Combustible; Proper Fuel; Where To Store Bags Of Pellets - Enerzone Euromax EP00070 Installation And Operation Manual

Although the stove may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate
temperature, this stove must serve as a supplementary heat source. You should have a
conventional oil, gas or electric additional heating system to provide heating in the home. The
manufacturer cannot be responsible for additional heating costs associated with the use of an
alternative heat source in case of stove failure or power outage.
Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors: Proper stove size, stove
location, heating area, house layout, insulation and your climate zone.

5.2 Combustible

5.2.1 Proper Fuel

Each type of pellet has its properties and will burn differently. The amount of ashes produced
can also vary greatly. Conventional pellets are those ¼" or 5/16" in diameter and not over 1"
long. Longer or thicker pellets will prevent proper pellet feed.
For example, if the pellets are very short, they will have more ease to accumulate and pile
into the feed screws. Thus, the volume of pellets will be denser, which will lead to an increase
in BTU. By contrast, longer pellets will pile less so the BTU will be reduced.
The bottom-feed system of this stove is designed and tested specifically for use with wood
pellets.
WARNING: BURNING OTHER TYPES OF PELLETS IS PROHIBITED. IT VIOLATES THE
BUILDING CODES FOR WHICH THE STOVE HAS BEEN APPROVED AND WILL VOID
THE WARRANTY.

5.2.2 Where to Store Bags of Pellets

We recommend that you store your bags of pellets in a dry and well ventilated area if
possible. Using dry pellets will increase the performance of your stove. You may want to have
a bag or two in the same room as your stove for refueling but make sure to respect the
minimum clearances to combustible materials and the space required for refilling and ash
removal.
