OPERATION DURING POWER FAILURE CONDITIONS
SAFETY FIRST
Your system was designed as a forced air system; do not expect regular performance
without the fan running. Do not over fire to compensate for the lack of a fan. Your
system will perform at approximately 50% capacity in the gravity mode.
During a power failure never fill the firebox above the top of the firebox liner bricks.
Remove the cabinet door from the blower. Remove the air filters and open all reg-
isters to facilitate free air flow.
Lift the left manual draft control lever until it "clicks". This will open the draft to a
pre set level, see fig. 1A. (Page 16)
When the power returns the damper motor will open and the manual control will
return to normal position. Even without the manual control open the factory
adjusted bleed air system will provide some combustion air. To close the power
failure combustion air lift the right hand lever, see fig 1A. (Page 16)
When power is restored replace the blower system, air filters, and door.
Without the blower running, high temperature in the system builds up quickly and over
firing will result in permanent damage to the firebox. Maintain a small fire only. Over
firing voids all product warranties.
