Operating Instructions
A. Fire Safety
You can never be too cautious when it comes to
fire safety. Please give serious consideration to the
following:
• Install at least one smoke detector and CO detector
on each level of the home.
• Locate detectors away from the appliance and
close to the sleeping quarters.
• Follow the manufacturer's guidelines on placement
and installation as well as maintaining regularly.
• Place a Class A fire extinguisher nearby to contend
with small fires.
• In the event of a fuel hopper fire:
• Evacuate the house immediately.
• Notify the Fire Department.
B. Fuel and Fuel Storage
Pellet fuel quality can fluctuate. This appliance is
designed to burn a wide variety of pellet fuel, giving
you the freedom to choose the most economical fuel
in your area.
Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends
that you choose a fuel that is recognized by the Pellet
Fuels Institute (PFI)
Pellet fuels are made from sawdust, or other wood
fibers. The source material determines the ash and
heat content. Higher ash content fuel, or Standard
Grade, may contain bark, leaves, stems, or other
by-products. Higher ash may not mean more or less
heat value, but it will require more maintenance and
cleaning. Low ash content fuel, or Premium Grade, is
made from only the cleanest sawdust. Cleaning and
maintenance are greatly reduced while typically higher
heat value is experienced.
APPROVED FUELS
• Wood Pellets- Any grade of wood or biomass
pelletized fuel. Pellets should be either 1/4 inch or
5/16 inch (6 - 8mm) in diameter, and no more than
1½" (38mm) in length.
• Shelled Field Corn- Corn is approved for use as
a fuel ONLY when mixed with pellets. The tested
mixture is up to 50% corn. Since corn is grown as
a feed source, and not as a fuel, there are many
possible inconsistencies with regards to burning.
Because of this, you may not be successful with
the maximum mixture, and may need to reduce
the percentage of corn in the mix. Corn should
have a moisture content of 15% or less. Corn for
burning should be clean and free of debris, stalks
and pieces of cob.
cauTion! do not burn fuel that contains an
additive; (such as soybean oil)
• May cause hopper fire
• Damage to product may result
Read the list of ingredients on the packaging. If you
are buying field corn, the only ingredient listed should
be field corn.
CAUTION! Risk of Chemical Poisoning!
Do NOT burn treated seed corn
• Exhaust gases are toxic
• Chemicals used to treat are harmful or fatal if
ingested.
• Burning seed corn will void the product warranty.
STORAGE
Fuel should be stored in a dry area, preferably indoors,
and well away from the appliance clearance area.
Corn, for mixture, should be stored in a sealed
container to prevent mold growth and to deter pests.
Remember, corn is a food source and will attract
rodents and other pests.
CAUTION
Tested and approved for use with wood pellets
and a mixture of shelled field corn and wood
pellets ONLY. Burning of any other fuel will void
your warranty.
Hearth & Home Technologies is not responsible for
stove performance or extra maintenance required
as a result of using fuel with higher ash or mineral
content.
