Helpful Hints for WiseWay Pellet Stoves
Burning Hardwood Pellet Fuel
Installation:
Have your stove installed by a certified chimney installer or licensed contractor (see page 6 of the
Installation and Operating Manual).
Do not make changes to the draft recommendations during
the installation of the chimney or stove.
This is a stove that burns pellet fuel, if adequate draft is
not accomplished this stove will not operate properly and can potentially cause smoke to come
from the stove. If draft is compromised, it can drastically impede the performance of the stove,
especially when using hardwood pellet fuel.
Long horizontal chimney runs will impede draft and cause poor performance of this stove.
Basement installations and air tight houses will require an outside air source.
Performance:
Use premium pellets that contain .5% or less ash content. Pellet quality and performance will vary
from brand to brand. Experiment with different brand pellets (See page 11 of the Installation and
Operating Manual).
Learn your stove!
A WiseWay pellet stove has no moving parts and requires no electricity; it does
however require your attention much like a wood stove
,
especially when burning a hardwood
pellet.
CLEARING YOUR SECONDARY BURN PLATE IS A MUST WHILE BURNING HARDWOOD
PELLETS.
This is simple.
NOTE: surfaces will be hot.
First, remove the ashtray and dispose of any ashes (see page 17 of the Installation and Instruction
Manual for proper ash disposal), and reinstall ashtray.
Second, remove secondary burn plate. This will allow any built up ashes and hot coals to fall into
the ashtray. Inspect the secondary burn plate, any layers of ash should be removed and
discarded. Lightly tap the secondary burn plate on the edge of your disposal container to clear
any clogged hole(s) in the burn plate. This will resume proper air flow through the burn plate;
reinstall the secondary burn plate.
Considering the numerous different fuels and installations, there is no one formula for how often
this needs to be performed.
Letting the secondary burn plate build up with ashes can choke
the stove causing a decrease in temperature and increase the possibility of smoldering fuel
and smoke.
Until experience has helped you establish a regular routine it is not recommended to leave the
stove unattended for long periods of time.
ALWAYS EMPTY THE ASHTRAY AND CLEAR THE
SECONDARY BURN PLATE PRIOR TO LEAVING THE STOVE UNATTENDED!
