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 fire. Do not over
fire 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 flights, 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 fire 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 fines.
• 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.
CAUTION:
• KEEP FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE HOPPER.
• THE MOVING PARTS OF THIS STOVE ARE
PROPELLED BY HIGH TORQUE ELECTRIC
MOTORS. KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM
THE AUGER WHILE THE STOVE IS PLUGGED
INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET. THESE MOVING
PARTS MAY BEGIN TO MOVE AT ANY TIME
WHILE THE STOVE IS PLUGGED IN.
