has important operating and maintenance in-
structions that you will need at a later time.
Always follow the instructions in this manual.
ÌThis heater is designed and approved for pre-
mium hardwood pellet fuel only. Any other
type of fuel burned in this heater will void the
warranty and safety listing.
ÌNever use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liq-

Keep all such liquids well away from the stove
while it is in use.
ÌA working smoke detector must be installed in
the same room as this product.
ÌThe use of outside air is mandatory for safe op-
eration of this unit.
ÌDo not unplug the stove if you suspect a mal-
function. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to ”OFF’
and contact your dealer.
ÌYour stove requires periodic maintenance and
cleaning (see ”MAINTENANCE ”). Failure to
maintain your stove may lead to improper
and/or unsafe operation.
ÌDisconnect the power cord before performing
any maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF
Switch to ”OFF” does not disconnect all power
to the electrical components of the stove.
ÌNever try to repair or replace any part of the
stove unless instructions for doing so are
given in this manual. All other work should be
done by a trained technician.
ÌAllow the stove to cool before performing any
maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be dis-
posed in a metal container with a tight fitting
lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible surface or on the
ground, well away from all combustible mate-
rials, pending final disposal.
ÌThe exhaust system should be checked monthly
during the burning season for any build-up of
soot or creosote.
ÌDo not touch the hot surfaces of the stove.
Educate all children on the dangers of a high-
temperature stove. Young children should be
supervised when they are in the same room as
the stove.
ÌThe hopper and stove top will be hot during op-
eration; therefore, you should always use
some type of hand protection when refueling
your stove.
ÌA power surge protector is required. This unit
must be plugged into a 110 - 120V, 60 Hz
grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an
adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do
not route the electrical cord underneath, in
front of, or over the heater. Do not route the
cord in foot traffic areas or pinch the cord un-
der furniture.
ÌThe heater will not operate during a power out-
age. If a power outage does occur, check the
heater for smoke spillage and open a window
if any smoke spills into the room.
ÌThe feed door, hopper lid, and ash pan must be
closed and sealed during operation.
ÌNever block free airflow through the open vents
of the unit.
