2. Electrical Requirements
1. This heater is an electrical appliance. The North American versions of
this appliance require 120 Volts, 60 cycle and 3 Amps of electrical power.
The European versions of this appliance require 230 Volts, 50 cycles and
2 Amps of electrical power. All heaters with an electric igniter require an
additional 300 watts of electrical power during the start up sequence.
2. The heater comes with a 5 ft. (1.5 M) long, grounded, electrical cord
suitable to plug into any standard residential electrical outlet. The
electrical outlet must be grounded.
3. When installed in a mobile home, the heater must be grounded to the steel
chassis of the home (unless this is not required by local code).
3. Fuel Requirements
3.1 Physical Properties
Your heater is very sensitive to fuel quality. Every effort should be made to use only the
best pellet fuel available in your area. This heater is designed for premium grade, 1/4 inch
(6.35 mm) or 5/16” (7.94mm) diameter wood pellets only. The following should assist
you in selecting the proper fuel.
If you find your fuel has too much fines and saw dust, the fuel may be screened before
use. DO NOT USE WET PELLETS under any circumstance. Longer fuel may cause
bridging of the auger and result in erratic feeding or jamming. Fines, binders, ash, moisture
will all cause your heater to plug up and not burn efficiently. “Poor” fuels require more
frequent cleaning; the ashtray must be emptied and the burn pot must be cleaned on a
weekly/possibly daily basis. Please refer to the “Maintenance” section for further
instructions on cleaning your heater.
3.2 Fuel Storage
All pellet fuel should be stored in a clean dry place and at a safe distance (at least 36
inches / 1 meter) away from the heater. DO NOT place the fuel within the installation
clearances of the heater or within the space needed for ash removal or starting of the
heater.
Burning any fuel other than wood pellets as described above
will void your heater’s warranty and may void any insurance.
