SAFETY INFORMATION

Be sure to read the entire owner’s manual prior to installing and operating this Pellet heater.  Failure to follow these instructions 

could result in fire, property damage, bodily injury or even death.

This stove’s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slight positive chimney pressure, it is 

extremely important to ensure that the exhaust system is sealed and airtight. The ash pan and viewing door must be securely 
fastened in order for the unit to be airtight. This Pellet heater will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for 
the blowers.

The use of grates or other methods of supporting the fuel is not permitted.

This Pellet heater is designed to burn pellet wood fuel only. Do not use any other type of fuel; doing so will void any warranties 
stated in this manual. 

THE USE OF SOLID WOOD FUEL IS PROHIBITED BY LAW.

This Pellet heater is designed for residential installation according to current national and local building codes. It is also 

approved as a mobile home heater, which is designed for connection to an outside combustion air source.  When installing 

a Pellet 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 structural integrity of the home is maintained.

Make sure that structural integrity of the home is maintained when passing vent pipes through walls, ceilings and roofs

It is recommended that the exhaust vent be cleaned bi-annually or after every two tons of pellets.

Soot or creosote may accumulate when the pellet heater is operated under incorrect conditions, such as an extremely rich 

burn (black tipped lazy orange flames). Do not operate the stove if the flame becomes dark or sooty or if the burn pot overfills 

with pellets. Turn the stove off and call your dealer.

The grounded electrical cord must be connected to a standard 120 volt, 60 hertz electrical outlet. Ensure that the electrical 

cord is not trapped under the appliance and that it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges.

The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation.

DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN THE ASH PAN. A fire in the ash pan may occur.

Do not operate your pellet heater if you smell smoke coming from it. Turn it off, monitor it and call your dealer.

Repair and servicing of your U.S. Stove Pellet Burning Room Heater may only be done by a qualified technician.

Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance or repair. 

NOTE: Turning the Pellet Stove Room Heater to "off" does not disconnect power from the unit.

The Pellet Stove Room Heater will not operate during a power outage. If a power outage or tripped circuit occurs, check for 
smoke spillage and open windows or doors to ventilate as necessary.
