(b) Furnace label illustration
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.
OIL BURNER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 70 0 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.
