7.
available to the room where the appliance is installed.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING OUTSIDE AIR SOURCE IN CASE OF APPLIANCE SHUT DOWN, SMOKE WILL FILL THE ROOM.
Most states require a fresh air intake at time of install.
8.
The stove will not operate using natural draft, nor without a power source for the blower and fuel feeding systems.
9.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater.
10.
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
CONTINUOUS OPERATION: When operated correctly, this appliance cannot be overfired. Continuous operation at a maximum burn can,
11.
however, shorten the life of the electrical components (blowers, motors, and electronic controls), and is not recommended. Typical
approved operation would include running at the low to mid-range setting with occasional running on the maximum setting during the
coldest periods of the winter.
The blower speed control should be turned to HIGH when operating the stove on the high heat setting.
CAUTION:
HOT IN OPERATION. An appliance hot enough to warm your home can severely burn anyone touching it. Keep children, clothing

APPROVED FUEL: This appliance is designed specifically for
densified wood fuels only
. This appliance is NOT approved to burn cardboard, nut

the stove. Consult with your authorized 509 Fabrications, Inc. dealer for more information on approved densified log fuels.
FLY ASH BUILD-UP: For all densified fuel heaters, the combustion gases will contain small particles of fly ash. This will vary due to the ash
14.
content of the fuel being burned. Over time, the fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. The
exhaust venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary.
SOOT FORMATION Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to
15.
some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. A precautionary inspection on a regular basis is advisable to determine
the necessity of cleaning. The exhaust venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary.
DISPOSING OF ASHES: Any ashes removed from the stove must be deposited in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container
16.
of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from ail combustible materials, outside of the dwelling
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
