Page 18: Air Controls
12/2 It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you use DRY WOOD only. The wood should have dried for 9 to 15 months, such that the humidity content (in weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the log. It is very important to keep in mind that even if the wood has been cut for one, two or even more years, it is not necessarily dry, if it has been stored in poor conditions. -
Page 19: Operation
12/2 Operation NOTICE: To minimize the risk of smoke spillage when opening the door with a fire in your furnace, crack the door open no more than 1” and wait for at least 10 seconds before opening it more to allow pressure stabilization inside the furnace. -
Page 20: Ash Disposal
12/2 OPERATION Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the wood furnace air intake control’s are adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air control’s are adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber. -
Page 21: Over Firing
12/2 CAUTIONS: • Ashes could contain hot embers even after two days without operating the furnace. • The ash pan can become very hot. Wear gloves to prevent injury. • Never burn the furnace with the ash trap open. This would result in over firing the furnace. Damage to the furnace and even house fire may result. -

12/2 Maintenance Your wood furnace is a high efficiency furnace and therefore requires little maintenance.
