(1) Values are as measured per test method, except for the
recommended heating area, hopper capacity, maximum burn
time and maximum heat input rate. Results may vary depending
on pellet quality, density, length, and diameter.
[*] Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may
vary subject to location in home, chimney draft, heat loss factors,
climate, fuel type, feed rate, fuel level, and other variables. The
recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the

manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable
temperature considering that the space configuration and the
presence of heat distribution systems have a significant impact
in making heat circulation optimum.
(**) Grades of pellet fuel are determined by organizations such
as Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI), ENplus and CANplus.

3. COMBUSTIBLE

3.1 RECOMMANDED PELLETS

Type : Wood pellet, premium grade or better, certified
by PFI, Enplus or CANplus.
Size : Diameter between ¼" or 5/16" and not over 1"
long. Longer or thicker pellets will affect the constancy
of pellet feed.
Ash contents: Less than 1%. Ash contents more than
1% will increase maintenance frequency, combustion
problems and will increase the stove emission.
Moisture content: Wet pellets will be very hard to
ignite and will greatly affect the feeding process of the
stove. Using dry pellets will maintain the performance
of your stove.
NOTICE
Burning other types of pellets is prohibited. It
violates the building codes for which the stove
has been approved and will void the warranty.
