SCF - REVOLUTION MAINTENANCE
NOTE: WHEN YOU FIRST OPERATE YOUR FURNACE, CHECK TO
DETERMINE THE NEEDED CLEANING FREQUENCY. THE FURNACE
REQUIRES A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE. REQUIRED
MAINTENANCE DEPENDS LARGELY UPON THE QUALITY OF
CORN/PELLETS BURNED AND THE RATE OF BURN. THE AMOUNT OF
DAILY MAINTENANCE WILL INCREASE IF FUEL QUALITY DECREASES
AND/OR THE BURNING RATE OF CORN/PELLETS INCREASES.
NOTE: FAILURE TO KEEP YOUR FURNACE CLEAN, AS DESCRIBED IN
THIS MANUAL, COULD RESULT IN POOR OPERATION, INEFFICIENT
FUEL USAGE AND A POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD! IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/USER TO DETERMINE THE NEEDED
MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY.
CAUTION: THE DOOR AND FRONT PART OF THE FURNACE WILL BE
HOT. DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE FURNACE THAT IS HOT!
Daily Maintenance
1.
The ash pan.
Make sure the Ashpan is not too full. If the Ashpan is too full, the
Ash may not be dumped from the Revolution Pot when it runs a cleaning cycle.
2.
The Tube Scraper.
Pull the Tube Scraper back and forth a couple of times to
keep the tubes clean. If the Tube Scraper feels sticky and difficult to move, check
for the presence of creosote on the tubes. If creosote is present a damper
adjustment may be needed or the Furnace has become plugged and needs a
thorough cleaning. Call Dealer for assistance.
(See Figure 1 on Page 6 for the
location of the Tube Scraper Rods).
3.
Clean the Viewing Glass.
Use a dry paper towel to clean the glass. Quickly open
the door and wipe the glass. The rate of burn will determine how often the
window needs cleaning. Prolonged burning at a slow burn rate will result in the
need for more frequent window cleaning. Cooling the Furnace and wiping the
window daily with a cloth or paper towel will normally keep the window from
accumulating difficult to clean residue. Use of a glass cleaner ONLY permitted
when the Furnace is cold.
CAUTION:
Do not slam the door. Do not operate the Furnace with a broken or
cracked glass. Replace only with heat resistant ceramic glass supplied by the
manufacturer.
