Your HOTBLAST Furnace is designed to be a supplemental or
central heating source for your home. This Solid Fuel Furnace
may be installed in conjunction with a properly operating
central furnace that is listed or certified in accordance with
nationally recognized safety standards and equipped with
the required controls and other safety features and which
has been installed in accordance with appropriate standards
of the National Fire Protection Association with installation
clearances specified in the furnace nameplate marking. The
installation must be accomplished by a qualified agency (one
who is engaged in, and is responsible for, or is thoroughly
familiar with the installation and operation of the gas, oil, and
solid fuel burning heating appliances, who is experienced in
such work, familiar with all the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction.) The installation shall be in strict accordance
with the manufacturer's installation instructions furnished with
the solid fuel furnace.
The chimney connector of the furnace is to be installed to
provide clearances to combustible material not less than
specified in the individual classifications and marked on the
furnace. The chimney connector must be connected to a
chimney suitable for use with residential type or building
heating appliances which burn solid fuel.
The Furnace is designed to operate in either parallel or series
air flow arrangement with the central furnace or as a central
furnace.
CENTRAL FURNACE INSTALLATION
As a central furnace, the unit functions independently of any
other system. The blower will come on when the plenum
temperature reaches the setting on the blower control.
PARALLEL INSTALLATION (U.S. ONLY)
The design is such that when the blower comes on, the blower
on the central system also comes on. The blower will only
come on when the temperature in the plenum has reached
the setting on the blower control. This is to insure that there
is sufficient warm air in the system to make it efficient for the
unit to operate. When the central system thermostat calls for
heat, the central system will operate by the burner igniting
and the blower coming on. It is possible that both systems
will operate simultaneously. It is recommended that for the
most efficient use of your HOTBLAST Furnace, that it be fired
as much as possible in order to reduce the demand on your
existing central heating system. This unit has an optional
forced draft kit that operates from a wall thermostat. When
the temperature falls below the setting on the wall thermostat,
the forced draft will come on (U.S. Stove Option 11/DIKL)
The warm air supply outlet of the HOTBLAST Furnace shall
not be connected to the cold air return of the central furnace,
because the possibility exists of components of the central
furnace overheating and causing the central furnace to operate
other than is intended.
SERIES INSTALLATION
This type of installation uses only the blowers of the existing
central furnace. The solid fuel fan/limit control must also
control the functions of the existing furnace. All electrical
power must come from a single branch circuit.
