Size : Diameter between ¼" or 5/16" and not over 1"
long. Longer or thicker pellets will affect the constancy
of pellet feed.
Ash contents: Less than 1%. Ash contents more than
1% will increase maintenance frequency, combustion
problems and will increase the stove emission.
Moisture content: Wet pellets will be very hard to
ignite and will greatly affect the feeding process of the
stove. Using dry pellets will maintain the performance
of your stove.
NOTICE
Burning other types of pellets is prohibited. It
violates the building codes for which the stove
has been approved and will void the warranty.

3.2 PELLETS STORAGE
WARNING
DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN STOVE
MINIMUMCLEARANCESTOCOMBUSTIBLE.
Pellets bags should be stored in a dry and well
ventilated area, if possible. If they are to be stored
outside, remember that pellets bags are not water
tight. It is best to keep the pallet wrapper as intact as
possible and cover it with a tarp.
Having a bag or two in the same room as the stove
for refueling is a good idea. The minimum clearances
