Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

You have selected the finest quality wood burning furnace, manufactured with pride in the USA.
Please take a few moments to carefully read the owner’s manual.  By taking the time to familiarize
yourself with your new FC300, you will be able to look forward to years of trouble-free, dependable
service.

Installation

First:  Check Local Codes:  The installation must comply with all local rulings and requirements.

•   This furnace must not be installed in trailers, modular or mobile homes.
•   Always have a properly installed and functioning smoke detector installed in your
     home.
•  To prevent accidental injury, do not allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the
    furnace to operate it.
•  Spend time familiarizing yourself with your FC300 Furnace, especially  the
   different settings and the effect they have on burn patterns.  It is impossible to
   state how each setting will affect your furnace due to variations in settings, fuels
   and temperatures.

Transportation Damages

Every effort has been made to insure that your FC300 will arrive in perfect condition.  Any visible
damage should be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery.  If upon unpacking your FC300 you
find damage has occurred during transit, notify your supplier immediately.  Your supplier will advise
you as to what actions must be taken to correct the problem.

Disclaimer  Notice

The listed Btu rating of your new FC300 was obtained under ideal laboratory testing conditions.  The
actual Btu output you experience may vary somewhat depending on the type, condition and moisture of
the fuel used, the damper adjustment, chimney type and other variable factors.  Therefore, the manufac-
turer disclaims any guarantee as to the Btu output or capacity of your unit.

Manufacturer’s Notice

Please be advised that we periodically make changes to improve our products.  Therefore the informa-
tion in this manual may not be completely compatible with your FC300

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR WOOD COVERED YEAR ROUND.

DRY WOOD WILL PRODUCE MORE BTU OUTPUT

AND LONGER BURN TIMES.

THIS IS A WOOD BURNING FURNACE

AND SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED IN ANY WAY!
