QUICK START GUIDE - MONTAGE™ PELLET STOVE 32FS
WARNING
Before you set up or operate your stove, review all safety, installation,
and operation instructions in your “Installation and Operation Manual.”
USING THIS GUIDE
This guide contains 5 easy steps to help you learn more about using
your new Montage pellet stove. Detailed operating and cleaning instructions are located in the “Installation and Operation Manual.”
PURCHASING THE CORRECT FUEL FOR THE STOVE
1
The Montage™ pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. We recommend
burning Premium Grade wood pellet fuel manufactured by companies who are members of
the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI). Although similar in appearance to those made of wood, other
pelletized fuels such as wheat, barley, or corn will adversely affect the performance of the
stove and may compromise safety.
