GENERAL FURNACE OPERATION

When you start a

re in the furnace and it reaches operat-

ing temperature, the blower(s) will come on automatically.
The snap-disc is adjustable from 100°F(A) to 140°F(E),
Each click on the switch is approximately 5°F. It comes
from the factory, set at 120°F, setting C. The rocker switch
on the top of the junction box gives you the option to run
one blower or two. If the switch is ON, both blowers will
come on when the snap-disc reaches the set temperature.
If the switch is OFF, only one blower will operate. When
the furnace temperature drops approximately 20°F below
the snap-disc setting, the blower(s) will shut off.

STARTING A WOOD FIRE

The top down method of

re building is recommended for

this appliance. After making sure that the stove air intake
controls are fully open (completely pull-out towards you),
Place the largest pieces of wood on the bottom, laid in
parallel and close together. Smaller pieces are placed in
a second layer, crossways to the

rst. A third layer of still

smaller pieces is laid crossways to the second, this time
with some spaces between. Then a fourth layer of loose,
small kindling and twisted newspaper sheets tops off the
pile.
Higher ef

ciencies and lower emissions generally result

when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as com-
pared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
DO NOT BURN:
1. Garbage;
2.  Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3.  Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4.  Materials containing plastic;
5.  Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or

asphalt products;

6.  Materials containing asbestos;
7.  Construction or demolition debris;
8.  Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9.  Manure or animal remains;

10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water sat-

urated materials;

11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.

The prohibition against burning these materials does
not prohibit the use of

re starters made from paper,

cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for
the purpose of starting a

re in an affected wood heat-

er.

Burning these materials may result in release of toxic
fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
Dead wood lying on the forest

oor should be considered

wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood
can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Split-
ting and stacking wood before it is stored accelerates dry-
ing time. Storing wood on an elevated surface from the
ground and under a cover or covered area from rain or
snow also accelerates drying time. A good indicator if
wood is ready to burn is to check the piece ends. If there
are cracks radiating in all directions from the center then
the wood should be dry enough to burn. If your wood siz-
zles in the

re, even though the surface is dry, it may not

be fully cured, and should be seasoned longer.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter

uid, or similar liquids to start or

“freshen up” a

re in the furnace. Keep all such liquids well

away from the furnace while it is in use.
CAUTION: To prevent

ame and smoke spillage, the slide

baf

e must be pulled out and the fuel door must be cracked

for ten seconds before being fully opened.
Do not over

re your furnace! After you have become fa-

miliar with its operating, you should know how much wood
to use.
1. Open spin draft cap on ash door.
2. Pull the slide baf
