Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT: Read this entire manual before installing and operating this product. Failure to do so may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Proper installation of this stove is crucial for safe and efficient operation.

Install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.

Do not connect the pellet vent to a vent serving any other appliance or stove.

Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.

Use of outside air is required for this unit.

Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any additional installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area.

Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.

This heater is designed and approved for premium hardwood pellet fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this heater will void the warranty and safety listing.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ’freshen up’ a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.

A working smoke detector must be installed in the same room as this product.

The use of outside air is mandatory for safe operation of this unit.

Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to ”OFF’ and contact your dealer.

Your stove requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (see ”MAINTENANCE ”). Failure to maintain your stove may lead to improper and/or unsafe operation.

Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to ”OFF” does not disconnect all power to the electrical components of the stove.

Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions for doing so are given in this manual. All other work should be done by a trained technician.

Allow the stove 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 noncombustible surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

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 stove. Educate all children on the dangers of a high-temperature stove. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the stove.

The hopper and stove top will be hot during operation; therefore, you should always use some type of hand protection when refueling your stove.

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 feed door must be closed and sealed during operation.

Never block free airflow through the open vents of the unit.

Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.

The moving parts of this stove are propelled by high torque electric motors. Keep all body parts away from the auger while the stove is plugged into an electrical outlet. These moving parts may begin to move at any time while the stove is plugged in.

Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near this stove.

When installed in a mobile home, the stove must be grounded directly to the steel chassis and bolted to the floor. WARNING—THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN THE BEDROOM (per HUD requirements). CAUTION—THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

This appliance is not intended for commercial use.
