OPERATING THE FURNACE

LOADING THE FURNACE

Before opening any door to the furnace:
1. Pull the Furnace Smoke Bypass Handle towards the
front of the furnace. This will open the smoke bypass
so no smoke or flame exits the firebox door when you
open it.
2. Crack the firebox door open to the safety catch for at
least 15 seconds to allow the air draft to build out the
chimney and prevent blow back.
3. Open door slowly while standing behind the door
4. Use your ash rake to knock charred wood down and
bank hot coals away from slot and toward edges of fire-
box.
Hint: If there is a minimal coal bed left use the ash
rake to rake through the ash bed to stir up the hot
coals underneath the surface. Lay small pieces of
wood on top of the coals before loading larger pieces of
wood.
5. Make sure the air slot in the refractory brick is clear
6. Load wood carefully using the information and diagram
on the following page.
7. Close firebox door
8. Close Furnace Smoke Bypass by pushing the handle
over center, all the way to the back of the furnace to
the closed position.
