OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

a. Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
b. If you notice a smoldering fi re (burnpot full but no visible fl ame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in fi rebox, immedi-
ately TURN OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it. Do not open the door, change the damper setting or tamper
with any controls on the stove. Wait until fi rebox clears, and blowers shut down, do as instructed in "PRE-START-UP
CHECK" and "BUILDING A FIRE", then attempt to restart the fi re. If the problem persists contact your dealer.
c. WARNING: DO NOT ADD PELLETS TO THE BURNPOT BY HAND AT ANY TIME, A DANGEROUS CONDITION
COULD RESULT.
d. WARNING: DURING THE START UP CYCLE; 1) DO NOT OPEN THE VIEWING DOOR; 2) DO NOT OPEN THE
DAMPER MORE THAN ¼"; 3) DO NOT USE THE FUEL FEED BUTTON (UNLESS PRIMING THE AUGER AFTER
RUNNING OUT OF PELLETS). A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RESULT.
e. Pellets should be stored in a dry place. The pellets should not be stored within 12" of the stove.
f. DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR US Stove
STOVE. NEVER USE A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
g. WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause serious damage to your stove and void your warranty.
It also may create a fi re hazard in your home. IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE
OVERFIRING. Immediately press the "POWER" switch on the control panel.
h. KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES, TOYS,
ETC. AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
i. Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the fi re for the combustion process.
Modern houses are often so well insulated that it may become necessary to open a window slightly or install an outside
air vent to provide suffi cient combustion air.
j. Since heating with a solid fuel is potentially hazardous, even with a well made and thoroughly tested stove, it would be
wise to install strategically placed smoke detectors and have a fi re extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit.
k. Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, ineffi cient burn and could allow smoke
spillage or sparks to escape.
l. Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove's operation.
m. Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.
n. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed,
cracked or broken.
o. If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is
possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make
the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time
(i.e. during the summer months).
p. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS AND NEVER CLEAN WHEN HEATER IS HOT.
q. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifi cations can result in permanent damage to the
heater.
r. This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regula-
tions to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in
this manual.
