FAN OPERATION
Th
e blower will be turning on and off automatically based on the heat output off the wood furnace. At 155°F in
the plenum the fan will turn on and at 105°F it will turn off .
If the fan turns on regularly in standby mode (no call for heat) adjust the low output so less heat will be produced
at low (see “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 22,
Fig. 25
).
PLEASE NOTE: Th
e limit /safety switches have an auto / manual switch. Normal operation is set to AUTO.
CONTROL SYSTEM - SUMMER FAN / AUTO
A manual fan switch has been added to the fan speed / limit control located on the
furnace plenum. Th
is will provide air circulation during the summer time when the
furnace is not being used.
DO NOT HAVE THE SWITCH ON “MAN” ANYTIME A FIRE IS GOING.
OPERATING SOUNDS AND SMELLS
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal
and to be expected. When fi rst installed, the furnace brick and metal are cold and must become hot before the
appliance will function well. During the break-in period (the fi rst 2 or 3 fi res) create only small, hot fi res using
kindling; this will allow the cast liners to cure. Th
e paint may also smell a little for the fi rst few fi res as it cures
and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell. Th
ere are many diff erent ways to start a fi re,
review the hints and warnings in this section to ensure the fi re is started properly.
