Page 2

Dear Glow Boy Multi-Fuel / Pellet Stove Owner:

CONGRATULATIONS on the purchase of your Glow Boy Multi-fuel pellet appliance! You have selected the finest in residential wood pellet heating technology.

Let us pass on a few "tips" concerning installing your stove and heating with wood pellets.

1.Whether you install your stove yourself or hire a professional installer, a quality installation is a must for the safety of your family and for efficient, satisfactory operation of your stove.

2.Initial Burn Setup of the stove is the most important step to ensure the efficient and satisfactory operation of your appliance for many years to come. Pellet appliances ARE NOT plug ‘n play.

3.Know the quality and characteristics of the pellets or fuel you burn. Pellets can vary greatly from company to company, from load to load and occasionally from bag to bag.

4.Be extra diligent in your cleaning program.

5.Remember that most operational dilemmas with a pellet stove are usually traced back to Improper installation, poor quality pellets and/or a lack of timely cleaning.

With just a minimum of daily care your Glow Boy pellet appliance will provide years of clean, efficient, comfortable and environmentally sound heating.

Thank you for selecting a Glow Boy multi-fuel pellet appliance.

Sincerely,

Canadian Comfort Industries &

Dansons Inc.
