11. For safe operating procedures for solid fuel burning, refer to the notice label on the furnace.
·
The furnace room must have adequate air for combustion. If the unit is in a confined space, on square inch of free air
access for every 1,000 BTU must be provided.
·
Use a chimney suitable for solid fuel, which must be kept free of accumulations of soot and ash.
·
Accumulations of soot and ash not only create a fire hazard but cause poor efficiency.
·
In case of a soot fire, move all thermostats to their lowest setting, close the barometric draft regulator and call the fire
department.
POWER FAILURE
In case of a prolonged power failure, remove the blower access doors to allow freer air movements. The draft fan will be off. If
more combustion air is needed, open the damper in the furnace door.
When the electrical power is restored make sure panels are installed in original position and slide plate damper is closed.
DURING POWER FAILURE OPERATION: DO NOT CHARGE the solid fuel side higher than half way up the liner because
overheating may result at the warm air outlets.
GENERAL CARE
This burner is fully automatic in operation. All adjustments have been carefully set and should not be changed. Keep burner
free from excess dirt and moisture. Any oil leaks, however small, should receive immediate attention. The oil filters should be
cleaned once a year by the service man. The motor should be given a few drops of light oil two or three times a year. No other
parts require lubrication.
FUEL
The supply tank should be kept at least one quarter full. Outside underground storage tanks if not equipped with a special
gauge, are gauged by stick. Recommended grade of fuel: No. 2 Furnace Oil.
CAUTION
1.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE CRANKCASE OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.
2.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT OR CONTROLS, CALL THE SERVICEMAN.
3.
Do not attempt to start burner when excess oil has accumulated, when the heating unit is full of vapour, or when the
combustion chamber is very hot.
4.
Do not start the burner unless the blower access door is secured in place.
5.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR PAPER IN THE HEATING SYSTEM, AND NEVER LEAVE PAPER OR RAGS AROUND
THE UNIT.
HEATING PLANT
Give your Heating unit the proper care and attention. The use of the furnace as an incinerator is not recommended. Heating
unit flues should be kept clean for economical operation. Dampers are set by installation men and should not be changed.
Free ventilation must be permanently provided in the room where the burner installation is made.
CONTROLS
The operation of the burner is normally controlled by room thermostat, which may be set for any temperature desired, usually
0
70
F. If a higher or lower temperature is desired, the indicator should be moved to the proper point on the scale. To shut
down burner at any time, turn main switch to off position.
SUMMER SHUT DOWN
When burner is not to be used during the summer months turn off burner main switch. If the heating unit room is damp, protect
burner against dirt and moisture with light cover.
SAFETY SHUT-OFF
An emergency oil shut-off valve should be installed as required by local ordinance. Always keep the valve shut-off if the burner
is shut down for an extended period of time.
