Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your Napoleon Pellet Heater has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do
not use any other type of fuel such as fi re logs or fi re starting pellet, as this will void the warranties
stated in this manual.
The performance and heat output of the pellet heater is directly related to the quality and moisture of the pel-
lets.
CAUTION: It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as
high salt content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the
warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We rec-
ommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet
type.
P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:

If the fuel does not comply to this standard the unit may not operate as designed.
