UNIT PREPARATION
1.
Attach the spring handle to the door by turning it counterclockwise. Important: Also
check hopper latch – must be tight so that the top is sealed to prevent back-burn.
2. Test your 110-volt outlet for current and then plug in the unit. (We highly recommend a
surge protector for our unit, as the control panel is electronic).
3. Be sure to “dry run” your unit for 20 minutes before connecting it to the flue. During this
time the blowers and auger will operate at different times throughout the 20-minute
period (it should stop automatically after 20 minutes).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – READ BEFORE OPERATING
• When installing your corn/pellet stove, particular attention needs to be made in regards to
fire protection. If the unit is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety,
follow the installation and operation instructions provided, and if a question arises contact
local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation requirements in your area.
• Read the Operations and Fuel section of this manual before plugging in your unit.
• Always unplug the unit before attempting any service work.
• Do not connect the unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
• When installing the chimney pipe to the unit, it is important to remember that the unit
operates on negative pressure and the chimney on positive pressure. All chimney
connections, elbows, and fittings must be air-tight. (Proper venting practices must be
followed. Consult with a venting professional.)
• Ashes must be disposed of in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
• All minimum clearances to combustibles must be followed.
• The corn/pellet stove is tested for operation with corn with 14% or less moisture content;
it is recommended that corn with 11-12% moisture be used for most efficient operation of
this unit. Corn with over 12% moisture has a lower BTU value and will hard to burn
on the lower settings.
• It is important to use fuel that is clean, dry and consistent. It is recommended that
you purchase your entire heating season supply of fuel at one time, to make sure it is the
same.
