OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Check List Before Starting Your Pellet Stove:
•
Check that the pellet stove is properly plugged into a 3-prong grounded 115VAC
electrical receptacle. Make sure there is electrical power to the stove.
•
Check around the pellet stove for any potential safety hazards.
•
Check that the pellet stove is connected to a proper venting system to exhaust the
stove’s combustion gases outdoors. Check that the vent cap is not damaged or
obstructed. Also check for any potential fire hazards around the vent cap.
•
Make sure there is adequate supply of pellet fuel in the hopper and that the pellet fuel
is in good condition and suitable for burning in this pellet stove.
•
Make sure the burn pot is seated properly and empty of ash or clinkers. Check to make
sure all the air holes of the burn pot are unobstructed and clear out any obstructions.
•
Close and latch the door securely. The stove will not operate with the door open.
•
Close the hopper lid. The fuel feed auger will stop if the hopper lid is opened.
NOTE: It is normal for the stove to emit some odor and smoke with the first few initial
operations. This is due the curing of the paint and ‘burning-off’ of manufacturing oils.
For the first few operations, keep the heat setting low to medium to reduce emissions
and keep the room well ventilated by open windows.
