FLOOR PROTECTION
The American Harvest Multifuel Stove may be installed on a combustible floor, with proper floor protection, or
on a masonry hearth. The hearth or noncombustible floor protector must extend a minimum of (6) inches (152mm)in
front and (6) inches (152mm) from each side of the ash removal door.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
SHELLED CORN
(Dry, preferably corn with 11- 12% moisture content)
•

Corn must contain less than 14% moisture content. Wet corn will rapidly deteriorate stove components, reduce
efficiency and void all warranties. Purchase a moisture tester if in doubt.
Corn must be clean and free from debris. Never burn corn right from the field. Damage caused by dirty corn is not
covered by the product warranty. Ask for clean filtered bagged corn only. Stalk parts, excessive fines and cob
remmants will clog the auger.
NEVER BURN 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.
Never burn “Deer Corn.” It frequently contains molasses/sugars.
Store your corn supply in a dry place and keep bags or container sealed to prevent your corn from absorbing excess
moisture. Test the moisture content periodically to ensure the proper dryness.
There are many varieties of corn grown around the world. Each variety has unique characteristics including the shape
and size of the kernel. Your stove will burn more consistently with a small to midsize kernel corn. If the kernel size of
the corn varies greatly or if you switch sources frequently, you will get a less consistent burn, which will require more
attention to the draft setting on your stove. Therefore, purchasing corn from the same source will help achieve a more
consistent burn. DO NOT USE CORN WITH A HIGH WAX CONTENT!
WOOD PELLETS
•

•
As with corn, be consistent in your pellet supplier. Pellets will vary in content and burn characteristics from supplier to
supplier. A consistent supply of pellets will require fewer adjustments to the draft of the stove.
Check your pellets for foreign objects. Your stove warranty will not cover damage done to your stove due to foreign
objects in the fuel supply.
Store your pellets in a dry place to prevent them from absorbing added moisture.
To decrease sawdust buildup, the hopper will need to be vacuumed out after every 6-8 bags of pellets or more often if
the pellets are poor quality. You may have to screen each bag of pellets if sawdust becomes a problem.
Wood Pellets vary in size and ash content from less than 1% to 3% or more. Your stove will burn more efficiently with
small to midsize pellets. Low ash content pellets will allow you to burn the stove longer between cleanings. Only wood
pellets manufactured to the Association of Pellet Fuel Industries (A.P.F.I.) standard for residential pellets fuels are
recommended. Performance will suffer if nonstandard pellets are used. Consult your local American Harvest reseller
for more information on approved wood pellet fuel.
CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE SUCH FUELS WITHIN THE SPACE HEATER’S INSTALLA-
TION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR CHARGING AND ASH
REMOVAL.
