XXV Pellet Stove



Pellet fuel quality can uctuate from manufacturer to

manufacturer, and even from bag to bag.

Hearth & Home Technologies recommends using only

fuel that is certied by the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI).

Fuel Material

• Made from sawdust and/or other wood by-products

• Shelled eld corn (when mixed with wood pellets)

• Source material typically determines ash content

Higher Ash Content Material

• Hardwoods with high mineral content

• Bark and leaves as source material

• "Standard" grade pellets, corn and other biomass

Lower Ash Content Material

• Softwood; pine, r, etc.

• Materials with lower mineral content

• "Premium" grade pellets

Shelled eld corn

• Must be 15% moisture content or less

• Must be clean and free of debris

• Must be mixed with wood pellets. (Up to 50%)

• Stalk parts, excessive nes and cob remnants may

cause feed system jams or blockage

CAUTION! Do not burn fuel that contains an additive;

(such as soybean oil)

• May cause hopper re

• Damage to product may result

Read the list of ingredients on the packaging. If you are

buying eld corn, the only ingredient listed should be eld

corn.

WARNING! Risk of Chemical Poisoning!

Do NOT burn treated seed corn

• Chemical pesticides are harmful or fatal if swallowed

• Burning treated seed corn will void the product

warranty

Clinkers

Minerals and other non-combustible materials, like

sand, will turn into a hard glass-like substance when

heated.

Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content.

For this reason, some fuels will produce more clinkers

than others.

Moisture

.125Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture

content takes energy to dry and tends to cool the

appliance thus, robbing heat from your home. Damp

pellet fuel could turn back into sawdust which does not

ow properly through the feed system.

Size

• Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in

diameter

• Length should be no more than 1-1/2 inches (38mm)

• Pellet length can vary from lot to lot from the same

manufacturer

Performance

• Higher ash content requires more frequent

maintenance.

• "Premium" grade pellets will produce the highest

heat output.

• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can

cause inconsistent feeding and/or ignition.

We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots

whenever possible. However, we do recommend trying

different brands prior to purchasing multi-ton lots, to

ensure your satisfaction.

CAUTION! Attempting to burn fuels such as charcoal

has the potential of generating Carbon Monoxide which

is DEADLY. Never burn fuels other than those listed on

the appliance safety label.

When changing from wood pellets to a corn/pellet mixture,

the FEED ADJUSTER will likely need adjusted to a lower

setting. When under maximum demand, ensure there is

no unburned fuel being pushed into the ash pan.

Storage

• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed

bag until ready to use, to prevent moisture.

• Shelled corn should be stored in a tightly sealed

container to prevent moisture and to deter pests

• Do not store fuel within the specied clearance areas,

or in a location that will interfere with routine cleaning

and maintenance procedures.



Tested and approved for use with wood pellets and a

mixture of shelled eld corn and wood pellets ONLY.

Burning of any other fuel will void your warranty.

Hearth & Home Technologies is not responsible for

stove performance or extra maintenance required

as a result of using fuel with higher ash or mineral

content.
