START UP INSTRUCTIONS – CORN
NOTE: Pellets are required to start your initial fire.
14. Plug in the furnace. NOTE: Make sure you plug into a properly grounded, surge-
protected outlet that has proper polarity so as not to damage the circuitry of the
control board.
15. Remove the rear panel of the furnace. Push in the white summer fan button located
in the right side of unit in silver box, thus starting the blower. When blower starts
and is running smoothly, pull the summer fan button back out to stop the blower.
16. Check the damper on the draft inducer. It should be set at no less than 50% open.
17. On the primary control board, set the cycle time to eight (8) minutes and the pilot
draft switch to medium. If more combustion air is needed, adjust the damper on the
draft inducer in small increments.
18. Set the remote thermostat at 90°F.
19. Turn the power switch to Draft Fan. The draft fan should now come up to full speed.
Open the fire pot door and place your hand and feel if the draft inducer is forcing air
into the fire pot. Turn the power switch back to off.
20. Check the hopper to insure that nothing is obstructing the feed cup. Load the hopper
with corn.
21. Place a 1” of oyster shell and approximately 2 full cups of pellets in the bottom of the
fire pot. Apply non-volatile lighting material such as gel alcohol or other pellet
appliance approved lighter. Light fire. NOTE: NEVER use charcoal lighter or kerosene
to light the pellets.
22. Let fire burn for approximately five (5) minutes. Then securely close fire pot door.
23. Turn power switch for Feed System. The draft fan will come up to high and the fire
will increase. Keep the thermostat turned to 90°F for approximately ten (10)
minutes. A solid fire will need to be established before the burner will lock in and
start feeding corn.
24. Set your thermostat to desired temperature. Your furnace should continue to heat up
until the blower comes on. Heat will be distributed out of the unit.
25. If after ten (10) minutes your fire is not established, let the fire go out completely
and start from step 8 again.
26. The furnace will emit smoke and fumes for a few minutes from the paint curing on
the initial fire up. Provide ventilation when this occurs.
27. Set your thermostat at your desired level, set back and enjoy the heat from your
Traeger Furnace.
