Operating Instructions
A. Fire Safety
You can never be too cautious when it comes to fire
safety. Please give serious consideration to the follow-
ing:
•
Install at least one smoke detector and CO detec-
tor on each level of the home.
•
Locate detectors away from the appliance and
close to the sleeping quarters.
•
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines on placement
and installation as well as maintaining regularly.
•
Place a Class A fire extinguisher nearby to con-
tend with small fires.
•
In the event of a fuel hopper fire:
•
Evacuate the house immediately.
•
Notify the Fire Department.
B. Fuel and Fuel Storage
Pellet fuel quality can fluctuate. This appliance is
designed to burn a wide variety of pellet fuel, giving
you the freedom to choose the most economical fuel
in your area.
Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends
that you choose a fuel that is recognized by the Pellet
Fuels Institute (PFI)
Pellet fuels are made from sawdust, or other wood
fibers. The source material determines the ash and
heat content. Higher ash content fuel, or Standard
Grade, may contain bark, leaves, stems, or other by-
products. Higher ash may not mean more or less heat
value, but it will require more maintenance and clean-
ing. Low ash content fuel, or Premium Grade, is made
from only the cleanest sawdust. Cleaning and mainte-
nance are greatly reduced while typically higher heat
value is experienced.
WARNING
"NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP " A
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS
WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE".

APPROVED FUELS
•
Wood Pellets- Any grade of wood or biomass pel-
letized fuel. Pellets should be either 1/4 inch or
5/16 inch (6 - 8mm) in diameter, and no more than
1½" (38mm) in length.
•
Shelled Field Corn- Corn is approved for use as
a fuel ONLY when mixed with pellets. The tested
mixture is up to 50% corn. Since corn is grown as
a feed source, and not as a fuel, there are many
possible inconsistencies with regards to burning.
Because of this, you may not be successful with
the maximum mixture, and may need to reduce
the percentage of corn in the mix. Corn should
have a moisture content of 15% or less. Corn for
burning should be clean and free of debris, stalks
and pieces of cob.
CAUTION! Risk of Chemical Poisoning!
Do NOT burn treated seed corn
•
Exhaust gases are toxic
•
Chemicals used to treat are harmful or fatal if
ingested.
•
Burning seed corn will void the product warranty.
STORAGE
Fuel should be stored in a dry area, preferably in-
doors, and well away from the appliance clearance
area.
Corn, for mixture, should be stored in a sealed con-
tainer to prevent mold growth and to deter pests. Re-
member, corn is a food source and will attract rodents
and other pests.
CAUTION! Approved for use with wood pellets or
a mixture of wood pellets and shelled corn only.
The use of any other fuel will void the product
warranty and may cause damage to the appliance
and/or your home.
