Congratulations on your purchase of an Energy King solid fuel heating appliance. Your Furnace is 
designed for a lifetime of durable, reliable performance and easy operation. This manual describes 
the installation, operation and maintenance of your Energy King Wood or Coal Furnace. 
 
Energy King’s Furnace has been designed to use independently or as an add-on to an existing 
heating system. The installation of any furnace 

is not

 a do-it-yourself project. To ensure the Furnace 

will operate safely and efficiently, the 

installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

 With 

proper installation and maintenance, your Furnace will give you years of trouble free service. Energy 
King’s Furnace is designed to burn Air-Dried Hardwood, Anthracite or Bituminous Coal. 
 
If your Furnace is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the 
manufacturer’s installation instructions. This Furnace maintains high temperatures when in use. Keep 
combustible materials – such as clothing, paper, and furnishings – clear of the Furnace. Warn 
children of the Furnace’s high temperature. 
 
This Furnace is in compliance with UL 391 test standards. 
 
Prior to installation, inspect your chimney to ensure it is in good condition and free of cracks. Contact 
local building and fire officials regarding restrictions and installation inspection requirements for your 
area. You also need to determine if you are required to obtain a permit from your local governing 
authority.
