W
ARNING: Maintain all minimum safety clearances of the Harvester stove and chimney system.
Never install the Harvester in a sleeping room.
W
ARNING: The Harvester is designed and approved for burning of number 2 yellow shelled corns
with a maximum moisture content of 14% or biomass pellet fuel. Any fuel used in this
stove must meet or exceed APFI standards. Do not burn untested fuels, seed corn, or
foreign materials in this product. Failure to comply with this restriction voids Country
Flame’s warranty and the safety listing of the unit. Poor quality fuel will directly (and
adversely) affect efficiency and cleanliness of operation. Country Flame’s local authorized
dealer can help in recommending a quality fuel
W
ARNING: NEVER use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or other combustible
liquids to start or “freshen up” the fire in this product. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable liquids or allow combustible vapors in the vicinity of product.
W
ARNING: NEVER put foreign objects in the hopper and NEVER burn trash or unapproved material
in the Harvester. Using improper fuel voids the Country Flame warranty and damage to
the stove resulting from foreign objects is not covered by warranty.
W
ARNING: Ensure free and adequate airflow to and around the Harvester. This stove is a combustion
system that requires continuous flow of fresh air for proper operation. Failure to provide
an adequate fresh air supply can lead to operational problems such as: negative pressure
in the home, poor operation of this or other home combustion appliances, or a host of
other issues. Remember that other combustion appliances compete for fresh air in the
home. Consult with a professional to ensure positive air flow is provided to the stove
during operation.
W
ARNING: The Harvester’s exhaust system works with a negative combustion chamber pressure and a
low positive chimney pressure. It is very important that the stove’s exhaust and chimney
system be airtight and properly installed. The chimney joints should be sealed with 500
degrees Fahrenheit (500
O
F or 260
O
C) silicone sealant (RTV) and secured with at least (3)
sheet metal screws. An improperly installed stove or chimney system is the major cause
of a home fire.
W
ARNING: When installed in a mobile home, the Harvester must be grounded to the steel chassis of
the mobile home. In addition, the stove must be bolted to the floor. A mobile home
installation of the Harvester should be in accordance with the Manufactured Home and
Safety Standard (HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24. Consult the local code authority.
W
ARNING: SOOT AND FLY ASH: The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly
ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue
gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during start-up, shut down, or incorrect
operation of the Harvester will lead to soot formation in the exhaust venting system. The
exhaust venting system should be inspected at least twice every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
W
ARNING: ASH REMOVAL: The ash pan is designed to be emptied every day. If the ash pan is not
emptied regularly, ash will build up and restrict the flow of fresh air to the combustion
chamber. The ash pan door should not be opened for prolonged periods of time (greater
than 3 minutes.) If the ash pan door is opened for long periods of time an unrestricted
supply of air can flow into the combustion chamber. This unrestricted air flow can cause
