§
Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke coming from it. Turn it off, do not unplug, monitor it, and call your
dealer.
§
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a
fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while in use.
§
Never block free airflow through the open vents of the stove.
§
Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions are given in this Manual. All other work should
be done by a trained technician.
§
The stove will not operate during a power outage. If an outage does occur, check the stove for smoke spillage and
open a window if any smoke spills into the room.
§
Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance or repairs on the stove.
NOTE:
Turning the stove "off" does not disconnect all power from the stove.
§
Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction. Turn the stove off, immediately inspect it, and call your dealer.
§
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
§
Do not throw this Manual away. This Manual has important operating and maintenance instructions that you will need
at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this Manual.
§
Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near your stove.
§
The viewing door must be closed and latched during operation.
§
Do not operate the stove if the flame becomes dark and sooty or if the burn pot overfills with pellets. Turn the stove
off, immediately inspect it, and call your dealer.
§
The stove is hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Educate
all children of the danger of a high temperature stove. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same
room as the stove.
§
If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on it, it is possible
this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels. One of the sensors could then make the
convection fan and/or feed system start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in use
for extended periods of time (i.e. during the summer months).
§
Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspection
requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this stove as well.

with a tight lid and placed on a non-combustible surface well away from the home structure.

minimum
of twice a year for any buildup of soot or creosote.
