General Operating Instructions Continued
NOTE: Corn should distribute evenly to both sids of the burner box as it hits corn
divider. If adjustment is required, loosen screws slightly (requires 5/16” nut
driver, socket wrench, or equivalent tool) slide divider left or right towards side
feeding more heavily. Press and hold the PRIME button in order to check
adjustment, then retighten. If corn feeds to the front or rear of box too heavily,
bend divider up or down slightly.
IMPORTANT: Proper adjustment of the corn divider is necessary for the
efficient operation of your stove. If the corn is feeding too heavily towards the
back side of the burner box, as the clinker/ash builds up, excessive heat can
travel up the feed tube to the hopper, causing it to sweat. Also, it can eventually
block the corn dropping out of the feed tube opening, causing the corn to jam in
the feed tube and the fire to die out.
TIP: It is hard to see the effect of the adjustment without some clinker/ash
buildup. For accuate adjustment, re-check after stove has been burning for a
couple of hours. If readjustment is necessary, turn off power and fine tune by
bending the divider left,right, up or down. Once divider is properly set, no re-
adjustment should be required. The more accurately the corn feeds to the
center of the burner box, the better the quality of the fire, heat output, and
length of time between clinker removal will be.
