5. If this is the first time that the Harvester has been burnt or the stove has run out of corn fuel from a previous burn priming must be completed in order to fill the auger tube with corn fuel The Harvester prime mode can be entered by holding the on off button for approximately 30 seconds or until the auger light starts flashing and the temperature lights start climbing from the lowest light to the highest light showing that the system is filling the auger Once corn fuel starts dropping into the burn pot the system should be shut off Once priming is completed the next step is to prepare the Harvester for burning corn FIRST FIRE Country Flame recommends using wood pellets to start the Harvester Corn Stove Pellets should be added in layers with igniter gel or igniter bricks sandwiched between the pellets inside the burn pot It 1s important that the firebox has a hot pellet fire going before corn fuel is fed into the burn pot This hot pellet fire is required due to the higher combustion temperatures required for corn fuel Wood pellets should be layered with igniter fluid at least level with the bottom of the stir pot arm inside the burn pot Once the wood pellets and igniter material are layered in the burn pot the on off switch should be pressed for approximately 5 seconds or until the on off light turns from red to green Release the on off switch once the light changes to green At this time the red igniter light will be slowly blinkin
6. Regular Cleaning Removing and cleaning the Firepot The firepot can be removed for cleaning by loosening the bolt holding the stirring rod in place Slide the keeper sleeve off of the gear shaft exposing the connector piece Rotate the stirring rod until the slot is vertical Now lift the firepot and the stirring rod out of the firepot holder To replace reverse the procedure The stirring rod can be manually rotated by holding in the up and down arrows on the control board at the same time The control board needs to be in the off setting Removing Clinkers A clinker on the bottom of the firepot may be removed with a spoon and dropped into the ash pan NOTE For your Safety only remove clinkers from stove when unit is cool Wear gloves and eye protection Soot and Fly ash Build Up The ash pan must be emptied every day If the ash pan is not emptied regularly ash will build up under the firepot and block the air flow to the fire pot putting the fire out When the stove is cold the firepot can be pulled out and removed for a thorough cleaning Also check the drop tube where the corn drops into the firepot for blockage Thorough Cleaning Remove the ash pan using a glove Turn latching handle and slide the ash pan out of the ash pan drawer Dump the ash pan into a fire safe covered container The firepot may be lifted out first loosen bolt on the agitator shaft hub and slide hub to the side and dump using a glove
