels.
CLINKERS
•Impurities, such as silica (clinkers), will need to be
regularly cleaned and removed from the pellet stove. Clinkers
will form a hard mass and block airflow through the pot liner. High
quality fuels will result in fewer clinkers

AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES
POWER OUTAGE
During a power outage, the stove will shut down
safely. Do not open the main door or ash door. During
a power failure the exhaust fan will not run. Keeping the doors
sealed will allow the exhaust vent to draft out naturally.
When the power is restored, the stove will not restart. If the
exhaust temperature is still 120 degrees Fahrenheit when power is
restored, the exhaust and convection fans will continue to run until
the stove cools. See lighting instructions to restart stove.
OVERHEATING
Over Fire Protection: If the stove is being
over fired or burning too hot, the high limit switches
will automatically shut down the stove to avoid damage to
components. If the temperature on the hopper reaches 200
degree Fahrenheit, the auger will automatically stop and the stove
will shut down. The exhaust fan will continue to run until the proof
of fire switch cools. Allow stove to cool before attempting to
re-ignite. See lighting instructions
