1) Check local installation codes for your area. Call your Homeowner's Insurance
representative for inspection of your stove's installation.
2) Read and comply with the instructions in this manual.
3) This stove is designed to burn Premium Wood Pellets only. Burning pea coal,
cherry pits or anything other than wood pellets will void your warranty. Pel-
lets with high ash content will not burn clean and will require the unit to be
cleaned more often. This unit is designed for use with 6mm (1/4 in) diameter
pellet fuel. Using pellets longer than 50 mm (2 in) can bind the auger and
require frequent manual removal.
4) Be sure your pellets are not damp or wet. Keep sawdust out of the unit.
5) Use 76mm (3 in) UL approved Pellet Vent Twist-Lock Pipe when installing
this stove and follow the manufacturer's specifications for installation and
clearances. Even though this pipe interlocks, it is recommended to seal all con-
nections with high temperature silicone. Use at least three screws to secure
the pipe to this unit's exhaust blower. If you do not use UL approved twist-lock
pellet pipe, be sure to use UL approved pellet vent pipe and fasten each joint
with at least three screws.
6) Outside combustion air is mandatory for this unit to work properly. Make this
connection using 48mm (1- 7/8 in) ID metal pipe and coupler. Be sure to
secure the pipe to the unit with a clamp. The outside end should be covered
(screened) to prevent any foreign matter from entering the system. Try to
keep the number of bends in this pipe to a minimum.
7) Regularly inspect the burn pot area and if any crust forms, remove it with a
poker.
8) The ash in the burn pot should be removed regularly depending on the burn
rate. Keep the air holes of the burn pot clean for a more efficient burning.
Check your exhaust system frequently.
9) Keep pellets and all other combustible materials at a safe distance from
the unit.
10) This unit requires floor protection if installed on a combustible surface. The
minimum floor protection should give at least 152mm (6 in) of protection at
the rear, and 101 mm (4 in) on each sides and 152mm (6 in) minimum at the
front of the unit.
