FURNACE INSTALLATION GUIDE
Installation should be performed by a qualied technician. THESE FURNACES ARE FOR COAL USE ONLY. Follow all applicable local laws.
LOCATION
Maintain adequate clearance from buildings and combustibles. Store fuel outdoors under cover. Do not place or store fuel or allow debris
to accumulate within stove installation clearances or within the space required for charging and ash removal. Never install the furnace in
the fuel storage building.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
The following clearances to combustibles must always be
followed or damage and personal injury may result.
Contact all governing authorities in your area prior to installation.
When choosing the location of your furnace you should consider
prevailing wind direction, distance from home for refueling and fuel
storage, and giving consideration for any effect on your neighbors.

FURNACE FOUNDATION
• Inspect the ground conditions that you intend to install
your furnace on. If the area is unstable or has a history of
staying wet you may have to improve the soil with gravel as
well as raise the level of furnace placement.
• A concrete pad of 4-6” in thickness should be used.
• The furnace in most cases can be placed on 4 cement
blocks not less than 6” wide X 10” long and 3” thick.
• The furnace should never be installed on a combustible oor.
• Never allow combustible material to accumulate on the
furnace foundation.
• Do not install on a combustible base.
• A non-combustible material such as cement or steel
should be used under the boiler and at least 16 inches (400
mm) in front and 8 inches (200 mm) on either side of the
fuel-loading and ash removal doors.
Find the footprint of the furnace you have purchased in the
appendix of this manual and place your blocks so the legs will
stand on the center of the blocks. Cement pads should be a little
bigger than the actual furnace, with about a 4’ extra length front
and back so you have a solid working area.
