manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable
temperature considering that the space conguration and the
presence of heat distribution systems have a signicant impact
in making heat circulation optimum.
(**) Grades of pellet fuel are determined by organizations such
as Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI), ENplus and CANplus.
(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 efciency at a specic burn rate (LHV).
(7) This appliance is ofcially tested and certied by an inde-
pendent 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.
(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.
[*] 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 dened by the
3. COMBUSTIBLE
3.1 RECOMMANDED PELLETS
Type : Wood pellet, premium grade or better, certied
by PFI, Enplus or CANplus.
Size : Diameter between ¼" or 5/16" and not over 1"
long. Longer or thicker pellets will affect the constancy
of pellet feed.
Ash contents: Less than 1%. Ash contents more than
1% will increase maintenance frequency, combustion
problems and will increase the stove emission.
Moisture content: Wet pellets will be very hard to
ignite and will greatly affect the feeding process of the
stove. Using dry pellets will maintain the performance
of your stove.
NOTICE
Burning other types of pellets is prohibited. It
violates the building codes for which the stove
has been approved and will void the warranty.
