Section D- Fuel Selection
This wood stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or too green or freshly cut hardwoods.
DO NOT BURN: treated wood, coal, garbage, cardboard, solvents, colored paper, trash, painted wood, rubber, plastic, sulfur, oil, metal foils, or flammable fluids.
Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents, colored paper, sulfur, oil, metal foils, or trash may result in release of toxic fumes and may poison or render ineffective the catalytic combustor. Burning coal, cardboard, or loose paper can produce soot or large flakes of char or fly ash that can plug the combustor, cause smoke spillage into the room, and rendering the combustor ineffective. Store fuel in a dry place. Do not place fuel within space heater installation clearances or within the space required for ash
