Page 1 BURN YOUR NEW AMERICAN HARVEST CORN AND PELLET MULTI-FUEL STOVE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURIES Safety Notice: If this stove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation requirements peculiar to your area.
Page 2: Specifications
We strongly suggest installing smoke detectors in your home if not already installed. Initial burn off may cause slight smoke and odor the first few hours of operation. United States Stove Company Stove) reserves the right to alter products, specifications and price without notice.
Page 3: Safety Steps
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 until you want to shut if off in the spring.
Page 4 There are many varieties of corn grown around the world. Each variety has unique characteristics including the shape and size of the kernel. Your stove will burn more consistently with a small to midsize kernel corn. If the kernel size of the corn varies greatly or if you switch sources frequently, you will get a less consistent burn, which will require more attention to the draft setting on your stove.
Page 5: Installation Requirements
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FLOOR PROTECTION The American Harvest Multifuel Stove may be installed on a combustible floor, with proper floor protection, or on a masonry hearth. The hearth or non-combustible floor protector must extend a minimum of (6) inches (152mm)in front and (6) inches (152mm) from each side of the ash removal door.
Page 6: Guidelines For Exhaust Venting Systems Design
A listed 3” or 4” type “PL” pellet vent exhaust system must be used for FREESTANDING installation and attached to the pipe connector provided on the back of the stove. Use a 3” to 4” adapter for 4” pipe. A cap must be used at the termination of type “L”...
Page 7 Where installations will be made in locations above 2,000 feet, it is recommended that your stove be installed with 4” pell vent. At elevations above 3,000 feet, it is mandatory that a 4” pell vent be used for your installation.
Page 8 Failure to do so could result in a burn back during high winds blowing directly up the air inlet during a simulta- neous power failure (see diagram above). Blockage, excessive length, or bends in the air intake pipe will starve the stove of combustion air. A 90-degree bend is equivalent in restriction to approximately 30 inches of straight inlet pipe.
Page 9: Installation Configurations
Note: Where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA -B365 The American Harvest Corn/Pellet Stove Model 6033 may be installed as follows: 1) A freestanding unit 2) A built-in heater mounted in an alcove...
Page 10: Alcove Installation Requirements
The American Harvest is approved for the standard alcove height of 72 inches, or for a reduced alcove height with a minimum of 14 inches from the top of the stove (clearance for opening top lids). The maximum alcove depth is 60 inches and the listed clearances are a minimum of 1 inch.
Page 11 (F). Squeeze a bead of high temperature RTV silicone sealer (A) around the outside of the 3” diameter exhaust pipe approximately ½” from the stove back panel (B). Firmly push on a section of type “PL” pipe (D) until the inner pipe liner pushes up against the bead of RTV sealer.

Page 16: Lighting Instructions
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. Before lighting your American Harvest for the first time, make sure that all items are out of the hopper and firebox area.
Page 17: Disposal Of Ashes
Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
Page 18: Setting The Draft
A proper draft setting is crucial to the successful burning of solid fuels. Draft refers to the amount of air flowing through the burn chamber of your stove. Too much or too little draft will cause your stove to burn improperly and may result in the fire burning out or excessive deposits (clinkers).
Page 19 Weekly Maintenance • Set the stove on high fire. Open the draft to 100% and allow the stove to burn for 15 minutes. Resume desired heat and draft setting. • Shut down the stove as directed in the operating instructions. Allow the stove to cool to room temperature. Remove the small clean-out slides in the lower corners of the firebox.
Page 20: Automatic Safety Features
(see “Lighting Instructions” page 21). • 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. •...
Page 21: Thermostat Installation
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION • The American Harvest can be installed with and operated by a wall-mounted thermostat (Optional WT47) which may be purchased from your dealer or from USSC. The wall thermostat needs to be for a low voltage system. Most thermostats will have instructions with them as to where to place them in your room.
