End of Heating season
1. Thoroughly clean the exhaust area, secondary burn
chamber, and flues of any loose or crusted ash
buildup. Crusted ashes are easier to remove when
furnace is still warm. Note: a thin black coating in
the firebox is acceptable, but ensure that there is no
ash in contact with bare metal.
2. Check for damaged brick and replace as necessary.
Contact your dealer for replacement brick.
3. Inspect and clean air passage under right hand
firebox brick. See Figures 2-4.
a. Remove bricks to expose air passage. Clean areas
as needed.
b. Turn blower on by moving lever to the right into
the Run position and check for airflow in front
right hand corner of the firebox. See Figures 2-4.
If there is no airflow, remove clean out cover and
clean.
c. Install bricks (see Brick Layout applicable to
furnace model on pages 26 and 27).
4. Check to ensure there is no moisture in any part of
the inside of the firebox, secondary burn chamber,
or exhaust area. Apply a thin film of oil in the flue
area and exhaust area.
5. Chimney must have a rain cap.
Failing to properly clean the furnace and protect it from
moisture during the off-season will void the warranty.
6. dO nOt run the furnace in the summer months when
the load demand is very low (ie., only domestic hot
water is being heated.)
7. Ensure the water reservoir is full during the non-heating
season to prevent corrosion inside the water jacket.

8. Ensure proper amount of water treatment is in the
system. In the event that there has been water loss
through the season, additional water treatment will
need to be added. Follow the treatment ratio on the
bottle for additional gallons of water added to the
system. It is acceptable to add more than is specified
on bottle. Operate the water circulating pump for 24
hours after adding water treatment to ensure proper
mixing of the water treatment with the water.
9. A water sample must be drawn 30 days after purchase
of the unit and forwarded to your dealer for testing.
Maintain the results of this test on file. Thereafter, draw
a water sample once a year and forward to your dealer
for testing.
Water properly treated with Pro-Fab approved water
treatment should have a ph level between 8.8 and
11.0, a nitrate level between 730 and 1460 ppms
as NaN02, and a conductivity must be less than or
equal to 4000 mmhos.
If the pH is not within tolerance, treat by adding a ratio
of 1 part of Pro-Fab approved Wood Burning Furnace
Treatment (WBFT) to 300 parts of system water and
retest after one week. If the nitrate is less than 730
ppm, treat by adding a ratio of 1 part WBFT to 300
parts of system water and retest after one week. If
the conductivity is higher than 4000 micromhos,
drain 50% of the system water. Refill and treat by
adding a ratio of 1 part WBFT to 300 parts of system
water and retest after one week.
Failing to use pro-Fab approved water treatment
in accordance with the Installation and Operation
Instruction manual will void the warranty. see
your dealer for authorized supplies. It is the
responsibility of the owner to maintain yearly
water sample results on file.
