  • Page 2: Safety Notes

    The Harvester Model HR-01 biomass fuel stove is significantly different from a conventional wood- burning stove. One major difference is that the HR-01 requires a reliable source of electrical energy to properly operate. The owner, installer, and operator must understand this manual and read it in its entirety.
  • Page 3 NEVER put foreign objects in the hopper and NEVER burn trash or unapproved material ARNING in the Harvester. Using improper fuel voids the Country Flame warranty and damage to the stove resulting from foreign objects is not covered by warranty.

    TABLE 1: HARVESTER, HR-O1 SPECIFICATIONS ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The Harvester Model HR-01 requires a UL Approved dedicated home electrical outlet rated at a minimum of 120 volts at 60 hertz and capable of delivering 15 amperes. Although the Harvester draws only a fraction (much less than 6 amperes on average) of the 15 amperes rating, it is recommended that a dedicated circuit versus a branch electrical circuit be provided for the stove.

  • Page 23: Harvester Is Hot

    CHANGE HEAT LEVEL (thermostat inactive) • If the operator makes a change to the heat level while the stove is inactive, the stove will move to that level. The next time the thermostat calls for heat, the most recently programmed heat level will become the Thermostat Heat Level and the stove will operate at that point until the thermostat no longer calls for heat.

  • Page 24: Installation

    Flame recommends the use of a Hearth Industry Professional that is certified to install pellet-burning products. Check with the local dealer or contact Country Flame if there is any question about the installation, the installer, or the product being installed. Maintain the clearances shown in FIGURE 10.

  • Page 25: Vent Systems

    UL Listed wall thimble (wall penetration system) must be utilized. Always conform to local codes, utilize a professional installer, and ensure a proper vent system be utilized with a Harvester installation. Country Flame recommends the use of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when installing a Harvester.

  • Page 26: Alcove Installation

    In an alcove installation, side clearances of fourteen inches from the stove to combustibles and rear clearances of six inches from the stove to combustibles must be maintained as a minimum. Alcove clearances require the use of listed UL 641 Type L or type PL vent systems.

  • Page 27: Floor Protection Requirements

    FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS 1. All Country Flame freestanding Harvester stoves require a listed floor protector that is noncombustible. Country Flame Harvester stoves were tested with a listed floor protection that had an R-value equal to or greater than 1.5. Ensure that any floor protection equals or exceeds R = 1.5 or greater.

  • Page 28: Pellet (All Fuel) Vent Systems

    The installer should have significant experience and knowledge in pellet vent system variations. To maintain your Country Flame Warranty, it is imperative that a certified installer complete an installation that bests suits a site-specific application. FIGURES 12 through FIGURE 14 provide examples of combustible wall installations for residential heating appliances.

  • Page 51: Wood Combustion Basics

    Room Air: Air that is passed through a stove’s heat exchanger tubes which elevates the room air temperature and thereby delivers heat to a living space. WOOD COMBUSTION BASICS In a normal wood combustion process, water is first boiled out of the wood and then volatile matter and fixed carbon matter are released and later burned to create heat.
  • Page 52 Thus, wood pellets burn more efficiently than their log counterparts. The heat generated in the burn process, once combustion is achieved, sustains the process as more fuel is added. As the gases burn, the pellet stove’s firebox temperature can reach up to 2000 Fahrenheit.
  • Page 53 The service technician must be aware that as technology evolves, all stove manufacturers will strive to control more of the variables that might adversely affect the combustion process. In addition, stove manufacturers will strive to optimize the efficiency of the products burn process.
