3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke
coming from it. Turn it off, monitor it, and call your
dealer.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the
stove unless instructions are given in this
manual. All other work should be done by a
trained technician.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all
such liquids well away from the stove while in use. Do not throw this manual away. This manual
has important operating and maintenance
instructions that you will need at a later time.
Always follow the instructions in this manual.
Never block free airflow through the open vents of
the stove. Do not place clothing or other flammable
items on or near the stove.
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
The viewing door must be closed and latched
during operation.
The stove will not operate during a power outage.
If an outage does occur, check the stove for
smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke
spills into the room. Do not operate the stove if the flame
becomes dark and sooty or if the burnpot
overfills with pellets. Turn the stove off,
periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.
Disconnect the power cord before performing any
maintenance or repairs on the stove.
NOTE: Turning the stove “off” does not disconnect
all power from the stove.
Hot while in operation. Keep children,
clothing, and furniture away. Contact may
cause skin burns. Educate all children of the
danger of a high temperature stove. Young
children should be supervised when they are
in the same room as the stove.
During the start up period;
1) DO NOT
open the
viewing door;
2) DO NOT
open the damper more
than ¼”;
3) DO NOT
add pellets to the burnpot
by hand;
4
)
DO NOT
use the Fuel Feed button
(unless you are priming the auger after running
out of pellets) as a dangerous condition could
result.
If the stove is installed in a room without air
conditioning, or in an area where direct
sunlight can shine on the unit, it is possible
this can cause the temperature of the stove to
rise to operational levels; one of the sensors
could then make the stove start on its own. It
is recommended that the stove be unplugged
when not in use for extended amounts of time
(i.e. during the summer months).
Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a
malfunction. Turn the stove off, periodically
inspect it, and call your dealer.
Contact your local building officials to obtain a
permit and information on any installation
restrictions or inspection requirements in your
area. Notify your insurance company of this stove
as well. The exhaust system must be completely
airtight and properly installed. The pellet vent
joints must be sealed with RTV 500°F
(260°C) silicone sealant, and with UL-181-AP
foil tape.
This unit must be properly installed to prevent the
possibility of a house fire. The instructions must be
strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods
or compromise in the installation.
Allow the stove to cool before carrying out
any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be
disposed in a metal container with a tight lid
and placed on a no combustible surface well
away from the home structure.
Your stove requires periodic maintenance and
cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead
to smoke spillage in your home.
This stove is designed and approved for
pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of
fuel burned in this heater will void the
warranty and safety listing.
This stove must be connected to a standard 120
V., 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an
adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not
route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or
over the stove. When installed in a mobile home, the stove
must be bolted to the floor, have outside air,
and
NOT BE INSTALLED IN A BEDROOM
(Per H.U.D. requirements). Check with local
building officials.
The exhaust system should be checked, at a
minimum, at least twice a year for any build up of
soot or creosote.

stated, for the installation or maintenance
of your stove, and assumes no
responsibility of any consequential
