Operating Instructions
D. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage
Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. This appliance
has been designed to burn a wide variety of fuels, giving
you the choice to use the fuel that is most economical in
your region.
Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends only
using Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) certified fuel.
Fuel Material
• Made from sawdust or wood by-products
• Depending on the source material it may have a high or
low ash content.
Higher Ash Content Material
•
Hardwoods with a high mineral content
•
Fuel that contains bark
• Standard grade pellets, high ash pellets, corn and other
biomass fuels
Lower Ash Content Material
• Softwoods
•
Fuels with low mineral content
•
Premium grade pellets
Corn
•
A 1:1 mix of pellets to corn is approved, but may
require the fire pot to be cleaned more frequently.
• The only change in operation is that the feed rate may
require a slight adjustment.
• The BTU output of the appliance varies slightly
compared to pellets, depending on the quality of the
corn used.
• Corn must be free of debris. Never burn corn straight
from the field. It will clog the auger mechanism.
• Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened by
sifting with 3/16 (4.76mm) inch mesh screening
• Do not use corn that contains additives such as
oils or means or has been chemically treated with
pesticides. It will void your warranty and destroy the
exhaust system.
Clinkers
Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as sand
will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called a clinker
when heated in the fire pot.
Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. That
is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others.
CAUTION
Do not b
urn fuel that contains an additive; (such as
soybean oil).
•
May cause hopper fires
• Damage to product may result
Read the ingredients list on the package. If you are
buying corn the only ingredient that should be listed is
corn.
WARNING
