Flex Fuel Owner’s Manual
3: Safety
• All installation and operations must follow STATE and LOCAL CODES for wiring, plumbing, and firing of this
unit. These CODES may differ from this manual. Installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
• All Flex fuel models operate at atmospheric pressure. DO NOT obstruct, block, or plug the overflow tank.
• Never open the ash door during operation!
• Anyone who is not familiar with and/or has not been trained to operate the Flex fuel may not
operate the system. Only responsible adults should operate your furnace. If the furnace is not fired
properly damage could result and the warranty may be voided.
• Never allow children to play near or tamper with the furnace, fuels, tanks or any other part of the system.
• Always keep the area around, and in front of fuel door clean and free from combustible materials.
• Keep animals away from the furnace.
• The operation may not be continued or restarted in the event of visible damages (for example, water leaks,
thermal distortion, traces of smoke or fire, mechanical damages, etc.). Any damages must be repaired. In
the event of any doubts, please contact your authorized WoodMaster Flex fuel Dealer.
• Freeze protection must be guaranteed in all water-bearing parts in the event of extensive idle
periods of the system.
Note
: Your Flex fuel is not intended to be your only heat source. In the event that
your existing heat source will not back up your Flex fuel antifreeze must be used.
• The Flex fuel system must not be exposed to external mechanical stress (for example, as storage, climbing
support, brace, or similar). This also applies for single parts (doors, covers, etc.).
• Only touch the handles during the operation. Temperatures at other points (for example, chimney, ash
door, buffer tank, lines…) can be very high.
• Remember to recycle the packaging your Flex fuel was shipped in. In the long term properly recycle the
furnace if you replace your Flex fuel.
• The Flex fuel must be operated exclusively according to the guidelines for planning, assembly,
regulations, statutes and product related instructions. The manufacturer is not liable for damages and
their results, if they occurred due to improper assembly, operation, application and also inadequate
maintenance and cleaning.
• Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. Follow all state/local codes.
• Load wood carefully to avoid injury to hands and fingers that may come into contact with furnace
opening.
• Read and follow these directions carefully. Retain this manual for as long as you own your Flex fuel.
