Safety; Safety Precautions - Pro-Fab Industries Cozeburn Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

• The Cozeburn furnace is designed to work in
conjunction with another heat source. We recommend
this furnace not to be used as a stand alone unit.
Should the system fail or run out of wood, a backup
system should be in place.
• BURN WOOD ONLY. For best efficiency and cleanest
burn use only seasoned fire wood. NEVER burn
trash, tires, solvents, plastics, gasoline, engine oil or
other flammable liquids, rubber, naptha, household
garbage, material treated with petroleum products
(particle board, railroad ties and pressure treated,
painted, or kiln dried wood), leaves, paper products,
or cardboard.
• Start the fire with paper and small kindling.
• The Cozeburn furnace is designed for outdoor use
only. NEVER install the Cozeburn furnace indoors.
• Keep area around the furnace clean at all times to
avoid possible fire hazards. Adhere to installation
clearance and restrictions.
• The Cozeburn rear access door is equipped with a latch
locking bolt. Because of an electrocution hazard and
hot surfaces keep children away. ALWAYS secure door
with latch locking bolt and tighten bolt with wrench.
• If this boiler is connected to an existing boiler system
it must be installed without (a) interfering with the
normal delivery of heated water from the original boiler,
and (b) be installed without affecting the operation of
the electrical and mechanical safety controls of the
original boiler.
• Read the manual carefully and read all decals on the
Cozeburn furnace. Should you have any questions
not answered in this manual, contact your dealer.
WARNING: EXPLOSIVE GASES
Gases formed during solid-fuel combustion may cause a
small explosion when the furnace is refueled.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION!
Hot surfaces. Do not touch during operation.
Keep children a safe distance from the furnace.
• DO NOT use chemicals, gasoline, oil or any other
combustible fluid to start the fire.
• DO NOT store fuel or combustible materials within
the installation clearance area.
• DO NOT connect the unit to a chimney flue that
serves another appliance.
• DO NOT burn trash in this furnace.
• DO NOT pressurize water in furnace.
• DO NOT damage furnace. Load wood carefully.
• DO NOT run furnace with water level below add
mark.
• DO NOT dump ash close to any combustible
materials.
• DO NOT operate with loading or ash removal doors
open.
• DO NOT add fuel during a power outage.
• DO NOT allow ash and creosote buildup. Furnace
must be kept in good condition. Follow cleaning
instructions in the Installation and Operation
Instruction Manual.
• DO NOT modify this unit in any way. Any
modification will void the warranty.
In the event of loss of electrical power:
1. Open all flow-check and zone valves in the system.
Depending on system design, this may allow
convective circulation.
2. It is important to remember that the heating system
cannot dispose of a great deal of heat without the
circulators running. Avoid over-firing! DO NOT
LOAD LARGE AMOUNTS OF SOLID FUEL INTO
THE FURNACE! Fire the furnace cautiously until
it is determined how quickly the heat system is
able to dissipate the heat being produced by the
furnace.
3. When the power has returned, reset all flow-check
and zone valves and resume normal operation of the
system.
In the event of a runaway fire:
1. Make sure the firebox door is tightly closed.
2. Close all the combustion air inlets on the furnace.
To cool an overheated furnace:
1. Turn all thermostats in the house to their highest
temperature setting.
