when they are in the same room as the heater. 

• 

This heater is designed and approved for 

pelletized wood fuel, shelled corn, or wheat 

only. Any other 

type of fuel burned in this heater will void the warranty and safety listing.  Keep foreign objects out of the 
hopper. 

• 

NEVER

 use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start 

or “freshen up” a fire in this appliance.  Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance while it is in

monitor your pellet appliance, and call your local authorized dealer.

 place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. When installed with a thermostat 

there is a possibility of the heater turning on and igniting any items placed on or near the unit. 

•

ance is equipped with a shutoff switch which stops the auger when the hopper lid is open.
