Your heater requires periodic maintenance and cleaning
(see ”MAINTENANCE ”). Failure to maintain your
heater may lead to improper and/or unsafe operation.

Disconnect the power cord before performing any
maintenance! NOTE: Pressing

”OFF” does not disconnect all power to the electrical
components of the heater.

Never try to repair or replace any part of the heater un-
less instructions for doing so are given in this manual.
All other work should be done by a trained technician.

Do not operate your heater with the viewing door
open. The auger will not feed pellets under these
circumstances and a safety concern may arise from
sparks or fumes entering the room.

Allow the heater to cool before performing any
maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed
in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-
combustible surface or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal
- The products of combustion will contain small
particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust
venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases.
Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup,
shutdown,or incorrect operation of the room heater will
lead to some soot formation which will collect in the
exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system
should be inspected at least once a month during the
heating season to determine if cleaning is necessary.

The exhaust system should be checked monthly during
the burning season for any build-up of soot or creosote.

Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all
children on the dangers of a high-temperature heater.
Young children should be supervised when they are
in the same room as the heater.

The hopper and heater top will be hot during operation;
therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refueling your heater.

A power surge protector is required. This unit
must be plugged into a 110 - 120V, 60 Hz grounded
electrical outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or sever
the grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord
underneath, in front of, or over the heater. Do not route
the cord in foot traffic areas or pinch the cord under
furniture.

The heater will not operate during a power outage. If a
power outage does occur, check the heater for smoke
spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into the
room.

The viewing door must be closed and sealed during
operation. Keep seal in good condition.

Never block free airflow through the open vents of the
unit.

Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.

The moving parts of this heater are propelled by high
torque electric motors. Keep all body parts away from
the auger while the heater is plugged into an electrical
outlet. These moving parts may begin to move at any
time while the heater is plugged in.

Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or
near this heater.
