Fall Startup. Prior to lighting the first fire check the outside area around the exhaust and
air intake systems for obstructions. Try all controls to see that they are working prior to
lighting a fire.
SAFE OPERATION.
1. Disposal of Ashes. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
2.
Never use Gasoline, gasoline type lantern fluid. Kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid
or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such
liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
3.
Creosote, Soot and Fly Ash: Formation and Need for Removal. The products of
combustion will contain small particles of Fly Ash. The fly ash will collect in the
venting system and restrict the flow of flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such
as occurs during start-up and shut-down, or incorrect operation of the room
heater will lead to some soot or creosote formation which will collect in the
venting system. The exhaust system should be inspected regularly during the
heating season to determine if creosote buildup has occurred. Check more
frequently at first to determine a schedule for cleaning the venting system based
on individual use of this Corn/Pellet-burning heater. If creosote has accumulated,
it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
4.
Do not Overfire this unit. Follow all instructions regarding the proper use of
this heater.
CAUTION: The Electrical Components of the stove are not Owner Serviceable.
Call your dealer for proper diagnosis of electrical problems and service to those
components. See Installations Manual for a copy of the Wiring Schematic.
