Loading Wood into the HEATMOR™
It is very important to fully educate all those who will be loading the furnace with wood.
Loading a large amount of wood into the HEATMOR™ furnace once a day
is not always
best
. We have found that you have a more efficient fire and produce less smoke when you
add fuel twice a day.
Example:
Half of the days’ demand in the morning and half in the
evening. The number of loadings and the amount of wood needed will vary depending on
the amount of heat being removed.
Here are some suggested points to assist you in loading your furnace.
1) Make sure you have your fuel readily available to fill your furnace. (i.e. a
wheelbarrow full of wood
near
the furnace)
2) Maintain a clear, clean area in front of the furnace.
3) Open the outer front door. This allows you access to the inner firebox door as well as
activating the AFS. This forces air into the firebox to decrease the
possibility of the exhaust igniting and creating a “flash back” before you open the
main firebox door.
4) Turn on the light switch. The light should turn on and the combustion air blowers
should turn off if they were operating correctly.
5) Standing to the right, next to the exterior door,
with your left hand and your left
arm outstretched,
move the fire box door handle out of the safety latch.
6) Crack the firebox door open about two inches and allow any pressure
left over in the firebox to escape.
7) Open the firebox door as you step backwards towards the exterior door. This allows
you to be out of the way if there is a “flash back” or exhaust exiting the door opening.
8) Set the firebox door handle into the holder provided on the outer door.
9) After all exhaust has been eliminated, give the ashes over the grates a light stirring
with a long rake.
10) Add the necessary fuel to the firebox, being careful not to push ashes into the air
boxes.
11) Close the firebox door and latch securely.
12) Turn off the light switch. This will return power to the blowers and turn off the light.
13) Close and lock the exterior door.
