Smoke flue inspection
-
The smoke flue should be inspected regularly during the heating season.
-
If possible, the smoke flue should be dismantled and cleaned.
-
The flue should be inspected to detect any defect.
-
If no defect is noticed, put the flue back in place; otherwise, it must be replaced.
-
Use only wood as a combustible.
-
Seasoned hard wood logs 18” to 22” long are recommended as a combustible.
Regular maintenance is required for safe and efficient operation of a controlled-combustion heating system. Chimney,
gaskets and smoke pipes must remain in good working condition.
MAINTENANCE OF THE BLOWER MOTOR
The two bearings of the motor must be lubricated once a year using non detergent SAE 20 oil.
FILTERS
The furnace must not be operated without the filters. The air filters must be cleaned or replaced regularly. Use the
same size and preferably the same type as the original filters.
DOOR GASKET MAINTENANCE
It is important to maintain the door gasket in good condition. After a while, the gasket might sag and a door
adjustment may be required to prevent air leakage; if adjustment is not sufficient, replace the gasket.
We recommend to replace the gasket that seals the door once a year in order to maintain a good control of the
combustion for maximum efficiency and security. To replace your door gasket, remove the old gasket and glue. Clean
the surface thoroughly, apply the gasket glue and put the new gasket onto the door. Wait for at least 2 hours before
lighting your furnace.
6. REPLACEMENT PARTS
Your PSG furnace is designed to burn clean and requires minimal maintenance. It’s recommended to conduct a visual
inspection at least once a month to uncover any damage to the unit. Any damage must be repaired as soon as
possible using genuine PSG replacement parts. You can find a complete list of replacement parts on our website at
