Page 12: General Operation: How A Heatwave Furnace Works
2.00 HOW A HEATWAVE FURNACE WORKS: When the HEATWAVE furnace is energized from an electrical service panel, the current goes directly to the High-Limit micro switch in the High-Limit fan switch. This is a normally closed switch, and from there it goes to the burner. Inside the burner is an aluminum heat sink block, which begins to heat. -
Page 13: Overview: Furnace Controls And Operation
This reduces the stack temperature, and makes your HEATWAVE furnace one of the most thermo-efficient furnaces on the market. 3.00 OVERVIEW: FURNACE CONTROLS AND OPERATION The following is a list of furnace controls: 1. -

CAUTION!! OPERATING THE BURNER WITH THE JUMPER WIRES ATTACHED TO THE FF TERMINALS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AS THIS RESULTS IN BY-PASSING THE OIL PRIMARY CONTROL, AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE THAT IS DESIGNED FOR YOUR PROTECTION! NOTE: The burner must be started first before the jump cable is attached, as attaching the jump cable first will make the burner unable to start! CAUTION!! DO NOT PRESS THE RESET BUTTON IF THE FURNACE IS HOT TO THE TOUCH. -

resistance and current will not pass through it, thereby permitting the safety switch to trip open. The cad cell is sensitive to white, orange, and yellow flames, but not to a blue flame. While a stack-mounted control relies upon the heat from the fuel used for operation, a cad cell control depends upon the light from the oil flame. -
Page 19: Nozzle
(See figure #12). Typical nozzles: HW150 = 609.5, HW250 = 609-7/8, HW350 = 609-9 NOTE: The nozzle should be inspected annually and replaced as necessary for best performance as the colloidal abrasive material in waste oil could wear the orifice into an oblong shape, resulting in flame impingement and hard ignition. -

C. Ventilation air coming from inside the building, combustion air coming from outdoors. 4.10 LOCATION OF FURNACE: CONSIDERING VENTILATION AND COMBUSTION AIR A. You must select an installation location that will provide a sufficient amount of air for combustion. Avoid closets, utility, and furnace rooms if you can; however, if the furnace must be installed in a closed room, add fresh air openings to insure that proper combustion air is supplied to the heater. -
Page 24: Minimum Clearances From Combustible
SIDE ANY CHIMNEY CONNECTOR: 18” CLEARANCE ON ALL MODELS Once you have chosen the location for your HEATWAVE furnace, set the furnace into position. On ceiling mounted furnaces, I recommend that the louvered end be pointed downward to reduce air flow resistance. In this way the louvers need not be adjusted so far down, and the circulation air can blow straight out. -
Page 25: Burner Installation
SERVICE! 4.15 CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS (see figure 7 & 8) 1. The chimney sizes to be used with all HEATWAVE furnaces are 8” diameter. DO NOT USE ANYTHING LESS THAN STANDARD OIL CHIMNEY CONNECTORS, of not less than 24 gauge steel. -
Page 26: Ceramic Or Masonry Chimney
THIS IS AGAINST BUILDING CODES IN MOST STATES. It may be tempting to install your HEATWAVE furnace into a 7” or smaller existing chimney but THIS IS AGAINST CODE AND SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEMS WILL BE CREATED. -
Page 27: Chimney Connector
Although the outside diameter on many may seem adequate, the inside liner, sometimes made of clay, is extremely small. You cannot connect your 8” HEATWAVE stack into a 5” square chimney and still retain a good unrestricted flow. Existing ceramic chimneys may be too small and restrictive or TOO LARGE. -

from the draft created by the movement of air from the circulation blower. On furnaces mounted close to a wall, the circulation blower draws quite a large volume of air; thus, it could cause the damper to malfunction.

For safety, be sure each tank can be turned off with a ball valve. Use a straight-through type valve, as other designs would be hard to clean. -
Page 31: Fill Pipe
Generally, the fill pipe is placed through a wall and capped. Many waste oil furnaces including the HEATWAVE furnaces are sold and installed onto a workbench tank with the furnace on top and the storage tank beneath the heater.

Provide at least 2 inches thereafter. If ducting through a wall, provide adequate opening in the wall for return air. Avoid putting the HEATWAVE furnace into the coldest room such as the shop where smoke and other pollutants will be ducted to the office area. Instead, locate the furnace in the warmer office area and duct the hot air to the shop. -
Page 40: Comment On Installation Wiring Diagram
All installations must be done and certified by licensed electrical and heating technicians. 1. First, determine the proper location for your HEATWAVE furnace, keeping in mind accessibility for service to the furnace cabinet and burner and ambient temperatures that would affect the ducting of heat and the materials used. Make sure that no combustible materials are nearby, and that ventilation and combustion air to the furnace are adequate, and in accordance with code. -
Page 41: Start-Up Procedure
The furnace must have a main power shut-off switch besides that on the electrical panel; this switch should be near the furnace, accessible, and clearly marked. HEATWAVE furnaces have this breaker on the furnace cabinet. -
Page 42: Pump Priming And Additional Start-Up Information
1. Set the wall thermostat to “open” or lower than ambient room temperature. Make sure that the power at the main breaker is OFF to the heater. 2. Make sure the supply tank is filled with the recommended fuel and the filters, lines, and transfer pump are filled with filtered waste oil or #2 furnace fuel and primed. - Page 43 On the model HW350, set the air pressure to 20 PSI.

The HEATWAVE furnace must have a -02 W.C. when cold and -.04 to -.06 W.C. (water column) when running hot. After adjusting the weights to the proper draft, be sure to... -
Page 48: Power Draft Boosters
6.06 DO NOT USE POWER DRAFT BOOSTERS TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE PRESSURES IN A BUILDING USING EXHAUST FANS, CAR EXHAUSTERS, PAINT OR SPRAY BOOTHS, ETC. Most waste oil heaters are engineered to operate on a negative draft and if this negative pressure in the building causes a downdraft through the chimney, obnoxious gases, such as carbon monoxide, will be forced back into the room. -
Page 49: Optimum Flame Length
If the target is glowing RED HOT, you are over-firing your HEATWAVE furnace. Turn the oil pressure down! Do not be concerned if the pressure is not legible on your oil pressure gauge. The flame length is all that you should be concerned about. -
Page 50: Optimum Flame Color
6.12 FLAME GLOWS DARK RED OR ORANGE If your HEATWAVE furnace is emitting too much smoke, with a dark red or orange flame, the chimney and heat exchanger will become sooty and require cleaning. Your oil consumption will also be excessive. -

7.04 DUST REMOVAL FROM 2 CLEANOUT DOOR: CAUTION! To minimize dust removal chores, HEATWAVE has provided two dust clean-out doors on every model furnace manufactured by HEATWAVE. Many competitive models have only one clean-out door and the chimney must be removed for access to the dust chamber, making dust removal arduous. -
Page 54: Maintenance Schedule
We again recommend a permanent installation of a thermometer registering up to 1200° F. to monitor exhaust flue temperatures and over-firing of the HEATWAVE furnace and/or excess accumulation of dust. 7.05 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE DAILY 1. Inspect flame length for over-firing and adjust the air pressure, oil pressure, and secondary air accordingly. -
Page 55: Seasonal Cleaning
With a vacuum cleaner and suitable round brush, remove this dust. KHS stocks 8 inch chimney and 4 inch flue brushes for the HEATWAVE furnace. The dust is not bonded onto the sides of the flue tubes, but a little gentle brushing will be needed to remove this dust. - Page 56 NOTE: One of the advantages of the HEATWAVE furnace over others is the second dust clean-out door, which is opposite the exhaust stack. Removing the chimney flue is not necessary for periodically cleaning the internal flue tubes. Removing the chimney flue is added work and much of the dust can be removed in between seasonal cleaning.

Next, start the furnace, and if ignition occurs and the furnace keeps burning, you should conclude that the fuel is combustible and the ignition spark is weak, shorted out, or not there. If the burner operates normally until the paper is burnt out, it is reasonable to conclude that the fuel has a high water content even if spark is present. -

and see if the noise gets louder. If there is poor draft over the fire, opening the damper of the barometric control exacerbates the problem. You probably are experiencing poor draft and extra chimney should be installed. The furnace may operate normally on some days without rumbling, but a cloud cover could change the draft through the burner. -
Page 82: Furnace Set At Night Is Off By Morning
8.23 FURNACE IS SET AT NIGHT BUT IS OFF BY MORNING The main difference between day and night furnace operations is the ambient temperature is usually lower at night and lower temperatures change operating conditions. For one thing, when the room temperature is set a little lower at night, this will make the oil in the lines colder and thicker. -
