INTRODUCTION
Thank You for your purchase of a U.S. Stove Coal Burning Grav-
ity Style (Up-Flow) Furnace. Your decision to buy our Clayton
Furnace was undoubtedly reached after much careful thought
and consideration. We are very proud you chose this furnace and
trust you will receive the comfort and economy that others real-
ize when heating with a U.S. Stove product.
IMPORTANT
Before installing and using your Clayton furnace, please read
the following pages thoroughly and carefully. If you follow the
instructions, your Clayton furnace will give you safe and more
dependable service for years to come.
•
First step: Check your local codes. This installation must
comply with their rulings.
•
Do Not install this furnace in a mobile home or trailer
•
Always have a smoke or ionization detector and a CO detec-
tor installed in your home.
•
To prevent injury or damage, do not allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the furnace to operate it.
•
This furnace must be installed ONLY in the prescribed
manner shown in illustrations 1, 2, or 3 under the Instal-
lation Examples in this manual. It is NEVER to be installed
as a counter-flow or down-draft furnace, or in any manner
wherein the heated air is directed in a downward flow into
the home or toward to an existing central furnace.
•
NEVER INSTALL outside the home.
•
Spend adequate time with your furnace to become well ac-
quainted with the different settings and how each will affect
its burning patterns. It is impossible to state just how each
setting will affect your furnace because of the variations in
each installation.
DISCLAIMER NOTICE
The BTU ranges and heating capacity specifications are provided
as a guide and in no way guarantee the output or capacity of
this unit. The actual BTU output depends on the type of fuel be-
ing burned and its conditions, the thermostat setting, the draft
adjustment and the chimney to which the unit is attached. The
actual area that this unit will heat depends on factors such as
the conditions of the building, heat loss, type of construction,
amount of insulation, type of air movement, the location of the
unit and more importantly the duct work and return air facility.
Warning:
Do not alter this appliance in any way other than specified in
these instructions. Doing so may void your warranty.
LOCATING YOUR FURNACE
The furnace is to be installed maintaining the clearances speci-
fied in the following illustrations. Do not place the furnace di-
rectly on a combustible floor. If you are placing it on a combus-
tible floor, an approved fire retardant material, equivalent to 3/8"
UL Listed millboard, should be placed under the unit. The mate-
rial must extend at least 16 inches beyond the front of the unit
and 8 inches on either side of the fuel loading door opening. It
must also extend underneath the chimney connector and to each
side of the connector by at least 2 inches.

REDUCED CLEARANCES
NFPA guidelines and most codes permit reduced clearances to
combustible walls and ceilings if adequate protection is added.
A common mistake is to assume that sheet metal, masonry, or
millboard placed directly against a wall protects it. Materials
installed in this manner actually provides very little protection.
These materials are good heat conductors, so they will be almost
as hot on their back side as they are on the exposed side. There-
fore, the combustible wall behind is still a fire hazard.
A wall can be kept cool using these items but only if they are
mounted and spaced out from the wall by an inch or two to allow
free air circulation behind the protective panel. The protective
panel should also have a gap between the floor and ceiling.
Three rules to follow when constructing wall protectors:
1.
Non-combustibility of all materials including mounting and
supporting.
2.
A well ventilated air space between protector and wall.
3.
Sufficient strength and rigidity so that the protector and air
space will be durable.

CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
A fireclay lined masonry or Class A 103HT All-Fuel Metal Insu-
lated Chimney must be used in all airtight coal furnace installa-
tions. The minimum recommended flue size for the model 1602
is 6 inches, inside diameter and for the 1802, the recommended
flue size is 8 inches, inside diameter. When making new chimney
