PROPER FUEL
ATTENTION:
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR THE USE
OF PELLETIZED FUEL THAT MEET OR EXCEED
THE STANDARD SET BY THE PELLET FUEL
INSTITUTE (PFI).
Your pellet stove is designed to burn premium
hardwood pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuels
Institute (PFI) standard (minimum of 40 lbs density
per cubic ft, 1/4” to 5/16” diameter, length no greater
than 1.5”, not less than 8,200 BTU/lb, moisture under
8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt
under 300 parts per million). Pellets that are soft,
contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust, have
been, or are wet, will result in reduced performance.
Store your pellets in a dry place. DO NOT store the
fuel within the installation clearances of the unit
or within the space required for refuelling and ash
removal. Doing so could result in a house re. Do not
over re or use volatile fuels or combustibles, doing
so may cause a personal and property damage
hazards. THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING
PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY ! Factory-approved
pellets are those 1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and not
over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes
bridge the auger ights, which prevents proper
pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than
pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building
codes for which the stove has been approved and
will void all warranties. The design incorporates
automatic feed of the pellet fuel into the re at
a carefully prescribed rate. Any additional fuel
introduced by hand will not increase heat output
but may seriously impair the stoves performance
by generating considerable smoke. Do not burn
wet pellets. The stove’s performance depends
heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet
brands that display these characteristics:
Excess Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed
pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or
sand. Pellets can be screened before being placed
in hopper to remove most nes.
Binders Some pellets are produced with
materials to hold the together, or “bind” them.
High ash content Poor quality pellets will often
create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a
need for more frequent maintenance. You will
have to empty the burn pot plus vacuum the
entire system more often. Poor quality pellets
could damage the auger. We cannot accept
responsibility for damage due to poor quality
pellet.
