WARNING: Maintain all minimum safety clearances of the Harvester stove and chimney system. Never install the Harvester in a sleeping room.
WARNING: The Harvester is designed and approved for burning of number 2 yellow shelled corns with a maximum moisture content of 14% or biomass pellet fuel. Any fuel used in this stove must meet or exceed APFI standards. Do not burn untested fuels, seed corn, or foreign materials in this product. Failure to comply with this restriction voids Country Flame’s warranty and the safety listing of the unit. Poor quality fuel will directly (and adversely) affect efficiency and cleanliness of operation. Country Flame’s local authorized dealer can help in recommending a quality fuel
WARNING: NEVER use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or other combustible liquids to start or “freshen up” the fire in this product. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or allow combustible vapors in the vicinity of product.
WARNING: NEVER put foreign objects in the hopper and NEVER burn trash or unapproved material 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.
WARNING: Ensure free and adequate airflow to and around the Harvester. This stove is a combustion system that requires continuous flow of fresh air for proper operation. Failure to provide an adequate fresh air supply can lead to operational problems such as: negative pressure in the home, poor operation of this or other home combustion appliances, or a host of other issues. Remember that other combustion appliances compete for fresh air in the home. Consult with a professional to ensure positive air flow is provided to the stove during operation.
WARNING: The Harvester’s exhaust system works with a negative combustion chamber pressure and a low positive chimney pressure. It is very important that the stove’s exhaust and chimney system be airtight and properly installed. The chimney joints should be sealed with 500 degrees Fahrenheit (500OF or 260 OC) silicone sealant (RTV) and secured with at least (3) sheet metal screws. An improperly installed stove or chimney system is the major cause of a home fire.
WARNING: When installed in a mobile home, the Harvester must be grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home. In addition, the stove must be bolted to the floor. A mobile home installation of the Harvester should be in accordance with the Manufactured Home and Safety Standard (HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24. Consult the local code authority.
WARNING: SOOT AND FLY ASH: The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during
WARNING: ASH REMOVAL: The ash pan is designed to be emptied every day. If the ash pan is not emptied regularly, ash will build up and restrict the flow of fresh air to the combustion chamber. The ash pan door should not be opened for prolonged periods of time (greater than 3 minutes.) If the ash pan door is opened for long periods of time an unrestricted supply of air can flow into the combustion chamber. This unrestricted air flow can cause
