Safe Practices
1. Use kindling, paper and smaller split wood when cold-starting the furnace. Once the furnace is up to
normal operating temperatures, carefully follow the procedures described later in this section for adding
more wood to the firebox.
2. DO NOT use chemicals or fluids to start the fire; do not burn garbage, gasoline, naptha, engine oil, or
other inappropriate materials.
3. Once your wood furnace is up to normal operating temperatures, burn large, un-split wood. If the wood
fits in the door and is not longer than the depth of the firebox, it will burn. Small pieces or finely split
wood will burn hot and make it more difficult to control cycling of the furnace. In addition, small pieces
of wood will reduce your burn times requiring more frequent loading.
4. DO NOT burn coal, treated lumber, trash, plastics or anything other than whole wood in this furnace or
risk voiding your warranty.
5. Observe the following procedure for opening the firebox door when the furnace is in operation. Failure
to follow this procedure may cause large volumes of smoke to back flow into the room.
a. Depress the SmokeGuard button on the control panel prior to opening the front door.
b. Unlatch the door and open it just 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) to allow the furnace air flow to adjust
to the new source of air.
c. After about 10 seconds, carefully open the door the rest of the way.
WARNING EXPLOSIVE GASES
Gasses formed during solid-fuel combustion may cause a heat flash when the furnace is refueled.
Always use your left hand to open the firebox door. Open the door slowly and keep your face and
body well away from the door until it is completely open.
6. BE CAREFUL when working around an open firebox door. The vermiculite attached to the firebox
door and the steel surrounding the firebox door are VERY HOT . Wear protective clothing, leather
hearth gloves and eye protection whenever you open the firebox door and stoke the fire.
7. DO NOT throw wood into the back wall of the firebox. Follow proper procedures when adding wood
to the fire: Carefully pick up the log and rest it length wise on the bottom frame of the firebox door
opening. Then push the log into the firebox using a poker or other suitable tool.
8. DO NOT jockey wood into the firebox that is longer than the depth of the firebox. The firebox door’s
inside surfaces are extremely hot and you risk severe burns.
9. DO NOT throw logs into the firebox. Though the refractory is very strong and durable, a thrown log
may crack it. A thrown log may also stir up ash and cinders that can fly back into the room.
10. DO NOT overfill the firebox. The wood pile should never rise higher than 2/3rds up the firebox door.
11. Keep the firebox door closed except when tending the fire.
12. Keep the furnace area clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids.
13. DO NOT let ash accumulate higher than 3 inches on the bottom of the firebox. Dispose of ashes in a
metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Do not place other materials in this container. Store the
container on a noncombustible surface, well away from all combustible materials. When cinders have
thoroughly cooled, bury the ashes or dispose of them in the garbage.
14. DO NOT store wood within the appliance installation clearances or within the space required for
fueling, ash removal, and other routine maintenance operations.
15. DO NOT allow anyone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol or is unfamiliar with the correct
