BURNING (CONT.)
BURNING COAL (CONT.)
REFUELING
1) Place FAN switch in OFF position.
2) Pull Smoke bypass damper rod out and wait one minute.
3) Open the fuel loading door slowly.
4) Pull the glowing coal to the front of the fi re box. Try not to disturb the fi re too much.
5) Add new coal to the back of the fi re box, being careful not to seal off the top. It is important to
leave a red spot of glowing coals visible after adding new coal to ensure that the fi re has not been
smothered.
6) After the new coal is well ignited add more coal to the front area that was left visible.
7) When refueling process is completed you should have a bed of coal even with the fi rebrick
at both sides of the fi re box and heaped to the center of the fi re box.
8) Close Fuel loading door.
9) Gently move the shaker grate handle. A few short movements are better than a long
movement of the Grate. The object is to remove a small amount of the ashes without disturbing the
fi re. The fi re should just be settled down about a half an inch or an inch in the fi re box until the fi rst
live coals start to fall. The fi re may go out if you shake it too much It is not necessary to sake down the
ashes each time you refuel.
10) Open the ash door. Insert the ash pan and scoop out ashes.
11) Empty ashes into a safe container. Do not store the ash pan in the unit during operation.
12) Ensure that the ash door is tightly closed.
13)Place FAN switch in ON position.
14) Push the smoke bypass damper rod in.
• The solid fuel furnace will maintain air temperature based on the fan limit control settings.
• Room temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the room.
• The loading door and ash removal door must tightly shut and the seals maintained in good condi-
tion during operation, otherwise overheating will occur.
