VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efficiently the
combustion process is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture
leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specific unit to produce the smallest amount of visible
smoke. Wood that has not been seasoned properly and has a high wood moisture content will produce excess
visible smoke and burn poorly.
FUEL CONSIDERATIONS
Your pellet stove is designed to burn premium hardwood pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuels Institute(PFI)
standards (minimum of 40 lbs density per cubic ft, 1/4” to 5/16” diameter, length no greater than 1.5”, not less
than 8,200 BTU/lb, moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1% by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million).
Pellets that are soft, contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust, have been, or are wet, will result in reduced
performance. Store your pellets in a dry place. DO NOT store the fuel within the installation clearances of the
unit or within the space required for refueling and ash removal. Doing so could result in a house fire. DO NOT
USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START FIRE. HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE
AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
SAFETY AND EPA COMPLIANCE
Your pellet stove has been safety tested and listed to ASTM E1509-12 (201&), ULC-S627-00 and (UM) 84-HUD.
