A. Fire Safety

Clinkers

To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

Install at least one smoke detector and CO monitor on each floor of your home.

Locate detectors away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas.

Follow the detector’s manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions and maintain regularly.

Conveniently locate a fire extinguisher to contend with small fires.

In the event of a hopper fire:

Evacute the house immediately.

Notify fire department.

B.Combustible/Non-Combustible Materials

Combustible Material

Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or any material capable of igniting and burning, whether flame-proofed or not, plastered or unplastered.

Non-combustible Material

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.

Firestop Non-combustible Sealant Material

Sealants which will not ignite and burn.

C. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever possible. However, we do recommend trying various brands before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.

Fuel Material

Made from sawdust or wood by-products

Depending on the source material it may have a high or low ash content.

Higher Ash Content Material

Hardwoods with a high mineral content

Fuel that contains bark

Standard grade pellets and high ash pellets

Lower Ash Content Material

Softwoods

Fuels with low mineral content

Premium grade pellets

CAUTION! Do not burn fuel that contains an additive; (such as soybean oil).

Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as sand will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called a clinker when heated in the firepot.

Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. That is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others.

Moisture

Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content takes heat from the fuel and tends to cool the appliance, robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet fuel can clog the feed system.

Size

Pellets are either 6 or 8mm in diameter

Length should be no more that 38mm

Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same manufacturer

Due to length variations, the flame height (feed rate) may need adjusting occasionally. See page 10 for instructions.

Performance

Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied more frequently

Hardwoods require more air to burn properly

Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.

Burning pellets longer than 38mm can cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.

CAUTION! Tested and approved for wood pellets. Burning of any other type of fuel voids your warranty.

Storage

Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag until using to prevent moisture absorption.

Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance requirements or in an area that would hinder routine cleaning and maintenance.

May cause hopper fires

Damage to product may result
