Shelled Field Corn (Cont’d) corn used. In cases where it is acceptable for the appliance to run full time, 100% corn will work after the fire has been started using wood pellets. When purchasing corn to burn in your appliance, read the ingredient label very carefully. Do NOT purchase fuel that contains any additives such as oils (i.e. soybean oil) and meals as it will result in poor unit performance. If you are buying corn the only ingredient that should be listed is corn. Shelled field corn must be 15% or less moisture content. The corn must be clean and free from debris. Never burn corn straight from the field. Stalk parts, excessive fines and cob remnants, etc. will clog the auger mechanism. Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened by sifting with 3/16 (4.76mm) inch mesh screening. Do not burn treated seed corn in your appliance. Seed corn is treated with chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal if swallowed; therefore, seed corn is dangerous to have in the house, expecially where children can reach it. Burning treated seed corn in your appliane will void your warranty and will destroy the exhaust system on the unit. When changing to a different fuel, be sure to empty the hopper of the previous fuel and vacuum the hopper before you fill it with the new fuel. WARNING Risk of Chemical Poisoning. • Do Not burn treated seed corn • Chemical pesticides are harmful or fatal if swallowed • Burning treated seed corn will void your warranty 3. Storage Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed bag until using. This will prevent moisture absorption. Shelled corn should be stored in a tight container where it will not absorb moisture from damp or wet floors. This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem. Do not store any pellet fuel within the clearance requirements or in an area that would hinder routine cleaning and maintenance. Page 24 250-7251G August 20, 2009 R Castile Pellet Insert B. General Operating Information 1. Thermostat Calls For Heat The appliance is like most modern furnaces; when the thermostat calls for heat, your appliance will automatically light and deliver heat. When the room is up to temperature and the thermostat is satisfied, the red call light will shut off and the appliance will shut down. The red call light is located behind the left access panel. 2. Heat Output Controls This appliance is equipped with a heat output control switch that has three settings or burn rates; low, medium and high. The appliance will turn on and off as the thermostat demands. When the thermostat calls for heat, the appliance will always start up on High. After burning approximately 4 minutes, the appliance will then burn at the rate at which it was originally set. If the appliance is set at one of the lower settings, it will run quieter but takes longer to heat up an area than if it were set at a higher burn rate. Regardless of the burn rate, when the area is warm enough to satisfy the thermostat, the appliance will shut off. Figure 25.1 Heat OutputSwitchReset ButtonAsh PanRightSide WARNING • • • • • • Fire Hazard. Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance. Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity. DO NOT USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OF FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite. C. Before Your First Fire 1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly installed and that all safety requirements have been met. Pay particular attention to the fire protection, venting and thermostat installation instructions. 2. Double check that the ash pan and firebox are empty! 3. Check the position of the thermocouple, located above the firepot, and make sure that it protrudes approximately 3/4 inch (19mm) into the firepot. 4. Close the front door. CAUTION Tip of thermocouple must be in contact with the inside end of the thermocouple cover. Missed ignitions can occur. D. Starting Your First Fire 1. A thermostat is required for proper operation of this appliance, except for corn. At this time, fill the hopper with pellets, set the thermostat to its lowest setting. Plug the power cord into nearby outlet. 2. The exhaust blower will stay on for approximately 18 minutes even though the thermostat is not calling for heat. This is normal. 3. Locate the heat output control switch behind the right face on the lower right side of the firebox. Set to the HIGH setting and then adjust the thermostat to its highest setting. The red call light will be on which is located on the top of the junction box behind the right cast side. This indicates the thermostat is calling for heat. Figure 25.1. 4. The fuel feed system and the igniter should now be on. 5. For y...
