SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Do NOT operate if you smell smoke coming from your pellet appliance. Push OFF on the control board, monitor your stove and call your dealer. NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use. Do NOT unplug the heater if you suspect a malfunction. Push OFF on the control board and inspect the heater.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance. IMPORTANT: Touching the OFF button on the control board does NOT disconnect power to the stove. DO NOT THROW YOUR INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDES AWAY. These guides have important operating & maintenance information that you will need at a later time. Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the stove.
OUTSIDE AIR CONSIDERATIONS A fresh air kit is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all pellet appliance installations. If an outside air source is not supplied, a negative air situation may occur. NEGATIVE AIR PRESSURE Negative indoor air pressure results when more air is leaving your home than is coming in, creating a partial vacuum. In winter, the heated indoor air rises up through the home and escapes from upper level leaks.

This can have 2 purposes: 1) Drop chute attaches to the side of the hopper to help with cleaning/emptying out of hopper 2) Chute can be used as a dustpan for your shop.
