• THE VIEWING DOOR MUST BE CLOSED AND LATCHED AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION. THE
ASH DRAWER ACCESS PANEL MUST ALSO BE CLOSED DURING OPERATION.
• DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE IF YOU SMELL OR SEE SMOKE. TURN IT OFF, MONITOR IT AND
CALL YOUR DEALER IF NECESSARY. DO NOT UNPLUG IT. NEVER OPEN THE DOOR.
• IF YOU NOTICE A SMOLDERING FIRE (BURNPOT FULL BUT NO VISIBLE FLAME) AND A HEAVY
SMOKE BUILDUP IN FIREBOX, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE STOVE, BUT DO NOT UNPLUG IT.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR THE HOPPER LID. MAKE SURE THAT THE FRESH AIR INTAKE
SHUTTER WORKS FREELY. WAIT UNTIL SMOKE INSIDE THE FIREBOX CLEARS AND BLOWERS
SHUT DOWN. DO AS INSTRUCTED IN "EVERYDAY STARTUP" THEN ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE
STOVE. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT YOUR DEALER. NOTE THAT SMOKE BUILD-UP
DURING IGNITION MAY OCCUR. SMOKE CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE FIREBOX FOR A FEW
SECONDS JUST BEFORE THE IGNITOR IS HOT ENOUGH TO FIRE-UP THE PELLETS IN THE BURN
POT. THIS IS NORMAL. AS SOON AS THERE IS FIRE IN THE BURN POT, SMOKE WILL DISAPPEAR.
• DO NOT UNPLUG THE STOVE IF YOU SUSPECT IT IS MALFUNCTIONING. TURN IT OFF, MONITOR
IT AND CALL YOUR DEALER IF NECESSARY.
• HOPPER SHOULD ONLY CONTAIN PELLETS. HOPPER SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF ANY FOREIGN
OBJECTS AT ALL TIME TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE TO THE STOVE.
• THE STOVE WILL NOT OPERATE DURING A POWER OUTAGE. IF AN OUTAGE DOES OCCUR,
CHECK THE STOVE FOR SMOKE SPILLAGE. OPENING A WINDOW WILL PREVENT NEGATIVE
PRESSURE AND SMOKE SPILLAGE IN THE ROOM.
• MAINTAIN PROPER VENTILATION. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ADEQUATE OXYGEN IS BEING
SUPPLIED TO THE FIRE FOR PROPER COMBUSTION. DURING THE WINTER SEASON, MAKE SURE
THAT THE FRESH AIR INTAKE IS FREE OF ANY ICE, SNOW, ETC., AS THIS WILL STARVE THE FIRE
OF AIR AND PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE STOVE. MAKE SURE THE FRESH AIR
INTAKE BACKDRAFT SHUTTER WORKS FREELY.
• DURING THE FIRST FEW FIRES, YOUR STOVE WILL EMIT AN ODOR AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF
FUMES AS THE HIGH TEMPERATURE PAINT CURES OR BECOMES SEASONED TO THE METAL.
MAINTAINING SMALLER FIRES WILL MINIMIZE THIS. AVOID PLACING ITEMS ON STOVETOP
DURING THIS PERIOD TO AVOID DAMAGING THE PAINT SURFACE. MAKE SURE THE ROOM IS
WELL-VENTILATED. OPEN WINDOWS. ODORS AND FUMES RELEASED DURING THIS PROCESS
ARE UNPLEASANT BUT THEY ARE NOT TOXIC. ONCE YOU HAVE BURNED THE FIRST 40LBS OF
PELLETS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO INSPECT THE STOVE AND THE VENTING SYSTEM TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE IS NO LEAKS.
•
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL (NAPHTHA), FUEL OIL, MOTOR OIL,
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS. KEEP ALL SUCH
LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE.
