Safety Instructions
1. It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt content.
Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet
Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of
pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.
2. Keep the door closed and sealed during burning for safety and to preventing hot ash from flying out.
3. Do not overload the pellet hopper.
4. Venting pipe and air input pipe should remain unblocked. Please do regular maintenance checks. (See
maintenance section.)
5. The power outlet used must be grounded.
6. Do not keep any combustible or explosive items around the stove when it is operating.
7. When installing this unit on a combustible floor (linoleum, hardwood flooring, carpet), the unit must be installed
with floor protection of a non-combustible protective floor pad of a minimum 3/8” (10mm) thickness material or a
masonry hearth.
8. Do not open the stove door while in operation. This will prevent smoke, fire, and fly ash from escaping.
9. Do not touch the surface of the unit while the stove is operating. The high temperature of the stove glass door
and venting pipe will cause burns.
10. CAUTION - Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, charcoal lighter fluid, diesel fuel, or any other flammable liquid to
start or freshen the fire. Keep all such liquids well away from stove while it is in use.
