EDGE 60 Pellet Fireplace

A. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable ﬁ re safety, the following should be

given serious consideration:

• Install at least one smoke detector and CO

monitor on each

ﬂ oor of your home.

• Locate detectors away from the heating appliance and close

to the sleeping areas.

• Follow the detector’s manufacturer’s placement and

installation instructions and maintain regularly.

• Conveniently locate a Class A ﬁ re extinguisher to contend

with small ﬁ res.

• In the event of a hopper ﬁ re:

• Evacute the house immediately.

• Notify ﬁ re department.

B. 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).

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 ﬂ ame height (feed rate) may

need adjusting occasionally. See page 12 for instructions.

Performance

• Higher ash content requires the ash drawer to be emptied

more frequently

• Hardwoods require more air to burn properly

• Set wall control to “Utility Pellet” if the ﬁ repot and ash pan

are ﬁ lling quickly. This will cause the auto-clean system

to empty the ﬁ repot more often.

• 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.

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.

C. Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. The EDGE 60

appliance has been designed to burn a wide variety of fuels,

giving you the choice to use the fuel that is most economical

in your region.

Hearth & Home Techonologies strongly recommends only

using Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI) certiﬁ ed fuel.

Fuel Material

• Made from sawdust or wood by-products

• Shelled ﬁ eld corn & other biomass fuels

• 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, corn and other

biomass fuels

Lower Ash Content Material

• Softwoods

• Fuels with low mineral content

• Premium grade pellets

Shelled Field Corn

• Must be 15% or less moisture content.

• Must be clean and free from debris

• Never burn corn straight from the ﬁ eld

• Stalk parts, excessive ﬁ nes and cob remnants, etc. will

clog the auger mechanism

• Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened by sifting

with 3/16 inch (4.7mm) mesh screening

CAUTION! Do not burn fuel that contains an additive;

(such as soybean oil).

• May cause hopper ﬁ res

• Damage to product may result

Read the ingredients list on the package. If you are buying

corn or wheat the only ingredient that should be listed is

corn or wheat.

WARNING! Risk of Chemical Poisoning!

Do NOT burn treated seed corn

• Chemical pesticides are harmful or fatal if swallowed

• Burning treated seed corn will void your warranty
