  • Page 7: Locating The Furnace

    If you have a solid brick or stone wall behind your furnace, you can place the furnace as close as you wish to the wall. If the wall is only faced with brick or stone, treat it as a combustible wall. 1357M 12" Unit to Sidewall (305mm) 30"...
  • Page 8: Chimney Connection

    Chimney Connection MASONRY CHIMNEY Before using an existing masonry chimney, clean the chimney and inspect the flue liner to be sure it is safe to use. Make repairs before attaching the furnace. The connector pipe and fittings you will need to connect directly to a masonry chimney are shown.
  • Page 9: Rules For Connector Pipe Installation

    Rules for Connector Pipe Installation 1. The crimped end of the chimney connector fits inside the furnace flue collar. Install additional chimney con- nectors and elbow with the CRIMPED END TOWARD THE FURNACE. This will allow any condensation in the flue to run back into the furnace. Use 6" dia. steel pipe and elbows for connection to chimney.
  • Page 10 CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY CONNECTOR TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL Figure 8 shows how to connect the chimney connector of a heater to a masonry chimney through a combustible wall. There are five allowable ways that a chimney connector can be connected to a masonry chimney by passing through a combustible wall.
  • Page 11 FIGURE 12, PART A MINIMUM 12 IN. TO COMBUSTIBLES 1. Use a minimum 3-1/2" thick brick masonry wall framed into the combustible wall. A fireclay liner (ASTM C315 or equivalent) having a 5/8" minimum wall thickness must be used and it must be at least 12" away from any material that could catch fire. The inside diameter of the fireclay liner shall be sized for the proper snug fit of a 6"...

    WIRING DIAGRAM Figure 16 NOTE: For model 1357M, disregard the wiring (wires M1 & M2) of one blower motor. Wire leads from the distribution blower are usually BOTH BLACK. Makes no difference which leads from the motor(s) connects to the corresponding leads coming out of the conduit.
  • Page 15: Installation

    Please see all methods of Installation at the rear of this booklet. This is a furnace, not a free standing stove. You must direct heated air from 8" outlets away from the furnace, or it will not function properly. 1. This installation must be done by a qualified heating equipment installer.
  • Page 16: Adding Fuel

    Operating Instructions FUEL Models 1357M & 1557M Egg size (1-3/16" or larger) bituminous coal for residential furnaces, or any of the specially packed fireplace coals can be used. Coal with a low ash content (2% to 6%) is recommended. Hardwood, 18" to 26" should be split and air dried (seasoned) for 6 months.

    Do not expect a furnace to draw. It is the chimney that creates the draft. Smoke spill- age into the house or excessive build-up of water or creosote in the chimney are warn- ings that the chimney is not functioning properly.
  • Page 18 Trouble Shooting Tips for Warm Air Furnace 1. Problem: Smoke puffs from furnace Solution: A. Check chimney draft. Check for blocked chimney or flue pipe. Use mirror to check chimney clearance. B. Check ash pit — if it is too full, empty. C.

    A GUIDE TO BURNING COAL IN YOUR FURNACE Furnaces that are capable of burning coal usually will burn both Bituminous and Anthracite coal. An- thracite is perhaps the best coal fuel because of its long even burn time, high heat output, and clean- liness which make it a good choice for the home.
  • Page 23 Before adding further fuel, be sure to leave a red spot of glowing coals in the center of the firebox to insure that the fire has not been smothered and to help ignite the gases given off by the new charge. A deep charge will give a more even heat and a lon- ger fire, but it may take one to two hours before the whole bed is fully ignited.
