OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(Without using system igniter)
NOTE: Each time the stove is started, the firepot should 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.
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 high heat level setting 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.
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 Place a small handful of wood pellets or fire starter in the firepot.
9 Squirt a small amount of fire starter gel on top of the wood pellets.
(Evenly across the wood pellets)
9 Light the fire starter gel.
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 the 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 pushed and held for app. 6 seconds to reset the
system.
The unit starts on a pre-set heat level setting. After the unit has been turned on you may select the desired heat
level. However, the feed rate heat level 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.
