Pellets; Automatic Safety Features - Cumberland Stove Works MF3800 Installation And Service Manual

PELLETS

• As with corn, find a consistent pellet supplier. Pellets will
vary in content and burn characteristics from supplier to
supplier. A consistent supply of pellets will result in a more
consistent and efficient burn.
• Before burning, check the pellets for foreign objects. The
stove warranty will not cover damage done to the stove
due to foreign objects in the fuel supply.
• Store the pellets in a dry place to prevent them from
absorbing added moisture.
• To decrease dust build-up, the hopper will need to be
vacuumed out after every 6-8 bags of pellets—more often
if the pellets are poor quality. You may have to screen each
bag of pellets if dust becomes a problem.
• Wood pellets are generally produced out of wood waste
such as sawdust and shavings. The raw material is dried,
mechanically fractioned to size and extruded under intense
pressure into pellets. Wood pellets need to be protected
from direct water penetration. If exposed to water droplets
from condensation they will gradually decompose and
loose their effectiveness as a fuel. The decomposition
involves expanded volume, and over time, a gradual
breakdown.
• Cherry Pits are the woody remains of processed cherries.
This fuel can be found affordably in regions of the country
that process cherries.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES

POWER OUTAGE
During a power outage, the stove will shutdown safely. It will
not automatically restart when the power returns. If the stove
is still at operating temperature when power returns, the
convection fan will vent the remaining heat out of the stove.
See "Lighting Instructions" section for more information.
OVERHEATING
Over-Fire Protection: If the stove
is being over-fired or burning
too hot, the high limit switch will
automatically shut down the stove
to avoid damage to components.
Allow the stove to cool at least one
hour before relighting. The high limit
switch is located behind the right
access panel. To reset the high limit
switch, first remove the right access
panel (SEE FIGURE A). Then press
the square button in the middle of
the switch. SEE FIGURE B.
