Our commitment to safety
WiseWay pellet stoves are constructed with the utmost care and precision and designs comply with national
safety standards. However, personal safety begins with good fire management.
The temperatures of surfaces in and around a fire can become extremely hot during operation. It is essential
to monitor traffic around a WiseWay product to prevent burns and to protect the overall safety of your home
and loved ones.
Tips for safe operation
•Always read and follow the instructions for the safe use and maintenance of your WiseWay product.
•Surfaces on stoves get EXTREMELY HOT!
•Surfaces around the fire can stay very hot for long periods of time after operation has ended. Be
aware that surfaces may stay hot even if the product is not operating.
•Never leave young children or pets alone when operating a WiseWay product.
•Educate your family about fire safety before you begin operating a new WiseWay product.
•Never block free airflow through the open vents of the stove.
•Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the stove.
•Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
•This stove is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in
this heater is prohibited.

smoke spillage in your home.

USING THE CORRECT FUEL
•This stove is designated for burning pelletized wood
fuel only. Pellet of 6.35 mm (1/4 in) in diameter and
approximately 25.4 mm (1 in) long should be used.
•Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted.
•DO NOT block the fresh air intake ports – this will seriously
affect the performance of the stove.
LIGHTING
•This stove feeds pellets at a preset rate, adding fuel by hand
or burning fuel other than pellets will not increase heat
output but may seriously impair the stove performance.
•DO NOT burn wet pellets or pellets that have been
previously opened and stored in the elements. The pellets
may have absorbed some moisture resulting in poor
performance from the stove. Storing pellets in an air tight
container is recommended.
•Stove performance depends heavily on the quality of your
pellet fuel. Avoid the use of pellets which is excess fines,
with binder and high ash content.
Helpful hint
When installing your stove, an all vertical stove pipe, straight up and
through the roof is best. This will insure a good upward draft that all
stoves need to operate. The more twists and turns you have in stove
piping the more it will restrict the draft, this is true for all stoves.
IMPORTANT: It is important for the stove pipe to extend to at least
as high as the highest point of your roof.
CAUTION : Don’t place fuel within space heater installation
clearances or witin the space required for charding and ash removal

LIGHTING PROCEEDURES:
You will need a hand held propane torch to ignite your stove. We recommend a
high quality propane torch with a squeeze trigger ignition system.
• Remove hopper lid. Make sure feed door is in the closed position inside of
the hopper.
• Add desirable amount of pellets to the hopper.
• Make sure front dampener is in the all the way closed position (holes
should be blocked)
• Inspect primary burn chamber, secondary burn plate and ashtray for soot
build up and cleanliness. Perform any maintenance required.
•Reinstall primary burn chamber, secondary burn plate and ashtray.
•Remove primary burn chamber end slide located on the primary burn
chamber end.
Slide cover is the top handle
•Insert lit torch into the primary burn chamber and let run for one minute,
this will help start the necessary draft that all stoves need to operate
and will speed the ignition process.
•Slide the feed door open, located inside the hopper and tighten set screw.
•
Let torch run until temperature reaches 200 degrees, you can then
remove, turn off and store your torch (this should only take one or two
minutes)
•Keep the primary cover slide off until stove reaches 400 degrees

•Reinstall the primary cover slide. A drop or fluctuation in temperature
after any adjustments is normal. Wait several minutes before making
additional adjustments.
