Cold Start Firing With Power Ignition - Central Boiler e-Classic 1450 IR Owner's Manual

4. The first time you fire the outdoor furnace, add
very dry kindling to fill the firebox to a level
approximately 15 inches (38 cm) from the bottom of
the firebox. Smaller kindling is preferred. It should
be staggered and able to ignite and burn quickly for
the initial fire.
5. To get the cleanest start-up, the kindling must first
start to burn at the bottom and as close to center as
possible. Place paper around the firebox with very
small pieces of kindling on top (see Fig. 41). Light
the paper and kindling. Once the paper and kindling
are lit, close and latch the firebox door. Do not close
the bypass door.
CAUTION
Do not leave the firebox door open while the fire
is burning. Damage to the door seal and paint on
the front of the outdoor furnace will result and it
could cause a dangerous build-up of gas in the
firebox.

6. Allow the wood load to burn with the bypass door
open until the kindling turns to coals; then add
enough kindling again to fill the firebox about 1/4
full. On top of the kindling, add 8-10 inches (20-25
cm) of dry, seasoned split wood. Close and latch the
firebox door.
7. Wait for 15 seconds; then slowly pull the bypass
door handle toward the front of the outdoor furnace
and push down to close the bypass door.
8. After the water temperature is above 150˚F (66˚C),
proceed to Adding Heat Load.

Cold Start Firing with Power Ignition

1. Disconnect the heat load draw by turning off the
pump(s).
2. Turn the controller on by pressing the Power
button.
3. Lift and push the bypass door handle toward the
back of the outdoor furnace to open the bypass
door. Wait for 15 seconds; then unlatch and open
the firebox door.
WARNING
When opening the firebox door, the door switch will
shut off the primary air supply solenoid and prevent
the gas-fired wood ignition burner from operating
while the firebox door is open. The fan will continue
to run. Do NOT disable the door switch.
4. The kindling in the initial load should be arranged
to provide an air space through the wood pile where
the flame will occur once the gas-fired wood ignition
is activated (see Fig. 41).
