Hearthland Itasca Installation And Operation Manual page 2

CONGRATULATIONS on the purchase of your HEARTHLAND stove! With the pur‐
chase of your new pellet stove, you have joined countless individuals whose answer
to their heating needs reflects their concern for aesthetics, efficiency and our envi‐
ronment.
The following are key factors relating to the installation and operation of your stove
and heating with wood pellet fuel.
1. A quality installation which meets all safety and building code requirements is a
must for the safety of your family and for efficient, satisfactory operation of your
stove.
2. Use quality pellets with high BTU content and minimum "fines", sawdust and
loose materials. Pellets vary greatly from company to company. Pellet quality
contributes significantly to your stoves performance. For peak performance it is
recommended that you screen your pellets to prevent operational problems.
(See Section #5 "Wood Pellet Specifications")
3. Keep your stove's burn grate clean. A dirty burn grate restricts combustion air
making it difficult to maintain proper combustion contributing to poor perform‐
ance and increased fuel usage. (See Section #6 "Maintenance & Required Clean‐
ing")
4. Keep your stove's heat exchanger clean. A dirty heat exchanger reduces heat
transfer to convection air contributing to poor performance and increased fuel us‐
age. (See Section #6 "Maintenance & Required Cleaning")
In the majority of the cases, operational problems are the result of poor quality pel‐
lets, improper installation, and/or lack of cleaning. Daily care of your HEARTHLAND
stove will provide clean, efficient, comfortable and environmentally friendly heating
for many years. We extend our continued support to help you to achieve the maxi‐
mum benefit and enjoyment from your new pellet stove. For additional information
