Unlike petroleum and natural gas products, solid fuels such as wood pellets create ash as the fuel is
burned. Even with the highly efficient flame your
MagnuM stove will produce, the solid fuels used will
produce ash. This ash will have to be cleaned out of the stove from time to time. The cleaning procedure
will be discussed later in this manual. You can minimize the amount of cleaning required and maximize
the efficiency of your stove by maintaining the correct draft settings.
The draft setting on your stove may have to be changed from time to time to accommodate your specific
burning conditions. Proper draft setting will be discussed later in this manual. The point we wish to
make here is that your
MagnuM stove, due to the nature of solid fuels, will require brief periodic
attention. Please do not expect to light your stove and walk away from it until you want to shut it off in
the spring. A few moments of adjustment and cleaning from time to time is an important part of burning
solid fuels.
The
MagnuM stove has been designed to burn wood pellets that meet the Association of Pellet Fuel
Industries standards. Since these fuels vary greatly in quality and consistency, AES cannot be responsible
for damage done to your stove due to fuel problems. The following are guidelines to using and selecting
proper fuels for your stove.
SHELLED CORN ( 11-12 percent moisture recommended)
9 Store your corn supply in a dry place and keep the bags or containers sealed to prevent your corn from
absorbing excess moisture. Test the moisture content periodically to maintain the proper dryness.
9 Check your corn for foreign objects. Your stove warranty will not cover damage done to your
stove due to foreign objects in the fuel supply.
9 Do not carry your corn supply over into the next heating season if possible unless properly
stored.
If you carry over your corn supply make sure to check the corn for proper moisture content.
9 DO NOT BURN “TREATED” SEED CORN IN YOUR STOVE. Seed corn is treated with
chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal if swallowed; therefore, seed corn is dangerous to have in
the house, especially where children can reach it
. Burning treated seed corn in your stove will void
the warranty and will destroy the exhaust system on the unit.
9 Corn must be 14% or less moisture content. Wet corn will cause rapid plugging and deterioration
of the stove and exhaust system, lower the heat output and will void the product warranty.
9 Corn must be cleaned and free from debris. Corn right from the field will often have stalks, sticks,
bolts and cob debris, which can plug the auger and/or cause damage to the auger and motor. Damage
caused by dirty corn and other foreign objects are not covered by the product warranty. Ask for clean
corn when you purchase it from your local corn supplier. Clean corn can be purchased in bulk or
bagged from most elevators, feed stores or even your local farmer.
ALWAYS ASK FOR CORN WITH 11-12% MOISTURE CONTENT.
9 If you are having trouble finding clean Corn, contact your local MagnuM Dealer and ask them
to get you an “Energy Sifter” corn cleaning system.
Cleaning your corn with the Energy Sifter
from American Energy Systems will assure clean corn and a more consistent burn rate. It is also
important to vacuum out your hopper once a month to assure trouble free auguring of the corn.
