EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. PLEASE READ ENTIRE
MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE YOUR HEATER.
INSTALLATION IS TO BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER
This furnace can be very hot when burning.
Combustible materials, including fi re wood, must not be stored within the furnace
installation clearances or within the space required for fueling, ash removal, and
other routine maintenance operations.
Children and pets must be kept from touching the heater when it is hot.
The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Before installing this unit,
contact the local building or fi re or other authority having jurisdiction and follow
their guidelines.
Operate only with the doors tightly closed.
Do not use an elevated grate or otherwise raise the fi re.
This furnace is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher effi ciencies and
lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as
compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Do not start a fi re with chemicals or fl uids such as gasoline, engine oil, etc.
Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper, cardboard, solvents or
garbage.
Do not let the furnace become hot enough for any part to glow red.
Comply with all local codes and regulations.
Never operate a furnace that has been improperly installed.
Never operate the furnace unless you are sure the smoke pipe and chimney
are in safe condition. Flue gasses may contain carbon monoxide which is
poisonous.
Keep smoke pipe and chimney clean to prevent a chimney fi re. Inspect and
clean fl ues and chimney regularly. In the event of a chimney fi re turn down all
thermostats and close off combustion air. Call a fi re department if necessary.
Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fi re.
CLEANOUT OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER, FLUE PIPE, CHIMNEY, AND
DRAFT INDUCER IF USED, IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END
OF THE HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE
SUMMER MONTHS, CAUSED BY ACCUMULATED ASH.
