Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Appliance has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do
not use any other type of fuel such as fi re logs or fi re starting pellets, as this will void the warranties stated in

WARNING
IT IS IMPORTANT TO SELECT AND USE ONLY PELLETS THAT ARE DRY AND FREE OF DIRT OR ANY
IMPURITIES SUCH AS HIGH SALT CONTENT. DIRTY FUEL WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERA-
TION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE APPLIANCE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. THE PELLET
FUEL INSTITUTE (P.F.I.) HAS ESTABLISHED STANDARDS FOR WOOD PELLET MANUFACTURERS.
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF PELLETS THAT MEET OR EXCEED THESE STANDARDS. ASK YOUR
DEALER FOR A RECOMMENDED PELLET TYPE.
2.4.3 CORN SPECIFICATIONS
Use only clean-shelled corn with a moisture content less than 15% and approximate fuel value of 7,000 BTU/
lb (16,200 kJ/kg). Do not attempt to burn corn with higher moisture content or burn lesser grade fuels. Do not
burn other types of agricultural pellets or by-products (alfalfa, cherry pits, olive pits, nut shells, etc.) as they are
not permitted to be burned in this appliance.
Corn must be clean and free of debris. Never burn corn right from the fi eld. Damage caused by dirty corn is
not covered by the Lifetime Limited Warranty. Ask for screened corn only. Stalk parts, excessive fi nes and
cob remnants will clog the air fl ow holes in the burn plate. Check the corn for foreign objects.
Use only a maximum 50% corn to pellet mixture.
