Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends only
using Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) certied fuel.

• Depending on the source material it may have a high
or low ash content.
Higher Ash Content Material
• Hardwoods with a high mineral content
• Fuel that contains bark
• Standard grade pellets, high ash pellets,
Lower Ash Content Material
• Softwoods
• Fuels with low mineral content
• Premium grade pellets
A. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
• Install at least one smoke detector and CO monitor on
each oor of your home.
• Locate detectors away from the heating appliance and
close to the sleeping areas.
• Follow the detector’s manufacturer’s placement and
installation instructions and maintain regularly.
• A CO detector should be installed in the room with
the appliance.
• Conveniently locate a Class A re extinguisher to
contend with small res.
• In the event of a hopper re:
• Evacuate the house immediately.
• Notify re department.

combination of the following:
- Steel
- Plaster
- Brick
- Iron
- Concrete
- Tile
- Glass
- Slate
Materials reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard
Test Method for Behavior of Metals, in a Vertical Tube
Furnace of 750° C.
C. Combustible Materials
Material made of/or surfaced with any of the following
materials:
- Wood
- Compressed Paper
- Plant Fibers
- Plastic
- Plywood/OSB
- Sheet Rock (drywall)
Any material that can ignite and burn: ame proofed or not,
plastered or non-plastered.
CAUTION
Do not burn fuel that contains an additive; (such as
soybean oil).
• May cause hopper res
• Damage to product may result
Read the ingredients list on the package. If you are buying
corn the only ingredient that should be listed is corn.
Clinkers
Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as
sand will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called a
clinker when heated in the repot.
Trees from di󰀨erent areas will vary in mineral content. That
is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others.
Moisture
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture
content takes heat from the fuel and tends to cool the
appliance, robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet fuel
can clog the feed system.
Size
• Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm)
in diameter
• Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)
• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the
same manufacturer
• Due to length variations, the ame height (feed rate)
may need adjusting occasionally. See page 10
for instructions.
