General Rules

Rules for the Safe Installation and Operation of Your

Furnace...

Check local codes, the installation must comply with strict conformance in regard to clearances.

The Furnace must be installed on a noncombustible floor.

Connect the furnace to tile lined inside masonry chimney or approved insulated all fuel prefabricated chimney only.

Keep smoke pipe connection as short as possible, using a minimum 24 gauge pipe with a minimum 1/2" per foot rise from the flue collar to the chimney opening.

Be sure there is a sufficient supply of combustion air to the area where the furnace is to be located.

Do not over draft the furnace! It is designed to operate at

.04 to .06 inches of water column and must be set with a draft gauge to maintain a steady draft.

Do not use flammable liquids for starting a fire.

Do not store fuel or combustibles near the furnace. Some areas of the furnace are hot and could cause an explosion and possible bodily or property damage.

Store all ashes in a metal container with a tight sealing lid and allow ashes to cool before disposing of them, possibly a week.

Familiarize yourself with the furnace's solid fuel burning characteristics before leaving unit unattended for long pe- riods of time.

The loading door and ash door must be tightly closed dur- ing furnace operation to insure safety and efficiency.

CAUTION-

The furnace has hot surfaces. Keep Children Away. Do not touch during operation.

In the event of a chimney fire call the fire depart- ment, then be sure the furnace doors are closed tightly and the power to the unit is turned off.

The furnace is designed to burn air dried wood and coal at a predetermined firing rate. Over firing could result in dam- age to the heat exchanger and cause dangerous opera- tion. Over firing occurs when the ash door is left open during operation or a highly volatile fuel, such as large amounts of small kindling, is used. Note: This action voids all warranty.

Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule of the furnace and chimney for efficient and safe operation.

Do not leave the ash door open when the fire is burning.

Do not let ashes build up closer than 2" to the grate.

With new steel, there is a small amount of oil or dirt on the metal. You may smell an odor. This is normal during the first operation. You should assemble the furnace out of doors and build a small fire in it to "burn off" this dirt and oil before installing the unit.

During the first few fires, heat may slightly warp the front and back panels. This is normal and will not hamper your unit's operation.
