General Requirements
The installation of any solid-fuel heating appliance is not a do-it-yourself project. The
ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace should be installed by a qualified installer with specific
knowledge of central heating systems. Check with your fire department and building inspector for
local, state, and national codes and regulations regarding installation.
Solid-fuel heating appliance related fires are caused almost exclusively by installation, operation, or
maintenance errors. A smoke detector in “working” condition
must be a part of every
ENERGY KING solid-fuel heating appliance installation—this is the most inexpensive insurance you
can buy! For additional safety, RJM Manufacturing, Inc. recommends installing working smoke
detectors and a listed carbon monoxide warning device in the living areas of the home.
The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace is designed to be used in conjunction with a listed gas- or
oil-fired furnace, or as a central Furnace.
Placement

Floor Protection
Floor protection must be provided because
of possible spillage of ashes and burning
fuel. The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal
Furnace must be installed on a non-
combustible floor or 3/8-inch thick fireproof
millboard or equivalent.
The non-combustible material must be
placed underneath the furnace, and must
extend at least 18 inches on all sides of the
Furnace, and at least 8 inches on either
side of the fuel loading and ash removal
doors.
Additionally, the non-combustible material
must extend at least 18 inches on either
side of the chimney connector.
Consult your local ENERGY KING dealer
for possible sources of non-combustible
floor protection material acceptable for use
with your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal
Furnace.

As Primary Furnace
Locate the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal
Furnace as close to the new or existing
chimney as possible and as central to the
heat distribution system as practical.
Additionally, the ENERGY KING
Wood/Coal Furnace should be placed so
that you can easily complete operation and
maintenance procedures.
Strictly adhere to all requirements
pertaining to clearances to combustibles,
combustion air, venting system, draft
control, and thermostat installation.
Risk of Fire:
Do not connect the ENERGY KING heating appliance
to any chimney flue serving any other appliance.
