ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 

 

The Portage & Main Outdoor Water Furnace is factory-wired and is ready for connecting it to 

an AC/120V/60 Hertz supply 

 

ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SHALL BE WIRED ACCORDING TO APPLICABLE LOCAL 

CODES. 

 

Make sure outdoor water furnace (and metallic water lines, if used) is well grounded to avoid 
pitting in the water jacket. 

 

 
STARTING-UP 

 

Before starting-up observe the SAFETY WARNINGS contained in this Manual. 

 

Make sure the Outdoor Water Furnace, circulating loops and existing heat exchangers or 

baseboard heaters are full of water and properly vented. 

 

Ensure the circulating pump(s) is properly installed according to manufacturer’s instructions. 

Failure to do so could void the Warranty. 

 

Inspect the chimney and make sure it is clear from any obstructions. 

 

Start the fire with kindling and smaller split wood.  DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO 

START THE FIRE. Gradually add larger wood to develop an adequate bed of coals. Once a full 
coal bed has been developed, the fire may be charged to ultimately last until the next fill time 

when there will be a full coal bed to ensure that the added firewood will light

.

 Fill the furnace 

regularly to match heat load. Do not overfill your furnace.  Put in just enough wood to 
maintain temperature until the next fill time usually 12 hours. 

 

Always turn the power off before loading the appliance with wood or opening the firing door. 
Keep firing and ash pit doors tightly closed at all times for safety when outdoor water furnace 

is in use. 

 

Set the aquastat to the highest temperature setting on the dial (180 

F) as described under 

SETTING. When the water temperature reaches this set point, the control will turn the 
combustion fan off to close the air damper at the bottom of the outdoor water furnace.  
When the combustion fan is shut down, turn the setting dial to a range of 175 

F to 185

F. 

Now turn the circulating pump(s) on and leave it on at all times. (180

F is ideal operating 

temp 175

F to 185

F are also good; even as high as 195

F would be good if required-Consult 

with your Portage & Main Furnace Dealer for more info.

 

 

 

Before leaving the Outdoor Water Furnace location, make sure that: 

1.

 

The water level is adequate. 

2.

 

The wood loading door is tightly closed. 

3.

 

The ash pan door is tightly closed. 

4.

 

The area around the outdoor water furnace is clear from any combustible materials. 

 

SETTING 

The Portage & Main Outdoor Water Furnace is equipped with a digital display immersion type 
aquastat controller which operates in response to water temperature changes. 
 

To set the temperature at the desired level, go to page 17-19 of this manual.
