INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your investment in quality. Thank you

provide many years of dependable service. Please read entire
manual before installation and use.

BURNING PELLET FUEL

Ashes need to be removed from the stove periodically. See
"Normal Care and Maintenance" section for cleaning procedure.
Due to the nature of pellet fuels, this stove will require attention
periodically. Regular cleaning is an important part of burning
pellet fuel.
PELLETS
• This pellet stove is designed and approved to burn wood
pellets, that comply with pellet fuels industry standards.
Minimum of 40 lbs. density per cubic feet, 1/4" to 5/16" in
diameter, with a maximum length of 1-1/2", and less than 1%
ash.
• The performance of your pellet stove is greatly affected by
the type and quality of wood pellets. As the heat output of
various quality wood pellets differ, so will the performance
and heat output of the pellet stove.
• Wood pellets are generally produced out of wood waste
such as sawdust and shavings. The raw material is dried,
mechanically fractioned to size and extruded into pellets
under high pressure. Wood pellets need to be protected
from direct exposure to water. Water from sources such as
condensation and humidity causes pellets to expand and
break down into unusable fuel. Keep fuel dry.
• It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry
and free from dirt and debris. Dirty fuel will adversely affect
the operation and performance of the unit and will void
the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) has established
standards for wood pellet manufacturers. Only use pellets
that meet or exceed PFI standards for premium fuels.
CLINKERS
• Impurities, such as silica (clinkers), will need to be regularly
cleaned and removed from the pellet stove. Clinkers will
form a hard mass and block airflow through the pot liner.
High quality fuels will result in fewer clinkers.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES

POWER OUTAGE
During a power outage, the stove will shutdown safely. Do not
open the main door or ash door. During a power failure the
exhaust fan will not run. Keeping the doors sealed will allow the
exhaust vent to draft out naturally. When the power is restored,
the stove will not restart. If the exhaust temperature is still 120
degrees Fahrenheit when power is restored, the exhaust and
convection fans will continue to run until the stove cools. See
"Operation" section for instructions on restarting the stove.
OVERHEATING
Over Fire Protection: If the stove is being over fired or burning
too hot, the high limit switches will automatically shut down
the stove to avoid damage to components. The exhaust fan will
continue to run until the proof of fire switch cools. Allow stove
to cool before attempting to re-ignite. See the "Operation"
section for more information.
