A W ORD ABOUT T HIS M ANUAL
This manual uses symbols on the left side of the page to highlight information outside of the
direct subject matter. This information can be very helpful when learning about your new heater.
The three symbols used in this manual are listed below.
HINT: Information that makes a procedure or task easier, but is not
necessary.
WARNING: This is a smoke warning Ð failure to heed this warning may lead to
smoke entering your home.
NOTE: This is a pellet note. Because pellets vary from bag to bag, and
because they have a large impact on your heater's operation, this
additional information was included in this manual.
