HOW TO ADJUST THE FUEL ADJUSTER
It is a common occurrence in the pellet industry for the
average pellet size to vary. Due to the varying sizes of
pellets, this appliance is equipped with a fuel adjuster to
adjust the amount of fuel allowed to pass into the auger
assembly. The fuel adjuster is located inside the hopper.
Note: The factory default setting for this is full open. To
decrease the flow of pellets, move the fuel adjuster down.
1. Turn off and unplug the appliance.
2. Loosen the two wing-nuts.
3. Adjust up to increase, or down to reduce the fuel usage
based on the size of the pellets.
4. Tighten the two wing-nuts.

PROPER FUEL
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF
PELLETIZED FUEL THAT MEET OR EXCEED THE
STANDARD SET BY THE PELLET FUEL INSTITUTE
Your pellet stove is designed to burn premium hardwood
pellets that comply with the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI)
standard (minimum of 40 lbs density per cubic ft, 1/4" to
5/16" diameter, length no greater than 1.5", not less than
8,200 BTU/lb, moisture under 8% by weight, ash under 1%
by weight, and salt under 300 parts per million). Pellets
that are soft, contain excessive amounts of loose sawdust,
have been, or are wet, will result in reduced performance.
Store your pellets in a dry place. DO NOT store the fuel
within the installation clearances of the unit or within the
space required for refuelling and ash removal. Doing so
could result in a house fire. Do not over fire or use volatile
fuels or combustibles, doing so may cause a personal and
property damage hazards.
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED
WOOD FUEL ONLY ! Factory-approved pellets are those
1/4" or 5/16" in diameter and not over 1" long. Longer or
thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger flights, which
prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other
than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building
codes for which the stove has been approved and will void
all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of
the pellet fuel into the fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any
