ON/OFF SWITCH
The ON/OFF Switch serves to turn the system on
and off by holding the switch for approximately 5
seconds. The ON/OFF Switch can also be used to
initiate the FUEL PRIME MODE by holding it
for approximately 15 seconds. When in the prime
mode the Thermostat lights will sequentially light
from top to bottom simulating a “filling action” of
the auger tube. In a fully automatic mode pellet
stove, the ON Function of the switch is ignored.
HEAT UP/ HEAT DOWN SWITCH
When these two switches are pressed during the
STARTUP CYCLE only, they can be used to turn
the stir rod of the Harvester model. In all other
pellet stoves these switches only function as heat
up and down switches.
DC POWER LIGHT
This is a 3-color light when AC power is applied.
A red light indicates that the Control Board has
DC Power available but the system is off. A green
light indicates that the System is on. A yellow
light indicates that the combustion air should be
cleaned. As Country Flame works to improve the
sensor technology, this yellow light will become
more valuable to the service technician as well as
the homeowner.
HIGHWAY PATROL MODE
When all Control Panel lights are flashing on and
off, this indicates that the Product has an
encountered an unknown state. Nothing more,
nothing less. The purpose of these flashing lights
is to alert the home owner or the service
technician that the stove operation ended out of
sequence, ran out of fuel, or encountered a power
interruption that the Control System could not
recover from.
COOL DOWN MODE
In the Cool Down Mode, the Heat Setting lights
will sequentially go out from top to bottom, all
relight and then sequentially go out from top to
bottom. This cycle will continue until such time
that the Control Board senses the stove has
properly cooled down.
HEAT SETTING 1 THROUGH 5
Each heat setting, controlled by the stove Heat Up
or Heat Down switch, is provides as much
combustion air and fuel as is required for that
heat setting. Due to the number of unique
environmental variables as well as variations in
pellet fuel used in different regions, Country
Flame cannot provide exact BTU ratings for each
heat setting except those that were established in
Government Test Labs under controlled
conditions. At the same time, the rule of thumb is
that each heat setting on the Country Flame line
of Biomass Product starts at one pound of fuel per
hour and increments to a top setting of five
pounds of fuel per hour. Using a BTU rating of
from 4,000 to 10,000 BTU per pound of fuel,
depending on the type and moisture content of the
fuel, an estimate of heat output can be made.
