11.8.5. WOOD AS HEATING FUEL
ATTENTION
NE JAMAIS FAIRE BRÛLER DE DÉCHETS, DE LA GAZOLINE, DU NAPHTA, DE L’HUILE À MOTEUR
OU TOUT AUTRE PRODUIT SEMBLABLE.
We recommend that you burn dry hard wood only.
There are two important factors to be considered when choosing a type of wood: the moisture content and the wood
density. Hardwood, oak and beech for example, will provide better results because of the high density and minimal tar
produced during combustion. It is highly recommended to use wood that has been dried for at least six months.
DO NOT USE COAL AS HEATING FUEL IN THIS APPLIANCE.
Whenever a high rate of smoke is noticed in the room, you must:
1. Open doors and windows.
2. Make sure the furnace door is closed as well as the damper (if necessary, lower the thermostat starting point or
unhook the damper chain and close the barometric draft control manually).
3. When the furnace has cooled down, inspect the chimney to detect obstructions and consult a specialist to
determine the cause of the smoke spillage.
11.8.6. PROLONGED POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure (over 10 minutes), to reduce the risk of overheating, it is recommended to heat
moderately and to open the furnace filter compartment in order to facilitate air circulation by natural gravity around the
firebox of the Max Caddy wood furnace.
11.8.7. CHIMNEY FIRES
This might occur when the fire gets extremely hot. Burning cardboard, branches, or small pieces of wood can ignite
the creosote residue accumulated in the evacuation flue system. The usual signs are:
1. Rumbling.
2. The flue gets extremely hot (red).
3. Flames or sparks are coming out of the chimney.
4. In case of a chimney fire, call your local fire department immediately and sprinkle the roof around the chimney with
water.
Make sure that the furnace door is closed as well as the damper (if necessary, lower the thermostat starting point or
release the chain from the damper and close the barometric draft control manually).
If the fire gets uncontrollable due to an improper use or because the draft is too strong, follow the same procedure as
in a chimney fire except that you will have to
OPEN
the barometric draft control manually.
