Rules for the Safe Installation and Operation of Your
Furnace...
Check local codes, the installation must comply with
strict conformance in regard to clearances.
The Furnace must be installed on a noncombustible
floor.
Connect the furnace to tile lined inside masonry chim-
ney or approved insulated all fuel prefabricated chim-
ney only.
Keep smoke pipe connection as short as possible,
using a minimum 24 gauge pipe with a minimum 1/2"
per foot rise from the flue collar to the chimney open-
ing.
Be sure there is a sufficient supply of combustion air
to the area where the furnace is to be located.
Do not over draft the furnace! It is designed to oper-
ate at .04 to .06 inches of water column and must be
set with a draft gauge to maintain a steady draft.
Do not use flammable liquids for starting a fire.
Do not store fuel or combustibles near the furnace.
Some areas of the furnace are hot and could cause
an explosion and possible bodily or property dam-
age.
Store all ashes in a metal container with a tight seal-
ing lid and allow ashes to cool before disposing of
them, possibly a week.
Familiarize yourself with the furnace's solid fuel burn-
ing characteristics before leaving unit unattended for
long periods of time.
The loading door and ash door must be tightly closed
during furnace operation to insure safety and effi-
ciency.
CAUTION -
The furnace has hot surfaces. Keep Children Away.
Do not touch during operation.
The furnace is designed to burn air dried wood and
coal at a predetermined firing rate. Over firing could
result in damage to the heat exchanger and cause
dangerous operation. Over firing occurs when the
ash door is left open during operation or a highly
volatile fuel, such as large amounts of small kindling,
is used. Note: This action voids all warranty.
Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule
of the furnace and chimney for efficient and safe op-
eration.
Do not leave the ash door open when the fire is burn-
ing.
Do not let ashes build up closer than 2" to the grate.
With new steel, there is a small amount of oil or dirt
on the metal. You may smell an odor. This is normal
during the first operation. You should assemble the
furnace out of doors and build a small fire in it to
"burn off" this dirt and oil before installing the unit.
During the first few fires, heat may slightly warp the
front and back panels. This is normal and will not
hamper your unit's operation.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
BURN WOOD OR COAL ONLY THESE MODELS. DO NOT
MIX OTHER THAN THE USE OF WOOD TO START A COAL
FIRE.
DANGER - Risk of Fire or Explosion: Do not burn gar-
bage, gasoline, drain oil or other flammable liquids.
WARNING - Risk of Fire:
Do not operate with flue draft exceeding 6 inches wa-
ter column.
Do not operate with fuel loading or ash removal doors
open.
Do not store fuel or other combustible material within
marked installation clearances.
Inspect and clean flues and chimney regularly.
In case of a power failure,
remove the filter from the
cold air return box if equipped. Do not expect to
keep your home at normal temperatures. Do not
load fuel above the botom of the feed door.
In the event of a chimney fire call the fire depart-
ment, then be sure the furnace doors are closed
tightly and the power to the unit is turned off.
This Furnace Must Be Installed By A Qualified Installer.
