Automatic Safety Features - USSC American Harvest 6037 Owner's Manual

• Power Outage
During a power outage, the stove will shut down safely. It will not automatically restart when the power returns, unless
the exhaust is still up to temperature (see "Lighting Instructions" page 16).
• Overheating
A high temperature switch will automatically shut down the stove if it overheats. The stove will need to be manually relit.
Allow 45 minutes before relighting.
• Auger Guard
A heavy gauge wire grid (guard) is installed near the top of the hopper. DO NOT REMOVE! It's purpose is to prevent
contact with the auger.
Chicken Scratch for my Corn Burner?
Yes - Crazy as it may sound, ground Oyster Shells, (calcium carbonate) same as fed to chickens, is the ideal additive to
promote clean burning, especially when the Corn Fuel is extra high in starch. And it's available at your local Feed and Seed.
The "average" mixture is 1/2 pound of Oyster Shells (about 2 handfuls) to 60 pound of Corn, a full hopper. IF the "fingers"
on your agitator (stirrer or rouser) have a noticeable buildup of "clinkers" or stubborn deposits, you have either a high starch
fuel OR are burning with too much air for proper combustion and are reaching the "fusion" temperature of the Potassium
and/or Starch in the Corn. You need Oyster Shells - and maybe more than a couple handfuls.
If you notice a heavy accumulation of "whitish powder" in your burn pot, reduce the amount of Oyster Shell Additive.
Remember, using this additive- as necessary - promotes efficiency (higher heat output), reduces maintenance, clinkers and
ash content.
