Flue
Principles of the Flue
The flue allows the passage of heat and gases from the firebox
to the chimney. Because the flue is surrounded with water, heat is
transferred to the water surrounding the flue. This captures heat that
would otherwise be lost out the chimney, assisting in the process of a
more efficient burn.
nOte:
The 200 SSRII has a tubed two pass flue and all tubes, top and
bottom should be maintained.
Maintenance
Only dust should accumulate in the flue.
If creosote develops, the
cause should be determined and eliminated.
1) Inspect and clean the flue once a month during the heating
season, if using wood such as poplar, white oak, heavily barked wood,
that has high ash content, clean twice per month.
2) Remove the one-half inch nuts holding the flue cover and remove
the cover. (The 200 SSRII bottom front flue cover has a cover
that also needs to be removed.)
3) Using the flue scraper provided with the HEATMOR™ furnace, push the dust to the front of the flue
and let it fall down into the firebox. Remove this dust as you would ashes. If a lot of dust is dropped
down, be certain that the air slot of the front air box is not covered. If there is a two pass flue, clean the
top flue through the flue access ports.
4) Re-attach the flue cover plate(s), making sure to tighten the nuts to make an airtight seal.
5) If the HEATMOR™ Furnace unit is shut down for the summer, inspect and clean the flue for the next
heating season.
Flue Cover
Principles
The flue cover(s) is airtight and provides access to the flue for cleanout.
Flue Scraper
Principles
The flue scraper is provided for cleaning the flue only and is not
designed to be used for other purposes.
nOte:
The 200 SSRII comes with a flue scraper and brush, if the flue
has light loose ash use the brush.
