Heating; Early Signs Of Overfired Furnace; Wood As Heating Fuel - PSG -3000 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

HEATING

1. When loading the furnace, lower the kindled pieces of wood and place them at the center of the combustion
chamber before adding new logs.
2. Do not overload. Air must circulate freely in the upper part of the furnace in order to obtain an efficient operation of
the appliance. Please note that a small hot fire will produce much less residues than a large smouldering one.
IMPORTANT: DURING THE HEATING PROCESS, REMOVE THE ASHES AND EMBERS THAT COULD
OBSTRUCT THE AIR INTAKE LOCATED BELOW THE DOOR INSIDE THE FURNACE.
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF A BACK DRAUGHT OPEN THE DOOR 1" AND WAIT ABOUT 10
SECONDS BEFORE OPENING COMPLETELY. THE PURPOSE IS TO STABILIZE THE

EARLY SIGNS OF OVERFIRED FURNACE

1. Roaring fire.
2. Chimney connector is glowing red.
3. Extreme heat coming from the furnace. If this occurs, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, shut-off the air inlet opening
completely, and wait until the glow has completely subsided.
ALWAYS KEEP THE DOOR AND THE ASH DRAWER CLOSED

WOOD AS HEATING FUEL

We recommend that you burn dry wood only.
There are two important factors to be considered when choosing a type of wood: the moisture content and the wood
density. Hardwood, such as maple, oak and beech will provide better results because of the high density and minimal
tar produced during combustion. It is highly recommended to use wood that has been dried at least six months. Do
not use coal as heating fuel in this 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 manually the barometric draft control).
3. When the furnace has cooled down, inspect the chimney to detect obstructions and consult a specialist to
determine the cause of the smoke spillage.
PROCEDURE TO OPEN THE LOADING DOOR
PRESSURE INSIDE THE FURNACE.
(except for lighting and maintenance).
