a. Hot while in operation.
Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
b. If you notice a smoldering
fi
re
(burnpot full but no visible
fl
ame)
AND a heavy smoke buildup in
fi
rebox, im mediately TURN
OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it.
Do not open the door, change the damper setting or tamper with any controls on the
stove.
Wait until
fi
rebox clears, and blowers shut down, do as instructed in
“PRE-START-UP CHECK”
and
“BUILDING A FIRE”
,
then attempt to restart the
fi
re. If the problem persists contact your dealer.
c. WARNING: DO NOT ADD PELLETS TO THE BURNPOT BY HAND AT ANY TIME, A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RE-
SULT.
d. WARNING: DURING THE START UP CYCLE; 1) DO NOT OPEN THE VIEWING DOOR; 2) DO NOT OPEN THE DAMPER
MORE THAN ¼”; 3) DO NOT USE THE FUEL FEED BUTTON
(UNLESS PRIMING THE AUGER AFTER RUNNING OUT OF
PELLETS).
A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RESULT.
e. Pellets should be stored in a dry place. The pellets should not be stored within 12” of the stove.
f. DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR STOVE. NEVER USE
A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID
OR SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
g. WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE.
This may cause serious damage to your stove and void your warranty. It also may
create a
fi
re hazard in your home.
IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE OVERFIRING.
Imme-
diately press the
“POWER”
switch on the control panel.
h. KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES, TOYS, ETC. AT
LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
i.
Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the
fi
re for the combustion process. Modern houses
are often so well insulated that it may become necessary to open a window slightly or install an outside air vent to provide suf
fi
cient
combustion air.
j.
Since heating with a solid fuel is potentially hazardous, even with a well made and thoroughly tested stove, it would be wise to
install strategically placed smoke detectors and have a
fi
re extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit.
k. Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inef
fi
cient burn and could allow smoke spillage or
sparks to escape.
l.
Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove’s operation.
m. Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.
n. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed,
cracked or broken.
o. 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).
p. This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations
to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this
manual.
q. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design speci
fi
cations can result in permanent damage to the
heater.
