Care And Maintenance - Heatmaster G100 Operation And Maintenance Manual

G Series Outdoor Furnaces
To obtain the high levels of performance of your furnace, certain maintenance proce-
dures are required periodically .
On a daily basis you need to:
- Ensure that all doors are closed and sealing properly. Adjust if necessary
- Check for creosote buildup in firebox and lower combustion chamber
- Check water level.
- Clean heat exchange tubes by aggressively pushing and pulling lever back and
forth 5 times
- Check to make sure fan and control are functioning properly
- Check for embers or ashes laying on the ground around the furnace and
dispose of them
- Make sure all covers and guards are in place securely.
- Make sure rear cover is securely on.
- Make sure the smoke bypass is closed (the handle should be out).
On a weekly basis you need to:
- Check for creosote build up in the heat transfer tubes and chimney. Removal of
creosote may be necessary in mild weather. Load only enough wood to meet the
heat draw for 12-16 hours to minimize creosote build up.
- Remove ash from Lower Combustion Chamber carefully using your ash rake.
Dispose of ashes in a metal container away from the stove and wood pile.
- Inspect air inlet for creosote build up or blockage
NOTE: If you are burning a wood fuel that leaves quite a bit of ash you may need to
clean your firebox out every 2-3 weeks to continue to get optimal performance from
your furnace.
On a seasonal basis when furnace is not in use, you will have to:
- Remove all ashes and excess creosote from firebox, lower combustion chamber,
heat exchange tubes and chimney.
- Inspect the firebox for leaks and that the brick is in good condition.
- Cover chimney and open door enough to allow air movement and reduction of
condensation within the firebox.
- Make sure your water tank is full and have your water treatment tested and ad-
justed to manufacturer's specifications. See page 2 for exact specifications.
- Change your water filter cartridge and inspect all of your system for leaks.
- Tighten your firebox door by adjusting the hinges on each side of the door.
