Unit Assembly
1. Remove the protective plastic coating
from the cabinetry of the unit.
2. Cast Iron End Plates. Position front and
rear cast iron end plates in firebox. The
type of fuel (wood or coal) you primarily
burn will determine how to locate the end
plates.
The words, “Wood” and “Coal,” are cast
into the end plate on opposite sides. If
you are going to burn wood, position end
plate with the word, “Wood,” facing out,
not into the firebox. If you are going to
primarily burn coal, position end plate
with the word, “Coal,” facing out. The
purpose of proper location is to introduce
the precise amount of combustion air into
the firebox to promote the most efficient
combustion for either fuel.
3. Firebrick. Position 6 firebricks for Model
480EK, or 5 firebricks for Model 360EK,
standing up on end on the left and right
side.
4. Control Box. Mount the 3-speed switch
control box on lower left side of furnace.
Four holes are pre-punched.
5. Fan Limit Control. Remove the cover of
the fan limit control by grasping the cover
at the top and bottom and pull outward.
(Grasping the cover by its side will make
removal more difficult.)
Attach the control directly above the
control box into the pre-punched holes
using the screws provided.
Set Pointers. Hold dial securely with
one hand and move the pointers with the
other hand. Do not force the pointers
past any stops on the dial even though
the dial may be graduated beyond the
stops.
Limit. Move the right hand pointer so
that its straight edge indicates the
temperature at which the contacts should
open. The limit pointer should never be
set any higher than the setting
recommended by the furnace
manufacturer.
Fan. Move the “Fan On” pointer so that
its straight edge indicates the
temperature at which the fan contacts
should close to start the blower. Move
the “Fan Off” pointer so that its straight
edge indicates the temperature at which
the fan contacts should open to stop the
blower.
6.
Draft Blower or Tube. Mount forced
draft blower or natural draft tube on
front lower left side of ash pit door.
7.
Circulation Blower. Mount circulation
blower on rear of the furnace using the
four bolts supplied.
8.
Return Air. Determine whether your
return air will enter on the left or right
side of the furnace. Assemble the
optional filter box and mount on furnace
(see Assembly Schematic on page 11).
Normal fan limit settings are
140º ON
95º OFF
For adjustment of these settings,
see drawing.
9. Wiring. Your Energy King is all pre-
wired except for the circulation blower on
the rear of your furnace. Once the blower
and filter box are mounted on your
furnace, simply run conduit through the
hole on the filter box. Next, wire the four
lead wires onto the four spade
connectors in the junction box by
matching colors of wire and following the
applicable wiring diagram.
