1.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the stove from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
1.2 Placement Considerations

1.3 Ventilation Requirements
The stove requires proper venting to the outside. It can vent through any outside wall that is above ground using durable, lightweight pellet stove-rated piping. A fresh air intake kit is recommended for all applications and is included with the stove. Consult your local building inspector before installation to ensure compliance with all regulations.
1.4 Electrical Connection
Connect the stove to a grounded electrical outlet. It is recommended to plug your stove into a surge protector to safeguard against electrical fluctuations.
1.5 Initial Fuel Loading
Before first use, ensure the hopper is clean and free of debris. Load the hopper with premium or standard grade wood pellets. The 60-lb hopper capacity allows for extended burn times.
2. Operating Instructions
Understand how to safely and effectively operate your PelPro PP60 Pellet Stove to achieve optimal heating performance.
2.1 Loading Pellets
Open the hopper lid located on top of the stove. Pour wood pellets into the hopper, ensuring not to overfill. The 60-lb hopper capacity can provide up to 40 hours of burn time, reducing the frequency of refills.

2.2 Ignition Process
The PelPro PP60 features a convenient 300W auto-igniter. Once pellets are loaded and the stove is powered, the igniter will automatically start the combustion process when the thermostat calls for heat.

3. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of your PelPro PP60 Pellet Stove. Refer to the full user manual for detailed care instructions.
3.1 Daily/Weekly Cleaning
It is recommended to clean the burn pot and ash pan every few days, or as needed, depending on usage. Ash accumulation can impede proper combustion and efficiency.

Perform a thorough cleaning at least once a month. This includes cleaning out the vacuum tubes, checking all connections, and ensuring the auger area is free of dust and debris. Neglecting these areas can lead to operational issues.
