Santa Fe Pellet Stove

Operating Instructions

WARNING

• High ash fuels, or lack of maintenance, can

cause the ﬁ repot to ﬁ ll with ash and clinker. If the

ﬁ repot ﬁ lls to the top, immediately shut down the

appliance and clean.

• Failure to do so could result in smoking, sooting

and possible hopper ﬁ res.

Fire Risk.

A. Combustible/Non-Combustible Materials

• Combustible Material

Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed

paper, plant ﬁ bers, plastics, or any material capable

of igniting and burning, whether ﬂ ame-proofed or not,

plastered or unplastered.

• Non-combustible Material

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are

those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, slate,

glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.

• Non-combustible Sealant Material

Sealants which will not ignite and burn: Rutland, Inc.

Fireplace Mortar #63, Rutland 76R, Nuﬂ ex 304, GE

RTV106 or GE RTB116 (or equivalent).

B. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly ﬂ uctuate. We recommend that

you buy fuel in multi-ton lots whenever possible. However,

we do recommend trying various brands before purchasing

multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction.

Fuel Material

• Made from sawdust or wood by-products

• Shelled ﬁ eld corn

• Depending on the source material it may have a high

or low ash content.

Higher Ash Content Material

• Hardwoods with a high mineral content

• Fuel that contains bark

• Standard grade pellets, high ash pellets or shelled ﬁ eld

corn

Lower Ash Content Material

• Most softwoods

• Fuels with low mineral content

• Most premium grade pellets

Shelled Field Corn

• Moisture content must be 15% or less

• Corn must be free of debris. Never burn corn straight

from the ﬁ eld it will clog the auger mechanism

• Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened by

sifting with 3/16 (4.76mm) inch mesh screening

• Do not use corn that contains additives such as oils or

meals or has been chemically treated with pesticides. It

will void your warranty and destroy the exhaust system.

Clinkers

Minerals and other non-combustible materials such as sand

will turn into a hard, glass-like substance called a clinker

when heated in the ﬁ repot.

Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content. That

is why some fuels produce more clinkers than others.

Moisture

Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content

takes heat from the fuel and tends to cool the appliance,

robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet fuel can clog

the feed system.

Size

•

Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in diameter

• Length should be no more that 1-1/2 inches (38mm)

• Pellet lengths can vary from lot to lot from the same

manufacturer

• Due to length variations, the feed rate may need adjusting

occasionally

Performance

• Higher ash content and burning corn requires the ﬁ repot

and the ash drawer to be emptied more frequently

• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly

• Premium wood pellets produce the highest heat output

• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can

cause an inconsistent fuel feed rate and/or missed

ignitions

CAUTION! Tested and approved for wood pellets and

shelled ﬁ eld corn. Burning of any other type of fuel voids

your warranty

Storage

• Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag

until using to prevent moisture absorption

• Shelled corn should be stored in a tight container to

prevent it from absorbing moisture from damp or wet ﬂ oors

• Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance

requirements or in an area that would hinder routine

cleaning and maintenance
