!
The furnace is designed to burn air dried wood and coal at a
predetermined firing rate. Over firing could result in damage
to the heat exchanger and cause dangerous operation. Over
firing occurs when the ash door is left open during operation
or a highly volatile fuel, i.e. large amounts of small kindling, is
used.
!
When tending the firebox always pull the baffle slide rod out
prior to opening load door. Open load door slowly to avoid a
"flash back". After closing load door, push the baffle slide rod
to the rear.
!
Equip your home with fire extinguishers and smoke detectors
appropriately located.
!
Oil motor on forced air draft every 90 days with a few drops of
30 wt. oil.
!
Check the fit on the load door. It must fit tightly. If it does not,
check for deterioration or wear of the ceramic rope seal.
Replace defective seals.
!
Inspect and clean your chimney and stove pipe regularly.
!
In event of chimney fire, shut all draft controls and call your
fire department immediately. Alert everyone in the house. If
the fire is still burning vigorously, throw baking soda into firebox
or discharge a fire extinguisher into the firebox. After chimney
fire is over, completely inspect system for damage before
further use.
!
Slow fires: It is not recommended burning the U.S. Stove
furnace any more than necessary early in the fall and late
spring, as you cannot keep the firebox hot enough (without
overheating your home) to burn gases. Slow fires can cause
excessive creosote build-up in smoke pipe, chimney and
firebox.
!
Wood should be placed directly onto the cast iron shaker grate
of the U.S. Stove furnace. Do not use additional grates and/or
irons.
!
In the event of a power failure, you may operate the 1600/1800
furnace provided the following instructions are followed:
1. Any air filter should be removed.
2. If the motorized natural draft is used, the draft cap is to be
set at a 1/2 inch opening. If the forced air draft is used, the
damper on the built-in draft regulator will automatically
open to the preset factory spacing.
3. Do not burn garbage, plastics, gasoline, drain oil or other
flammable liquids. Plastics, when burned, form hydrofluo-
ric and hydrochloric acids which will damage and destroy
your furnace pipe and chimney. The burning of trash or oil
can result in an extremely hot fire and is sometimes a
cause of chimney fires.

Do not store fuel or other combustible material within marked
installation clearances.
