HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual

• drives the surface moisture from the wood,
• creates a layer of char on the wood, which slows down its release of smoke,
•
heats the firebox components so they reflect heat back to the fire, and
• heat the chimney so it can produce strong, steady draft for the rest of the cycle.
DO NOT LEAVE THE FURNACE UNATTENDED WHILE A NEW LOAD IS BEING
FIRED HOT.
DO NOT OVERFIRE.
When you burn a new load of wood hot to heat up the wood, the furnace and the chimney,
the result will be a surge of heat from the furnace. This heat surge is welcome when the
room temperature is a little lower than desirable, but not welcome if the space is already
warm. Therefore, allow each load of wood to burn down so that the space begins to cool
off a little before loading.
8.3.4 Control of the air supply
Once the firewood, firebox and chimney are hot, you can close the air supply for a steady
burn.
If the flames get very small and almost disappear when you close the air, you have closed
the air too early, or your firewood is wetter than it should be. With good fuel and correct air
control use, the flames should slow down, but should stay large and steady, even as the
air supply is closed.
When the furnace is using a thermostat, it is the thermostat that controls the air inlet
damper. When the thermostat calls for heat, the damper opens and the combustion is
stirred up. When the furnace gets hot enough, the blower motor is activated.
The following figure shows the position of the air inlet damper (A) according to the position
of the air inlet damper switch (B).
