Power Failure:
In case of power failure, to prevent your Fire Chief Furnace from over-heating and causing damage to the electrical components, follow
these steps:
• Ensure that the bypass rod is pulled out, allowing heat to go up the chimney.
• Close the spin damper control on the ash drawer.
• Close the slide cover on the side of the draft motor.
• Do NOT add more fuel (coal or wood) to the firebox.
There is no warranty on electrical components damaged due to power failure.
CAUTION:
• INSPECT FLUE PIPES, FIREBOX, STOVE PIPE, CHIMNEY AND DRAFT BLOWER JOINTS AND SEALS REGULARLY TO
ENSURE THAT SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWING INTO, AND CIRCULATED BY THE
AIR-CIRCULATION SYSTEM.
• CLEANING OF THE FIREBOX, STOVE PIPE, CHIMNEY AND DRAFT BLOWER (IF USED), IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
AT THE END OF THE HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS CAUSED BY
THE ACCUMULATED ASH.
• Do not use chemicals to start the fire.
• Do not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, engine oil, or other flammable liquids/inappropriate materials.
Maintaining
Your
Furnace:
At the beginning of each heating season, take time to thoroughly check your furnace and chimney system. Make sure there are no
leaks where the metal panels are joined or at the caulk lines. Should you find a leak, high-temp silicone will correct the problem. Check
the door for signs of rust. Should rust develop, lightly sand, with sandpaper or steel wool, the surface and follow up with black, high
temperature paint to keep the door looking new. Check the gaskets, if they are frayed and burnt, replace the gasket. Check the firebricks
for breakage or crumbling, and replace as needed. Check the chimney pipe for signs of creosote formation, if you find creosote,
thoroughly clean the chimney system replacing the chimney cap securely so rain or snow does not run down the chimney into the firebox.
If the cap is removed for any length of time when the furnace is not in use, cover the pipe so no moisture gets into the firebox. Check the
chimney cap for holes or loosened connections, replace and secure as necessary. Check the grates for signs of wear and replace as
needed. Check the heat duct and cold air return to be sure they have not become loose or been damaged. If so, tighten or replace as
needed. Check ductwork for any air leaks. Remove any accumulated ashes at the end of the season. By following these procedures,
your furnace will provide many years of trouble-free service.
