WARNING
Maintain the following clearances from
combustibles for the furnace installation:
• 18" from the back
• 6" from the sides
• 48" from the front
• 18" from the chimney inspection cover
• The foundation must be noncombustible
WARNING
For re safety, keep all combustible materials
at least six feet away from the outdoor furnace,
especially around the door area. Debris of wood
chips and other combustibles in the loading area
may be easily ignited if a hot coal is spilled out of
the rebox and left unnoticed.
WARNING
The rebox door must be closed and latched
at all times except when lling the rebox with
wood. Leaving the rebox door open may lead
to a runaway re. In the event of a runaway re,
close the rebox door.
WARNING
All covers must be maintained at all times except
during maintenance, inspection and service.
WARNING
Use only untreated wood in the rebox. Do
not burn garbage, gasoline, rubber, engine oil,
naptha, plastics, treated wood or combustibles
other than wood.
NOTE: Chloride or sulfurous gases can be
generated if plastic or rubber is burned and will
mix with the moisture from the wood and form
sulfuric or hydrochloric acids in the rebox,
creating excessive corrosion.
NOTE: Do not use chemicals or uids to start the
re. Use kindling and a small amount of paper to
start an initial re.
NOTE: This outdoor furnace is not to be used
with an automatic stoker.
WARNING
When adding wood to the rebox, be careful not
to get pinched between the wood and the door
frame, or any part of the outdoor furnace. Use
extreme care with large pieces of wood that may
be difcult to handle.
NOTE: The sight gauge valve should always be
closed, except when checking water level. Water
will automatically drain from the sight gauge tube
when the valve is closed. Remember that this type
of valve requires only 1/4 turn to open or close.
WARNING
Sulfuric acid in the test kit is a corrosive acid.
Handle carefully. Carefully read and follow
precautions on test chemical labels. Keep test
chemicals away from children. Safely dispose of
tested samples.
NOTE: A 40-watt appliance light bulb is
recommended if replacement is necessary. Do
not install a bulb in excess of 60 watts.
NOTE: In case of a power outage, either a
generator or 12V battery with a power inverter
can be used to provide electricity to operate the
outdoor furnace.
