Once you have met local requirements governing the installation and positioning of the furnace, install the Electrical Control Kit. Open
the Electrical Control Kit and confirm that all items were shipped with your SF3042. IMPORTANT: ENSURE THE POWER CORD IS
PLUGGED INTO A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. Do NOT connect the furnace to your ductwork at this time. Build a small fire
– DO NOT fill the firebox to full capacity during the initial firing. Your new furnace has a protective coating of oil or paint on the surface,
which could produce smoke or odors during the initial firing and will burn off. Allow adequate ventilation during this initial, break-in firing
to let any odors escape. This initial firing also allows the metals to cure. After successfully completing the initial firing, you are ready to
attach the hot air duct and cold air return to complete your installation. See diagram below.
You must install the wall thermostat for the furnace to operate. When the wall thermostat calls for heat, the draft motor will engage,
allowing combustion air to flow into the firebox. This causes a hotter fire, increasing the heat in the heat chamber. When the home
reaches the selected temperature on the wall thermostat, it will disengage the draft motor and the fire in the firebox will reduce to a low
burn until the thermostat calls for another heat cycle. The fan limit control is factory pre-set at 160° as the “ON” temperature setting and
100° as the “OFF” temperature setting. This means when the heat chamber reaches 160°, the blower will turn on; when the chamber
cools, the blower will turn off. This process is called a heating cycle.

BYPASS DAMPER:
The bypass damper has several purposes: starting the fire, improving the efficiency, and cleaning the chimney. When starting a fire
in the SF3042, you must pull the rod out, for a stronger draft during ignition. Once the fire has started, close the bypass, which allows
the secondary combustion chamber to engage, increasing the furnace’s operation to peak efficiency. If the bypass rod is not closed
during operation, the furnace’s efficiency will be greatly reduced, allowing the heat to escape up the chimney. Finally, when cleaning the
chimney, the rod must be pulled out to allow any build-up in the chimney to fall into the firebox.
THIS UNIT IS NOT TO BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE THAT SERVES ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
