INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Cumberland Stove Works Multi
Fuel Parlor Stove from Ardisam, Inc. We have worked to
ensure that the multi fuel burning stove meets high stan-
dards for usability and durability. With proper care, your
stove will provide many years of service. Please read this
entire manual before installation and use. Congratulations
on your investment in quality.
BURNING SOLID FUELS
Ashes need to be removed from the stove periodically.
See Normal Care & Maintenance section for cleaning
procedure.
The parlor stove, due to the nature of solid fuels, will require
brief periodic attention. A few moments of adjustment and
cleaning from time to time is an important part of burning
solid fuels, due to the vast differences in fuel, humidity and
outside temperature.
The parlor stove has been designed to burn dry shelled
corn, pelletized fuel such as wood pellets and sunflower
pellets that meet Association of Pellet Fuel Industries
(A.P.F.I.) standards.
There are two pellet types currently approved for the
Cumberland Stove. They are dried corn and pelletized
wood. These two types are divided into three pellet type
selections. They are corn seed and press wood and Natural
Wood. The feed rates (auger ON/OFF) for each of these
three selections are programmed in 0.001 second (1ms)
intervals. The fuel map uses a set of equations that allow
pellets to fall into the burn pot and be consumed by the fire
at a 99% burning efficiency. The general guideline for pot
loading is: The auger increases the pot fill in a nonlinear
relationship to the pot consume number. This indirect
relationship uses a set of heat transfer equations to vary
this rate from 7.01 to 23.60 grams every cycle.
SHELLED CORN
Dry, shelled corn, preferably with 11-14% moisture
content.
• Corn should 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 corn only. Stalk parts, excessive fines and cob
remnants will clog the auger. Check the corn for foreign
objects.
• Store the corn supply in a dry place and keep bags or
container sealed to prevent it from absorbing excess
WARNING
NEVER BURN SEED CORN IN THE STOVE. SEED CORN
IS TREATED WITH CHEMICAL PESTICIDES THAT ARE
HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED, SEED CORN IS
DANGEROUS TO HAVE IN THE HOUSE, ESPECIALLY
WHERE CHILDREN CAN REACH IT.
NEVER BURN “DEER CORN”. IT FREQUENTLY
CONTAINS MOLASSES SUGARS.
NEVER BURN CORN WITH A HIGH WAX CONTENT.
DO NOT PLACE SUCH ITEMS AS START PELLETS
OR BURN GEL FUELS WITHIN THE PARLOR STOVE
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE SPACE
REQUIRED FOR LIGHTING AND ASH REMOVAL.
CAUTION
BURNING ONLY THE RECOMMENDED 11-14% MOISTURE
CONTENT CORN WILL ASSURE LONGER STOVE LIFE
AND LESS FREQUENT CLEANING.
BURNING WOOD PELLETS ACCORDING TO
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL ASSURE LONGER STOVE
LIFE AND LESS FREQUENT CLEANING.
THE USE OF GRATES OR OTHER METHODS OF
SUPPORTING THE FUEL IS NOT AUTHORIZED IN THIS
PARLOR STOVE.
