Fuel Selection: This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
DO NOT BURN: (1) Garbage; (2) Lawn clippings or yard waste; (3) Materials containing rubber, including tires; (4) Materials containing plastic; (5) Waste petroleum products,
paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products; (6) Materials containing asbestos; (7) Construction or demolition debris; (8) Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood; (9) Manure or animal remains; (10) Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water saturated materials; (11) Unseasoned wood; or (12) Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater. Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke
WARRANTIES ARE VOID IF THE UNIT IS USED TO BURN MATERIALS FOR WHICH THE UNIT IS NOT CERTIFIED BY THE EPA AND VOID IF NOT OPERATED ACCORDING TO THE
OWNER’S MANUAL.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Emissions and Monitors: CO emissions will increase if using unseasoned wood or if operated differently than the instructions provided in this manual. The EPA recommends the use of smoke and CO monitors in areas that are expected to generate CO (e.g. heater fueling areas, pellet fuel bulk storage areas, and sheds containing hydronic heaters).
