Maintenance
Monthly
The water level on your ENERGY KING
Wood/Coal Boiler should be monitored on a
regular basis and refilled when necessary.
Seasonally / Every 3 Months / After
every 1 – 2 Tons of fuel burned
Until you are familiar with how ash and creosote
accumulate with your operating practices, we
recommend inspecting your ENERGY KING
Wood/Coal Boiler at least once per ton of fuel
burned. Particular attention should be given to:
•
Draft Control system (blowers, etc.)
•
Gaskets (Fuel Loading and Ash Removal
Doors)
•
Water Level
•
Fresh air intake
•
Chimney
Annually
At least once each year:
•
Verify the Pressure Relief Valve’s proper
functioning by manually opening the valve
and releasing water into the floor drain. If
no water flows, do not operate the Boiler
until a new Pressure Relief Valve is
installed.
•
Inspect the Boiler and plumbing for leaks.
•
Verify the proper operation of all pumps
and valves.
Spring Shutdown
It is important to give the entire ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Boiler a thorough cleaning:
•
Your venting system should be inspected
and cleaned annually. Clean and remove fly
ash from chimney connector, flue pipes and
chimney. Soot buildup should be removed to
prevent the risk of a chimney fire and to
minimize corrosion during the summer
months.
•
Scoop out any unburned fuel from the burn
chamber, and empty and clean the burn
chamber and ash removal pan.
○ Do not allow fuel or ash to sit in the
ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Boiler over the
summer months. Fuel and ash can
accumulate moisture over the summer
months having a corrosive effect on metal
and cast iron parts, and causing the fuel to
mold.
Failure to clean and maintain this heating appliance as indicated can result in poor performance
and safety hazards.
Please use
Appendix D: Purchase & Service Record
to keep a record of your maintenance and
service practices. In the event of a warranty claim, we may request a copy of this record.
Remember: A clean appliance burns efficiently and will remain trouble free!
Cleaning the flue pipe and chimney is especially important
at the end of the heating season to minimize corrosion
during the summer months caused by accumulated ash.
