NOTE:
OVER-FIRING OR DELIBERATE ABUSE CAN CAUSE THE FRONT FACE OF THE
FURNACE TO CRACK FROM EXPANSION WHEN VERY HOT AND CONTRACTING
WHEN FURNACE COOLS DOWN. OVER-FIRING CAN READILY BE ASCERTAINED
UPON INSPECTION AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
FIRING YOUR UNIT:
First close the ash drawer, adjust both spin drafts to a fully opened position. Crumple a few large
sheets of newspaper and place them on the grate. Layer several small pieces of dry kindling or fire-
wood on top of the paper. Light the paper and close the fuel door.
It will take about twenty minutes to establish a hot fire so the blower will turn on automatically.
Within thirty to forty minutes, adjust the spin draft and the damper to obtain optimum performance.
Blower will turn on automatically at 110
°
. The blower will shut -off automatically at 90
°.
NOTE:
Your new Model 300 is capable of producing a very high output of Btu’s. Do not fuel your furnace to
capacity upon initial firing. Instead, we recommend becoming thoroughly familiar with your Model
300 before operating at full capacity.
The new steel and metal components in the furnace may have a protective coating of oil or paint on the
surface which could produce an odor and smoke during the break-in period. Adequate ventilation
within the home and furnace room or area is recommended during the initial firing and break-in period
to accommodate this possibility.
Caution
:
• DO NOT
operate your Model 300 with the Fuel or Ash Drawer
OPEN
.
•
Flue setting minimum .08 inches water column of draft.
• LEAVE
the Ash Pan inside your Model 300 during operation.
•
The Ash Pan should not be removed from your Model 300 during operation.
If the ash level is
improperly maintained, the fire box will be starved for combustion air, greatly reducing the efficiency
and heating capability of your Model 300.
