PROBLEM
12. Excessive dirt accumula-
tion surrounding air registers in
the home.
13. Home does not achieve
comfortable temperature.
14. Rapid accumulation of
creosote in furnace and flue.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Smoke discharge from
loading door during reloading
• Furnace is not connected to
return air duct and is drawing
dirt from furnace room floor and
disbursing through the home.
• Improper connection to
existing furnace.
• Improperly sized ducting.
• Excessive dirt accumulation
in air filter.
• Combustion chamber not re-
ceiving an adequate amount of
oxygen.
• Inadequate insulation in the
home.
• Your furnace is of inad-
equate size for you home.
• Fueling furnace with wet or
unseasoned wood.
SUGGESTED REMEDY
Always pull exhaust by-pass rod
completely forward before opening
loading door.
Connect to return air duct system.
Check for proper draft with gauge.
If inadequate see #8.
Refer to information in the manual
relating to the proper installation pro-
cedures or contact your local heating
and cooling contractor.
Refer to information in the manual
relating to proper ducting procedures
or consult your local heating and
cooling contractor.
Check and replace filter if neces-
sary.
Furnace room may be too airtight.
We recommend installing an aperture
to the outside consisting of a mini-
mum of twelve square inches or 4”
round.
Provide additional insulation.
Consult a professional heating and
cooling contractor to determine cor-
rect sizing.
Completely avoid using if at all pos-
sible. If circumstances necessitate the
use of wet or unseasoned wood, then
fuel the furnace with smaller loads.
This will call for the thermostat to call
for heat more often, which will ini-
tiate the running of the draft blower.
Consequently, the fires will be hot-
