PROPER FUEL
This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade pellets. This appliance can also burn pellets rated as
standard after May 16, 2015
DO NOT BURN:
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard. The prohibition against burning
these materials does not prohibit the use of fire
starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,
wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a fire in an affected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those ¼”
or 5/16” in diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger flights, which
prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building
codes for which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic
feed of the pellet fuel into the fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any additional fuel introduced by hand will not
increase heat output but may seriously impair the stoves performance by generating considerable smoke. Do
not burn wet pellets. The stove’s performance depends heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet
brands that display these characteristics:
a. Excess Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or sand.
Pellets can be screened before being placed in hopper to remove most fines.
b. Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold them together, or “bind” them.
c. High ash content – Poor quality pellets will often create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a need for
more frequent maintenance. You will have to empty the burnpot plus vacuum the entire system more often.
Poor quality pellets could damage the auger. This company cannot accept responsibility for damage due
to poor quality pellets. Your dealer can recommend a good quality pellet dealer in your area.
PRE-START-UP CHECK
Remove burnpot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the firebox, and then
reinstall burnpot. Clean door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufficient). Never use abrasive
cleaners on the glass or door. Check fuel in the hopper, and refill if necessary.
NOTE: The hopper can hold up to 40 lbs. of pellets.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the approved burnpot.
During the start up period:
1. DO NOT open the viewing door.
2. DO NOT open the damper more than ¼”.
3. DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by hand.
4. DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming the auger after running out of pellets).
A dangerous condition could result.
NOTE: During the first few fires, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes
seasoned to the metal. Maintaining smaller fires will minimize this. Avoid placing items on stovetop during this
period because paint could be affected.
