OWNER´S MANUAL

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin
burns.
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, change the damper setting or tamper with any controls on the stove.
Wait until firebox clears, and blowers shut down, do as instructed in "PRE -START UP CHECK"
and "BUILDING A FIRE", then attempt to restart the fire. If the problem persists contact your
Dealer.
WARNING: DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR DURING THE START UP CYCLE AND DO
NOT ADD PELLETS TO THE BURNPOT BY HAND AT ANY TIME, OTHERWISE A
DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RESULT.
Pellets should be stored in a dry place. The pellets should not be stored within 12" of the
stove.
DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, EXPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE
VICINITY OF YOUR SPIRIT 500 PELLET. NEVER USE A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH,
GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID OR SILIMAR FLUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause serious damage to your
stove and void your warranty. It also may create a fire hazard in your home. IF ANY EXTERNAL
PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE OVERFIRING. Immediately press
the "POWER" switch on the Control Panel.
KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE,
DRAPES, TOYS, ETC. AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied
to the fire for the combustion process. Modern houses are often so well insulated
that it may become necessary to open a window slightly or install an outside air vent to
provide sufficient combustion air. Since heating with a solid fuel is potentially hazardous,
even with a well made and thoroughly tested stove, it would be wise to install strategically
placed smoke detectors and have a fire extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit.
