INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
MF3500G, MF3500S, MF3500B Models
INTRODUCTION
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 high stan- dards for usability and durability. With proper care, your stove will provide many years of service. Please read this entire manual before installation and use. Congratulations on your investment in quality.
BURNING SOLID FUELS
Ashes need to be removed from the stove periodically. See 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, due to the vast differences in fuel, humidity and outside temperature.
The parlor stove has been designed to burn dry shelled corn, pelletized fuel such as wood pellets and sunflower pellets that meet Association of Pellet Fuel Industries (A.P.F.I.) standards.
There are two pellet types currently approved for the Cumberland Stove. They are dried corn and pelletized wood. These two types are divided into three pellet type selections.They are corn seed and press wood and Natural Wood. The feed rates (auger ON/OFF) for each of these three selections are programmed in 0.001 second (1ms) intervals. The fuel map uses a set of equations that allow pellets to fall into the burn pot and be consumed by the fire at a 99% burning efficiency. The general guideline for pot loading is: The auger increases the pot fill in a nonlinear relationship to the pot consume number. This indirect relationship uses a set of heat transfer equations to vary this rate from 7.01 to 23.60 grams every cycle.
WARNING
NEVER BURN SEED CORN IN THE STOVE. Seed corn is treated with chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal if swallowed, seed corn is dangerous to have in the house, especially where children can reach it.
never burn “deer corn”. it frequently contains molasses sugars.
NEVER BURN CORN WITH A HIGH WAX CONTENT.
DO NOT PLACE SUCH ITEMS AS START PELLETS OR BURN GEL FUELS WITHIN THE PARLOR STOVE INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR LIGHTING AND ASH REMOVAL.
CAUTION
Burning onlythe recommended
Burning wood pellets according to recommendations will assure longer stove life and less frequent cleaning.
THE USE OF GRATES OR OTHER METHODS OF SUPPORTING THE FUEL IS NOT AUTHORIZED IN THIS PARLOR STOVE.
SHELLED CORN
Dry, shelled corn, preferably with
•Corn should 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 clean filtered corn only. Stalk parts, excessive fines and cob remnants will clog the auger. Check the corn for foreign objects.
•Store the corn supply in a dry place and keep bags or container sealed to prevent it from absorbing excess
