hand protection when refueling your furnace.
Never place your hand near the auger while the furnace is in operation.
In the event of a power outage, the furnace WILL NOT function. It is very important that unit be vented properly, as the

SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE FEATURES
Your King incorporates a safety pressure switch that helps ensure proper operating conditions before feeding fuel to
the burn pot. Because the furnace works using an induced draft pressure, the furnace will not continue to operate if the
viewing door is left open, if the draft fan fails or if the exhaust system is blocked.
The temperature limit control will prevent your furnace from operating at abnormally high temperatures. Should the
furnace temperature begin to approach the factory pre-set limit, the temperature limit control will automatically slow down
the auger feed rate until the temperature returns to a normal condition. Both room air fans will also operate at full speed

less creosote is deposited, and that weekly cleaning can be necessary in mild weather, even though monthly cleanings
can be enough in the coldest months.
Check the clean out tees periodically to determine the required cleaning schedule. 3 or 4-inch chimney brushes are
