16.7.2. COOL Mode
If an air conditioning unit is installed, the PC board will have to be connected to a dual-function wall thermostat (e.g.
“heat/cool”) in order to synchronize the start of the furnace blower with the start of the air conditioning condenser.
Upon receiving the wall thermostat’s signal, the furnace blower will start functioning at the speed selected by the user.
16.7.3. CIRC Mode (air circulation)
This mode is used to circulate air during summer. Thus you will benefit from your ducting system to circulate fresh air
from your basement throughout the house. To activate the circulation mode, put the thermostat in FAN-ON mode.
16.8. WOOD HEATING
16.8.1. LIGHTING
1. Open the furnace door.
Note: If there is already a bed of coals in the firebox, go to pre-heating.
2. Press the wood icon, if the wood icon is not green, to open the damper (no thermostat demand)
3. Place one or two dry kindlings at the front of the furnace.
4. Place newspaper strips on top of the kindlings.
5. Cover the newspaper with more kindlings and small pieces of dry wood.
6. Add newspaper strips, then light the fire as low as possible and leave the door 1/2" (13 mm) opened. If you fail
lighting the fire, you might experience a back draft through the air inlets.
16.8.2. PREHEATING
1. Once the kindling is well ignited or the coals revived, put 2 or 3 fire logs in such a way that the flames can interlace
between the logs. Then, close the door. It is important to respect these loading sequences so that the wood will
burn from the front to the back of the furnace.
2. Wait 15 to 20 minutes, then proceed with loading the furnace.
16.8.3. HEATING
1. When loading the furnace, lower the kindled pieces of wood and place them at the center of the combustion
chamber before adding new logs.
2. Do not overload. Air must circulate freely in the upper part of the combustion chamber in order to obtain an efficient
operation of the appliance (secondary burn). Please note that a small hot fire will produce much less residues than
a large, smouldering one.
IMPORTANT: DURING THE HEATING PROCESS, REMOVE THE ASHES AND WOOD THAT COULD
OBSTRUCT THE 1/4" (6.4 mm) HOLE (PILOT) LOCATED BELOW THE DOOR, INSIDE THE FURNACE’S
COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
16.8.4. EARLY SIGNS OF AN OVERFIRED FURNACE:
•
Roaring fire.
PROCEDURE TO OPEN THE LOADING DOOR
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF SMOKE SPILLAGE, OPEN THE DOOR 1” AND WAIT ABOUT 10
SECONDS BEFORE OPENING IT COMPLETELY.THE PURPOSE IS TO STABILIZE THE
PRESSURE INSIDE THE FURNACE.
