IMPORTANT:
1. Use only clean, filtered water in the Empyre
Elite XT. Add Pro-Fab approved water
treatment to the water to prevent corrosion
(available from your dealer). For amount of
treatment to add follow instructions on the
container.
First Fill
1. Attach a garden hose, with two female ends, from
the water supply to the drain (see pg 9 ). Turn on
the water and open drain valve.
2. Check all lines and connectors for leaks.
3.
Open the SUPPLY valve (see pg 9) at the furnace
and let water run for 2 minutes and then close it.
4. Now open the RETURN valve (see pg 9) at the furnace
and let water run for 2 minutes and then close it.
5. Repeat above procedure 3 to 4 times during filling
of the furnace. Alternating between lines will ensure
that most of the air is bled from the system.
6. When the level indicator shows ADD, shut the drain
valve, shut off water and disconnect the garden
hose. Note: hot water level is higher than cold
water level.
7.
Heat furnace to operating temperature (see ‘Starting
the Fire’ below). Check water level again.
8. Add Pro-Fab approved water treatment through
vent opening, Figure 1.
9. Check water level when water temperature is
170°F (77°C) and add water until level indicator
shows full.
maintaining proper Water level
When the water level is low, the Empyre Elite XT may be
filled or topped up through the vent opening, Figure 1.
starting the Fire in the Hot Water Furnace
Once the Empyre Elite XT has been properly installed, all
connections checked thoroughly and the water system
is filled to the proper level, the unit is ready for starting
a fire.
1. Switch blower on.
2. Place some dry split kindling in the centre of the
firebox, on top of some paper, and ignite.
3. Once the kindling begins to burn, add larger pieces
of wood until the fire burns briskly. Stir the fire until a
sufficient coal bed is obtained. Do not fill the firebox
of the furnace to capacity until the water in the
furnace is hot.
DO NOT USE THE DOOR AS A LEVER TO FORCE WOOD
INTO THE FIREBOX! PIECES OF WOOD SHOULD NOT
PROTRUDE INTO THE DOOR FRAME AREA.
nOtE:
The Empyre Elite XT has been pressure tested at
the factory for water leaks. Some condensation may be
observed in the firebox while the furnace is coming up to
temperature after the water has become completely cold.
To avoid creosote buildup in the firebox and furnace, burn
only seasoned wood in the Empyre Elite XT.
maintaining proper Water temperature
Do not operate the furnace below a temperature of
165°F (74°C).
this is important in order to maintain
the warranty.
