11.8. WOOD HEATING
11.8.1. LIGHTING
1. Open the furnace door
Note: If there is already a bed of coals in the firebox, go to pre-heating.
2. Place one or two dry kindlings at the front of the furnace.
3. Place newspaper strips on top of the kindlings.
4. Cover the newspaper with more kindlings and small pieces of dry wood.
5. Add newspaper strips, then light the fire a low as possible and leave the door 1/2" (13 mm) opened. If you fail
lighting the fire, you might experience a back draft through the air inlets.
11.8.2. PREHEATING
1. Once the kindling is well ignited or the coals revived, put 2 or 3 fire logs in such a way that the flames can interlace
between the logs. Then, close the door. It is important to respect these loading sequences so that the wood will
burn from the front to the back of the furnace.
2. Wait 15 to 20 minutes, then proceed with loading the furnace.
11.8.3. HEATING
1. When loading the furnace, lower the kindled pieces of wood and place them at the center of the combustion
chamber before adding new logs.
2. Do not overload. Air must circulate freely in the upper part of the combustion chamber in order to obtain an efficient
operation of the appliance (secondary burn). Please note that a small hot fire will produce much less residues than
a large, smouldering one.
IMPORTANT: DURING THE HEATING PROCESS, REMOVE THE ASHES AND WOOD THAT COULD
OBSTRUCT THE 1/4" (6.4 mm) HOLE (PILOT) LOCATED BELOW THE DOOR, INSIDE THE
FURNACE’S
COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
11.8.4. EARLY SIGNS OF AN OVERFIRED FURNACE:
Roaring fire.
Chimney connector is glowing red.
Extreme heat coming from the furnace. If this occurs,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR
. Shut-off the air inlet opening
completely, and wait until the glow has completely subsided.
ALWAYS KEEP THE DOOR AND THE ASH DRAWER CLOSED
(except for lighting and maintenance).
PROCEDURE TO OPEN THE LOADING DOOR
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF SMOKE SPILLAGE, OPEN THE
DOOR 1”
AND WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE OPENING IT COMPLETELY.
THE PURPOSE IS TO STABILIZE THE PRESSURE INSIDE THE FURNACE.
