It is the responsibility of the consignee to the furnace to examine the packages for damage and, if found, to note the same on the Carrier’s Bill of Lading. Model WAO E has the furnace in one package and the firebrick in another package.

The test must be made between the flue collar on the furnace and the draft regulator. Newmac requires a minimum 7” round or equivalent rectangular or square flue (inside dimension). The minimum flue connector size is also 7” diameter. The specified draft must be available at all times, even in the mildest weather in which the furnace is operated.

FAN AND LIMIT CONTROLS (See FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 for Control Locations) Settings : Fan Off - 95F , Fan On - 130F , High Limit - 200F NOTE: For constant fan operation , push the MANUAL-AUTO switch to MAN POSITION (If Equipped). CAUTION: The flue products may contain carbon monoxide, particularly when the wood fire is being starved for air (made to burn at a slow rate), therefore, the flue pipe must seal tight.

If this happens the warranty on the thermostat is void. HONEYWELL T822 WHITE ROGERS 1F30 PELLET BURNER: For furnaces equipped with the Newmac pellet burner, refer to the pellet burner installation and operating instructions. OPTIONAL BLOWER SECTION INSTALLATION Installation of the Optional Blower Section converts add-on (supplementary) furnace models to a central heating furnace.

BURNING WOOD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS When installation is complete, close the supply switch and turn the thermostat above room temperature. Check to make sure the draft fan above the fire door is operating when the thermostat is set above room temperature. The draft fan should be off when thermostat is set below room temperature. The maximum draft is not to be more than .05”...

To assist with starting fires, a manual toggle switch is located on the Forced Draft Fan that can turn off the fan to prevent nuisance airflows when trying to light matches in the firebox. For safe operating procedures, refer to the label on the furnace. TYPES OF COMBUSTION AIR FOR WOOD HEATING Unlike older airtight heating appliances, low emission furnaces have more than one location and control for supplying combustion air into the firebox.

SAC & LPA Slide Plates must be OPEN at all times when burning wood and may be CLOSED when burning oil for an extended period of time as this will increase oil burner efficiency. DO NOT LET THE COALS/ASHES BUILD UP ANY HIGHER THAN HALF WAY UP THE FIRE BOX LINER (WITHIN TWO INCHES OF DOOR LEVEL).

For connection to an oil furnace refer to, NFPA31 “Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning Equipment” for US requirements. This furnace is designed to burn wood only unless equipped with a Newmac Pellet burner. Proper flue draft must be maintained to allow combustion gases to flow freely out the chimney.

FIG. 7 - FIREBOX INSTALLING BRICK 1. Place one (1) brick on end in the center at back of furnace 2. Place brick lock in furnace brick lock hooks 3. While holding brick lock up, place one (1) brick on end on top of brick previously placed in back (this should hold brick lock up to correct height) 4.

PREPARATION OF WOOD Once I have my wood at home, how do I prepare it for burning? The wood must be cut to length to suit the firebox of the stove, furnace, or fireplace in which it is to be burned.

Does green wood cause creosote? Yes. Indirectly, green wood does cause creosote. The exhaust gases cool as they rise up the chimney. If the temperature falls below the dew point, any moisture contained in these gases will condense on the inside of the chimney, absorb the various products of incomplete combustion and form creosote.
Page 20
Extra air can also be added to the flue gases in the stovepipe; this is what the Ashley creosote inhibitor does. But the net effect of adding dilution air is not obvious or necessarily beneficial. Dilution air will decrease the smoke density, but it will also decrease its temperature. These effects have opposing influences on creosote formation.
Page 21
Chimney fires occur when the combustible deposits on the inside of a chimney burn. The deposits may be ‘raw’ creosote, pyrolyzed creosote, or soot. Ignition requires adequate oxygen, which is usually available, and sufficiently high temperatures the same conditions as for the ignition and combustion of any fuel.
