two cartons. Contents of items shipped is as follows:

1.   carton one: The basic furnace comes in the carton 

with  the  fire  brick  and  grates  installed.  Inside  the 
furnace wood-firing door is the smoke pipe draw col-
lar, the primary air draft tube, and a bag containing 
the wood firing door latch assembly and handle, the 
ash door latch handle and the ash door pull handle. 
Remove these items and set aside for later installa-
tion.

.   carton two:  The  accessory  package  contains  the 

thermostat, barometric damper, fan and limit control,

rules for safe installation and oPeration

1.  Read  these  rules  and  the  instructions  carefully. 

Failure  to  follow  these  rules  and  instructions  could 
cause a malfunction of the furnace. This could result 
in death, serious bodily injury and/or property dam-
age.

2.   Check your local codes. The installation must com-
 

ply with them.

3.   Use only the type of fuel approved for this furnace.
 

Over-firing will result in failure of heat exchanger and 
cause dangerous operation.

4.   You must have a sufficient supply of combustion air 

to the area in which the furnace is located. (page 4)

5.   Factory  Built  Chimneys:  Connect  this  furnace  to  a 

chimney that complies with NFPA 211 3-1.2. Factory  
built chimneys for use with wood-burning appliances 
shall comply with the HT requirements of UL 103 or 
CAN/ULC-S629-M87.  This  means  you  must  install 
what is referred to as type HT all fuel chimney.

 

Masonry Chimneys: Connect this furnace to a chim-
ney  that  complies  with  NFPA  211  3-1.2.  A  field 
constructed  chimney  of  solid  masonry  units,  bricks, 
stones,  listed  masonry  chimney  units,  or  reinforced 
Portland cement concrete that is lined with suitable 
chimney flue liners and built in accordance with the 
provisions of Chapter 4 of this standard.

6.   Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule 

for efficient and safe operation.

7.   Before servicing, allow furnace to cool. Always shut 

off electricity and fuel to furnace when working on it. 
This will prevent electrical shocks or burns.

locating the furnace
Locate the furnace as close to the chimney and flue as pos-
sible and near the center of the heat distribution center.
Furnace should be located so that sufficient air is available 
for proper combustion and ventilation. Location must comply 
with  minimum  clearances  required  for  fire  protection  and 
accessibility.  See  Fig.  2  on  page  6  for  typical  installation. 
See Combustion Air, page 13

note

It is recommended that a 2", noncombustible raised pad 
be used for the furnace. This will prevent moisture from 
getting under the furnace and causing corrosion.
