Startup 
When the circuit board is energized (unit plugged in) there is a 15 second purging of the auger tube to 
allow fuel to enter the firepot.  To initiate the Startup, turn the heat setting knob to the number 3 setting.  
If the unit is started on the 1 or 2 settings the firebox temperature may not raise fast enough for the low 
limit censor to engage.  When the heat setting knob is turned on, the draft blower starts but the auger feed 
does not start feeding fuel until after 3 minutes. 
 
The fuel stirrer can be turned on at this time and run for a couple of turns to stir the fuel. After the fuel is 
lit, the fuel stirrer can be left on the number 1 setting.   Corn may require a higher setting if the moisture 
content is high or if the corn has a high starch content.  Wood pellets may require a higher setting if the 
ash content is high or if you are running the unit on the high setting. 
 
NOTE: Make sure that the wall thermostat is turned up so that the unit will start on the number 3 setting. 
 
If the fire is not hot enough to engage the low limit censor, (within 20 minutes) the circuit board will 
cycle through the shut down mode and the unit will shut down.  The green indicator light will blink 
rapidly to show that the unit is not operating properly.  To restart the system, simply turn the heat-setting 
knob to the off position and turn back on to the number 3 setting. 
 
Once the unit is operating at the proper temperature (usually 10-15 minutes), select the heat setting that 
you want, adjust the manual draft adjustment knob so that the fuel is app. ½ inch thick in the bottom of 
the firepot.  (There should be a nice bed of red coals in the bottom of the firepot). 
 
The number 3 heat setting is best for corn and the number 4 heat setting is best for wood pellets for a high 
fire burn.  The high heat setting should only be used if the home is over 2500 square feet or the weather is 
extremely cold.  The high heat setting is intended for use with wood pellets and the highest heat setting 
for corn would be the number 4 setting.  
 
The unit is not designed to be operated for long periods of time on the highest setting.  Optimum 
efficiency is achieved by using lower settings.  It is also recommended that the unit not be run for 
extended periods of time on the number 1 setting.  The draft blower and venting will fill up with fly ash 
after a long period of time.  Once a day pull the manual draft knob out all the way and turn the unit up on 
high.  Run it this way for a few minutes to clear the venting and draft blower.  It is good to run the unit on 
one of the higher settings at least once a week to clear the system and eliminate the buildup of fly-ash. 
 
Shutdown 
To shut the unit down simply turn the heat setting knob to the off position and the system will enter the 
shut down mode.  The fuel stirrer, room fan and exhaust blower will continue to operate until the low 
limit safety censor tells it that the fire is out and the firepot has gone through its cleaning cycle.  After this 
time the fuel stirrer will shut off.  When this happens the fuel auger will go into the purging cycle and 
auger a small amount of fuel out of the auger into the firepot.  Then the entire system shuts down. 
 
 
  
 
 
CIRCUIT BOARD FUNCTIONS 
Before starting up the Countryside Multifuel Corn/Wood Pellet unit again, it is important to remember 
to shut off the fuel stirrer so that the fire can be started properly.  It will also ensure that the fuel stirrer 
will not start with someone having his or her hand in the firepot area.
