13. This unit should be turned off and allowed to cool prior to cleaning. Any ashes should be
kept in an airtight metal container and not disposed of until they are completely cooled.
14. Read the instructions thoroughly, including instructions concerning the digital control board,
and save them for future reference.
15. Do not allow paint, chemicals or construction dust on or near your unit. Do not allow liquid
or ANY foreign materials on or inside your unit. Shut your unit down and cover it when
painting, construction or similar activity is taking place. Wipe and clean your unit after any
construction is done in your home, or if any foreign material gets on or inside your unit. You
may also need to remove the rear and side cover plates to your unit (unplug unit first) and
vacuum and clean the motors and inside of your unit.
16. Improper gasket maintenance, including failure to replace gaskets, can cause air leaks
resulting in smoke-backs.
17. Remember that, as with any appliance, there is user responsibility involved, including
installation, operation and maintenance of this product. Be sure to check local codes, and
call Customer Service at (800) 245-6489 if you have any questions.
18. Be sure to follow the directions of all manufacturers of third party products that you
use, including exhaust pipe, etc. Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, charcoal lighter
fluid, diesel fuel or any other flammable liquid to start the fire. If you manually start
your unit, recommended fire starter materials are: Wax-impregnated wood chips,
cardboard cubes or firestarter gel designed for pellet stoves (see section on Manually
Starting Unit). Follow any manufacturer’s directions for these products, and NEVER
place gel or any firestarter on any hot surface or hot coals. Never apply any
firestarter products of any kind to a hot surface or hot coals.
19. Basement Installation: We recommend basement installation be performed only by a
professional installer. For basement installations, a 3” (three inch) pipe and coupler must be
used for Outside Combustion Air, and a minimum clearance of 3’ (three feet) must be
maintained from the ground to the pellet vent exhaust pipe outside the dwelling. Keep in
mind that each elbow used reduces draft by 15%; it is good practice to add 3’ (three feet) of
vertical rise for each elbow used. Example: After the 2
nd
elbow used, have 6’ (six feet) of
vertical rise before terminating your vent pipe.
UNIT PREPARATION
1. Attach the spring handle to the door by turning it counterclockwise. Important: Also check
hopper latches – must be tight so that the top is sealed to prevent back-burn.
2. Test your 110-volt outlet for current and then plug in the unit. (We highly
recommend a surge protector for our pellet unit, as the control panel is electronic).
3. It is important to note that this stove is equipped with a dual auger system. The top
auger runs intermittently and drops pellets to the bottom auger; the bottom auger
runs constantly and simply pushes the pellets forward to the burn pot. The control
board (“Heat Range”) setting determines the top auger feed rate.
4. The stove has a digital read-out control board and is started by pressing the “ON”
