Shutting The Furnace Off
1. Press the On/Off switch once; the lights will go off and the fire will go out in a few
minutes. The board essentially goes into "Safety shutdown".
2. As long as the temperature within the Furnace remains above 110°F the Combustion
(Exhaust) Fan will continue to run. When the P.O.F. switch drops out the Combustion fan
will run for another 10 minutes and finally shuts down completely.
NEVER unplug the Furnace to shut it off. Doing so may cause a significant amount
of smoke to enter the room.

Combustion Air Damper

Figure 21
When burning corn, wheat, rye & Distiller's Grain the burn pot should be
"BALANCED". This means the fuel that is being augered into the burn pot rapidly turns
into glowing coals. If you see a lot of unburned fuel in the pot, an adjustment may be
needed. In an unbalanced pot, the corn, wheat or rye will quickly stick together and
prevent the proper flow of combustion air. The pot will overload and the fire will go out.
(Refer to Figure 17)
Do not neglect to adjust the
Combustion Air damper during the
break in period of your new Furnace
(See Figure 21 to the left). Your
Furnace is equipped with an air inlet
damper. The purpose of this damper
is to adjust combustion airflow to
match the characteristic of each
specific air inlet and chimney
configuration. The damper is preset
at the factory for Program 1 with
the setscrew. The damper will most
likely only need a small adjustment
during the break in period. To know
if the damper needs to be adjusted
you should learn to recognize how
Corn, Wheat, Rye, Pellets, Cherry
Pits & Distiller's Grain burn in this
furnace system.
