IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION
The information contained on pages 4-5 appears throughout this manual. Be sure to read carefully and understand
these precautions before, during and after the installation, operation and maintenance of the furnace.
CAUTION
This outdoor furnace is not intended to be the only
source of heat. In the event of a prolonged power
failure, a generator may be used to prevent lines
from freezing. Should the outdoor furnace be left
unattended, run out of fuel or require service, an
alternate heating source in the building being heated
should be in place to prevent damage caused by
freezing.
WARNING
The outdoor furnace vent cap must fit loosely on the
vent opening (Fig. 1). Do not force the cap down or
try to seal it tightly onto the vent pipe. Do not extend
or restrict the vent pipe or opening. DO NOT ALLOW
THE OUTDOOR FURNACE TO BE PRESSURIZED.

WARNING
Be sure the outdoor furnace is filled with water before
firing. Never fire the outdoor furnace when the water

This outdoor wood furnace and/or chimney must
not be installed inside or under any configuration or
construction that contains combustible materials as

water boiler or in a forced air system, be sure none of
the existing system safety controls are disabled.
NOTE: Any changes to an existing boiler system
should be done by a qualified installer in
accordance with applicable codes.
WARNING

panel without first disconnecting the electrical power
at the main power source.
