GENERAL INFORMATION

Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service

person. The heater should be inspected before use and at

least annually by a professional service person. More

frequent cleaning may be required due to fuel quality,

excessive lint from carpeting, bedding m aterial, etc. It is

imperative that control compartm ents, burners and circulat-

ing air passageways of the heater be kept clean.

The EASYFIRE Pellet heater has been designed and

approved for burning wood pellet fuel only. Burning other

forms of fuel is not permitted and will void all warranties.

This unit has been approved for use with a 4" Type L Pellet

Vent System .

NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuels, kerosene,

charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen

up" a fire. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater

while it is in use.

Ashes must be disposed of in a metal container with a tight

fitting lid and placed on a noncombustible floor or ground,

well away from all fuels, pending final disposal.

NOTE : During the first few burns the high temperature

paint and sealant used in manufacture will emit some odor

and smoke. Open doors and windows to the outside for

proper ventilation during the first burn cycle and curing of

the paint.

This heater, when installed, must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local

codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-

2006.

Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the

combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance

for servicing and proper operation. Never obstruct the front

opening of the heater.

The heater may be installed as a free-standing unit mounted

on a non-com bustible protective floor pad or hearth. O r it

may be mounted into an existing U. L. approved wood stove

chimney. Non-combustible floor protection is required and

must be used when placing the heater on any combustible

material.

The pellet heater must be operated with a power source and

will not operate using natural draft. If there is a power failure

the heater will shut down. If the 12 volt back system is in-

stalled, the heater will automatically switch to 12 volt power.

The EasyFire Pellet Heater has been listed by OMNI-Test

Laboratories, Inc. to ASTM, U.L.,and EPA Standards.
