Care And Maintenance - Heatmaster G100 Operation And Maintenance Manual

G Series Outdoor Furnaces
To obtain the high levels of performance of your furnace, certain maintenance proce-
dures are required periodically .
On a daily basis:
- Ensure that all doors are closed and sealing properly. Adjust if necessary.
- Check for creosote buildup in firebox and lower combustion chamber. Some
creosote buildup along the walls, door jamb and firebox door is normal.
- Check water level.
- Clean heat exchange tubes by aggressively pushing and pulling lever back and
forth at least 5 times.
- Check to make sure fan and control are functioning properly. The fan should turn
on when the furnace calls for heat. The control display should be functional and
keeping the water temperature between 160 and 180 F.
- Check for embers or ashes laying on the ground around the furnace and
dispose of them.
- Make sure all covers and guards are in place securely.
- If the furnace is installed outdoors or in an uninsulated structure, make sure rear
cover is securely on.
- Make sure the smoke bypass is closed (the handle should be facing the back of
the furnace).
On a weekly basis:
- Check for creosote build up in the heat transfer tubes and chimney using the top
access panel on the roof the furnace.
- Remove ash from Lower Combustion Chamber in the horseshoe refractory brick
and both sides, carefully using your ash rake.
- Dispose of ashes in a metal container away from the stove and wood pile.
On a monthly basis:
- Inspect air inlet for creosote build up or blockage.
- Depending on the type and quality of wood being used, ash removal from the fire-
box may be necessary. For optimal performance the ash bed in the firebox
should not exceed 6-8".If you are burning a wood fuel that leaves quite a bit of ash
you may need to clean your firebox out every 2-4 weeks to continue to get optimal
performance from your furnace.
- Check fan motor and wheel for creosote buildup. The motor and wheel can be
easily removed by unplugging the wires to the fan and removing the nuts on the
stainless steel plate.
