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.
• 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.
B. Non-Combustible Materials
Material which will not ignite and burn, composed of any
combination of the following:
- Steel - Plaster - Glass - Tile
- Brick - Iron - Slate - Concrete
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:
- Compressed Paper - Wood - Plywood/OSB
- Sheet Rock (drywall) - Plastic - Plant Fibers
Any material that can ignite and burn: ame proofed or not,
plastered or non-plastered.
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 re pot.
Trees from different 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 25 for
instructions.
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.
