•
THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE OPTIMUM PROPORTIONS OF FUEL AND
AIR TO THE FIRE IN ORDER TO BURN FREE OF SMOKE AND SOOT. ANY BLOCKAGE
OF THE AIR SUPPLY TO OR FROM THE STOVE WILL SERIOUSLY DECREASE ITS
PERFORMANCE AND WILL BE EVIDENT BY A SMOKING EXHAUST, A SOOT BUILDUP
ON THE WINDOW AND ON OUTSIDE WALLS. FOR BEST OPERATION, THE ASH
CONTENT OF THE PELLET FUEL SHOULD BE LESS THAN 1% AND THE CALORIFIC
VALUE APPROXIMATELY 8,200 BTU/LB. OTHERS FUELS WITH A HIGH ASH CONTENT
WILL REQUIRE A HIGHER LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING.
• THE STOVE WILL NOT OPERATE USING NATURAL DRAFT OR WITHOUT A POWER
SOURCE TO ACTIVATE THE BLOWER SYSTEMS AND FUEL FEED SYSTEM.
•
STOVE BUILDER INTERNATIONAL INC. GRANTS NO WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR STATED,
FOR BAD INSTALLATION OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE OF YOUR STOVE, AND
ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
•
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. 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.
•
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 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.
• OPERATING YOUR STOVE AT THE MAXIMUM SETTING DURING A LONG PERIOD OF
TIME MAY REDUCE THE STOVE AND ITS COMPONENTS LIFE EXPECTANCY.

5.1.1 Zone Heating and How to Make It Work for You

Your new pellet stove is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed
in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone
heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes.
Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space
within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat source.
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. We strongly recommend that
you also have a conventional oil, gas or electric additional heating system to provide heating in the
home if needed. 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.
