DISCLAIMER NOTICE

The BTU ranges and heating capacity specifications are provided as a guide only and in no way guarantee the output or capacity of the units. The actual BTU output depends on the type of fuel being burned and its conditions, the thermostat setting, the draft adjustment and the chimney that the unit is hooked up to. The actual area that the unit will heat depends on factors such as the conditions of the building, heat loss, type of construction, amount of insulation, type of air move- ment, and the location of the unit.

LOCATING YOUR FURNACE

The furnace is to be installed maintaining clearances as shown in illustration.

Do not place the furnace directly on a combustible floor.

If you're placing it on a combustible floor, an approved fire retardant material equivalent to 3/8" asbestos millboard should be placed under the furnace. The material must extend at least 16" in front of and 8" on either side of the fuel-loading

and

ash-removal doors, and underneath the

chimney connector and extending at least 2" on either side of the chimney connector.

REDUCED CLEARANCES

NFPA guidelines and most codes permit reduced clearances to combustible walls and ceilings if adequate protection is added. A common mistake is to assume that sheet metal, masonry, or asbestos board placed directly against a wall protects it. Materials installed in this manner give very little protection. These materials are good heat conductors, so they will be almost as hot on their back side as they are on the exposed side. Therefore, the combustible wall behind is still a fire hazard.

A wall can be kept cool using these items but only if they're mounted and spaced out from the wall by an inch or two to allow free circulation of room air behind the protective panel. The protective panel should start within a few inches of floor level.

The three rules to follow when constructing wall protectors:

1.Non-combustibility of all materials including mounting or supporting.

2.A well ventilated air space between protector or wall.

3.Sufficient strength and rigidity so that the protector and 2" FROMair spaceCEILINGwill be durable.

CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS

A masonry or Class A All-Fuel Metal Insulated Chimney must be used in all airtight wood furnace installations. The mini- mum recommended flue size for the U.S. Stove Hotblast Furnace is 6" (inside diameter) for round flues, and 7" x 7" for square flues. When making new chimney installations,

This model also boasts a robust design, often made from heavy-duty steel, which not only enhances its longevity but also provides excellent heat retention. The 1800 series may come with advanced features such as a secondary combustion system, promoting cleaner burning and improved efficiency by maximizing heat output while reducing smoke emissions.

Both models feature easy-to-use mechanical controls for regulating airflow, allowing users to adjust the fire's intensity according to their heating needs. Additionally, they are designed to be compatible with various flue venting systems, providing flexibility in installation options.

Safety is a paramount concern in both the 1600 and 1800 models, with built-in safeguards such as a thermal protective barrier and an external ash door for easy cleaning and maintenance.
