Operating Instructions & Maintenance Guidelines
FOR USE WITH CORN OR WOOD PELLETS ONLY
INSTALLATION: It is imperative that this stove be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with the
installation manual provided with this stove. Improper installation and /or maintenance may create a fire
hazard, result in an unsafe condition, result in poor performance and may void your warranty.
Please read this entire manual before operating this stove. Make sure the installer of this product reviews the
operating sequence, maintenance requirements, both during the heating season and annual requirements
and answers any questions you may have.
CAUTION: Operate this stove only with the fuel hopper closed. Failure to do so may result in emission of
products of combustion from the hopper under certain conditions. This stove is equipped with a safety
interlock device which will turn off auger operation when the hopper lid is opened. To prevent fire from
extinguishing, do not allow hopper lid to remain open longer than 30-45 seconds.
This stove is approved for use with shelled corn or wood pellets only. An unlimited mixture of shelled corn and
wood pellets may also be used. A switch is located at the top of the control board. Simply depress the switch
to the corresponding fuel you are using. It’s that easy - no burn pot to remove and exchange.
SHELLED CORN - If you are providing your own fuel
When using shelled corn in this stove, make sure that the switch at the top of the control board is depressed to
the ‘corn’ setting. The shelled corn must be 15% or less moisture content. Corn must be dry, clean, and of
good quality. Corn dust should be screened prior to using. Burning wet and /or poor quality corn will not burn
properly and will deteriorate stove performance.
NOTE: Corn with excessive grain dust should be screened.
Large pieces of cob should be removed as they may plug the auger.
Contact your dealer for information on where to purchase high quality fuel products to burn in your new stove.
STORAGE: Shelled corn should be stored in a tight container where it will not absorb moisture from damp or
wet floors. This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem. Do not store corn within the
clearance requirements or in a area that would hinder routine cleaning & maintenance.
WOOD PELLETS
This stove is equipped with a dual burn system which means it can be used with either shelled corn or wood
pellets or a combination of both. It is not necessary to exchange burn pots when changing from corn to
wood pellets and visa versa. Make sure that the switch at the top of control board is depressed to the ‘pellets’
setting.
STORAGE: Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag until using. This will prevent moisture
absorption.
CORN SETTING VS. PELLET SETTING
The difference between the corn setting & pellet setting on this stove is the auger operation. When the stove is
set to the ‘corn’ setting, the auger ‘on time’ is much less than when the stove is set to the ‘pellet’ setting. This
means that less product (corn) will drop into the burn pot when set to the corn setting. Corn burns slower than
pellets, therefore less corn should be fed from the auger.
