OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(Using self igniter systems, if auto ignition system (optional) has been installed)
NOTE: Each time the stove is started, the firepot must be checked for debris and clear air holes. Some
fuels will cause the firepot to build up more frequently making it necessary to stir and clean the firepot
more often. Do not allow ash to build up underneath the firepot area or in the ash pan as it will block off
the air flow to the firepot. After unit has been plugged in the exhaust fan will run for 12 minutes.
Your control panel has three (3) separate modes of operation (switch located on top of board). The MANUAL
setting allows the operator to choose heat level setting changes without a thermostat. The T-STAT setting
allows the operator to set the highest heat level setting desired and when the thermostat is satisfied, the unit will
automatically go to the low heat level setting. The AUTO setting allows the unit to shut completely off when
the thermostat is satisfied and re-start when the thermostat calls for heat. The AUTO setting can only be used
with wood pellets or a 50/50 mix of corn and wood pellets.
Before lighting your Country Flame for the first time make sure that all items are out of the hopper and firebox
area. Note: If using a wall thermostat, make sure that the thermostat is
turned up above room temperature. The unit will operate on low fire if
the thermostat is turned down.
9
Load the hopper with fuel (Corn or Wood Pellets).
9 Close the door
9 Push the “On/Off” button.
9 Turn the air intake butterfly damper to approximately ¼ inch open.
(More or less as needed.)
NOTE: Priming the auger is required when the unit is new or when the
hopper has completely run out of fuel. This can be done approximately
1 minute after pushing the on/off start button. Press and hold the
“auger” button until fuel begins to drop into the firepot. When fuel
begins to drop regularly, release auger button, the auger is primed.
NOTE: The viewing door, ash pan door and hopper door must be
closed and/or latched during operation or vacuum will not be
established. If vacuum can not be established the stove will shut down
and the #2 heat level setting light will blink. The ON/OFF button must
be held for app. 6 seconds to reset. If this happens the exhaust fan will
run for 5 ½ minutes and the room fan will run for ½ minute.
The unit starts automatically on a pre-set heat level setting. After the
unit has been turned on, and the 1 minute diagnostics has run, you may
select a desired heat level. However, the heat level feed rate will not
change until the unit has completed the 15 minute startup sequence. It is
recommended to burn the unit on the number #2 or #3 heat level setting
for the first 30-45 minutes.
If the fire temperature has not reached proper operating temperature
within the minimum cycle time (15 min.) the auger will stop feeding, the stove will shut down and the #3 heat
level setting light will blink. You will need to press and hold the ON/OFF button for 6 seconds to start the
cycle over again. If the system is set on auto start it will attempt two startups on its own.
