Loading Wood into the HEATMOR™
Please read through the entire HEATMOR™ Operation and Maintenance Manual and talk to your local dealer
for instruction. Ask for a demonstration from your local dealer. It is very important to fully educate all
those who will be loading the furnace with wood.
Loading a large amount of wood into the HEATMOR™ furnace once a day is not always best. We have found
that you have a more efcient re and produce less smoke when you add fuel twice a day. Example: Half of
the days’ demand in the morning and half in the evening. The number of loadings and the amount of wood
needed will vary depending on the amount of heat being removed.
Here are some suggested points to assist you in loading your furnace.
1) Make sure you have your fuel readily available to ll your furnace. (ie. a wheelbarrow full of wood
near the furnace)
2) Maintain a clear, clean area in front of the furnace.
3) Open the outer front door. This allows you access to the inner rebox door as well as opens the anti-
rollout device. This allows air into the rebox to decrease the possibility of the exhaust igniting
and creating a “ash back” before you open the main rebox door.
4) Turn on the light switch. The light should turn on and the combustion air blowers should turn off if
they were operating correctly.
5) Standing to the right, next to the exterior door, with your left hand and your left arm outstretched,
move the re box door handle out of the safety latch.
6) Crack the rebox door open about two inches and allow any pressure left over in the rebox to
escape.
7) Open the rebox door as you step backwards towards the exterior door. This allows you to be out of
the way if there is a “ash back” or exhaust exiting the door opening.
8) Set the rebox door handle into the holder provided on the outer door.
9) After all exhaust has been eliminated, give the ashes over the grates a light stirring with a long rake.
10) Add the necessary fuel to the rebox, being careful not to push ashes into the air boxes.
11) Close the rebox door and latch securely.
12) Turn off the light switch. This will return power to the blowers and turn off the light.
13) Close and lock the exterior door.
