ASH REMOVAL & DISPOSAL
Never let your ashes get any higher than the pilot air hole.
Remove ashes as needed leaving at least 2 inches of ash
in the bottom of the firebox. Ashes should be placed in
a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. The ashes should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
PILOT AIR
OPENINGS
CAUTIONS:
• ASHES COULD CONTAIN HOT EMBERS EVEN
AFTER TWO DAYS WITHOUT OPERATING THE
STOVE.
• THE ASH PAN CAN BECOME VERY HOT. WEAR
GLOVES TO PREVENT INJURY.
• NEVER BURN THE STOVE WITH THE ASH TRAP
OPEN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN OVER FIRING
THE STOVE. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND EVEN
HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
SMOKE & CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon
monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods
of time. While the modern combustion systems in
furnaces drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted
out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or
confined areas can be dangerous. Make sure you stove
gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order
and sealing properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is
recommended that you use both smoke and CO monitors
in areas having the potential to generate CO.
GASKET CARE
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT GASKETS
OR WITH BROKEN GASKETS. DAMAGE TO THE
STOVE OR EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
It is recommended that you change the door gasket
(which makes your furnace door air tight) once a year,
in order to ensure good control over the combustion,
maximum efficiency and security. To change the door
gasket, simply remove the damaged one. Carefully clean
the available gasket groove, apply a high temperature
silicone sold for this purpose and install the new gasket.
You may light up your furnace again approximately 24
hours after having completed this operation. This unit’s
feed door uses a 5/8” diameter rope gasket. The door
glass on this unit uses a 1 x 1/8 gasket.
ATTENTION:
THIS WOOD FURNACE NEEDS PERIODIC
INSPECTION AND REPAIR FOR PROPER
OPERATION. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL
REGULATIONS TO OPERATE THIS WOOD FURNACE
IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
SERVICE HINTS
Do not expect a furnace to draw. It is the chimney that
creates the draft. Smoke spillage into the house or
excessive build-up of water or creosote in the chimney
are warnings that the chimney is not functioning properly.
Correct the problem before using furnace. Possible
causes are:
1. The connector pipe may be pushed into the chimney
too far, stopping the draft.
2. Do not connect two furnaces or a stove and furnace
into the same chimney flue.
3. The chimney used for a furnace must not be used to
ventilate the cellar or basement. If there is a cleanout
opening at the base of the chimney, it must be closed
tightly.
4. If the chimney is operating too cool, water will
condense in the chimney and run back into the
furnace. Creosote formation will be rapid and may
block the chimney. Operate the furnace at a high
enough fire to keep the chimney warm, preventing
this condensation.
