IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. Installation of this pellet/corn unit should be performed by a professional only. Check local
installation codes for your area. Call your Homeowner’s Insurance representative for
inspection of your stove’s installation.
2. Read and comply with the instructions in this manual.
3. This unit should be tested (dry run) for 20 minutes before loading corn or pellets. The stove
should automatically shut itself off after the 20-minute dry run.
4. Your stove is designed to burn Premium Pellets, if using pellets instead of corn.
Pellets with high ash content will burn dirty and require the unit to be cleaned more often.
5. Be sure your corn or pellets are not damp or wet. If your corn is too damp, this stove may
not be able to run on the lower Heat Range settings (the fire will die out). Be sure to keep
sawdust out of the unit.
6. Use three-inch (3”) U.L.-approved CORN VENT TWIST-LOCK PIPE when installing this
stove and
follow the manufacturer’s specifications for installation and clearances (we highly
recommend Simpson Dura-Vent corn twist-lock pipe). Even though this pipe interlocks, it is
a good idea to seal all connections with high temperature silicone. Use at least three
screws to secure the pipe to this unit’s exhaust blower. Also, if you do not use U.L.-
approved twist-lock corn pipe, be sure to use U.L.-approved Corn Vent pipe, and fasten
each joint of the pipe with at least three screws.
7. Outside combustion air is mandatory for these units to work properly. Make this connection
using a 1

” I.D. metal pipe (steel, aluminum or copper) and coupler. Be sure to secure
the pipe to the unit with a clamp or aluminum tape. The outside end should be covered
(screened) to prevent any foreign matter from entering the system. Try to keep the number
of bends in this pipe to a minimum. Our Part Number PU-OAK (Outside Air Kit with flex
pipe) can be used.
NOTE: If the total run of the connection exceeds 6’, use 3” metal pipe and coupler instead.
8. Regularly inspect the burn pot area and, if any crust forms, remove it with a poker.
9. The ash in the burn pot should be removed regularly, depending on your burn rate. The
area to the right and left of the burn pot is for ash storage; keep the air holes in the burn pot
clean for a more efficient burn. Check your exhaust system frequently. Refer to “Ash
Removal and Disposal” section.
10. Keep corn, pellets and all other combustible materials a safe distance from the unit.
11. This unit will require floor protection if installed on a combustible surface. The minimum
floor protector for this unit is 36” x 36” which should give you at least six inches (6”) of
protection at the rear and at each side, and six inches (6”) minimum in the front of the unit.
