
Always latch the doors securely. If the fire box door is open for any extended amount of time
past the normal loading period, it will cause over-firing of the unit and result in the overheating of
the unit. This will cause damage to the electrical equipment and will result in causing the unit to
boil over. Always remember to keep your hinges oiled.

Always use proper care when installing, operating and maintaining the furnace.

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:
ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT-FITTING LID. THE
CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHED SHOULD 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 state or 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!
 Improper use or failure to maintain the outdoor furnace unit may cause nuisance conditions.
Persons operating this outdoor furnace are responsible for operation of the unit so as not to
cause a public or private nuisance condition. The manufacturer’s distance and stack height
recommendations and the requirements in any applicable laws or other requirements may not
always be adequate to prevent nuisance conditions due to terrain or other factors.
