For furnaces covered by this instruction book, it is important to observe safety precautions
to protect yourself from possible injury. Among the many considerations, you are advised
to:
Observe all safety stickers on the furnace.
This furnace must be wired by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and/or
National Electric Codes and must have a power ground.
Never use any type of petroleum product, petroleum based product, charcoal starter,
lighter fluid, lantern fuel, kerosene or any other flammable accelerant to start your furnace.
KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM FURNACE WHEN IN USE
Keep antifreeze, which is flammable, well away from the furnace. Use only non-toxic
antifreeze in the unit. Test antifreeze and other chemicals annually.
The use of treated wood (painted, treated, etc) and any other salvaged material that can
emit toxic gases into the environment and may be corrosive toward the components of the
appliance is NOT ALLOWED and eliminates the rights of the warranty.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE, HOUSEHOLD WASTE OR YARD WASTE IN THE
FURNACE. In most areas, this is illegal. The furnace is designed to burn seasoned
cordwood and coal.
Burning non-approved materials can reduce the life of the
furnace and will void your warranty.
Open-loading door – when opening the door, pause momentarily between the first latch
and the safety latch to allow any combustion gases to burn off.
Earth Manufacturing strongly recommends using a spark arrestor with your furnace.
DO NOT OPERATE THE FURNACE WITH THE DOOR OR ASH RECEPTACLE DOOR
OPEN. Always latch the doors securely. If the ash door is open for any extended period
of time, it will cause over-firing of the fire and boiling. Always remember to keep your
hinges oiled.
Always use proper care when installing, operating and maintaining the furnace.
