2.1 !!WARNING!!
A person operating a hydronic heater must comply
with all applicable laws or other requirements such
as state or provincial laws or regulations and local
ordinances.
2.2 !!WARNING!!
All installations and operations must follow the
applicable federal, provincial, state, and local codes
for wiring, plumbing, chimney installation, chimney
extension (if required) and firing of this unit. When
the relevant local codes differ from this manual, the
local codes take precedence.
2.3 !!WARNING!!

heater to any combustibles including fuel storage.
Front—24", Right—6", Left—1", Rear—6", Top—2",
Flue—6".
2.4 !!WARNING!!
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only.
Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally
result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods
as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly
cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN: unclean wood,
unseasoned wood, garbage, tires, lawn clippings,
leaves, brush trimmings or general yard waste,
materials containing asbestos, materials containing
lead, mercury or other heavy toxic metals, materials
containing plastic, waste petroleum products, paints
and paint thinners, asphalt products, chemicals, coal,
glossy or colored paper, construction and demolition
debris, plywood, particleboard, salt water driftwood
and other salt water saturated materials, manure, or
animal carcasses. Burning these materials may lead
to the release of toxic fumes or render the heater
ineffective and cause smoke. Burning these materials
can cause irreparable damage to your heater which is
not covered under warranty.
2.5 !!WARNING!!
Burn wood only! Dry seasoned wood is preferable.

Warnings & Cautions
The manufacturer does not recommend burning
treated or contaminated wood (i.e. railroad ties or
pressure treated lumber).
2.6 !!WARNING!!
All Polar Furnace heaters operate at atmospheric
pressure. DO NOT, in any way, obstruct, block or plug
the overflow/fill pipe located on top of the heater. DO
NOT install a pressure relief valve. This boiler should
not be connected to an existing heating system unless
a water to water or water to air heat exchanger is used.
2.7 !!WARNING!!
Use of a rain cap with an approved spark arrestor is
required.
2.8 !!WARNING!!
Most Polar Furnace heaters are installed outdoors. All
fire clearances on page 15 should be observed. Always
keep area around and in front of fire door cleared from
combustible materials. DO NOT store fuel within
clearances listed on label.
2.9 !!WARNING!!
Polar Furnace heaters are CSA certified for outdoors
and indoors. When used indoors, special care must
be taken to ensure the installation conforms to
local installation requirements. Plan for makeup
air, ventilation of smoke when opening door,
chimney clearances and heights, and clearances from
combustibles. Consult local professionals. Field
installations must satisfy CSA CAN/CSA-B365
installation code for solid fuel burning appliances as
well as any other applicable standards or regulations.
If extended chimney height is needed, use an insulated
chimney system.
2.10 !!WARNING!!
Installation should be completed by appropriately
qualified personnel.
