BURNING SOLID FUELS SHELLED CORN continued... (Dry, preferably corn with 11- 12% moisture content) • Corn must contain less than 14% moisture content. Wet corn will rapidly deteriorate heater 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 bagged corn only.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES 6041(TP)(HF) The heater must be installed with the following minimum clearances to side and back wall combustible materials.

DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR 6041I INSERT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE 4” VENT IS MANDATORY FOR INSERT INSTALLATIONS. When installing into a masonry fireplace, DO NOT remove any bricks or masonry, with the following exception: masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame, if necessary, to accommodate a chimney liner.
GLASS MAINTENANCE, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT Your Multi-Fuel Heater comes to you with the glass door installed in place, ready for use. The glass is surrounded on the edges with a gasket and seated in a glass channel. It is held in place with two (2) clips. REMOVAL OF BROKEN OR DAMAGED CERAMIC GLASS Open the door and then lift it off of the hinges. If the door is tight, tap gently on the bottom of the door with your hand or rubber hammer. Lay door down on newspaper with glass clips facing you.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROL BOARD CONTROL PANEL Turning the heater OFF/ON, as well as adjustments for the fuel feed rate and room fan speed are performed by pressing the appropriate button(s) on the control panel which is located on the lower left-hand side of your American Harvest heater. The insert model 6041I is located on the left facade. This unit has two fuel operation modes for different fuels, corn or pellet.
TO START A FIRE... • Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use. Using Wood Pellets: Ensure your display shows a “Pr” for pellets. • Close all doors, lids, and cleanouts. • Press the “ON” button and select desired heat range. This will start the ignition sequence.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
Weekly Maintenance • Shut down the heater as directed in the operating instructions. Allow the heater to cool to room temperature. Remove the small clean-out slides in the lower corners of the firebox. Tap the sides of the burn chamber with a wooden stick. Do not tap the firewall behind the burn box as it may damage the ceramic firebrick. Scrape the fly ash from the clean-out chambers toward the front of the burn chamber. Remove the fly ash from the burn chamber and replace the clean-outs.
CONTROL BOARD FUNCTIONS START-UP SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Once the control panel is turned on, a timer begins that will start, stop and continue operation of the Multi-fuel Heater as a preset temperature is achieved. COMPONENT OPERATION START OPERATION END Draft Fan Starts Immediately Will continue until shutdown. Shutdown will occur when the operating temperature is below approx. 90 degrees.
