360EK/365EK/480EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 5
Component Description
4. Cast Iron Doors. Heavy cast iron fuel
loading and ash removal doors are secured
to the Furnace using door pins (4 included).
The door gaskets provide an airtight seal and
should be inspected regularly to ensure that
they are in good condition at all times. The
gasket must be replaced if it becomes
damaged or worn. Do not operate the
Furnace with the fuel loading or ash removal
doors open.
5. Cast Iron Hearth Plates. Cast with the
words “Wood” and “Coal” on opposite sides,
these plates help to ensure the precise
amount of combustion air required to
promote the most efficient combustion for
either fuel. ENERGY KING Wood/Coal
Furnaces use two cast iron hearth plates—
one at the front of the burn chamber, and
one at the rear. (2 included).
Cast Iron Stationary (Wood) Grates. (Not
pictured). This is where you build your wood
fire. If you selected the Shaker Grate option,
the Wood Grates will have been replaced with
Shaker Grates at the factory.
6. Cast Iron Shaker Grates (Optional). This is
where you build your wood or coal fire. The
handle to control the Shaker Grates is
located at the front of the Furnace, on the left
side of the ash removal door.
7. Firebrick. (9
″
x 4-1/2
″
x 1-1/4
″
) 2000-degree,
heat retentive firebrick protects the sides of
the Furnace’s burn chamber. ENERGY KING
360EK/365EK Furnace uses 10 firebricks (5
on each side), while ENERGY KING 480EK
Furnace uses 12 firebricks (6 on each side).
Ash Removal Pan. (Not pictured) Designed for
easy cleanup of fine ash accumulation. Do not
operate the Furnace with the ash removal door
open; keep it closed except to remove ashes.
The ash removal door gasket provides an
airtight seal and should be inspected to ensure
that it is in good condition at all times. The
gasket must be replaced if it becomes
damaged or worn.
8. Circulation Blower. The three-speed
circulation blower, operated by the fan/limit
control, forces air on all sides of the burn
chamber, then into the home's duct system.
The blower can be manually adjusted to run
faster or slower to correspond to the amount
of heat being produced.
9. Filter Box (optional). Provides air filtration
for your cold-air return system. A non-
combustible filter is required when using the
optional filter box.
10. Control Box. Controls the Furnace’s
electrical system. The control box is pre-
wired for your preferred draft system.
Combustion Fan. (Not pictured) If you
selected Forced Air Draft, this fan will supply air
for combustion by forcing air into the burn
chamber when your wall thermostat calls for
heat.
11. 24-V Damper Control Motor. If you
selected Automatic Draft, this motor will
supply combustion air to the burn chamber
by automatically opening the draft damper
door when your wall thermostat calls for
heat.
Draft Dial. (Not pictured) If you selected
Manual Draft, this spin dial will allow you to
regulate the amount of combustion air being
pulled into the burn chamber.
24-V Wall Thermostat. (Not pictured) Tells
your Furnace when your home has cooled
below your preferred temperature. Your
automatic or forced air draft system is
controlled primarily by your wall thermostat.
12. Fan/Limit Control. This control
automatically starts and stops the
circulation blower. It also features a limit
switch which will cut power to the damper
control motor or combustion fan if the
temperature exceeds the set limit, while the
circulation blower continues to run to cool
the furnace.
13. Insulated Cabinet . The almond-colored
steel cabinet panels (sides and top) restrain
the foil-backed insulation, allowing
maximum heat from the Furnace to be
circulated through the home’s warm-air
supply duct system.
14. Legs . Raise the Furnace off the floor to
prevent the accumulation of moisture
between the floor and the bottom of the
Furnace.
Domestic Hot Water Tube (Optional).
(Not pictured) For heating domestic water.
