  • Page 11: General Operation

    Types of Wood to Use: We advise using only dry, seasoned hardwoods in your Shelter Furnace rather than high resin woods such as pine. Firewood should be cut at least one full season prior to the time of its intended use, for optimum heat output. Firewood should be stacked to provide a free flow of air between the logs, thus allowing more rapid seasoning of the wood.

    Finally adjust the wall thermostat and draft blower cover to a comfortable setting. Ash pan must remain out of furnace during operation. NOTE: Your new Shelter Furnace is capable of producing a very high BTU output. Do not fuel your furnace to capacity upon initial firing.

    Finally, due to the wide variety of temperature ranges during the winter, you may experience periods when it is not necessary to fully load the fire chamber in order to maintain an overnight burn. Your Shelter Furnace will operate at the highest efficiency by adding fuel in amounts needed to maintain comfortable temperatures in your home.
  • Page 14: Disposal Of Ashes

    Remove the ashes from your Shelter Furnace at least once a day, or as often as necessary to ensure the ashes do not accumulate to the height of the grates. If ash build-up occurs at grate level, it will cause premature failure of the grate system, voiding the warranty on the grates.

    • Call your local fire department. Power Failure: In case of power failure, to prevent your Shelter Furnace from over-heating and causing damage to the electrical components, follow these steps: • Ensure that the bypass rod is pulled out, allowing heat to go up the chimney.
