POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, remove the blower access door and air filters. The draft fan will be off, so if
more combustion air is needed for the wood fire, open the slide plate damper in the firedoor. This damper must
be closed when power is restored.
DO NOT CHARGE the firebox higher than half way up the liner as overheating may result.
FUEL
Seasoned cord wood will give the most heat. Your furnace will burn most any type of firewood. Seasoned
hardwood produces more heat, and will hold a fire longer, leaving a hotter coal bed than seasoned softwood.
Coal should never be used in a heater designed for burning wood. Never use driftwood that has been in salt
water. The salt content will cause corrosion that will destroy stainless steel lined chimneys, flue connectors and
the firebox.
Hard wood cut to 19” maximum length, and split 4” to 10” cross section is recommended for best operating
efficiency.
LOADING OF FUEL
Do not overfill the firebox above the firebrick. A burned-out heat chamber may result. Do not use artificial or wax
logs. Build fire on the floor of the firebox. Do not use additional grates or andirons to support the fire as these may
create excessive heat.
PREPARATION AND STORAGE OF FUEL
Solid fuel should be cut and split prior to the heating season and stored in a well, aired dry place. Do not store
fuel within the room heater clearances or within the space required for fueling or ash removal. Fuel should be
kept at least 5ft clear (1.5m) from the furnace. The space around the furnace should be kept free of litter and
wood residue.
REFUELING
The loading door should be closed at all times except when refueling. Before opening the loading door, make
sure the thermostat is turned up and the draft fan on. Allow the fire to burn rather briskly for a few minutes.
Then open the loading door slowly. By allowing the fire to increase for a short period, a high draft condition has
eliminated smoke in the firebox and the temperature has been raised which prevents a back or down draft.
CAUTION:
Do not operate furnace with the loading door open. Continuous operation with a door open will
cause severe overheating and warping. This furnace is designed for Thermostatic operation.
CAUTION: Burn untreated firewood only. Wood containing preservative, metal foils, coal, plastic, garbage,
sulfur or oil is environmentally hazardous and will damage the appliance.
