It is a good idea to burn your stove hot for at
least ½ to ¾ of an hour each day to help limit
the buildup of creosote in the stovepipe.
If you have a metal chimney, tap it from time to
time and listen for a loose rattling. If audible,
this sound indicates that creosote is building up.
Adding a handful of rock salt to a hot fire will
help to discourage the formation of creosote
The boiler door should be opened slowly at first
to prevent a large volume of air from rushing
into the stove. This will prevent back-puffing of
smoke into the room.
Inspect the chimney from time to time and clean
it when necessary.
BAFFLE: A ceramic board is attached to the
baffle to create a high-temperature zone. This is
a wearable item that you need to be careful not
to scrape wood against causing it to score,
which would lessen efficiency and promote
warping of the baffle. The baffle can be slid
back and forth from the outside to make a more
direct route for the smoke to travel out of the
firebox when you open the door to load the
boiler. Our baffles are not welded into place, so
they can be easily replaced if necessary.
C055 WITH OIL
AUTO SWITCHOVER
WOOD - This position will keep the boiler in
wood mode operation only. The oil Burner will
never run in this setting.
AUTO - If the boiler operating temperature is
achieved in wood mode, turn mode switch to
AUTO, and then turn MAIN switch off and
back on to set this operation. The boiler will
remain in WOOD operation until the water
temperature falls to the switchover set point
(usually 160°). At this point, the boiler will
switch to OIL mode automatically and remain
in OIL mode until the switch is turned back to
WOOD.
Operating Sequence for Auto Mode

In wood mode – bring boiler to
operating temp 180° – 190°

Turn MODE switch to AUTO

Turn MAIN switch off then on

Boiler is set for Auto switchover
OIL - This position is for oil burner operation
only.
CONDITIONING OF BOILER WATER
Proper treatment of make up water and boiler
water are necessary to prevent scale or other
deposits and corrosion within the boiler. The
absence of adequate external and internal
treatments can lead to operation upsets or total
boiler failure. Where a choice is available,
pretreatment of the water externally to the boiler
is always preferred and more reliable than
treatment within the boiler.
Instructions for feed water treatment as prepared
by a competent feed water chemist should be
followed. Do not experiment with homemade
treatment methods or compounds.
Representative samples of feed water and boiler
water need to be analyzed frequently to ensure
that they are in specification. The following
terms and guidelines are to be used in
conjunction with the advice of a water treatment
specialist.
Ph
The Ph value of your boiler water is a number
between zero and fourteen. Values below seven
are acidic while values above seven are basic.
The Ph factor is the most important factor
influencing scale forming or the corrosive
tendencies of boiler water. It should be adjusted
to between a minimum of 10.5 and a maximum
of 11.0 to prevent acidic corrosion of boiler
tubes and plates and to provide for the
precipitation of scale forming salts.
Below a Ph of 5.0 the water is acidic enough to
dissolve the steel boiler plates. Under these
conditions the steel gradually becomes thinner
and thinner until it is destroyed. At a Ph
between 5 and 9.4 pitting of steel plates will
occur at a rate dependant upon the amount of
dissolved oxygen in the boiler.
