AIR AND/OR WATER LEAKS
Air Leaks
Checking For Air Leaks
Once your HEATMOR™ system is up and running, we recommend that you conduct an
initial check for air leaks from the furnace. To detect an air leak, put some green grass (or
something which will create heavy smoke) into the furnace. When the furnace is smoking,
cover the chimney and turn off the blower and watch for smoke leaks.
Why we do not want air leaks
Air leaks cause the re to not burn as hot or efciently. In result you will use more wood to
achieve the desired water temperature. The HEATMOR™ Outdoor Furnace is designed
with over / under forced drafts and if air leaks occur, it would change the output of the
furnace.
AIR LEAKS INTO THE FIREBOX WILL CAUSE THE FORMATION
OF EXCESS CREOSOTE.
Water Leaks
If you suspect that your HEATMOR™ Stainless Steel Outdoor Furnace has developed a
water leak, please contact your local dealer for verication and further details.
