Your Woodchuck can operate and produce heat without electric power. This is one of the features built into ev- ery Woodchuck.

damper), if any, to open position.

CLOSED

2. Turn manual draft controls to this position.

	in power failure.

3.Remove filter box service access cover, allowing cooler air to move hot air through the furnace, cooling the plenum and the house hot air duct system.

If power fails, to avoid product damage, close manual draft completely. Forced draft and natural draft are pre- set.

In the event of a runaway fire, close all drafts. Close smoke damper halfway.
