DEAR CUSTOMER:
You have purchased what we feel is possibly the best wood burning heating system in North America today!
You will find that your ARDENT ENERGY heater will operate much differently than the old fashion fire boxes of the
past, offering vastly reduced creosote deposits and an extended burn time.
It is in your best interest to become familiar with your ARDENT ENERGY heating system, study your Installation Man-
ual carefully before attempting to install your heating system. Avoid discarding your Installation Manual, as it may be
used for future reference.
In the event you wish to add optional equipment to your unit at a later date, please inform your ARDENT ENERGY
dealer. The serial number of your heater should be included with your order to assure prompt and accurate service.
We congratulate you on your choice of the ARDENT ENERGY heating system and may your home fires keep burning!
Yours truly,
ARDENT ENERGY Inc
