PROCEDURE TO OPEN THE LOADING DOOR
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF SMOKE SPILLAGE, OPEN THE DOOR 1”
AND WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE OPENING COMPLETELY.
THE PURPOSE IS TO STABILIZE THE PRESSURE INSIDE THE FURNACE.
EARLY SIGNS OF OVERFIRED FURNACE
1. Roaring fire.
2. Chimney connector is glowing red.
3- Extreme heat coming from the furnace.
If this occurs, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, shut-off the air inlet completely, and wait until the
glow has completely subsided.
ALWAYS KEEP THE DOOR AND THE ASH DRAWER CLOSED
(except for lighting and maintenance).
WOOD AS HEATING FUEL
9 DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLAMABLE LIQUIDS TO LIGHT THE FIREPAS
9 DO NOT BURN TRASH, GASOLINE, NAPHTA, MOTOR OIL OR OTHER SUCH
MATERIALS.
We recommend that you burn seasoned hard wood only.
There are two important factors to be considered when choosing a type of wood: the
moisture content and the wood density. Hardwood, such as maple, oak or beech will provide
better results because of the high density and minimal tar produced during combustion. It is
highly recommended to use wood that has been dried at least six months. Do not use coal
as heating fuel in this appliance.
Whenever a high rate of smoke is noticed in the room, you must:
1. Open doors and windows.
2. Make sure the furnace door is closed as well as the damper (if necessary, lower the
thermostat starting point or undo the chain of the damper and close the barometric control
manually).
3. When the furnace has cooled down, inspect the chimney to detect obstructions and consult
a specialist to determine the cause.
