Extending the hot air duct from the furnace into the existing plenum will help direct the flow of air from the 1600M as well as the flow in the existing furnace. Ducting entering the existing plenum at an angle (approximately 45 degrees) will facilitate air flow from the furnace while diverting air from the existing furnace.

The baffle on this system should be made the full width of the furnace plenum in order to properly direct the air into the distribution ducts.

RETURN AIR IS VERY IMPORTANT

When installing a Clayton Furnace, return air must be incorpo- rated into the system. Return air can be provided by installing a separate duct system or by tying into the cold air return of an existing gas or oil furnace. The cold air return duct can be connected to the furnace with either a factory manufactured U.S. Stove filter box or an equivalent fabricated from sheet metal (See pages 22-23).

When installing a cold air return, the following minimum size should be maintained to insure proper furnace performance.

Model 1600M — 16" x 20" or equivalent (320 sq. in.)

Failure to provide return air ducts of the specified size voids the furnace warranty.

A filter should be installed in the cold air return. Furnace filters should be checked and cleaned or replaced regularly.

If return air is not provided, the warm air distributed into your home will be restricted and the efficiency of the furnace decreased. Without a return air system, warm air will be drawn into your basement, unnecessarily heating unused areas of the home. In extreme cases, if your basement or utility room is fairly air tight, the large blower on the 1600M could depressurize the room and pull toxic flue gases from the furnace, a gas water heater, or gas furnace. The fumes could then be distributed throughout the house.

CAUTION: The warm air supply outlet of the supplementary furnace should not be connected to the cold-air return inlet of the central furnace because a possibility exists of components of the central furnace overheating causing it not to operate properly.

COMBUSTION AIR

All fires need air (specifically oxygen) to burn. Furnaces, fire- places, and wood-burning furnaces need enough oxygen for complete combustion of their fuels. The incomplete combustion that takes place when a furnace is "air starved" causes carbon monoxide (CO) to be formed in quantities that can be dangerous inside a well-sealed house. Having a source of combustion air from outside prevents this "air starvation" of the furnace. A simple positive air supply can be constructed using dryer vent and a

modified termination.

1600M specifications

The United States Stove 1600M is a highly efficient and versatile heating solution designed to provide warmth and comfort in homes. This stove, known for its robustness and excellent performance, primarily operates using wood, making it an eco-friendly choice for heating. It appeals to those who value sustainability while ensuring a cozy atmosphere in their living spaces.

One of the standout features of the 1600M is its large viewing window, which allows users to enjoy a picturesque view of the flickering flames. The door is designed to enhance safety while being stylish, combining functionality with aesthetics. Additionally, the large firebox has ample capacity, enabling the stove to hold logs up to 18 inches long. This means less frequent reloading and longer burn times, which translates to increased convenience for homeowners.

The 1600M employs advanced technology that maximizes heat output while minimizing emissions. With an efficient design, it boasts a high heat output of up to 74,000 BTUs, making it suitable for heating spaces up to 2,000 square feet. This powerful output is complemented by a patented re-burn technology that ensures nearly complete combustion, resulting in a cleaner burn and reducing the amount of smoke released into the atmosphere.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the United States Stove 1600M is its adjustable air control system. This system allows users to easily manage the burn rate and heat output, giving them greater control over their heating needs. Whether you prefer a slow-burning fire for a long, steady heat or a quick, intense burn for immediate warmth, this stove can accommodate your preferences.

The construction of the 1600M features heavy-duty steel, ensuring durability and longevity. Its solid build not only offers stability but also helps maintain heat over extended periods. With easily accessible features such as an ash pan for easy clean-up, the stove exemplifies user-friendly design.

In summary, the United States Stove 1600M combines efficiency, style, and practicality. With its large firebox, advanced burning technology, and ease of use, it stands as a prime choice for anyone looking to invest in a reliable and effective wood-burning stove. As a result, it offers not just a source of heat, but a centerpiece for homes that value warmth and comfort.
