Page 10: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WOOD-BURNING The ECONOBURN Wood-Fired Boiler will burn most solid wood fuels; however, it is recommended that hardwoods be used for their superior energy content. Burning dry, seasoned wood is also recommended because a residual moisture content of between 15 and 25% is required for optimal gasification combustion. -
Page 11: Storage Of Wood
THE FLUE DRAFT CONTROL SYSTEM The ECONOBURN Wood-Fired Boiler has been designed so that the firebox door latch remains locked, preventing the firebox door from opening unless the flue draft handle (see Figure 1) is first pushed inward as far as it will go toward the rear of the unit. -
Page 12: Fuel Loading
FUEL LOADING To load your ECONOBURN Wood-Fired Boiler with fuel (wood), ALWAYS use the following procedure: 1. Open the Boiler’s bypass damper by pushing the flue draft handle as far to the rear of the unit as it will go. -
Page 13: Boiler Control
The fan remains on as long as the water temperature is below the desired water temperature. Packed with the ECONOBURN Wood-Fired Boiler is a pump which would be used in the near boiler circulating loop. (See Diagram C - Plumbing Connections - Page 25) This pump circulates the... -
Page 14: Firing Your Boiler
Unlike gas or oil fired boilers, when the ECONOBURN Wood-Fired Boiler goes into stand-by mode, its temperature will continue to rise until the lack of combustion air slows the fire enough to stabilize the water temperature. This setting will vary from system to system and will be dependent upon the size of your Boiler, the amount of water in the system, the time of year, and the heat load on the Boiler. -
Page 15: Cleaning Creosote Build Up
Your installation contractor should inspect the chimney for creosote build-up before beginning installation of your Boiler. If creosote exists in the chimney, it MUST be cleaned by a professional (e.g., chimney sweep) prior to installation of the ECONOBURN Wood- Fired Boiler. -
Page 16: General Safety Tips For Boiler Operation
It is advisable to install an auxiliary power supply to power the boiler during a power failure. A gravity flow piping circuit should be installed. BOILER OPERATING CHECKLIST Keep area around your ECONOBURN Wood-Fired Boiler clean and clear of combustibles. Use only wood. DO NOT burn any other combustible material, or liquid. - Page 17 Remove ashes as directed. Watch for soot in flue pipe - clean regularly. Be aware of danger due to over firing unit. This unit is NOT suitable for automatic stoking. Load the firebox chamber carefully. Always observe the following minimum clearances to combustible materials: Front 48”...
- Page 18 Load carefully. Plan wood load based on BTU requirement. Maintain intense burns for maximum efficiency. Remove ash regularly as directed. Watch for soot build up in Flue pipe, and Heat Exchanger. Realize the danger of extreme overheating due to over firing. Danger of flue fire if poor maintenance produces creosote buildup.

Page 19: Maintenance And Cleaning
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING The ECONOBURN Wood-Fired Boiler must be cleaned regularly to maintain top efficiency. A good practice is to establish a routine for the storage of fuel, care of the appliance, and firing techniques. BOILER MAINTENANCE Turbulator assembly should be exercised every day of boiler usage when the unit is hot. -
Page 20: Ash Disposal
ASH DISPOSAL Before removing ashes, cease refueling and allow the fire to die down. Before opening the lower combustion chamber door, ensure the fire in the boiler is completely extinguished. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. - Page 21 We recommend that ashes be removed from this area around twice per week in order to keep the efficiency of your Econoburn at maximum. If ashes accumulate in the upper firebox, rake them through the gasification nozzle and into the lower combustion chamber.
