SAFETY WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Be sure to read the entire owner’s manual prior to installing and operating this pellet fuel burning
heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
2. The use of grates or other methods of supporting the fuel is not permitted.
3. This unit is designed to burn pellet wood fuel only. Do not use any other type of fuel; this will void any
warranties stated in this manual. THE USE OF CORDWOOD IS PROHIBTED BY LAW.
4. This appliance is designed for residential installation according to current national and local building
codes.
5. It is recommended that exhaust venting be cleaned bi-annually or after every two tons of pellets.
6. Soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an
extremely rich burn (black tipped lazy orange flames). Do not operate the stove if the flame becomes
dark or sooty or if the burn pot overfills with pellets. Use a better quality pellet if soot or creosote
becomes a problem. Turn the stove off and call your dealer to discuss your installation and the fuel you
are using if needed. Check the venting system at least twice a year for creosote buildup and clean to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire if a layer of 3mm or more is present.
7. The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard 120 volt, 15A or 20A, 60 hertz
electrical outlet. Ensure that the electrical cord is not trapped under the appliance and that it is clear of
any hot surfaces or sharp edges.
8. Be sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained when passing venting through walls,
ceilings or roofs. Use only listed type “L” or “PL” pipe and fittings.
9. The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet
stove. Do not operate with door open. Maintain gaskets and seals in good condition.
10. This appliance will not operate using natural draft or without power for the blowers.
11. DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN. A fire in the ash pan may
occur.
12. Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the unit with broken
glass. Do not attempt to clean the glass while unit is hot. To clean the glass, use soft cotton cloth and
mild window cleaner, glass or woodstove cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
13. Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke coming from it. Press the power button

cord before performing any maintenance or repair only after properly shutting down stove and allowing
