This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and CSA-C22.1.

The bottom-feed burner system of this appliance is designed and tested specifically for use only with four different types of pellets: standard wood pellets, 100% bark pellets, sawdust/hay mix pellets, and switch grass pellets. This appliance is designed for residential installation according to current national and local building codes as a freestanding room heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater. An outside combustion air source is mandatory.

The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system and must not be burned with any type of coal.

This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the fire in order to burn free of smoke and soot. Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously degrade its performance and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window. For best operation, the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the calorific value approximately 8,200 BTU/LB. Others fuels with a high ash content will require a higher levels of maintenance and cleaning.

Commercial and industrial installations of the Drolet ECO-65 should not be used since operational control is often not well managed in these settings.
