General Information
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service professional. The stove should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a service professional. More frequent cleaning may be required due to fuel
quality, excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burn
pot and pot holder, and circulating air passageways of the stove be kept clean and free of ash buildup, lint,
and dust.
The Tiburon pellet stove has been designed and approved for burning PREMIUM WOOD PELLETS OF HIGHEST
BTU OUTPUT AND LOWEST % OF ASH CONTENT ONLY.
Burning bio mass fuels in other forms or poor quality pellet fuel is not permitted and will void your warranty
and/or could cause a burn back or house fire. FOR BEST RESULTS THE WOOD PELLET FUEL SHOULD BE ¼”
DIAMETER AND APPROXIMATELY 1” LONG.
Store fuel in a covered, dry area. Pellet bags can absorb moisture and must be kept dry. Never place bags of
fuel next to the heater. Keep fuel away from combustible materials and moisture. NEVER use gasoline,
gasoline type lantern fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire.
Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
Pellet ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally disbursed, they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly extinguished.
NOTE: During the first few burns (up to 2 – 4 hours) the high-temperature paint and sealant used in the
manufacture will emit some odor and smoke. Open doors and windows to the outside for proper ventilation
during the first burn cycle and the curing of the paint. SEE INITIAL FIRING PROCESS PAMPHLET WITH STOVE.
This stove must be electrically grounded according to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.
Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber and provide adequate
accessibility clearance for servicing and proper operation. Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
