Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney
draft, heat loss factors, climate, fuel type, feed rate, fuel level, and other variables. The recommended
heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum
acceptable temperature considering that the space configuration and the presence of heat distribution
systems have a significant impact in making heat circulation optimum.

Grades of pellet fuel are determined by organizations such as Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI), ENplus and
CANplus.
(1)
Values are as measured per test method, except for the recommended heating area, hopper capacity,
maximum burn time and maximum heat input rate. Results may vary depending on pellet quality,
density, length, and diameter.
(2)
Based on the maximum burn-rate and a dry energy value of pellet at 8,600 BTU/lb.
(3)
As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.
(4)
Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
(5)
Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
(6)
Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).
(7)
This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.
(8)
Carbon monoxyde.
(9)
Unless stated otherwise, measures were taken directly at the main power source and include all
electrical components present in the appliance.
