THIS IS A COAL ONLY BURNING FURNACE AND SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED IN ANY
WAY! DOING SO WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
3. Improper firing methods for coal being used.
4. More combustion air needed.
5. Coal not sized to the furnace. We recommend 1” to 3” di-
ameter pieces of coal.
6. Ashes, if allowed to accumulate in the ash pit, will not al-
low the passage of required air for combustion. Keep ash
pit clean.
7.
This furnace is not to be used with an automatic stoker un
-
less so certified.
•
There are ONLY two types of coal allowed for use in this
furnace: Bituminous Coal (soft coal) and Anthracite Coal
(hard coal). NEVER USE Cannel (or Channel) coal or
Brown (Lignite) Coal.
• See our Bulletin RC454 at the rear of this manual for the
best information available on burning coal.
•
Do not over draft the furnace! It is designed to operate at .06
inches of water column and must be set with a draft gauge
to maintain a steady draft. (Barometric Damper recom
-
mended.)
OPERATING NOTES
• Do not allow ashes to build up higher than 2” above grates.
•
Never allow the ashes in the ash pan touch the grate section.
REMOVE ASHES FREQUENTLY!
• Be extremely careful when removing furnace ash pan; it can
get very hot.
•
With new steel, there is a small amount of oil or dirt on the
metal. You may smell an odor. This is normal during the
first operation. You may want to assemble the furnace out of
doors and build a small fire in it to “burn off” this dirt and
oil before installing the unit.
•
The furnace is designed to burn coal at a predetermined fir-
ing rate. Over firing could result in damage to the heat ex
-
changer 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. If
any portion of the connector pipe glows orange or red, you
are in an over-firing situation. Close all dampers.
• 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 detec
-
tors appropriately located.
• Inspect air filters regularly. The air filter in the filter box
should be changed at least every 30 days.
•
Oil motor on forced air draft every 90 days with a few drops
of 30 wt. oil.
•
The distribution blower motors may be one of two types. If
the motor has sealed bearings, no oiling is required.
•
If the motor is equipped with fill holes, the motor should be
oiled every 90 days with several 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 dis
-
charge a fire extinguisher into the firebox. After chimney fire is
over, completely inspect system for damage before further use.
•
NEVER throw water on the fire or at the furnace, as rapidly ex
-
panding steam could result in a severe scalding.
•
Slow fires: It is not recommended burning the Clayton furnace any
more than necessary early in the fall and late spring, as you can-
not 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 furnace. Do not use additional grates and/or irons.
•
In the event of a power failure, you may operate the 1602/1802
furnace provided the following instructions are followed:
1. Any air filter should be removed.
2.
Observe the furnace operation closely and often till power is re-
stored.
•
Do not burn garbage, plastics, gasoline, drain oil or other flam-
mable liquids. Plastics, when burned, form hydrofluoric and hy
-
drochloric 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. NEVER BURN
GREEN WOOD OR TIRES.
•
Do not store fuel or other combustible material within marked in
-
stallation clearances.
NOTE: For further information on using your furnace safely, obtain
a copy of the National Fire Protection Association publication “Using
Coal and Wood Stoves Safely.” NFPA NO. NW-8-1974. The address of
the NFPA is 470 Atlantic Ave., Boston, Massachusetts 02210.
TAMPER WARNING
This coal heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate
that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter
this setting or otherwise operate this coal heater in a manner
inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective
method of determining how efficiently the combustion process
is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of un
-
burned fuel and moisture leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the
air settings of your specific unit to produce the smallest amount
of visible smoke.
