FIRE DESCRIPTION
The Parkwood Mia Pellet Fire is designed to sit on a Hearth Pad Pedestal (on combustible surfaces) as a freestanding
fire. A Control Panel is located at the top left side panel of the fire. The controls include 5 heat settings, an On/Off
switch and lights to indicate proper operation. Above the glass Firebox front door are Heat Vanes through which hot
room air is blown by the room air Convection Blower. The Heat-Setting switches will vary the speed of the room air
convection blower and increase or decrease the amount of fuel delivered to the Fire. On the back of the Fire a 75mm
exhaust pipe protrudes from the Combustion Air Blower, the Flue is connected to the exhaust pipe via a Cleanout Tee.

FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
Pellet quality is very important for the efficient operation of your Fire, please read the following information
This fire has been designed to burn 6 - 7mm Premium Quality Wood Pellets only. It is important to select and use only
pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt or silica content. Parkwood Pellet Fires
recommend that you burn only premium quality wood pellet fuel. Do not use any other type of fuel or dirty fuel, as this
will void any warranties stated in this manual. The performance of your fire is greatly affected by the type and quality of
wood pellets being burned. The heat output and ash content of various quality wood pellet fuel differs and will
considerably affect the performance and heat output of the fire. Poor quality pellet fuel will also result in excessive
amounts of ash in the burn pot liner and the firebox becoming black with carbon. Refer to Pellet Fuel Quality on page
16 for proper fire operation when poor quality fuel is being used.
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 AS/NZS 4014.6 2007 as listed below.
