Routine Maintenance
Please use the following timeline as a guide for determining how much maintenance your
ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace requires to operate at peak performance. Failure to clean and
maintain this Furnace as indicated can result in poor performance and safety hazards.
Please use
E: 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.
Daily
Until a pattern of cleaning requirement is
established, inspect and, if necessary, clean
the following components daily:

Fuel Supply, refilling as necessary.

Flue Pipes, including joints and seals, should
be inspected to ensure that smoke and flue
gases are not drawn in and circulated by the
air-circulation system.

Ash removal pan should be emptied and
cleaned regularly. Ash content is a good
indicator of fuel efficiency and quality. High
quality fuel will produce less ash than lower
quality fuel. Never allow ash to build up to
the level of the grates.
Every 2
– 3 Days / Weekly
Once a pattern of cleaning requirement is
established, the following components should
still be monitored on a regular basis:

Burn chamber

Ash Removal Pan

Flue pipes, joints and seal
Monthly
The air filter on your ENERGY KING
Wood/Coal Furnace should be monitored on a
regular basis and replaced 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 Furnace 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)

Air Filter

Fresh air intake

Chimney
Inspect flue pipes, joints and seals regularly to ensure
that smoke and flue gases are not drawing into the home.
