SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke com-
ing from it. Turn it off, monitor it, and call your
dealer.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fl uid, or similar liquids
to start or "freshen up" a fi re in this stove. Keep all
such liquids well away from the stove while in use.
Never block free airfl ow through the open vents of
the stove.
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
The stove will not operate during a power outage.
If an outage does occur, check the stove for smoke
spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into
the room.
Disconnect the power cord before performing any
maintenance or repairs on the stove.
NOTE: Turning the stove "off" does not disconnect
all power from the stove.
During the start up period; 1) DO NOT open the
viewing door; 2) DO NOT open the damper more
than ¼"; 3) DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by
hand; 4) DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (un-
less you are priming the auger after running out of
pellets) as a dangerous condition could result.
Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunc-
tion. Turn the stove off, periodically inspect it, and
call your dealer.
Contact your local building offi cials to obtain a per-
mit and information on any installation restrictions
or inspection requirements in your area. Notify
your insurance company of this stove as well.
This unit must be properly installed to prevent the
possibility of a house fi re. The instructions must be
strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods
or compromise in the installation.
Your stove requires periodic maintenance and
cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead
to smoke spillage in your home.
This stove must be connected to a standard 120
V., 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an
adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not
route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or
over the stove.
The exhaust system should be checked, at a mini-
mum, at least twice a year for any build up of soot
or creosote.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove
unless instructions are given in this manual. All other
work should be done by a trained technician.
Do not throw this manual away. This manual has
important operating and maintenance instructions
that you will need at a later time. Always follow the
instructions in this manual.
Do not place clothing or other fl ammable items on or
near the stove.
The viewing door must be closed and latched during
operation.
Do not operate the stove if the fl ame becomes dark
and sooty or if the burnpot overfi lls with pellets. Turn
the stove off, periodically inspect it, and call your
dealer.
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and
furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Edu-
cate all children of the danger of a high temperature
stove. Young children should be supervised when
they are in the same room as the stove.
If the stove is installed in a room without air condi-
tioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine
on the unit, it is possible this can cause the tempera-
ture 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).
The exhaust system must be completely airtight
and properly installed. The pellet vent joints must
be sealed with RTV 500°F (260°C) silicone sealant,
and with UL-181-AP foil tape.
Allow the stove to cool before carrying out any main-
tenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a
metal container with a tight lid and placed on a no
combustible surface well away from the home struc-
ture.
This stove is designed and approved for pelletized
wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this
heater will void the warranty and safety listing.
When installed in a mobile home, the stove must be
bolted to the fl oor, have outside air, and NOT BE
INSTALLED IN A BEDROOM (Per H.U.D. require-
ments). Check with local building offi cials.
US Stove Hearth Products grants no warranty,
implied or stated, for the installation or mainte-
nance of your stove, and assumes no responsi-
bility of any consequential damage(s).
