•
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO UNPLUG THE FURNACE WHEN IT'S NOT IN USE FOR A PROLONGED
AMOUNT OF TIME (I.E. DURING SUMMER). SENSORS ON THE FURNACE ARE ACTIVATED BY HEAT
AND COULD ACTIVATE THE FANS EVEN IF THE FURNACE IS NOT IN FUNCTION.
•
THIS FURNACE REQUIRES REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (SEE SECTION 9.12 RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE) WILL
REDUCE THE FURNACE PERFORMANCE AND COULD EVENTUALLY DAMAGE IT. IT ALSO MAY LEAD
TO SMOKE SPILLAGE IN YOUR HOME.
•
THIS FURNACE IS DESIGNED AND TESTED TO BURN ONLY WOOD PELLETS. ANY OTHER TYPE OF
FUEL BURNED IN THIS HEATER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
•
HOPPER SHOULD ONLY CONTAIN PELLETS. HOPPER SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF ANY FOREIGN
OBJECTS AT ALL TIME TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE TO THE FURNACE.
•
THE FURNACE WILL NOT OPERATE DURING A POWER OUTAGE. IF AN OUTAGE DOES OCCUR,
CHECK THE FURNACE FOR SMOKE SPILLAGE. OPENING A WINDOW WILL PREVENT NEGATIVE
PRESSURE AND SMOKE SPILLAGE IN THE ROOM.
•
DO NOT UNPLUG THE FURNACE IF YOU SUSPECT IT IS MALFUNCTIONING. TURN IT OFF, MONITOR IT
AND CALL YOUR DEALER IF NECESSARY.
•
THIS FURNACE IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE OPTIMUM PROPORTION OF FUEL AND AIR TO THE
FIRE IN ORDER TO BURN FREE OF SMOKE AND SOOT. ANY BLOCKAGE OF THE AIR SUPPLY TO OR
FROM THE FURNACE WILL SERIOUSLY DECREASE ITS PERFORMANCE AND WILL BE EVIDENT BY A
SMOKING EXHAUST AND A SOOT BUILDUP ON OUTSIDE WALLS. FOR BEST OPERATION, THE ASH
CONTENT OF THE PELLET FUEL SHOULD BE LESS THAN 1% AND THE CALORIFIC VALUE
APPROXIMATELY 8,500 BTU/LB. OTHER FUELS WITH A HIGH ASH CONTENT WILL REQUIRE A HIGHER
LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING.
•
THE FURNACE WILL NOT OPERATE USING NATURAL DRAFT OR WITHOUT A POWER SOURCE TO
ACTIVATE THE BLOWER SYSTEMS AND FUEL FEED SYSTEM.
•
STOVE BUILDER INTERNATIONAL INC. GRANTS NO WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR STATED, FOR
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FURNACE, AND ASSUMES NO
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
•
IF YOU NOTICE A SMOLDERING FIRE (BURNPOT FULL BUT NO VISIBLE FLAME) AND A HEAVY SMOKE
BUILDUP IN THE FIREBOX, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE FURNACE, BUT DO NOT UNPLUG IT. DO NOT
OPEN THE DOOR OR THE HOPPER LID. MAKE SURE THAT THE FRESH AIR INTAKE SHUTTER WORKS
FREELY. WAIT UNTIL SMOKE INSIDE THE FIREBOX CLEARS AND BLOWERS SHUT DOWN. DO AS
INSTRUCTED IN THE "EVERYDAY STARTUP" THEN ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE FURNACE. IF THE
PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT YOUR DEALER. NOTE THAT SMOKE BUILD-UP DURING IGNITION
MAY OCCUR. SMOKE CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE FIREBOX FOR A FEW SECONDS JUST BEFORE THE
IGNITER IS HOT ENOUGH TO FIRE-UP THE PELLETS IN THE BURN POT. THIS IS NORMAL. AS SOON
AS THERE IS FIRE IN THE BURN POT, SMOKE WILL DISAPPEAR.
•
MAINTAIN PROPER VENTILATION. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ADEQUATE OXYGEN IS BEING SUPPLIED
TO THE FIRE FOR PROPER COMBUSTION. DURING THE WINTER SEASON, MAKE SURE THAT THE
FRESH AIR INTAKE IS FREE OF ANY ICE, SNOW, ETC., AS THIS WILL STARVE THE FIRE OF AIR AND
PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE FURNACE. MAKE SURE THE FRESH AIR INTAKE
BACKDRAFT SHUTTER WORKS FREELY.
•
OPERATING YOUR FURNACE AT THE MAXIMUM SETTING DURING A LONG PERIOD OF TIME MAY
REDUCE THE FURNACE AND ITS COMPONENTS LIFE EXPECTANCY.
