PELLET STOVES 5 PS45B 041113-24
CAUTION:
It is important to select and use only fuel that is
dry and free of dirt or other impurities such as high salt content.
"Dirty" fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance
of the unit and will void the warranty. We recommend the use of
pellets that meet or exceed the PFI standards. Ask your dealer
for a recommended pellet type.
Pellet fuel is made from sawdust and scrap wood from many
different species of wood. Pellets are either 1/4” or 5/16” in
diameter and vary in length. The Warmland PS45 stove will
burn either diameter pellets.
ASH:
The ash content of the fuel and operation of your stove
will directly determine the frequency of cleaning. The use of high
ash fuels may result in the stove needing to be cleaned daily.
Pellets made from hardwoods contain more ash than those
made from softwoods.
CLINKERING:
[clinkers are minerals, silica (sand) or other
impurities in the fuel that will form a hard mass during the
burning process]. This heater has a burn pot cleaning system
designed to prevent clinkers from blocking the holes in the liner.
If they do become blocked, remove the liner (when the unit is
cold) and clean/scrape the clinkers out. Clean the holes with a
small pointed object if required. Refer to the section "Routine
Cleaning and Maintenance".
Wood Pellet Specifi cations:
This appliance has been
designed to burn wood pellets with up to 3% ash content. Dirty
fuel will adversely affect the performance of the stove.
Wood pellets manufactured to the pellet fuels institute (P.F.I.)
certifi cation standard are available in two grades, Standard and
Premium. The primary difference between the two is the ash
content of the pellets.
The P.F.I. specifi cation for standard grade and premium grade
residential pellet fuel is as follows:
• CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m. to avoid stove and
vent rusting.
• BULK DENSITY: 40 lb. / Cu. Ft. minimum
• MOISTURE CONTENT: 8% maximum
• ASH CONTENT: < 3% (standard grade)
< 1% maximum (premium grade)
• FINES: 0.5% maximum through a 1/8” screen
• BTU CONTENT: There are a number of variations in pellet
fuels that are not included in PFI standards. For example, BTU
(heat value) content may range from just under 8,000 to almost
9,000 Btu, depending upon species and region of the country
and other variables.
THE USE OF CORDWOOD IS PROHIBITED.
Do
not burn garbage or fl ammable fl uids such as gasoline,
naphtha or engine oil
