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. Inspect and clean air passage under right hand 

firebox brick. See Figures 2-4.

  a. Remove bricks to expose air passage. Clean areas 

as needed.

 b. Turn blower on by moving lever to the right into 

the  Run  position  and  check  for  airflow  in  front 

right hand corner of the firebox. See Figures 2-4. 

If there is no airflow, remove clean out cover and 

clean.

 c. Install bricks (see Brick Layout applicable to 

furnace model on pages 26 and 27).

4.  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.

5.  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.

6. 

dO nOt 

run the furnace in the summer months when 

the load demand is very low (ie., only domestic hot 

water is being heated.)

7.  Ensure the water reservoir is full during the non-heating 

season to prevent corrosion inside the water jacket.

8.  Ensure proper amount of water treatment is in the 

system. In the event that there has been water loss 

through the season, additional water treatment will 

need to be added. Follow the treatment ratio on the 

bottle for additional gallons of water added to the 

system. It is acceptable to add more than is specified 

on bottle. Operate the water circulating pump for 24 

hours after adding water treatment to ensure proper 

mixing of the water treatment with the water. 

9.  A water sample must be drawn 30 days after purchase 

of the unit and forwarded to your dealer for testing. 

Maintain the results of this test on file. Thereafter, draw 

a water sample once a year and forward to your dealer 

for testing.

  Water properly treated with Pro-Fab approved water 

treatment should have a ph level between 8.8 and 

11.0, a nitrate level between 730 and 1460 ppms 

as NaN02, and a conductivity must be less than or 

equal to 4000 mmhos.

  If the pH is not within tolerance, treat by adding a ratio 

of 1 part of Pro-Fab approved Wood  Burning Furnace 

Treatment (WBFT) to 300 parts of system water and 

retest after one week. If the nitrate is less than 730 

ppm, treat by adding a ratio of 1 part WBFT to 300 

parts of system water and retest after one week. If 

the conductivity is higher than 4000 micromhos, 

drain 50% of the system water.  Refill and treat by 

adding a ratio of 1 part WBFT to 300 parts of system 

water and retest after one week.

  Failing to use pro-Fab 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.
