GENERAL NOTES
This instruction manual treats mainly of the oil burning unit of your wood/oil combination furnace.
For any additional information concerning the wood burning furnace, please consult your
installation and operation instructions manual for wood and wood/electricity furnaces.
To obtain the optimal efficiency, follow the advices below regarding the installation and operation of your
WOOD/OIL combination furnace.
Respect the local codes (when in doubt, consult your local heating appliances dealer).
Make sure that the clearances indicated on the instruction manual correspond to the specifications in the
certification plate.
Make sure that your furnace is installed in conformity with the instructions on the name plate.
All the controls adjustments must be performed by a qualified technician. The controls settings and the
fan speed must be in compliance with the recommendations of the Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning
National Association and must respect the static pressure ranges in the warm air plenum of the furnace.
The oil burning furnaces are not approved for use with combustible heavier than No.2 oil (furnace oil).
DO
NOT USE GASOLINE, TRANSMISSION OIL OR OTHER TYPE OF OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.
1. DRAFT AND CHIMNEY
The chimney must be conform to the rules of the authorities having jurisdiction and the CAN/CSA B139
M-91 & NFPA 31 standard regarding installation of oil burning heating appliances. The installation of the
connecting pipes to the oil unit must be done and approved by a qualified pipe fitter.
The barometric damper provided with the appliance must be properly installed on the flue pipe of the oil
unit. The purpose of the damper is to limit the draft, if necessary, in the oil unit evacuation pipe.
Since the evacuation pipe of the oil unit is connected to the evacuation pipe of the wood burning furnace,
the minimum draft to be respected at all times in the evacuation pipe of the wood burning side is -
0.04” W.C.
2. OIL TANK AND PIPING
The maximum capacity of the tank must be 200 gallons and the tank must be located at least 7 feet from the
burner. Local codes will govern the size of the air inlets and filling openings as well as the type of plugs to
be used. 1 1/4" IPS and 2" IPS are usually accepted as minimum dimensions for the air intake pipes and fill
pipes, respectively. The oil line to the burner must be a 3/8" outside diameter copper tubing for runs up to
50 feet and ½” o.d. for longer runs. A manual shut-off valve and an oil filter shall follow in sequence on the
oil line between the oil tank and the burner. The oil line must be buried or protected adequately to avoid any
damage.
THE INSTALLATION OF THE WOOD/OIL COMBINATION FURNACE MUST BE
DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE AUTHORITIES HAVING
JURISDICTION AND THE CAN/CSA B-139 M-91 STANDARD FOR OIL BURNING
HEATING APPLIANCES.
