A. Fire Safety

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

Install at least one smoke detector and CO monitor on each

oor 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 Class A fi re extinguisher to contend with small fi res.

In the event of a hopper fi re:

Evacute the house immediately.

Notify fi re department.

B. Combustible/Non-Combustible Materials

Combustible Material

Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fi bers, plastics, or any material capable of igniting and burning, whether fl ame-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.

Non-combustible Sealant Material

Sealants which will not ignite and burn: Rutland, Inc. Fireplace Mortar #63, Rutland 76R, Nufl ex 304, GE RTV106 or GE RTB116 (or equivalent).

C.Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. The EDGE 60 appliance has been designed to burn a wide variety of fuels, giving you the choice to use the fuel that is most economical in your region.

Hearth & Home Techonologies strongly recommends only using Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) certifi ed fuel.

Fuel Material

Made from sawdust or wood by-products

Shelled fi eld corn & other biomass fuels

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, high ash pellets, corn and other biomass fuels

Lower Ash Content Material

Softwoods

Fuels with low mineral content

Premium grade pellets

Shelled Field Corn

Must be 15% or less moisture content.

Must be clean and free from debris

Never burn corn straight from the fi eld

Stalk parts, excessive fi nes and cob remnants, etc. will clog the auger mechanism

Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened by sifting with 3/16 inch (4.7mm) mesh screening

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

May cause hopper fi res

Damage to product may result

Read the ingredients list on the package. If you are buying corn or wheat the only ingredient that should be listed is corn or wheat.

WARNING! Risk of Chemical Poisoning!

Do NOT burn treated seed corn

Chemical pesticides are harmful or fatal if swallowed

Burning treated seed corn will void your warranty

Clinkers

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

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 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in diameter

Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)

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

Due to length variations, the fl ame height (feed rate) may need adjusting occasionally. See page 12 for instructions.

Performance

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

Hardwoods require more air to burn properly

Set wall control to “Utility Pellet” if the fi repot and ash pan are fi lling quickly. This will cause the auto-clean system to empty the fi repot more often.

Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output.

Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed ignitions.

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.
