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reextinguishertocontendwithsmall
res.
• Intheeventofahopperre:
 • Evacutethehouseimmediately.
• Notifyredepartment.
B. Combustible/Non-Combustible Materials
• Combustible Material
Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant bers, plastics, or any material capable
of igniting and burning, whether ame-proofed or not,
plasteredorunplastered.
• Non-combustible Material
 Materialwhichwillnotigniteandburn.Suchmaterialsare
thoseconsistingentirelyofsteel,iron,brick,tile,slate,
glassorplasters,oranycombinationthereof.
• Non-combustible Sealant Material
 Sealantswhichwillnotigniteandburn:CRCManiseal
Exhaust Cement, High Temperature Silicone (TRV)
Sealant(orequivalent).
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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6or8mmindiameter
• Lengthshouldbenomorethat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.
Performance
• Higherashcontentrequirestheashdrawertobeemptied
morefrequently
• Hardwoodsrequiremoreairtoburnproperly
• Premiumwoodpelletsproducethehighestheatoutput.
• Burningpelletslongerthan38mmcancauseaninconsistent
fuelfeedrateand/ormissedignitions.
C. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage
Pellet fuel quality can greatly uctuate.  We recommend
thatyou buy fuel complying with the woodpellet standard
AS/NZS 4014.6:2008 However, we do recommend trying
various brands before purchasing multi-ton lots to ensure
yoursatisfaction.
FuelMaterial
• Madefromsawdustorwoodby-products
• 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andhighashpellets
LowerAshContentMaterial
• Softwoods
• Fuelswithlowmineralcontent
• Premiumgradepellets
Storage
• Woodpelletsshouldbeleftintheiroriginalsealedbaguntil
usingtopreventmoistureabsorption.
• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance
requirements or in an area that would hinder routine
cleaningandmaintenance.
