Always wear protective gloves and glasses and be aware that loose or hanging clothing
can catch fire!
Be careful when loading wood into the furnace. Surface areas inside the furnace are hot.
Creosote build up in the furnace can ignite suddenly or cause burns if dripped onto the
skin.
Do not modify the furnace. Do not substitute repairs that can be provided by your dealer,
distributor or manufacturing company.
Any such action will void your warranty.
Do not operate under pressure. This is a non-pressurized system. Addition of
valves or plugs to the system that would cause pressure will void your warranty.
Keep the overflow tube clean and free of debris, bugs, etc. DO NOT close it off! The tube
is meant to steam if necessary and allow for pressure release.
Failure to heed these warnings or any additional warnings on the furnace may result
in an accident causing personal injury and damage.
!! CALL LOCAL UTILITIES BEFORE YOU DIG THE TRENCH !!
Disposal of ashes:
OPEN THE ASH DOOR AND REMOVE TRAY FOR THE DISPOSAL OF ASHES.
ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT-FITTING LID.
THE CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHED SHOULE BE PLACED ON A NON-
COMPUSTIBLE FLOOR OR ON THE GROUND. ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF BY BURIAL IN SOIL OR OTHERWISE DISPERSED.
ASHES SHOULD BE RETAINED IN THE CLOSED CONTAINER UNTIL ALL CINDERS
HAVE THOROUGHLY COOLED.
Installation, to include wiring and plumbing, and operation must follow Federal, Provincial,
State and Local Codes, electrical, plumbing, fire and building codes.
The Earth furnace is intended to be the primary source of heat. However, a back-up
system should always be in place and ready for use.
A back-up generator is HIGHLY recommended so that you can have heat during power
outages! The standard pump and fan draw 120 watts together. The furnace can draw
1350 watts or more on start-up. A small 2000 watt generator will power it all and give you
extra power for lights.
The manufacturer is not liable for damages or property in the case of misuse, improper
installation of equipment or for knowing local installation codes. Product owner assumes
all responsibility for this.
This document is a general manual to aid in installation. We
cannot know all applicable codes in your area!
Remember to give the furnace a “Once Over” regularly.
o
“Once” a day check the water level
o
“Once” a week clean the ashes out (or often if needed)
o
“Once” a month clean the chimney
