7.5 Everyday Operation of Your EnergyLogic Used Oil Furnace
Once installed and checked, operate your EnergyLogic Furnace as follows:
Daily Operation.
•
Set the room thermostat to the desired temperature.
•
You should not let the temperature of the room get below 50°F (10°C), or the oil will
become thick and may present fuel delivery issues.
•
To shut down the furnace in an emergency, turn off the power at the user-installed,
switched junction box or main breaker.
Manage the Used Oil.
•
Do not put unapproved substances into your used oil storage tank. See section 1.5.1 for
a list of approved fuels.
•
Monitor the bottom of your tank for water and drain it off on a regular basis.
•
Don’t let your oil tank run dry. Don’t risk introduction of air into the fuel delivery system.
You will save yourself much time and trouble by keeping your tank filled with oil. If you
don’t have one, consider installing an optional EnergyLogic Low-Fuel Cut-Off Switch to
turn off the furnace at low fuel levels.
•
When filling the tank be careful not to agitate the oil so that air/sludge are not introduced
into the fuel pump.
•
Pre-screen the oil prior to putting it into the tank. Occasionally have your tank drained
and cleaned.
Monitor the System.
•
After your initial set up, monitor the system gauge readings on a regular schedule to
assure that the system is stable. Record the readings and any maintenance performed
in the maintenance log (refer to section 8) to track your system performance over time.
•
Maintain your furnace. Regular maintenance will help to keep the furnace running
reliable and efficient for many years.
Summer Blower Operation and Shutdown
•
Perform seasonal maintenance.
•
In summer months, the blower may be used to circulate room air. To run the blower fan
manually, the white button on the fan & high temperature limit controller may be pushed
in. To set the controller back to automatic mode, the button may be pulled out. Make
sure that the preheater is unplugged from the burner wire box if using the furnace
blower in the summer.
•
Refer to shutdown procedure in Section 8.6.
