4.2 Items to Check Before Using
1.
Check the heating system water pressure before using the system.
NOTE: Water may not be
added to the boiler while it is running.
2. Ensure that the chimney connector pipe is connected to the chimney and that the chimney is
free of obstructions
3. Ensure that all circulators are connected and operational.
4. Turn on the main electrical service switch.
5. Open any valves that may have been closed temporarily during set-up.
6. The transport protectors for the ceramic bricks are made of wood and will quickly burn. Do
not try to remove them.
7. Check the Operating Thermostat for proper setting. The stop on the underside of the knob
should be on the left hand side of the stop screw. The knob should be resting against stop
screw.
8. Confirm that the setting on the Honeywell
L4008B
(overheat aquastat) is set to 200°F (94°C).
4.3 Starting the Boiler
1. Switch on the fan by pushing the rocker switch on the control panel
(F)
to the upper position
marked “I”.
2. Press the fan reset switch
(N)
to start the fan. Starting the fan will help to eliminate ash and
smoke emissions in the boiler room during loading.
3. Lay 6-12 pieces of dry 1” X 1” X 18” (ideal size) kindling in a mild cross hatch pattern over
the slot in the base of the firebox. Place paper or cardboard on top of the kindling and light
with a match.
4. Close the door (It might help to keep the door slightly ajar).
5. Wait about 1 minute. Open the loading door slowly, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) with the left hand
allowing the smoke to dissipate about 20 seconds. Load firebox neatly and evenly with fire-
wood then close the door. At this point the boiler will operate on its own. Combustion will be
stable after about 10-15 minutes.
4.4 Adding Wood
It is very important not to add more wood than is needed to raise the thermal storage system to it’s
temperature limit. The maximum heat storage vessel temperature should only be reached when all the
wood in the firebox has burned.
1. If the fan is on go to step 3.
2. Press the Door Open Switch (O).
3. Open the filling door 1 inch (2 cm) with the left hand.
4. Wait about 20 seconds.
5. Slowly open the door.
6. Add wood. Try to stack the wood as evenly as possible.
7. Close the door.
8. Switch on the fan switch (F).
9. Press the reset switch (N).

NOTE
THE FAN SHOULD ONLY SWITCH OFF FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME DURING A
BURN-CYCLE. MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE USE OF THE THERMAL STORAGE SYS-
TEM AND DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH WOOD.
*Standby time and starting/stopping of the fan do not give clean combustion. Furthermore, condensation will occur in the
filling chamber, causing corrosion in the steel walls
.
