Carefully remove the stove from its packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Retain all packaging materials for potential future transport or warranty claims.
3.2 Placement
Position the stove on a non-combustible floor or a suitable floor protector. Ensure adequate clearance from combustible walls and materials as specified by local codes and the stove's rating plate. Maintain a minimum distance of 3 feet (0.9 meters) from furniture, drapes, and other flammable items.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Loading Pellets
Open the pellet hopper lid located on top of the stove. Pour only high-quality, dry wood pellets into the hopper. Do not overfill. Ensure no foreign objects enter the hopper.
4.2 Starting the Stove
- Ensure the burn pot is clean and free of ash.
- Close the hopper lid and the stove door securely.
- Press the 'ON' or 'START' button on the control panel. The igniter will activate, and pellets will begin to feed into the burn pot.
- Observe the flame through the glass. Ignition typically occurs within a few minutes.
4.3 Adjusting Heat Output
Use the control panel buttons (e.g., '+' and '-') to adjust the desired heat setting. Higher settings will feed more pellets and produce more heat. Refer to the specific control panel instructions for detailed programming options.
4.4 Shutting Down
To turn off the stove, press the 'OFF' or 'STOP' button. The stove will enter a cool-down cycle, during which the fan will continue to operate to dissipate residual heat. Do not open the stove door or hopper during the cool-down cycle.

- Burn Pot Cleaning: Scrape and clean the burn pot to remove any clinkers or unburnt pellet residue. Ensure all air holes are clear.
- Glass Cleaning: Use a specialized stove glass cleaner to remove soot from the inside of the door glass. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5.2 Monthly/Seasonal Maintenance
- Flue Pipe Cleaning: Inspect and clean the flue pipes and chimney connector to prevent creosote buildup. This should be done by a qualified professional at least once a year.
- General Inspection: Check all seals and gaskets for wear and tear. Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
