Wood & Coal Burning Furnace Owners Manual Models: 24AF, 24AG, 24AZ TESTED TO UL 391 All installations must be made in accordance with local and state codes which may differ from this manual. UNITED STATES STOVE COMPANY 227 Industrial Park Road P.O.
AIR DUCT INSTALLATION: This furnace provides a 12" round (113 sq. in.) opening, because of efficiency and general convenience. United States Stove Company recommends a Parallel Furnace Installa- tion with direct (ducted) feed or return air to your furnace. NOTE: Cold air duct intake must be at least 25% larger than hot air duct outlet.
...to the world of solid fuel heating! Your new furnace has been designed and built with a high grade of materials and the strictest regard to quality. Before you start installing your new furnace, take the time to read these installation and operating instructions.
Rules for the Safe Installation and Operation of Your Furnace... Check local codes, the installation must comply with strict conformance in regard to clearances. The Furnace must be installed on a noncombustible floor. Connect the furnace to tile lined inside masonry chimney or approved insulated all fuel prefabricated chimney only.

How Your New Furnace Works Unlike conventional heating (gas, oil, electric), wood or coal heating requires more user attention. Your furnace, with its automatic combustion air blower, alleviates the constant need for adjusting the burning rate common to other units on the market.
Furnace location Before you start! It is very important you check with your dealer, local fire department, or building inspector. They will be able to in- form you of any state or local codes pertaining to the loca- tion and installation of your furnace. The ideal location for your furnace is centrally located in the basement.
Your furnace is designed to be added on to existing duct work and operate either with or without another heat source such as a gas furnace. The following diagrams illustrate acceptable ways of ducting your furnace. Clearance to Combustible Materials Your Furnace has been tested to determine the SAFE clear- ances to combustible material.
FLUE RECOMMENDATIONS The termination cap should be designed to inhibit downdrafting without restricting the exhaust discharge. The flue termination should be at least 3' above the roof line. Page 12 Chimney experts have determined that the flue termination should be at least 2' above the highest portion of the roof that is within a 10' radius.
CHIMNEY INSTALLATION With the chimney being the most important part to your installation, great care should be given to its design. MASONRY CHIMNEYS If your intention is to use an existing masonry chimney, check first with your local building official to see if this is acceptable.
NOTE: Your furnace may come partially pre-assembled, but in the case that it is not, follow the instruc- tions below. Prior to assembling, place the unit in the general vicinity of the installation. This should help minimize handling damage to the unit after assembly. Note: If your basement can't handle a height of 7' 8" you must lay the furnace on two, 2 x 4's to slide shrouds onto weldment.

CAUTION: Any hot air plenum connection to a furnace must be constructed of metal. 9. Installing collar to top: To install hot air attaching collar, simply bend all tabs right angle under shroud. This may be possible with thumbs, if not, remove top and use small hammer.

13. Installing front and rear cast baffles, heat plates. NOTE: Grate frames and brick will slide forward and backward to allow baffle to fit. Install front cast baffle using two (2) 5/16 bolts, nuts & washers (7/16 wrench will be needed). Place the side of the baffle that has the two ribs against the front weld of the firebox.

17. Reposition door latches, feed and ash door. For shipping purposes, door latches are on backwards. Unfasten 7/16" nuts, reverse and snug fairly tight (latches must move freely). 18. Installing steel smoke shield. Two (2) holes are pro- vided above each corner of the feed door. Slide the two (2) bolts, supplied in the parts bag, into the holes.

10 BASIC FUNCTIONS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Wall mounted thermostat requests heat...electrical contact occurs. Current is sent through relay, rheostat, 170 degrees thermo limit disk to activate draft fan. Relay...electrical switching device, Rheostat...current (voltage) reducer increases or de- creases draft fan R.P.M. 170 degrees limit disk...breaks off electrical current at 170 degrees (limit disk) Draft fan...small fan that activates fire, increasing fire...
Ignite the paper and close the door. Do not attempt to open the door immediately after igniting the fire. There could be a flame flash out. It will take a few minutes for the fire to establish itself. Once you have some good red hot burning coals, add larger pieces of wood.
Keeping your chimney and stove pipe clean is the best in- surance against chimney fires. Note: Smoke detectors and fire extinguishers should always be a part of your equip- ment. If you clean your own chimney and stove pipe, we recom- mended purchasing the equipment professionals use.

gases given off by the new charge. A deep charge will give a more even heat and a longer fire, but it may take one to two hours before the whole bed is fully ignited. When the fire is well established and the room is becoming warm, partially close the dampers.

ASHES Ashes never should be allowed to accumulate in the ash pit so that they in any way impede the flow of combustion air to the fire. Excess ash accumulation can cause the fire to go out and also can cause severe damage to the grates because of the absence of a cooling flow of air beneath them.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING, PROBLEM SOLVING FOR YOUR FURNACE Problem: Smoke puffs from furnace. Solution: Check chimney draft. Check for blocked chim ney or flue pipe. Use mirror to check chimney clearance. Check ash pit - if too full, empty. Make sure furnace room is not too airtight. Make sure all chimney mortar connections are air tight.
