Unless you are experienced in stove installation, we recommend your Hearthland Appliance receive a
Pre ‐ delivery Check and be installed by your local Specialty Retailer, NFI (National Fireplace Institute)
Pellet Specialist (USA) or WETT Certified Installer (CAN) .
Hearthland Products neither grants or
implies any warranty or responsibility for faulty installations!
COMPLETE THIS CHECK LIST PRIOR TO INSTALLING YOUR HEARTHLAND STOVE:
_____ Carefully read and save this "Owners Manual” .
_____ Have your local Dealer demonstrate your Hearthland’s operation, cleaning and maintenance steps.
_____ Select a location. The design of your home and the stove placement will determine its effectiveness as a
source of heat. A pellet appliance depends on air circulation to circulate heat. Other practical
considerations, to be considered before a final placement is decided on may include:
Existing Chimneys, Fuel Storage, Aesthetics , Roof Design (rafter locations & roof pitch), Room
Traffic, Clearances to Combustibles, and Existing Wiring.
_____ The installation of this appliance must conform to local codes and applicable state and federal
requirements. Becoming familiar with these requirements before installation is essential.
______ Select a location for the stove that adheres to required safety clearances.
______ Ensure the stove must be mounted on a hearth pad or equivalent.
______ Attach proof of purchase to this manual and save for warranty questions.

COMPLETE THIS CHECK LIST WHILE INSTALLING YOUR HEARTHLAND STOVE:
_____ Read the Installation sections of this manual.
_____ Determine the location and measurements needed to install the stove in your chosen location.
_____ Pre ‐ fit all items before you install, fasten or install the stove permanently.
_____ Make sure ALL joints of “PL” vent and single wall stainless steel liner are tightly connected, sealed with
High Temp (550°F) RTV Silicone or Hi ‐ Temp foil tape , including to the exhaust connector , and are cor ‐

COMPLETE THIS CHECK LIST, BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR FIRST FIRE:
_____ Obtain final inspection and approval by local building officials.
_____ Carefully clean all marks off the painted and polished metal parts before the first firing. Use a soft cloth and a
mild cleaner. Failure to do so may result in marks or finger prints being permanently visible on the surface.
Caution : Never use an abrasive cleaner on any part of your stove.
_____ Clean and wipe the hopper to remove any debris or residual oil from the manufacturing process.
_____ Your stove has been painted using Stove Bright high temperature stove paint. This paint is not fully cured until
the stove is fired (3) times. The initial (2) stove burns should be at heat setting 2 for 30 minutes. Between
burns turn off the stove and allow painted surfaces to cool to room temperature. The third burn should be at
heat setting 3 for 60 minutes. During this curing process fumes will be given off. Open windows and doors
and use fans to provide fresh air while curing. Fumes will not be present after paint fully cures.
_____ Make sure that stove is connected to a surge protection unit.
_____ Remove packaging materials from the burn area.
_____ Fill the hopper with quality pellets. (See section #4.4 “ Filling Hopper With Fuel”) Close hopper access door.
_____ Follow the Hearthland’s Lighting and Intelligent Temperature Control Instructions. (See section #4.6 “Starting
Stove ”)
