5.Remove ash regularly as directed.

6.Watch for soot build up in smoke pipe.

7.Realize the danger of extreme overheating due to overfiring.

9.Operation of unit during power failure. (i.e. manual operation of zone valves and flow check valves).

10.When shutting down for extended periods, clean unit thoroughly.

11.Apply a light coating of motor oil to inside of boiler and other exposed interior surfaces to protect against rust due to moisture from condensation.

12.Before reloading the boiler with wood, turn up the thermostat 2 to 3 minutes prior to loading to establish the draft.

13.When reloading rake the ashes toward the front and place the new fuel load toward the rear of the boiler.

14.If, under poor draft conditions, smoke comes out of the door when reloading, the cast iron baffles may be moved forward on the ledge to allow a ¾” gap behind the baffles. This will allow smoke over the smoldering embers to escape through the gap when the door is opened.
