Page 2
Thank you for purchasing the HYBRID-45 MF pellet stove. You are now prepared to burn
wood in the most efficient, convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most efficient and
most enjoyable performance from your stove, you must do three things: 1) Install it properly;
2) Operate it correctly; and 3) Maintain it regularly. The purpose of this manual is to help you
do all three.
PLEASE read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning
room heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage,
bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
You Osburn Hydbrid-45MF has been independently tested to ASTM E1509-95 Standard
Specification for Room Heaters, Pellet Fuel Burning Type 1, UL 1482-1998 Standard for Solid
Fuel Room Heaters, Oregon Administrative Rules for Mobile Homes (814-23-900 through
814-23-909) and Installation as a Stove Heater.
This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
and
CSA-C22.1.
This appliance is designed specifically for use only with pelletized wood. It is designed for
residential installation according to current national and local building codes as a freestanding
room heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater which is designed for connection to
an outside combustion air source.
The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower
systems and fuel feed system and must not be burned with any type of coal.
This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the fire in order to
burn free of smoke and soot. Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously
degrade its performance and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window.
For best operation, the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the calorific
value approximately 8,200 BTU/LB. Avoid high ash content fuels because this will rapidly fill
up the burn pot and eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
Commercial and industrial installations of the Osburn Hybrid-45 MF should not be used since
operational control is often not well managed in these settings.
