In a new furnace, spread 1" of sand or ashes in the bottom of the firebox to protect against high heat and to prevent warping Your MP80 firebox is lined with quality cast liners. Stresses inherent in the cast process must be neutral- ized before you build extremely hot fires. The first fire should be small and should burn no longer than 30 minutes, gradually increasing for the next six lightings.
If your furnace is operating as an add-on combination unit remember both units will not fully fire at the same time. If wood is to be your main source, set the wood thermostat at your desired room temperature and set the backup thermostat approximately 5 degrees lower. MP80.PUB Version 1.05 Date printed:4/7/2011...
