ELECTRICAL: The use of a surge protected power bar is recommended. The unit must be
grounded� The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard 115 volts (4�5 Amps), 60
hertz electrical outlet� Ensure that the polarity to the outlet that the unit will be plugged into is correct;
as incorrect polarity can adversely affect the unit’s operation� Be careful that the electrical cord is not
trapped under the appliance and that it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges� The power cord
must always be accessible� If this power cord should become damaged, a replacement power cord must
be purchased from the manufacture or a qualified VistaFlame dealer� The VF100’s maximum power
requirement is 520 watts�
GLASS: Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door� Do not attempt to operate the
stove with broken glass� The stove uses ceramic glass� Replacement glass must be purchased from a
VistaFlame dealer� Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation
or if glass is hot� To clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove
glass cleaner, or take a damp paper towel and dip into the fly ash� This is a very mild abrasive and will
not damage the glass�
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in the heater� Keep all such liquids well away from
the heater while it is in use�
SMOKE DETECTOR: Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained in the structure when
installing and operating a pellet burning appliance�
OPERATION: The ash pan and door must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet
stove� Ensure all gaskets on the door are checked regularly and replaced when necessary�
KEEP ASH PAN FREE OF RAW FUEL.
DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN� A fire in the ash pan may occur�
INSTALLATION: Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through
walls, ceilings, or roofs� It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any
displacement�

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE�
FRESH AIR: Outside Fresh Air connection is optional, but must be connected to all units installed in
