• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE - Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from
the stove while it is in use.
• HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade pellets. This appliance can also burn pellets rated as standard
after May 16, 2015.
DO NOT BURN:
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or
asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard. The prohibition against burning these
materials does not prohibit the use of re starters
made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and
similar substances for the purpose of starting a re in
an affected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
PROPER FUEL
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:
1. 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.
2. Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold the together, or “bind” them.
3. 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.
PRE-START-UP CHECK
Remove burn pot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the rebox, and then reinstall burn
pot. Clean door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufcient). Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass
or door. Check fuel in the hopper, and rell if necessary.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the burn pot supplied with this heater.
Hopper lid must be closed in order for the unit to feed pellets.
During the start-up period:
1. Make sure burn pot is free of pellets.
2. DO NOT open the viewing door.
3. Damper may need to be closed during start up.
4. DO NOT add pellets to the burn pot by hand.
NOTE: During the rst few res, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned to
the metal. Maintaining smaller res will minimize this. Avoid placing items on stove top during this period because paint
could be affected.
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specications can result in permanent damage to
the heater.
AUTOMATIC IGNITOR
Fill hopper and clean burn pot.
1. Press “On/Off” button. Make sure green light comes on.
2. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than ¼ of the way during start-up. This will vary depending
on your installation and elevation. Once re is established adjust for desired ame increasing the amount the damper
is open as the heat setting is increased. (See “DAMPER CONTROL”)
3. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Heat Level Advance” button.
If re doesn’t start in 12 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait a few minutes, clear the burn pot, and start procedure again.
