Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke 
coming from it.  Turn it off, monitor it, and call your 
dealer. 
 
Never try to repair or replace any part of the 
stove unless instructions are given in this 
manual. All other work should be done by a 
trained technician. 
 
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, 
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to 
start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all 
such liquids well away from the stove while in use. 
 
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. 
 
Never block free airflow through the open vents of 
the stove. 
 
Do not place clothing or other flammable 
items on or near the stove. 
 
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.

during operation. 
 
The stove will not operate during a power outage. 
If an outage does occur, check the stove for 
smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke 
spills into the room. 
 
Do not operate the stove if the flame 
becomes dark and sooty or if the burnpot 
overfills with pellets. Turn the stove off, 
periodically inspect it, and call your dealer. 
 
Disconnect the power cord before performing any 
maintenance or repairs on the stove. 
NOTE: Turning the stove “off” does not disconnect 
all power from the stove. 
 
Hot while in operation. Keep children, 
clothing, and furniture away. Contact may 
cause skin burns. Educate all children of the 
danger of a high temperature stove. Young 
children should be supervised when they are 
in the same room as the stove. 
 
During the start up period; 
1) DO NOT 
open the 
viewing door; 
2) DO NOT
 open the damper more 
than ¾”; 
3) DO NOT
 add pellets to the burnpot 
by hand; 
4
DO NOT
 use the Fuel Feed button 
(unless you are priming the auger after running 
out of pellets) as a dangerous condition could 
result. 
 
If the stove is installed in a room without air 
conditioning, or in an area where direct 
sunlight can shine on the unit, it is possible 
this can cause the temperature of the stove to 
rise to operational levels; one of the sensors 
could then make the stove start on its own. It 
is recommended that the stove be unplugged 
when not in use for extended amounts of time 
(i.e. during the summer months). 
 
Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a 
malfunction. Turn the stove off, periodically 
inspect it, and call your dealer. 
 
 
 
Contact your local building officials to obtain a 
permit and information on any installation 
restrictions or inspection requirements in your 
area. Notify your insurance company of this stove 
as well. 
 
The exhaust system must be completely 
airtight and properly installed. The pellet vent 
joints must be sealed with RTV 500°F 
(260°C) silicone sealant, and with UL-181-AP 
foil tape. 
 
This unit must be properly installed to prevent the 
possibility of a house fire. The instructions must be 
strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods 
or compromise in the installation. 
 
Allow the stove to cool before carrying out 
any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be 
disposed in a metal container with a tight lid 
and placed on a no combustible surface well 
away from the home structure. 
 
Your stove requires periodic maintenance and 
cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead 
to smoke spillage in your home.

pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of 
fuel burned in this heater will void the 
warranty and safety listing.

route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or 
over the stove.
