CAUTION: HOUSE FIRE HAZARDS
• Gasses emitted from freshly added fuel must be burned or they will cause creosote to accumulate in the
chimney. Never smother a fire when adding fresh fuel.
• Never use COAL as a fuel in this boiler. It is not designed to burn any type of coal or coal fuel products.
• DOOR IS HOT while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may
cause skin burns.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
• Never use chemicals, gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar flam-
mable liquids to start or “freshen-up” a fire in the boiler.
• Keep all flammable liquids, especially gasoline, out of the vicinity of the boiler—whether in use or in stor-
age.
• Inspect and clean flue pipe every 90 days. Replace immediately if flue pipe is rusting or leaking smoke
into the room.
• Do not operate boiler with a draft less than 0.05” W.C. (water column)
WARNINGS
NEVER BLOCK DRAFT IN OPEN POSITION
NEVER OPERATE WITH FEED DOOR OPEN
ANTIFREEZE,
Do no install antifreeze in the boiler for a few weeks, in case of boiler problems that would blow the
antifreeze out. Also it is best to drain the boiler at least three times with hot water in it to remove any
residual oil or impurities in it.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (POP-OFF),
The relief valve must be exercised at least once a year, to prevent chemical buildup in the valve that
will prevent it from operating properly. Replace the relieve valve immediately if it starts to leak or
drip. Never block relieve valves. Relieve valves should have an air gap so you can see if they are
leaking. Drain lines must slope down so they do not collect water and to prevent freezing.
Do not open the feed door until the wood has burned down some.
Avoid trying to see how the fire is burning right after you fill it.
All wood burning appliances will smoke if you open the feed door when it is full of wood.
Do not over-fire the boiler.
Over-firing will occur if the feed door is left open
or the draft is blocked open during operation.
Such actions can result in very dangerous operating conditions.
