WARNING
Maintain the following clearances from combustibles
for the furnace installation:
• 44" (112 cm) from the back
• 12" (30.5 cm) from the sides
• 48" (122 cm) from the front
• 18" (46 cm) from chimney inspection cover
• The foundation must be noncombustible
• Refer to Fig. 3 for required maintenance
clearances
WARNING
For fire safety, keep all combustible materials at least
six feet (two meters) away from the outdoor furnace,
especially around the door area. Debris of wood chips
and other combustibles in the area may be easily
ignited if a hot coal is spilled out of the firebox and
left unnoticed.
WARNING
The firebox door must be closed and latched at all
times except when filling the firebox with wood.
Leaving the firebox door open may lead to a runaway
fire. In the event of a runaway fire, close the firebox
door. In the event of a chimney or soot fire, close the
firebox door and make sure power is off to the outdoor
furnace.
CAUTION
Open the bypass door 15 seconds before opening the
firebox door and close the bypass door 15 seconds
after closing the firebox door. Do not leave the bypass
door open during operation. Leaving the bypass
door open during operation may cause damage to
components of the outdoor furnace and may cause
creosote buildup that can prevent the bypass door
from sealing properly.
WARNING
All covers must be maintained at all times except
during maintenance, inspection and service.
WARNING
When opening the firebox door, the door switch will
shut off the primary air solenoid and prevent the gas-
fired wood ignition burner (if installed) from operating
while the firebox door is open. Do NOT disable the
door switch.
CAUTION
This outdoor furnace is not to be connected to a
chimney flue serving another appliance.
WARNING
Use only untreated wood in the firebox. Do not burn
trash, plastics, gasoline, rubber, naphtha, household
garbage, material treated with petroleum products
(particle board, railroad ties and pressure treated
wood), leaves, paper products or cardboard.
WARNING
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only.
Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally
result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods,
as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly
but hardwoods. DO NOT BURN: any wood that is
not clean wood, unseasoned wood, garbage, tires,
lawn clippings, leaves, brush trimmings or general
yard waste, materials containing asbestos, materials
containing lead, mercury or other heavy toxic metals,
materials containing plastic, materials containing
rubber, waste petroleum products, paints and paint
thinners, asphalt products, chemicals, coal, glossy
or colored paper, construction and demolition debris,
plywood, particleboard, salt water driftwood and other
previously salt water saturated materials, manure,
animal carcasses and asphalt products. Burning
these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or
render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
NOTE: The prohibition against burning these
materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters
made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and
similar substances for the purpose of starting a
fire in an affected wood heater.
NOTE: Chloride or sulfurous gases can be
generated if plastic or rubber is burned and will
mix with the moisture from the wood and form
hydrochloric or sulfuric acids in the firebox,
creating corrosion.
NOTE: Do not use chemicals or fluids to start
the fire. Use kindling or gas-fired wood ignition
option to start an initial fire.
NOTE: This outdoor furnace is not to be used
with an automatic stoker.
WARNING
When adding wood to the firebox, be careful not to
get pinched between the wood and the door frame, or
any part of the outdoor furnace. Use extreme care with
large pieces of wood that may be difficult to handle.
NOTE: The sight gauge valve should always be
closed, except when checking water level. Water
will automatically drain from the sight gauge tube
when the valve is closed. Remember that this type
of valve requires only 1/4 turn to open or close.
WARNING
Sulfuric acid in the test kit is a corrosive acid. Handle
carefully. Carefully read and follow precautions on
test chemical labels. Keep test chemicals away from
children. Safely dispose of tested samples.
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.
