P Q :
ELLET UALITY
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Do not use any
other type of fuel, as this will void any warranties stated in this manual.
The performance of your pellet stove is greatly affected by the type and quality of
wood pellets being burned. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets
differs, so will the performance and heat output of the pellet stove.
CAUTION: It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any
impurities such as high salt content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and
performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has
established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets that
meet or exceed these standards. Please use a recommended pellet type.
P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:
Fines (fine particles)......1% maximum through a 3 mm(1/8") screen
Bulk Density..................650 kg//m
Size.................................6 mm to 8 mm diameter, 12mm to 35 mm long
Ash Content..................1% maximum (Premium grade)
..................3% maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content...........8% maximum
Heat Content.................approximately 17500 KJ/kg minimum (net calorific value)
ASH: The ash content of the fuel and operation of your stove will directly determine the
frequency of cleaning. The use of high ash fuels may result in the stove needing to be
cleaned daily. A low ash fuel may allow longer intervals between cleaning.
CLINKERING: [clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the fuel that will form a hard
mass during the burning process]. This hard mass will block the airflow through the Burn Pot
Liner and affect the performance of the stove. Any fuel, even approved types, may tend to
clinker. Check the Burn-Pot Liner daily to ensure that the holes are not blocked with clinkers.
If they become blocked, remove the liner (when the unit is cold) and clean/scrape the clinkers
out. Clean the holes with a small pointed object if required. Refer to the section Routine
Cleaning and Maintenance.
