SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

oDo not operate the heater if you smell smoke coming from the heater. Push the “OFF” Touch pad, monitor your heater, and call your dealer.

oNever use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ’freshen up’ a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

oDon’t unplug the heater if you suspect a malfunction. Push the “OFF” Touch pad and inspect the heater.

oDo not operate the heater if the flame becomes dark & sooty or if the firepot overfills with pellets. Push the ”OFF” Touch pad and periodically inspect the heater (see ”Operating Your Stove”).

oNever try to repair or replace any part of the heater unless instructions for consumer are given in this manual. All other work should be done by a trained technician.

oThe viewing door and ash pan must be closed and latched during operation.

oNever block free airflow through the open vents of the unit.

oContact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this heater as well.

oThe pellet appliance exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure, therefore the exhaust system must be completely airtight and properly installed. All pellet vent joints must be sealed with HI-TEMP RTV silicone sealant and at least 3 sheet metal screws, to each other as well as to the heater.

oThis unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a house fire. The instructions must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods, which may compromise the installation.

oYour heater requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (see ”Operating Your Stove”). Failure to maintain your heater may lead to smoke spillage in your home.

oAllow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed 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 materials, pending final disposal.

oThis heater is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this heater will void the warranty and safety listing.

oThe heater will not operate during a power outage. If a power outage does occur, check the heater for smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into the room.

oKeep foreign objects out of the hopper.
