PELLET QUALITY IS IMPORTANT,

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PAGE

Your pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Since there are many manufacturers of wood pellets it is important to select pellets that are free of dirt or any impurities. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufactures. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.

THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR PELLET STOVE IS GREATLY EFFECTED BY THE TYPE AND QUALITY OF WOOD PELLETS BEING BURNED. AS THE HEAT OUTPUT OF VARIOUS QUALITY WOOD PELLETS DIFFER, SO WILL THE PERFORMANCE AND HEAT OUTPUT OF THE PELLET STOVE.

Since Sherwood Industries Ltd. has no control over the quality of pellets that you use, we assume no liability caused by the quality of wood pellets used.

P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:
Fines	1% maximum through a 1/8” screen
Bulk Density	40 lbs. per cubic foot minimum
Size	1/4” to 3/8” diameter 1 – 1.5” long maximum
Ash Content	1% maximum
Moisture Content	8% maximum
Heat Content	approximately 8200 Btu per lb. minimum

Check the burn-pot liner periodically to ensure that the holes are not blocked with clinkers, (clinkers are silica in the fuel that form a hard mass during the burning process). If they are blocked, remove the liner (when the unit is cold) and clean the clinkers out. The liner should be cleaned or scraped once every 2-3 days depending on wood pellet quality. Clean the holes in the lines with a small pointed object.

Store pellets at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove.
