HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual
46
When you burn in cycles, you rarely need to open the furnace’s loading door while the
wood is burning. This is an advantage because there is more chance that smoke will leak
from the furnace when the door is opened as a full fire is burning. This is especially true if
the chimney connector has 90 degree elbows and if the chimney runs up the outside wall
of the house.
IF YOU MUST OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE FUEL IS FLAMING, OPEN THE AIR CONTROL
FULLY FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN UNLATCH AND OPEN THE DOOR SLOWLY.
IMPORTANT
WHEN RELOADING, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE AIR INLETS LOCATED AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE DOOR INSIDE THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER FREE OF ASH.
OPENING PROCEDURE FOR THE LOADING DOOR
TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF SMOKE SPILLAGE, CRACK THE DOOR OPEN ABOUT
AN INCH (25 MM) AND WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE OPENING IT WIDE TO
ALLOW STABILISATION OF THE PRESSURE INSIDE THE FURNACE.
8.3.2 Raking charcoal
Rekindle the fire when you notice that the room temperature has fallen. Do not operate
your furnace at too low a setting. Keep the air inlet opened long enough during the fire
start-up to prevent the fire from smouldering, which could stain the glass. You will find
most of the remaining charcoal at the back of the firebox, furthest from the door. Rake
these coals towards the door before loading. There are two reasons for this raking of the
coals. First, it concentrates them near where most of the combustion air enters the firebox
and where they can ignite the new load quickly, and second, the charcoal will not be
smothered by the new load of wood. If you were to simply spread the charcoal out, the
new load will smoulder for a long time before igniting.
Remove ash first, and then rake charcoal towards the front of the firebox before loading so
that it will ignite the new load.
8.3.3 Firing each new hot load
Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal, and not too close to the glass.
Close the door and open the air control fully. Leave the air control fully open until the
firebox is full of flames, the wood has charred to black and its edges are glowing red. Firing
each load of wood hot accomplishes a few things:
