Thank you for purchasing the Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Heater. This heater is designed for use with Pelletized Wood Only.
Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning room heater. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
This Pellet Heater, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with the local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code
in the United States.
This heater will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system.
The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room temperature but this can be improved if
the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat source.
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your Wolf Steel Ltd. Pellet Heater has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do not
use any other type of fuel such as fire logs or fire starting pellets, as this will void the warranties stated in this
manual.
The performance and heat output of the pellet heater is directly related to the quality and moisture of the
pellets. Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption.

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 operation and performance of the unit and will

turers. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a
recommended pellet type.
