WARNING
• NEVER
use galvanized pipe in your flue connection - it produces poisonous gases when subjected to
extreme temperatures.
•
USE
only “Class A” Masonry or manufactured “Class A” All Fuel Chimney for your Model 300 to
prevent creosote accumulation..
•
INSPECT
flues periodically for structural integrity.
•
ALWAYS
leave the ash pan in your Model 300 during operation.
FORCED HOT AIR CIRCULATION
:
The plenum size of your Model 300 must not be reduced to less than 8" (eight inches) and must provide
a minimum of eighteen inches between the top of your Model 300 and the main trunk connection.
The furnace must maintain the following clearances to combustibles:
(all measurements are in inches)
Heat Plenum 18"; Chimney Connector 18"; Front 36"; Rear 31"; Side 18"; Main Furnace 12".
These tolerances are minimums and should be strictly adhered to because should a power outage occur,
a dangerous level of heat accumulation may develop.
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS:
We advise using only seasoned hard woods in your Model 300 rather than highly rosined wood such as
pine.
Firewood should be cut at least one full season prior to the time of its intended use. Firewood
should be stacked in order to provide a free flow of air between the logs, thus allowing more rapid
seasoning.
If wood is to be stored outside, it should be completely covered year round to protect it from
moisture and exposure to the elements.
WARNING
NEVER
fuel your Model 300 with wet, unseasoned wood or wood that has been exposed to a recent
rain or snowfall.
Burning wood with a high moisture content will cause a rapid accumulation of
hazardous creosote, which has been proven to be the most common cause of flue fires.
NEVER
burn plastics, any wood product containing glue, paraffin or those treated with chemical pre-
servatives in your Model 300.
The combustion of these substances may release harmful, toxic gases.
DANGER
Due to the risk of uncontrollable fire or explosion, DO NOT attempt to use gasoline, flammable liq-
uids, refuse oil or garbage as an agent of combustion in your Model 300.
PERFORMANCE OF MODEL 300:
Your new Model 300 is classified as having airtight construction. This type of design should enable
you to experience an average fire time of between six and eight hours per full load of fuel. However,
abnormally cold weather may reduce the fire time somewhat; therefore, if your fire cycle is signifi-
cantly less, for instance two to four hours, you are over-firing your Model 300. This type of occurrence
is usually symptomatic of heat demands in excess of furnace capacity. Contact an authorized profes-
sional to determine if your Model 300 has been improperly sized for your home
