PELLET FEED RATES: Due to different fuel densities and sizes, pellet feed rates may vary.
This may require an adjustment to the slider damper setting or to the auger feed trim setting
on low. These modifications should be carried out during commissioning by a qualified
installer.
Since the stove supplier has no control over the quality of pellets that you use, we assume no
liability for your choice in wood pellets.
Store pellets at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove.

Please read this Owner’s Manual before installing or operating your Pellet Stove.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or
even death. Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any
information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.
It is imperative that all national and local regulations and European Standards are
complied with when installing the appliance.
To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering
to the installation instructions. The dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information
with regard to your local building codes and installation restrictions.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of the home when passing a vent through walls,
ceilings, or roofs.
The stove’s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly
positive chimney pressure. A chimney draught of 12 Pa can be regarded as typical when
operating at maximum output. It is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be
sealed and airtight. The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe
operation of the pellet stove.
In a small number of installations, occasional local weather conditions (e.g. wind from a
particular direction) may cause downdraught in the flue and cause the stove to emit fumes.
In these circumstances, the stove should not be used. A professional flue installer will be
able to advise on solutions to this problem
Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure
proper combustion air is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper
combustion air is achieved by adjusting the slider damper located on the left side of the stove.
When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel
chassis of the home and bolted to the floor. Make sure that the structural integrity of the
home is maintained and all construction meets local building codes.
Minor soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions
such as an extremely rich burn (black tipped, lazy orange flames).
If you have any questions with regard to your stove or the above-mentioned information,
please feel free to contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.
