PELLET QUALITY
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Heater has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do not use any other type of fuel such as fire logs or fire starting pellet, as this will void the warranties stated in this manual.
The performance and heat output of the pellet heater is directly related to the quality and moisture of the pellets.
Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption.
!WARNING
It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt con- tent. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.
