4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROL SYSTEM
On the wood only furnaces, the thermostat controls the air inlet damper. When the thermostat calls for heat, the
damper opens and the fire stirs up. When the furnace gets hot enough, the combined limit control activates the
blower motor at the speed selected for heating.
a) LIGHTING:
1. Open the door
Note: If there already a bed of coals in the firebox, go to step b) Pre-heating.
2. Place one or two dry kindlings at the front of the furnace.
3. Place newspaper strips on top of the kindlings.
4. Cover the newspaper with more kindlings and small pieces of dry wood.
5. Add newspaper strips, then light the fire a low as possible and leave the door 1/2" (13 mm) opened. If you fail
lighting the fire, you might experience a back draft through the air inlets.
b) PREHEATING
1. Once the kindling is well ignited or the coals revived, put 2 or 3 fire logs in such a way that the flames can
interlace between the logs then close the door. It is important to respect these loading sequences so that the
wood will burn from the front to the back of the furnace.
2. Wait 15 to 20 minutes, then proceed with loading the furnace.
