Sherwood EF-3 BAYI Manuel D’Utilisation

 
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.
