of this product not included in this manual, the building codes will take precedent and must be followed.
Contact your local building inspector to obtain any necessary permits or inspection guidelines before
installing the product. (This appliance must be installed by a trained professional installer to assure
proper installation and warranty of this product) Warranty labor, parts failing due to improper
installation and shipping will not be covered if the unit is not installed by a trained installer.
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE SERVICING THIS STOVE! A power
surge protector is required. The unit must be plugged in to a grounded 110 volt 60 Hz or a 12V
DC sealed battery power source. NEVER use an "unsealed" type battery, nor operate unit on a
battery without a 12 volt 4 ampere in-line fuse on a positive line.
Always route the power cord away from the unit. Do not route cord in foot traffic areas. Do not
pinch cord under furniture. Do not add any additional length to the power cord.
This product requires simple periodic maintenance for proper operation and long life of the stove.
Read and follow the maintenance schedule closely. Do not operate with the doors or hopper
open.
The MagnuM Winchester stove models are designed, approved and tested to burn
corn/wood pellets and other Biomass fuels. The burning of other solid fuels such as cord wood
in this stove is not permitted. If you are burning fuels not approved for this appliance it will void
the warranty and no service/warranty will be allowed.
The MagnuM models will burn high ash content fuels but will require additional
maintenance/cleaning.
A working smoke detector must be installed in the same room as this product.
It is recommended that a fire extinguisher "class a-b-c" be installed close to the appliance.
Flammable or explosive liquids such as gasoline, naphtha or engine oil must NEVER be used in or
around this stove. These liquids must be stored well away from this stove as the open flame in the
burn chamber could ignite the fumes of such liquids. Do not burn garbage in this unit.
According to HUD requirements, when installed in a mobile home, this stove must be grounded
directly to the steel chassis of the mobile home and bolted to the floor.
This stove is not intended for use in commercial installations but can be used.
The moving parts of this stove are propelled by high torque electric motors. The auger can cause
severe injury to body parts that may get near them. Keep all body parts away from the auger while
the stove is plugged into an electrical outlet. These moving parts may begin moving at any time
while the stove is plugged in.
This unit must be installed on a non-combustible surface. Make sure that the unit is level.
Do not attempt internal service to the unit when it is burning and or plugged into power.
It is a good idea to burn the unit outside for a couple hours before installation to burn off any paint
or oil fumes. (Most resellers pre-burn the unit before you receive them, do not worry if your unit
looks like it has been burnt.)
IMPORTANT: It is the customer's responsibility to make sure the MagnuM appliance is installed with the
proper make up air system and the home is checked for adequate fresh air so that the appliance does not
become the fresh air source for the home.
