Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT: Read this entire manual before installing and operating this product. Failure to do so may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Proper installation of this furnace is crucial for safe and efficient operation.

Install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.

Do not connect the pellet vent to a vent serving any other appliance or furnace.

Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.

Use of outside air is not required for this unit. However, fresh air and return air make-up is required for maximum burn characteristics and heat distribution throughout your house.

Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any additional installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area.

Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.

This heater is designed and approved as a multi-fuel, such as corn or wood pellets, burning furnace. Use only dried shelled corn with a moisture content of 11% or less (which provides the best results). A pellet type fuel used should have an ash content of 1% or less. If not, efficiency will suffer, and your warranty may be voided.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ’freshen up’ a fire in this furnace. Keep all such liquids well away from the furnace while it is in use.

A working smoke detector must be installed in the same room as this product.

Do not unplug the furnace if you suspect a malfunction. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to ”OFF’ and contact your dealer.

Your furnace requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (see ”MAINTENANCE ”). Failure to maintain your furnace may lead to improper and/or unsafe operation.

Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance! NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to ”OFF” does not disconnect all power to the electrical components of the furnace.

Never try to repair or replace any part of the furnace unless instructions for doing so are given in this manual. All other work should be done by a trained technician.

Allow the furnace to cool before performing any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non- combustible surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

The exhaust system should be checked monthly during the burning season for any build-up of soot or creosote.

Do not touch the hot surfaces of the furnace. Educate all children on the dangers of a high-temperature furnace. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the furnace.

A power surge protector is recommended. This unit must be plugged into a 110 - 120V, 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or over the furnace. Do not route the cord in foot traffic areas or pinch the cord under furniture.

The furnace will not operate during a power outage. If a power outage does occur, check the furnace for smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into the room.

The feed door must be closed and sealed during operation.

Never block free airflow through the open vents of the unit.

Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.

The moving parts of this furnace are propelled by high torque electric motors. Keep all body parts away from the auger while the furnace is plugged into an electrical outlet. These moving parts may begin to move at any time while the furnace is plugged in.

Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near this furnace.

This appliance is not intended for commercial use.
