Maintenance
Annual / Spring Shutdown
It is important to give the entire ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace 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 Furnace
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 Furnace as indicated can result in poor performance and safety
hazards.
Please use
Appendix 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.
Remember: A clean Furnace 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.
