INSTALLATION CHECK LIST
Unless you are knowledgeable and experienced in stove installation, we strongly recommend
that an Authorized Buffalo Pellet Stove Dealer, Buffalo Pellet Stove Factory Service
Representative or an experienced pellet stove installer/technician, install your Buffalo Pellet Stove.
Complete this checklist prior to turning on your Buffalo Pellet Stove for the first time.
Thoroughly read this entire owner’s manual. SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE!
Request that your Buffalo Pellet Stove dealer review operation of the stove and all
cleaning/maintenance procedures necessary to ensure optimum performance.
Obtain all necessary permits from local municipalities for stove installation and has
had the installation inspected by a local building inspector.
Proper location of the appliance within the home; the layout of your home and the
selected installation location of your pellet burning appliance will determine its
effectiveness as a heat source within your home. This pellet-burning appliance will
put heated air into the room or area of your home within which the stove is installed.
The heated air generated by the appliance depends on air circulation to distribute
heat to other areas of your home.
It is strongly suggested that sufficient space be provided (a minimum of 24”) on each
side of the appliance to enable the unit to be serviced. If this space is unavailable
upon installation, a provision must be made to enable sliding the stove out for service.
Use only PL type venting for pellet vent exhaust system. Use stainless steel
liner for venting through any existing chimney. Under NO circumstances can
plastic piping be utilized in any part of the stove’s exhaust system.
Plug stove into a 3-pronged, 120VAC, 60 Hz, grounded outlet. Stove cannot be
plugged into a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) outlet. It is recommended that a surge
protector be utilized to protect the control circuitry in the stove from erratic power
surges.
* Note: It is extremely important that the AC power provided to this stove
be properly wired (hot and neutral correctly wired, not reversed). Test
the outlet providing power to the stove by using an electrical outlet
tester. This Buffalo Pellet Stove will not function properly if AC power
provided to the appliance is reversed.
If outside air is going to be provided to the stove, use of metal pipe (rigid or
flexible) is required.
After installation is complete, recheck the installation to confirm that all installation
requirements identified in this manual have been met. If required, schedule a
post-installation inspection with your local building inspector.
