INSTALLATION DETAILS
Electrical Requirements
1. This pellet fire is an electrical appliance. This appliance requires 230- 240 Volts, 50 Hz and 1.5-2.0 Amps of
electrical power.
2. The pellet fire comes with a 1.5 M long, grounded, electrical cord suitable to plug into any standard residential

Wood Pellet Fuel Requirements
Only approved wood pellets are to be used in this appliance which have been tested to and complies with AS/NZS
4014.6. Any other fuel used that does not comply with this standard will greatly affect the performance, operation
and the warranty of this appliance.
Wood pellets must not be:-

– Thicker than 10mm
– Have no more than 1% fine dust particles
If you find your fuel has excessive amounts of fines and saw dust, the fuel should 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 pellet fire to block 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
regular basis. Please refer to the “Maintenance” section for further instructions on cleaning your pellet fire.
Fuel Storage
All pellet fuel should be stored in a clean dry place and at a safe distance (at least one metre) away from the fire.
