IMPORTANT:
Proper installation of this stove is necessary for safe and efficient operation.
Installing this product improperly may result in a house fire and personal injury. All applicable
building codes for your location must be followed. In areas where building codes require additional
steps to the installation of this product not included in this manual the building codes will take
precedent and must be followed. Contact your local building inspector to obtain any necessary
permits or inspection guidelines before installing the product.
• The American Harvest stove is designed to burn dry shelled corn, cherry pits, or pelletized fuel such as
wood pellets. The burning of other solid fuels such as cord wood or wood chips in this stove is not
permitted.
• This product requires simple periodic maintenance for proper operation and long life of the stove. Read
and follow the maintenance schedule closely.
• DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE SERVICING THIS STOVE!
• A power surge protector is required. The unit must be plugged in to a grounded 110-volt power
source.
• Always route the power cord away from the unit. Do not route cord in foot traffic areas. Do not pinch
cord under furniture.
• A working smoke detector must be installed in the same room as this product.
• Flammable or explosive liquids such as gasoline, naphtha, alcohol or engine oil must NEVER be used in or
around this stove. These liquids must be stored well away from this stove as the open flame in the
burner chamber could ignite the fumes of such liquids. Do not burn garbage in this unit.
• The moving parts of this stove are propelled by high torque electric motors. The auger and Fuel Agitator
can cause severe injury to body parts that may get near them. Keep all body parts away from the
auger and Fuel Agitator while the stove is plugged into an electrical outlet. These moving parts may
begin to move at any time while the stove is plugged in.
• According to HUD requirements, when installed in a mobile home, this stove must be grounded directly to
the steel chassis of the mobile home and bolted to the floor. Direct air access must be provided - Use
67FAK Fresh Air Kit
• This stove is not intended for use in commercial installations.
• Do not connect this stove to "B" vent. Use UL Listed Pell Vent ONLY!
Ashes will have to be Removed from the stove periodically. See cleaning procedure. You can minimize cleaning required
and maximize efficiency by maintaining the correct draft settings. See "Setting the Draft" further in the manual.
The draft setting on your stove may have to be changed from time to time to accommodate your specific burning conditions.
Proper draft setting will be discussed later in this manual. The point we wish to make here is that your American Harvest
stove, due to the nature of solid fuels, will require brief periodic attention. Please do not expect to light your stove and walk
away from it. A few moments of adjustment and cleaning from time to time is an important part of burning solid fuels, due
to the vast differences in fuel, humidity and outside temperature.
The American Harvest stove has been designed to burn dry shelled corn, wood pellets and other pelletized fuels that meet
Association of Pellet Fuel Industries standards.
