INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your investment in quality. Thank you
for purchasing a Cumberland Stove Works Multi-Fuel Parlor
Stove from Ardisam, Inc. We have worked to ensure that the
multi-fuel burning stove meets the highest standards for us-
ability and durability. With proper care, your stove will pro-
vide many years of service. Please read this entire manual
before installation and use.

BURNING SOLID FUELS

Ashes need to be removed from the stove periodically. See the
"Normal Care & Maintenance" section for cleaning procedure.
The parlor stove, due to the nature of solid fuels, will require
brief periodic attention. A few moments of adjustment and
cleaning from time to time is an important part of burning
solid fuels.
This parlor stove has been designed to burn dry shelled corn,
wood pellets and cherry pits.

SHELLED CORN

• Corn must contain less than 14% moisture content. Wet
corn will rapidly deteriorate stove components, reduce
efficiency and void all warranties. Purchase a moisture tester
if in doubt.
• Corn must be clean and free from debris. Never burn corn
right from the field. Damage caused by dirty corn is not
covered by the product warranty. Ask for screened corn
only. Stalk parts, excessive fines and cob remnants will clog
the air flow holes in burn plate. Check the corn for foreign
objects.
• Store the corn supply in a dry place and keep the bags or
container sealed to prevent it from absorbing excess
moisture. Test the moisture content periodically to ensure
the proper dryness.
• There are many varieties of corn. Each variety has unique
characteristics including the shape and size of the kernel.
As corn characteristics change, the fuel range may have to
change accordingly.
