• Th
e 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 fi ll holes, the motor should be
oiled every 90 days with several drops of 30 wt. oil.
•
If exhaust or attic fans (or similar) are used, they MUST
NOT create a negative pressure inside the area or room
where the furnace is installed. Th
is will starve the furnace of
combustion air and will not function properly.
CAUTION: CLEANOUT OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER, FLUE
PIPE, CHIMNEY, AND DRAFT INDUCER IF USED, IS ESPE-
CIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END OF THE HEATING SEA-
SON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE SUMMER
MONTHS, CAUSED BY ACCUMULATIVE ASH.
NOTE: For further information on using your furnace safely,
obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection Association pub-
lication “Using Coal and Wood Stoves Safely.” NFPA NO. NW-
8-1974. Th
e address of the NFPA is 470 Atlantic Ave., Boston,
Massachusetts 02210.
IMPORTANT
Before installing and using your furnace, please read the follow-
ing pages thoroughly and carefully. If you follow the instructions,
your furnace will give you safe and more dependable service for
years to come.
•
First step: Check your local codes. Th
is installation must
comply with their rulings.
•
Determine if the installation will be as a Central or Supple-
mental Furnace.
•
Do Not install this furnace in a mobile home or trailer
•
Always have a smoke or ionization detector and a CO detec-
tor installed in your home.
•
To prevent injury or damage, do not allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the furnace to operate it.
• Th
is furnace must be installed ONLY in the prescribed
manner shown in illustrations 1, 2, or 3 under the Instal-
lation Examples in this manual. It is NEVER to be installed
as a counter-fl ow or down-draft furnace, or in any manner
wherein the heated air is directed in a downward fl ow into
the home or toward to an existing central furnace.
•
NEVER INSTALL outside the home.
•
Spend adequate time with your furnace to become well ac-
quainted with the diff erent settings and how each will aff ect
its burning patterns. It is impossible to state just how each
setting will aff ect your furnace because of the variations in
each installation.
LOCATING YOUR FURNACE
Th
e furnace is to be installed maintaining the clearances speci-
fi ed in the following illustrations.
Do not place the furnace directly on a combustible fl oor. If you
are placing it on a combustible fl oor, an approved fi re retar-
dant material, equivalent to 3/8” UL Listed millboard, should
be placed under the unit. Th
e material must extend at least 16
inches beyond the front of the unit and 8 inches on either side of
the fuel loading door opening. It must also extend underneath
the chimney connector and to each side of the connector by at
least 2 inches.
CLEARANCES
REDUCED CLEARANCES
NFPA guidelines and most codes permit reduced clearances to
combustible walls and ceilings if adequate protection is added.
A common mistake is to assume that sheet metal, masonry, or
millboard placed directly against a wall protects it. Materials
installed in this manner actually provides very little protection.
Th
ese materials are good heat conductors, so they will be almost
as hot on their back side as they are on the exposed side. Th
ere-
fore, the combustible wall behind is still a fi re hazard.
A wall can be kept cool using these items but only if they are
mounted and spaced out from the wall by an inch or two to allow
free air circulation behind the protective panel. Th
e protective
panel should also have a gap between the fl oor and ceiling.
Th
ree rules to follow when constructing wall protectors:
1. Non-combustibility of all materials including mounting and
supporting.
2. A well ventilated air space between protector and wall.
3. Suffi
cient strength and rigidity so that the protector and air
space will be durable.
CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
A fi reclay lined masonry or Class A 103HT All-Fuel Metal Insu-
lated Chimney must be used in all airtight wood furnace instal-
lations. Th
e minimum recommended fl ue size for this furnace
is 6 inches, inside diameter. When making new chimney instal-
lations, always follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
Keep chimney clean and in good condition.
If at all possible, use the factory built, class A 103HT chimney
