 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 a
negative pressure and the chimney on a positive pressure. All chimney connections, elbows and fittings
must be airtight. (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. Do not let ashes build up in ashpan.
 All minimum clearances to combustibles must be followed. Ductwork clearances must be maintained.
 The Magnum 6500/7500 Corn/Wood Pellet Furnace is tested for operation with 14% or less moisture
corn or with wood pellets with an ash content of no more than 3%. It is recommended that Corn with
11-12% moisture or wood pellets with an ash content of 1% or less be used for efficient operation of
this unit. Corn over 12% moisture has a lower BTU value and will be hard to burn on the lower
settings. Fuel over 12% moisture will dramatically reduce the heating ability of this appliance.
 It is important to use fuel that is clean, dry and consistent. Make sure that your supplier is giving you
the same fuel each time that you purchase. It is recommended that you purchase your entire heating season
supply of fuel at one time so that the fuel will be the same.
