Adding Heat Load - Central Boiler e-Classic 1450 IR Owner's Manual

7. If desired, press the Wood Ignition
to increase or decrease the amount of time the gas
ignition burner operates. For split wood that has
been seasoned 6 months or more, 5 to 8 minutes may
be adequate.
8. After the wood ignition timer reaches zero, the
controller will cycle between Low Burn, High Burn
and idle to maintain the system water temperature.
9. 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.
10. 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.
NOTE: If using Wood Ignition doesn't light the
wood (e.g., if the moisture content of the wood is
too high), it may be necessary to press the Wood
Ignition button again after the wood ignition
timer reaches zero.

ADDING HEAT LOAD

CAUTION
Open the bypass door 15 seconds before opening
the firebox door and close the bypass door 15
seconds after closing the firebox door. Do not
leave the bypass door open during operation.
Leaving the bypass door open during operation
may cause damage to components of the outdoor
furnace and may cause creosote buildup that can
prevent the bypass door from sealing properly.

and button
NOTE: During initial start-up, a considerable
amount of moisture from condensation will
collect inside the firebox and heat exchanger and
may drip out of the Reaction Chamber door. This
is normal and the moisture will evaporate after
the first couple of fuel loads.
1. With no heat load draw in the system, monitor the
operation of the outdoor furnace until the water
temperature reaches the water temperature setpoint.
2. Turn on the pump(s); then start a heat load draw
in the system by turning up the thermostat in the
house. Monitor the outdoor furnace for one hour
or until another cycle occurs (i.e., outdoor furnace
goes from combustion to idle mode). If the water
temperature drops and does not recover to the water
temperature setpoint within one hour of starting the
heat load draw, the heat load draw should be shut
off, allowing the furnace to cycle to the idle mode
again.
NOTE: The outdoor furnace will not operate
satisfactorily if the heat load is higher than the
output capacity of the outdoor furnace.
3. At this point, there should be glowing coals
established in the bottom of the firebox. The firebox
can be filled with dry, seasoned split wood.
