6.2 CORN
SPECIFICATIONS
!
WARNING
IT IS IMPORTANT TO SELECT AND USE ONLY KERNELLED CORN THAT IS DRY AND FREE OF DIRT
OR ANY IMPURITIES SUCH AS HIGH SALT CONTENT. DIRTY FUEL WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE UNIT AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. THE PELLET
FUEL INSTITUTE (P.F.I.) HAS ESTABLISHED STANDARDS FOR WOOD PELLET MANUFACTURERS.
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF CORN THAT MEETS OR EXCEEDS THESE STANDARDS.
ASK YOUR DEALER FOR A RECOMMENDED CORN TYPE.
SCREEN THE CORN BEFORE LOADING INTO THE HOPPER TO AVOID PLUGGING THE CHUTE.
The kernelled corn with 15% or less moisture content, free of foreign objects (i.e.: dust or fi nes, sticks, stalks,
cobs & cob pieces).
No methods of supporting the corn as fuel is recommended (furnace is to operate with corn, wood pellet, corn /
wood pellet blends or wheat only).
Do not use treated or fortifi ed corn
Do not use corn with fl akes and corn dust
Do not use corn with high moisture content (over 15%)
6.3 PELLET
SPECIFICATIONS
The performance and heat output of the furnace is directly related to the quality and moisture of the pellets.
Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption.

6.4 FUEL STORING AND FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
Storing:
The most important aspect of storing the fuel (corn or wood pellet) is not allowing the moisture content to rise
while stored. Please take all necessary steps to keep your fuel dry when stored. Stored fuel may be kept in
the same location as the furnace. However, we recommend keeping it at least 3 ft away from the furnace in a
covered container or a sealed bag(s), so no foreign articles can mix with it.
Filling:
Open the hopper by lifting and removing the lid. Empty the fuel bags inside (screen corn fi rst) to remove any
dust. Put the lid back on.
6.5 CONTROL
PANEL
LCD monitor will display “thermocorn cpf-110” when turned on. The control panel is designed to show your se-
lections & current functions when running by the heat probe sensor. If furnace is running by the room thermo-
stat current functions will not be displayed, however will be executed as directed by the room thermostat.
There is a manual fuel feed button in the back. This is useful at very fi rst operation when auger is empty or
when auger is emptied for maintenance or repair. Use this to purge the auger.
