Additional Warnings and Notices
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness
Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless,
odorless gas that is produced during combustion of
coal and other fuels. CO fumes are toxic and can be
fatal. Even though this furnace is designed to be as
safe as possible, it is important that you install a CO
detector.
is is true for oil, gas, or wood as well. CO
is not speci6cally heavier or lighter than air.
erefore, it is best to install the detector at table top
level rather than on the ceiling like a smoke detector.
CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an
alarm for fumes other than CO or CO from sources
other than the furnace such as car or lawn mower
exhaust. If the alarm sounds
1. Increase ventilation by opening windows or
doors.
2. Make sure the furnace doors are closed and
latched.
3. Check furnace for normal operation.
4. Check for false alarm.
5. Have all occupants exit the building until the
cause for the alarm is discovered and/or
remedied.
is appliance is also approved for installation into
a shop.
NEVER SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM WITH
ANY COAL BURNING HEATER!
Note: Freshly delivered coal is typically
watered down to minimize dust when
loading and unloading. Wet rice coal does
not flow as well as damp or dry coal, and
may bind or bridge in the hopper. We do not
recommend loading your hopper with wet
coal. If you must burn wet coal, the feed rate
will likely need increased, in order to get the
same size fire. As the wet coal in the hopper
dries out, the feed rate will need decreased
to avoid over-feeding. Using wet coal, in an
emergency, will likely not damage your
furnace as long as it is hot and burning at
the time. The damage is caused when the
hopper has wet coal in it when the furnace
is cold. This will cause rust and corrosion
which is considered neglect and will not be
covered by the product warranty.
Note: Always empty the hopper when not
burning for more than a week. When left
standing for long periods with wet coal, the
pusher block will rust and corrode, causing
it to seize. If the stoker is then turned “on”,
damage to the pusher assembly and feed
motor will result. This will be considered
neglect and will void the warranty on those
parts. Always check to see if moving parts
are free before using if the unit has not
been burned for a period of time. This can
best be determined by shaking the adjuster
rod.
