intervals between cleaning.
CLINKER CLEANING:
Clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the fuel that will form a hard mass during the burning process.
This hard mass will block the airflow through the burn pot and affect the performance of the stove. Any fuel,
even approved types, may tend to clinker. Check the burn pot daily to ensure that the holes are not blocked
with clinkers. If they become blocked, remove the burn pot (when the unit is cold) and clean/scrape the
clinkers out. Clean the holes with a small pointed object if required.
ELECTRICAL:
The use of a surge protector is recommended and the stove must be grounded. The electrical cord should be
connected to a standard 1 1 5 volt, 15A or 20A, 60 hertz electrical outlet. Do not run cord under the appliance,
keep accessible and clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges. If the power cord should become damaged, a
replacement power cord must be purchased from the manufacture or a qualified dealer. The stove’s
maximum power requirement is 520 watts (4.5 amps).
GLASS:
Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the stove with broken
glass. The stove uses ceramic glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from a qualified dealer. We are
not liable for glass purchased independently. Keep glass clean for better viewing and heat radiation.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS:
Never use flammable liquid such as gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or
similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater
while it is in use.
SMOKE DETECTOR:
Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained in the structure (home) when installing and operating a
pellet burning appliance.
OPERATION:The ash pan and door must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove.
Also ensure all gaskets on the door are checked and replaced when necessary.
KEEP ASH PAN FREE OF RAW FUEL. DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH
PAN AS A FIRE IN THE ASH PAN MAY OCCUR.
INSTALLATION
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs
and use only listed type “L” or “PL” pipe and fittings. It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position
in order to avoid any displacement. Do not use makeshift compromises during installation.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. DO NOT
CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
FRESH AIR INTAKE:
An outside fresh intake air supply is optional but must be used for all units installed in mobile and air tight
homes or where required by local codes. Consider all large air moving devices when installing your unit and
