SMOKE DETECTOR We highly recommend the use of a smoke detector. It must be installed at least 15 feet (4,57 m) from the appliance in order to prevent undue triggering of the detector when reloading. DOOR GLASS To maintain a clean and safe installation, do not build your fire too close to the glass or allow the fire logs to lean on the glass.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS FOR HOTBLAST 1950 FURNACE N.B. THE SIZE OF THE AIR RETURN CONDUITS SHOULD BE AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE SIZE OF THE COLD AIR PLENUM OPENING.
A 7” diameter chimney listed for use with wood burning heating appliances is highly recommended for the Hotblast 1950. In this case, a reducer from 7” to 6” is required. If draft exceed –0.06 in. W.C a barometric damper should be installed on the smoke pipe. Never install a manual damper.
DAMPER The barometric control must be adjusted so that the maximum draft measured at the furnace outlet is limited to - 0.06 in. w.c. Please note that a draft higher than -0.06 in. w.c. could result in an uncontrollable fire. On the other hand, the minimum draft to be respected is -0.04 in.
HOTBLAST 1950 On the Hotblast 1950 the combined limit control is installed with the support provided on the left side of the appliance (two holes are predrilled on the edge of the furnace), and connected to the electrical box along with the transformer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Control system On the wood only furnaces , the thermostat controls the air inlet damper. When the thermostat calls for heat, the damper opens and the fire burns up. When the furnace gets hot enough, the combined limit control activates the blower motor at the speed selected for wood heating.
HEATING 1. When loading the furnace, spread the coal and embers evenly in the center of the combustion chamber before adding new logs. 2. Do not overload. Air must circulate freely in the upper part of the combustion chamber in order to obtain an efficient operation of the appliance.
Whenever a high amount of smoke is noticed in the room, you must: 1. Open doors and windows. 2. Make sure the furnace door is closed as well as the damper (if necessary, lower the thermostat starting point or undo the chain of the damper and close the barometric draft control manually). 3.
After cleaning the exchangers, make sure that the upper plate is free of ashes and do not forget to push the upper plate back to its original position. Finally, close the exchanger access door. The accumulated dirt in the lateral exchangers will fall into the HOTBLAST 1950 SECTION VIEW Insulation...
