CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals, including carbon monoxide, which are
known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
WARNING: CONTAINS LEAD. MAY BE HARMFUL IF EATEN OR CHEWED. COMPLIES WITH
FEDERAL STANDARDS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

WARNING
When using, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
• Always place heater on a level non-combustible surface.
• Operate only per manufacturers instructions.
• Keep all combustible materials at least 36 inches (66 cm) away from the heater at all times. Do not use this heater
under any overhang or near any combustible structures.
• Minimum clearance from side and back of unit to combustible materials, 36 inches (66 cm) from side and 36
inches (66 cm) from back.
• DO NOT use on wood decks. Set up this heater on a hard, non-combustible smooth level surface.
• Keep a re extinguisher on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type.
• Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other
organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively
cool oven u and exhaust hood of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining
and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot re.
• Do not attempt to touch heater during use. Use handles or knobs.
• Alert both children and elders to the hazard of high surface temperatures.
• Never leave appliance unattended. Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may
cause burns.
• Do not use accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may not be compatible
with this appliance, and may cause damage or injury.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• NEVER add cooking pellets to a hot re pot by hand. You could be seriously burned. If the hopper runs out of
pellets or your re goes out, let the heater completely cool before relighting.
• Use only wood pellets. (cooking grade or heating grade wood pellets)
• Always store wood pellets away from heat.
• NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this appliance.
Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.
• This heater is not for use indoors. Do not use inside a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• This product is not designed for commercial use.
• Beware of high winds. This can knock over heater.
• This product is not designed for tabletop use. Do not set this product on a tabletop.
• Keep appliance clean. See Proper Care and Maintenance section for cleaning.
• Do not operate this heater while under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or while fatigued.
• Do not use in the presence of explosive or ammable gases, vapor or other substances.
• Do not use this heater unless it is completely assembled and all parts are securely fastened and tightened.
• Use only identical replacement parts.
• Do not attempt to move this appliance while it is in use.
• Do not use this product for indoor heating, as toxic fumes will accumulate.
• Keep heater covered when not in use - out of the reach of children. Do not clean this product with a water
spray or the like.
GENERAL WARNINGS:

4
Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless,odorless gas from poisoning you, your family
or others.
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning; headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea,
vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry
oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or u-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity
of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or u, is
often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly,
smokers and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia or heart
disease.
Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.
WARNING
OPERATING THE HEATER:
BREAKING IN YOUR HEATER:
• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your heater, oil residue may be present on the
surfaces.
• Please follow the “Initial Lighting Instructions” to cure the paint on your heater.
• DO NOT leave your heater unattended while in use.
• DO NOT move heater when in use.
WARNING
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR PELLET HEATER.
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. SAVE THIS
MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

LIGHTING THE HEATER:
Initial Lighting Instructions (To be used on initial ring)
Push shut-off lever (inside the hopper) down, turn heat adjustment lever to low before lling hopper
with pellets. Fill the hopper around ½ full. This one-time initial ring needs to be done to cure the
paint on the unit. Put the heat adjustment lever on the LOW setting to limit the number of pellets in
the repot for the entire initial burn period. Having the heat adjustment lever on the HIGH setting on
initial ring will result in very high temperatures and potentially damage your heater and voiding your
warranty. Pull the shut off lever (inside the hopper) up and lock in place. Light the pellets and let it burn
through all the pellets and allow the heater to cool down. You are now free to use the heater according
to the remainder of these instructions. These initial lighting instructions allow the high temperature
paint to cure properly. When curing, the paint will give off some smoke and this will happen for the rst
15 minutes.
5
OPERATING THE HEATER:
1. Make sure your heater has been assembled properly.
2. Push the shut-off lever down (inside pellet hopper).
3. Fill hopper with pellets. The pellets will not fall into the repot at this point since the shut-off
lever is closed.
4. Open the door and make sure the heat baffle is centered around the repot
5. Pull the shut-off lever up and lock in place (inside pellet hopper). This will allow pellets to fall into
repot.
6. Squirt a small amount lighter uid or gel onto the pellets and ignite with a butane lighter or match
and close the door.
7. Once the pellets have caught re after 5 minutes or so you can put the heat adjustment lever in
the High or Low setting.
8. Keep the door closed when using the heater. If the door is open, the heater will lose its draft and
the pellets will not burn properly.
9. Occasionally operate the ash clean-out handle to allow ash to drop into ash tray.
10. After several hours of use you may have excess pellets piled up at the bottom of the chute. If this
happens, you will need to pull and push the ash clean-out lever, which is located in the back of
the pellet heater, several times and/or use the ash clean-out tool to rake the pellets towards the
front of the repot. This only needs to be done after several hours of use to ensure maximum heat
output.

PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:
• Remove wood pellets from hopper if heater will not be used for a long period of time. Wood pellets
can become soggy due to moisture/humidity and clog up the repot and pellet chute.
• Disposal of ashes – Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-tting lid. 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. When the ashes are disposed by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
• To protect your heater from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times
when not in use.
• Clean inside and outside of heater by wiping off with a damp cloth. Rust spots on the interior
surface can be buffed, cleaned, and sprayed with a high temperature paint. Soot buildup on the
glass can easily be wiped off.
• Depending on use, periodically remove the repot and baffle to clean the ash from in and around
the re pot. A shop-vac is handy for this chore. Make sure the heater is cold before starting this
procedure.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors
and liquids.
• For peak performance of your heater, perform these checks at least twice per year or after
extended periods of storage.
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
BEFORE STORING YOUR HEATER:
• Clean all surfaces.
• If storing the heater outdoors, cover the heater for protection from the weather.
• If the heater is stored outside during the rainy season, care should be taken to ensure that water does
not get into the pellet hopper. Wood pellets, when wet, expand greatly and will jam inside the hopper
and chute.
• Never move a heater when it is hot.
• Never store ammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the heater.
