3.
When the “Temperature” indicator on the control panel is illuminated in the second position (“Normal”)
from the bottom, press the “SmokeGuard” button on the control panel before opening the firebox door,
add enough wood to match the current need for heat. Do not load more wood than is needed to meet
your applications demand.
WHEN OPENING FIREBOX DOOR:
To limit smoke from back flowing into the room,
ALWAYS press the “SmokeGuard” button on the control panel before opening the firebox
door. Unlatch the firebox door and open it about ½ inch. Wait about 10 seconds while
airflow in the firebox adjusts to the new source of air. Open the firebox door fully. Be careful
not to touch hot surfaces. Avoid opening the firebox door shortly after loading.
Loading Wood into the Firebox
1.
If a fire is not already burning in the furnace, refer to instructions for “Starting the Fire.”
2.
Using a coal shovel, carefully distribute the hot coals evenly around the bottom of the firebox.
3.
Carefully pick up a log and place it on the bottom frame of the firebox door opening. Then push the log
into the firebox using a poker or other suitable tool.
WARNING:
Be careful and keep children away when working around an open firebox
door. The refractory in the firebox and the steel surrounding the door are
VERY HOT
.
Always wear protective clothing, leather hearth gloves and eye protection whenever
working around an open firebox door.
4.
Observe the following tips when feeding the fire.
a.
If a fire is burning, let the wood load burn down as much as possible before refilling.
b.
Press the “SmokeGuard” button on the control pad before opening the firebox door to reduce if not
completely eliminate smoke escaping into the room.
c.
Do not attempt to put logs into the firebox that are larger in diameter than the width of the firebox
door. The firebox door surfaces are extremely hot and you risk severe burns.
d.
Do not throw logs into the firebox. Though the refractory is very strong and durable, a thrown log
may crack it. It can also cause ash and cinders to fly back into the room.
e.
Do not overfill the firebox. Logs should not reach higher than 2/3rds up the firebox door frame or
impede the flow of escaping gases at the top of the firebox.
f.
A small and intense fire is preferable to a large shouldering one to reduce the amount of ash and
creosote deposition.
5.
The burn time between loads
depends on the demand for heat in
your home and the energy content of
the wood burned. With a little
experience, you will get a good feel
for how often you need to reload the
furnace.
6.
If your firewood supply includes a
variety of wood species and moisture
content (durations of seasoning), you
will experience the best combustion
results by selecting wood for each
refueling guided by the refractory
temperature indicator lights on the
control panel. (See chart.)
Note: Temperature indicator lights on the control panel change
between water temperature (constant light) and refractory
temperature (flashing light) every 5 seconds.
