Electrical Code, and with the regulations in C.S.A. Standard B365 “The Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment” in Canada. In the U.S., this furnace must be installed according to NFPA-211, “Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances”. The flue pipe must be black 24 ga pipe minimum.

Burning Wood Operating Instructions When installation is complete, close the supply switch and turn the thermostat above room temperature. Check to make sure the forced draft fan above the fire door is operating when the thermostat is set above room temperature.
TYPES OF COMBUSTION AIR FOR WOOD HEATING Unlike older airtight heating appliances, low emission furnaces have more than one location and control for supplying combustion air into the firebox. These additional air inlets allow for near complete combustion of wood gases and particulates.
CAUTION: Do not operate furnace with the loading door open. Continuous operation with a door open will cause severe overheating and warping. This furnace is designed for Thermostatic operation. POWER FAILURE In case of prolonged power failure, remove the blower access door and air filters. The draft fan will be off, so if more combustion air is needed for the wood fire, open the slide plate damper in the firedoor.
Maintenance Failure to follow these instructions may result in poor efficiency, excessive corrosion of the heat exchanger and the possibility of a creosote fire. DAILY: Clean out Ashes. Ashes must be put in a metal container with a lid on it before moving the ashes to the outdoors.
• In the U.S., this furnace must be installed according to NFPA-211, “Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances”. • This furnace is designed to burn wood only, unless equipped with a Newmac Pellet Burner • Proper flue draft must be maintained to allow combustion gases to flow freely out the chimney.
The clips are welded to the inside of the re door opening INSTALLING BRICK 1. Place one (1) brick on end in the center at back of furnace 2. Place brick lock in furnace brick lock hooks 3. While holding brick lock up, place one (1) brick on end on top of brick previously placed in back (this should hold brick lock up to correct height) 4.

Preparation Of Wood ONCE I HAVE MY WOOD AT THE LOCATION, HOW DO I PREPARE IT FOR BURNING? The wood must be cut to length to suit the firebox of the stove of the appliance in which it is to be burned. A log may be cut into the desired length.

Creosote And Chimney Fires Wood combustion is never perfectly complete. Wood smoke almost always contains some unburned gases and a fog of unburned tar-like liquids. Some of these materials will condense out of the flue gases onto any surface which is not too hot. The condensate is usually dark brown or black, and has an unpleasant acrid odor. It is called creosote.
Page 16
Generally creosote is inevitable and must be lived with. Any kind of chimney deposit decreases the system’s heating efficiency. Soot and dried creosote accumulations have a significant insulating effect; less of the heat in the flue gases transferred into a building through dirty stovepipes and chimneys. The most annoying problem can be creosote dripping from a stovepipe or chimney, and the most dangerous problem is chimney fires, during which the creosote, or its pyrolyzed residue, burns.
The NEWMAC COMBINATION OIL AND WOOD FURNACE toasts the wood to charcoal and the charcoal burns to dust leaving a minute amount of residue. From the above heat values, it can be seen that a cord or hickory wood is equivalent to $248.22 (@ 30.0 cents litre) worth of oil, over twice as much as you would pay for a cord of wood.
