during Heating season
1. Establish a daily routine for storage of fuel and care
of the furnace. Check frequently for crusted ash
buildup until experience shows how often cleaning
is necessary. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the
less creosote, and that weekly cleanings may be
necessary in mild weather, even though monthly
cleanings may be enough in the coldest months.
Have a clearly understood plan in place in the event
of a chimney fire.
2. The secondary burn chamber must be cleaned out
bi-weekly as necessary. Ensure that the ash clean
out door is securely closed after each cleaning.
Place ashes in a steel container with a tightly fitting
lid. Other waste should not be placed in the container
with the ashes.
3. Check the water level daily, ensure the level is well
above the “ADD” mark.
Oxygen buildup causes corrosion inside the water
system. Keeping the water reservoir completely full
avoids oxygen buildup, especially during the summer
months when the furnace is not in use.
4. Check the door and lid gaskets to ensure an air tight
fit. Adjust hinges and latch as needed.
5. Check and clean the heat exchanger flues several
times per season. A buildup in the flues and chimney
will cause a poor draft and reduce efficiency (see pg
19).
6. Cover plates and guards must be in place at all times,
except during maintenance and servicing.
7. Rear access cover must be secured with screw.
Tighten with a wrench.
8. All doors must be closed during operation.
end of Heating season
1. Thoroughly clean the exhaust area, secondary burn
chamber, and flues of any loose or crusted ash
buildup. Crusted ashes are easier to remove when
furnace is still warm. Note: a thin black coating in the
firebox is acceptable, but ensure that there is no ash
in contact with bare metal.
2. Check for damaged brick and replace as necessary.
Contact your dealer for replacement brick.
3. Check to ensure there is no moisture in any part of
the inside of the firebox, secondary burn chamber,
or exhaust area. Apply a thin film of oil in the flue
area and exhaust area.
4. Chimney must have a rain cap.
Failing to properly clean the furnace and protect it
from moisture during the off-season will void the
warranty.
5. do not run the furnace in the summer months when
the load demand is very low (ie., only domestic hot
water is being heated.)
6. Ensure the water reservoir is full during the non-
heating season to prevent corrosion inside the water
jacket.
7. Add the correct amount (as indicated on water
treatment bottle) of Northland Distributing approved
water treatment to the water system each year after
the heating season. Operate the water circulating
pump for 24 hours after adding water treatment to
ensure proper mixing of the water treatment with
the water.
8. Draw a water sample once a year and forward to a
certified lab. Contact your dealer for details.
Water properly treated with Northland Distributing
approved water treatment should have a ph level
between 9.1 and 10.7, a nitrate level between 730
and 1460 ppms as NaNO2, and a conductivity must
be less than or equal to 4000 mmhos.
If the pH or nitrite level is low, more Northland
Distributing approved water treatment should be
added. If the level of conductivity is too high, 1/2
the water in the unit should be drained and replaced
with fresh water.
Failing to use northland distributing approved
water treatment in accordance with the
installation and operation instruction Manual will
void the warranty. see your dealer for authorized
supplies. it is the responsibility of the owner to
maintain yearly water sample results on file.
