1.8 Electrical Power Failure
If no one is home during a power failure, the damper will automatically close and
some gravity heating will take place. Combustion air will continue to enter
through the secondary air holes and a fire should be maintained.
IMPORTANT
– This furnace is CSA certified for operation under Power Failure
only if the following procedure is followed.
For optimum heating during a power failure follow the procedure listed below:
(1)
Manually open the blower compartment access door of the wood
furnace to allow gravity flowing air to all areas. (Check with your
installer)
(2)
Place a coin under the damper flap in such a way that it will fall
clear when power is restored.
(3)
Maintain a careful watch on the furnace temperature. If it should
exceed 200º F (95º C) close the damper door.
(4)
Do not leave the furnace unattended in this position.
(5)
Refuel frequently with small load to maintain a small fire at ½
normal maximum volume.
(6)
Do not expect to maintain maximum comfort under no power
conditions.
(7)
Do not allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the operation of the
furnace to attend it during a power failure.
