SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS 

Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke coming from it.  Turn 
it off, monitor it, and call your dealer. 

Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless 
instructions are provided. A trained technician should do all 

other work. 

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal 

lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this 
stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while in use. 

Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important 

operating and maintenance instructions that you will need at 
a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.  
Read the manual thoroughly. 

Never block free airflow through the open vents of the stove. 

Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near 

the stove. 

Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.  Be sure that when you 

add fuel to the hopper, the pellets or corn that you are using is 
free of foreign material. 

The viewing door must be closed and latched during normal 

operation. 

The stove will not operate during a power outage. If an outage 

does occur, keep the stove door closed, and open a window if any 
smoke spills into the room.  Adequate vertical vent pipe on the 
exhaust will prevent smoke from entering the home. 

Do not operate the stove if the flame becomes dark and 

sooty or if the burn pot overfills with fuel. Turn the stove 
off, inspect it, and call your dealer or a qualified, trained 
technician. 

Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance or 
repairs on the stove.  

NOTE:

 Turning the stove “off” does not 

disconnect all power from the stove. 

CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, 
and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Educate 

all children of the danger of a high temperature stove. 
Young children should be supervised when they are in the 
same room as the stove. 

DO NOT 

open the viewing door during the start up period. 

If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or 

in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is 
possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise 
to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make 
the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove 
be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time 
(i.e. during the summer months). 

Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction. Turn the 

stove off, inspect it, and call your dealer or qualified, trained 
technician. 

Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and 

information on any installation restrictions or inspection 
requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this 
stove as well. 

The exhaust system 

must

 be completely airtight and 

properly installed. The exhaust vent joints must be sealed 
with RTV 500°F (260°C) silicone sealant, and with UL-181-
AP foil tape. 

This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a 

house fire. The instructions must be strictly adhered to. Do not use 
makeshift methods or compromise in the installation. 

Allow the stove to cool before carrying out any maintenance 

or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a metal container 
with a tight lid and placed on a non-combustible surface well 
away from the home structure. 

 
Your stove requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to 
maintain your stove may lead to smoke spillage in your home, or 
even a more dangerous situation. 

This stove is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel 
and corn only. Any other type of fuel burned in this heater 
will void the warranty and safety listing, and may result in a 
hazardous condition. 

This stove must be connected to a standard 120 V., 60 Hz 

grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or sever the 
grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord underneath, in 
front of, or over the stove. 

When installed in a mobile home, the stove must be bolted 

to the floor, have outside air connected (see page 3), and 

NOT BE INSTALLED IN A BEDROOM

 (Per H.U.D. 

requirements). Check with local building officials. 

The exhaust system should be checked regularly.  It is 

recommended that the exhaust system be inspected once a month, 
or for every ton of pellets burned.  At a minimum, even if burning 
less than a ton per year, the exhaust should be checked twice a 
burning season. 

Golden Eagle Stove Company grants no warranty, 

implied or stated, for the installation or maintenance 
of your stove, and assumes no responsibility of any 
consequential damage(s).
