DUCT WORK
We strongly recommend that the hot air ductwork be
installed by a home heating specialist. If doing the
installation yourself, consult a qualied heating technician
and follow his recommendations as to the safest and most
efcient method of installation.
SUPPLY AIR
The supply air duct shall be constructed of metal in
accordance with NFPA 90B, 2-1.1. The plenums installed to
the furnace shall be constructed of metal in accordance with
NFPA 90B, 2-1.3. When installing this furnace the supply
air plenum is to have a minimum height of 24” (610mm)
if the top of the rst vertical section is not ush with the top
of the rst horizontal section of ductwork. If the top of the
plenum is ush with the top of the rst horizontal section of
ductwork then the minium height is 15” (381mm).
RETURN AIR
The return air intake on the furnace is on the rear of the unit.
The ductwork must be mechanically attached to the unit or
blower box with sheet metal screws to ensure a proper
operation.
STAND ALONE INSTALLATION
When installing this stand alone furnace, ensure all local
codes and all instructions in this manual are followed,
including clearance to combustibles, oor protector
specications and safety warnings.

LISTED FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
Your wood furnace may be hooked up with a factory built
or masonry chimney, matching the diameter of the exhaust.
If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with
UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore it must be a Type
HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed
according to the manufacturer’s specications.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be
built in compliance with the specications of the National
Building Code. It must be lined with re clay bricks, metal
or clay tiles sealed together with re cement. (Round ues
are the most efcient).
The interior diameter of the chimney ue must be identical
to the furnace smoke exhaust. A ue which is too small
may cause draft problems, while a large ue favors rapid
cooling of the gas, and hence the build-up of creosote and
the risk of chimney res. Note that it is the chimney and not
the furnace which creates the draft effect; your furnace’s
performance is directly dependent on an adequate draft
from your chimney.
Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue serving another
appliance.
The following recommendations may be useful for the
installation of your chimney:
• It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the
uppermost point of contact.
• The exterior portion should be double or triple wall pipe
to ensure proper draft.
• The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other
obstruction within a 10’ (3.04m) distance by a height of
2’ (0.6m).
• Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to
an exterior chimney. The interior chimney will be hotter
than an exterior chimney that is being cooled by the
ambient air outside the house. Therefore the gas which
circulates will cool slower, thus reducing the build-up of
creosote and the risk of chimney res.
• The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be
increased with an interior chimney.
• Using a re screen at the extremity of the chimney
requires regular inspection in order to ensure that it is
not obstructed thus blocking the draft, and it should be
cleaned when used regularly.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may
cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. Inadequate
INSTALLATION

12
© 2023 Breckwell Hearth
INSTALLATION
draft may cause back pufng into the room and ‘plugging’
of the chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to
leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney
connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or excessive
temperature indicates excessive draft. Do not operate with
the ue draft exceeding .06 water column/14.93 Pascals.
The draft can be checked with a draft gauge or manometer.
Take into account the chimney’s location to ensure it is not
too close to neighbors or in a valley which may cause
unhealthy or nuisance conditions.

CAUTION:
BE SURE THAT IF A MASONRY CHIMNEY IS USED, IT IS
SAFELY CONSTRUCTED AND IN GOOD REPAIR. HAVE
THE CHIMNEY INSPECTED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR
AN INSPECTOR.
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards
of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by
having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are
no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and
blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the furnace
is installed and operated. When connecting the furnace
through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special
methods are needed as explained in the “Combustible Wall
Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs” Section.
WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THIS FURNACE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
PASS-THROUGHS
METHOD A - 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm)
brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay
liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must
conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specication for Clay
Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12”
(304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and
wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run from the brick
masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the chimney
ue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or
cement the clay liner in place to the chimney ue liner.
METHOD B - 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Using a 6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter,
listed, factory-built Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation
of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-through with
a minimum 9” (228.6 mm) air space between the outer
wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use
sheet metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on
all sides, to maintain the 9” (228.6 mm) air space. When
fastening supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the
chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The
inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be ush
with the inside of the masonry chimney ue, and sealed
with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use this cement
to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.

© 2023 Breckwell Hearth
13
METHOD C - 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024”
[.61 mm]) 6” (152.4 mm) metal chimney connector, and
a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall thimble which has
two air channels of 1” (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall
pass-through. There shall be a minimum 6” (152.4 mm)
separation area containing berglass insulation, from the
outer surface of the wall thimble to wall combustibles.
Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening with a 24-
gage minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6” (152.4
mm) space. There should also be a support sized to t and
hold the metal chimney connector. See that the supports are
fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure
fasteners used to secure the metal chimney connector do not
penetrate chimney ue liner.
METHOD D - 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney
section at least 12” (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1”
(25.4 mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 8” (2 inches
[51 mm] larger than the 6” [152.4 mm] chimney connector).
Use this as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gauge single
wall steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section
concentric with and spaced 1” (25.4 mm) off the chimney
connector by way of sheet metal support plates at both
ends of chimney section. Cover opening with and support
chimney section on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet
metal supports. See that the supports are fastened securely
to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to
secure chimney ue line do not penetrate the inner liner.
NOTES:
• Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B,
shall extend in one continuous section through the wall
pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past
the inner ue liner face.
• A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or
roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a oor,
or ceiling.

Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same
diameter as the furnace outlet. If this is not the case, we
recommend you contact your dealer in order to ensure there
will be no problem with the draft.
The furnace pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll
steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is
strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
Your connector should be assembled in such a way that the
male section (crimped end) of the pipe faces down. Attach
each of the sections to one another with three equidistant
metal screws. Seal the joints with furnace cement.
The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed

horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with
the upper end of the section toward the chimney. Any
installation with a horizontal run of furnace pipe must
conform to NFPA 211. You may contact NFPA (National
Fire Protection Association) and request the latest edition of
the NFPA Standard 211.
To ensure a good draft, the total length of the furnace pipe
should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04 m). (Except for
cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the
smoke exhaust system can be much longer and connected
without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room).
There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in
the smoke exhaust system.
Installation of a “barometric draft stabilizer” (replace
register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited.
Do not use with a ue damper. With a controlled combustion
wood furnaces the draft is regulated upon intake of the
combustion air in the furnace and not at the exhaust.
FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the
manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed.
You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and
install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through
and “T” section package, restops (where needed),
insulation shield, roof ashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain
proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the
manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height
above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper
draft operation.

Your heating appliance was designed to burn well
seasoned natural wood only; no other materials should
be burned. Any type of well seasoned natural wood may
be used in your stove, but specic varieties have better
energy yields than others. Higher efciencies and lower
emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned
hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or too green or
freshly cut hardwoods. The following resources can assist
in learning the burn characteristics of various species of
wood:

https://forestry.usu.edu/forest-products/wood-heating
The operation of this wood furnace in a manner inconsistent
with the owner’s manual will void your warranty and is also
against federal regulations. Waste and other ammable
materials should not be burned in your stove. DO NOT
BURN:
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or
asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Saltwater driftwood or other previously salt water-
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials does
not prohibit the use of re starters made from paper,
cardboard, sawdust, wax, and similar substances to
start a re in an affected wood furnace.
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic
fumes or render the furnace ineffective and cause smoke.
Deadwood lying on the forest oor should be considered
wet and requires full seasoning time. Standing deadwood
can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned.
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6”
in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored
directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the logs.
A 24” to 48” air space should be left between each row
of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location
possible. The upper layer of wood should be protected
from the element but not the sides. A good indicator of if
the wood is ready to burn is to check the piece ends. If
cracks are radiating in all directions from the center then the
wood should be dry enough to burn. If your wood sizzles
in the re, even though the surface is dry, it may not be
fully cured and should be seasoned longer. It is EXTREMELY

IMPORTANT that you use DRY WOOD only in your wood
stove. The wood should have dried for 9 to 15 months,
such that the humidity content (in weight) is reduced below
20% of the weight of the log. It is very important to keep
in mind that even if the wood has been cut for one, two,
or even more years, it is not necessarily dry, if it has been
stored in poor conditions. Under extreme conditions, it may
rot instead of drying. This point cannot be overstressed; the
vast majority of the problems related to the operation of a
wood stove is caused by the fact that the wood used was
too damp or had dried in poor conditions. These problems
can be:
• ignition problems
• creosote build-up causing chimney res
• low energy yield
• blackened windows
• incomplete log combustion
Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated
sawdust or logs with any chemical additives.
TESTING YOUR WOOD
• When the furnace is thoroughly warmed, place one piece
of split wood (about ve inches in diameter) parallel to
the door on the bed of red embers.
• Adjust all air controls to there maximum settings and close
the door. If ignition of the piece is accomplished within
90 seconds from the time if was placed in the furnace,
your wood is correctly dried. If ignition takes longer, your
wood is damp.
If your wood hisses and water or vapor escapes at the
ends of the piece, your wood is soaked or freshly cut
(green). Do not use this wood in your stove. Large amounts
of creosote could be deposited in your chimney, creating
potential conditions for a chimney re.
POWER FAILURE
DO NOT add additional fuel after a power failure, remove
all air lters and reduce combustion air to a minimum.
Observe furnace closely until power is restored.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood furnace has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn
rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations
to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood furnace
in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this
manual.
EFFICIENCIES
Efciencies can be based on either the lower heating value
(LHV) or the higher heating value (HHV) of the fuel. The
lower heating value is when water leaves the combustion
process as a vapor, in the case of woodstoves the moisture
in the wood being burned leaves the stove as a vapor. The
higher heating value is when water leaves the combustion
process completely condensed. In the case of woodstoves
this would assume the exhaust gases are room temperature
when leaving the system, and therefore calculations using
this heating value consider the heat going up the chimney
as lost energy. Therefore, efciency calculated using the
lower heating value of wood will be higher than efciency
calculated using the higher heating value. The best way
to achieve optimum efciencies is to learn the burn
characteristic of you appliance and burn well-seasoned
wood. Higher burn rates are not always the best heating
burn rates; after a good re is established a lower burn rate
may be a better option for efcient heating. A lower burn
rate slows the ow of usable heat out of the home through
the chimney, and it also consumes less wood.
NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES,
THIS APPLIANCE IS COATED WITH A SPECIAL HIGH TEMP
PAINT WHICH REQUIRES A SERIES OF LOW TO MEDIUM
BURNS TO FULLY CURE FOR DURABILITY AND A LIFETIME
OF SERVICE.
Proper curing of the high-temp paint requires a series of
three initial burns. The appliance should be allowed to cool
off between each burn. The rst two burns should be small
res and low temperatures (250°F) for a duration of 20
minutes each. The third re should be at a temperature of
approximately 500°F for 20 minutes. Provide adequate
cross ventilation to clear any smoke or odor caused by
initial rings.
Notice: Use solid wood fuel only! Do not burn garbage,
or ammable uids. Do not use coal. This appliance is not
designed to accommodate the air ow (draft) required to
properly burn coal or coal products. Do not elevate the re
using grates or irons. Build the re directly on the rebrick.
FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure this unit produces the optimal minimum emissions
it is critical that only well-seasoned cordwood is burned.
Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves
efciency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in your
chimney. Be considerate of the environment and only burn
dry wood.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED WITH THE
DOOR OPEN.

WARNINGS:
• NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF
THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS
HAPPENING. READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT
A LOWER SETTING.
• THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE OR GRATES IS
NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE. BUILD
FIRE DIRECTLY ON FIREBRICK.
• NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING OF
THE FIREBOX.
• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT
EXCEED FURNACE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN
RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE FURNACE.
GENERAL FURNACE OPERATION
Honeywell Limit Control
This device, mounted in the ductwork, just above the air
discharge atop the furnace, works in conjunction with a
wall thermostat, operating the distribution blowers and the
combustion fan on the rear of the furnace. The factory settings
are 100/150/200. The wall thermostat setting operates
the ON time of the combustion fan. If the temperature is
below the setting on the wall thermostat, the combustion fan
will come ON. (Recommended setting at 5 to 10 degrees
higher than other heating thermostats.) The rst two set
points on the limit control operates the distribution blowers.
When the furnace plenum temperature reaches the second
set point on the limit control, the distribution blowers will
come on. If the temperature falls to the rst set point, the
distribution blower will shut-off. When the furnace reaches
the third set point on the limit control, the combustion fan will
shut-off. Once the temperature falls below that set point and
the wall thermostat is still calling for heat, the combustion
fan will turn back ON. The 200° is a Factory Preset Limit for
the combustion fan and should never be changed. Doing
so could result in excessive rebox temperatures and could
permanently damage your rebox.
FURNACE LOADING PROCEDURE
Starting your Furnace
• When lighting the furnace, the wall thermostat should
be set to its MAX setting so that the combustion fan is
ON. Start the re with approximately 12 lbs. of kindling,
which will be several small strips of wood, 1-1/2 to 2-1/2
inches wide, approximately 12 to 15 inches deep in the
bottom of the rebox. Leave the fuel loading door slightly
open to ensure good ignition of the kindling. Make sure
the combustion fan is ON and its damper is closed, then
pull the knob/loop on the front of the unit to prop open
the barometric dampers.
• Once the kindling is fully ignited, add another 12 to 15
lbs. of kindling, which will be around the same amount
as the initial load.
• Leave the door slightly open for three to ve minutes (3-5
min) to ensure full ignition of the second kindling load.
• After the second load of kindling is fully ignited, you can
close the door and push the knob/loop on the front of the
unit back in to allow the barometric dampers to function
freely. After 15 minutes, fully open the damper on the
combustion fan.
• Once the kindling burns down to about 8 lbs., which
should be to the point that the kindling will break up into
a full bed of coals, the preload can be added into the
rebox. The preload should consist of around 40 pounds
of properly seasoned cord wood, which should be about
6 to 8 pieces of wood.
• After loading the preload, close the door, and make
certain the combustion fan is ON.
• Allow about one hour (1hr) for the preload to burn down
to around 10-12 lbs. or when all the preload wood will
break up into coals. You should now have a coal bed that
is several inches deep in the bottom of the rebox.
• The purpose of the preload burn is to establish a proper
coal bed prior to inserting the main load of wood. Having
a proper coal bed is the key to a complete ignition of
the main wood load and to maintain the correct rebox
temperatures to get the best emissions and efciency
output of the furnace.
• After you have completed the preload burn, you may
insert your main rewood load.
• The main load should be the same size or amount as the
preload, approximately 40 pounds of cord wood, 6 to 8
pieces.
• Try to keep gaps between the pieces of wood to help with
the ignition and maintain a good re.
MAIN FIREWOOD LOAD
• Ensure that the combustion fan is ON, and open the feed
door to insert the main rewood load.
• After loading, leave the feed door slightly open for ve
minutes (5 min) to ensure proper ignition, then close the
door.
• The damper on the combustion fan should be open.
• Depending on the temperature at which the wall thermostat
is set, this will determine the burn duration of the main
load. A lower setting on the thermostat should result in a
longer burn time as this would allow the combustion fan
to remain OFF for longer periods. A higher thermostat

setting will cycle the combustion blower ON/OFF more
often, resulting in a hotter, but shorter duration burn time
of course. However, colder outside temperatures and your
home’s construction (insulation) will play a big factor in
how well the thermostat can maintain it’s set temperature.
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be
an effective method of determining how efciently the
combustion process is taking place at the given settings.
Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture leaving
your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specic
unit to produce the smallest amount of visible smoke. Wood
that has not been seasoned properly and has a high wood
moisture content will produce excess visible smoke and
burn poorly. Use the included moisture meter to ensure your
wood has a 20% or less moisture content.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide
an accurate mix of secondary air to ensure the highest
efciency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes
may reduce the efciency of combustion. The air tubes are
held in position by screws or snap pins. Locate these to
either side of the tube and remove it to allow the tube to be
removed and replaced.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
DO NOT OVERFIRE APPLIANCE. YOU ARE OVERFIRING IF
ANY PART OF THE APPLIANCE GLOWS RED. CLOSE THE
DOOR AND SHUT DAMPER IMMEDIATELY TO REDUCE THE
AIR SUPPLY AND SLOW DOWN THE FIRE.
CAUTION:
SLOW BURNING FIRES FOR EXTENDED USE OR BURNING
GREEN WOOD MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE
BUILD-UP. IGNITION OF CREOSOTE OR OVERFIRING
COULD CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE. CHIMNEY FIRES BURN
EXTREMELY HOT AND MAY IGNITE SURROUNDING
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE,
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY!
CREOSOTE & SOOT - FORMATION & NEED FOR
REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, the products of combustion
combine with moisture to form a soot residue which
accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this soot makes
an extremely hot re. The chimney should be inspected at
least twice monthly during the heating season to determine
if a creosote or soot build up has occurred. If creosote or
soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney re. Chimney res burn very hot. If the
chimney catches re, immediately call the re department,
then reduce the re by closing the inlet air control. Pour a
large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda or cool ashes on
top of the re in the rebox.
CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION CAUSES CHIMNEY FIRES.
YOU SHOULD CHECK (OR HAVE CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED
CHIMNEY SWEEP) YOUR CHIMNEY FOR CREOSOTE
DEPOSITS AT LEAST MONTHLY DURING THE HEATING
SEASON. ANY ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE REMOVED.
COMPLETE CHIMNEY INSPECTIONS AND CLEANING
SHOULD BE CONDUCTED ANNUALLY; TYPICALLY, THIS
TASK SHOULD BE PERFORMED PRIOR TO EACH HEATING
SEASON. IF USING AN EXISTING CHIMNEY, IT MUST BE
INSPECTED PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR NEW
WOOD STOVE.
CAUTION
A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNITION OF WALL STUDS
OR RAFTERS WHICH YOU THOUGHT WERE A SAFE
DISTANCE FROM THE CHIMNEY. IF YOU HAVE A CHIMNEY
FIRE, HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED
PERSON BEFORE USING AGAIN.
ATTENTION:
THIS FURNACE NEEDS PERIODIC INSPECTION AND
REPAIR FOR PROPER OPERATION. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL
REGULATIONS TO OPERATE THIS FURNACE IN A MANNER
INCONSISTENT WITH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN
THIS MANUAL.
TO PREVENT CREOSOTE BUILD UP
• Always burn dry wood. This allows clean burns and
higher chimney temperatures, therefore less creosote
deposit.
• Always check for creosote deposit once every two months
and have your chimney cleaned at least once a year.
• If a chimney or creosote re occurs, close all dampers
immediately. Wait for the re to go out and the furnace to
cool, then inspect the chimney for damage. If no damage
results, perform a chimney cleaning to ensure no more
creosote deposits is remaining in the chimney.
CAUTION:
A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNITION OF WALL STUDS
OR RAFTERS WHICH WERE ASSUMED TO BE A SAFE
DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE CHIMNEY. IF A CHIMNEY
FIRE OCCURS, HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED BY A
QUALIFIED EXPERT BEFORE USING AGAIN.

ASH REMOVAL & DISPOSAL
Never let your ashes get any higher than the pilot air hole.
Remove ashes as needed leaving at least 2 inches of ash
in the bottom of the rebox. Ashes should be placed in a
metal container with a tight-tting lid. The closed container
of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible oor or on
the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending
nal disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
PILOT AIR
OPENINGS
CAUTIONS:
• ASHES COULD CONTAIN HOT EMBERS EVEN AFTER
TWO DAYS WITHOUT OPERATING THE STOVE.
• THE ASH PAN CAN BECOME VERY HOT. WEAR
GLOVES TO PREVENT INJURY.
• NEVER BURN THE STOVE WITH THE ASH TRAP OPEN.
THIS WOULD RESULT IN OVER FIRING THE STOVE.
DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY
RESULT.
SMOKE & CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon
monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods
of time. While the modern combustion systems in furnaces
drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney,
exposure to the gases in closed or conned areas can be
dangerous. Make sure you stove gaskets and chimney joints
are in good working order and sealing properly to ensure
unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both
smoke and CO monitors in areas having the potential to
generate CO.
GASKET CARE
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT GASKETS OR
WITH BROKEN GASKETS. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR
EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which
makes your furnace door air tight) once a year, in order
to ensure good control over the combustion, maximum
efciency and security. To change the door gasket, simply
remove the damaged one. Carefully clean the available
gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for
this purpose and install the new gasket. You may light up
your furnace again approximately 24 hours after having
completed this operation. This unit’s feed door uses a 5/8”
diameter rope gasket. The door glass on this unit uses a 1
x 1/8 gasket.
ATTENTION:
THIS WOOD FURNACE NEEDS PERIODIC INSPECTION
AND REPAIR FOR PROPER OPERATION. IT IS AGAINST
FEDERAL REGULATIONS TO OPERATE THIS WOOD
FURNACE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
SERVICE HINTS
Do not expect a furnace to draw. It is the chimney that
creates the draft. Smoke spillage into the house or excessive
build-up of water or creosote in the chimney are warnings
that the chimney is not functioning properly. Correct the
problem before using furnace. Possible causes are:
1. The connector pipe may be pushed into the chimney
too far, stopping the draft.
2. Do not connect two furnaces or a stove and furnace into
the same chimney ue.
3. The chimney used for a furnace must not be used to
ventilate the cellar or basement. If there is a cleanout
opening at the base of the chimney, it must be closed
tightly.
4. If the chimney is operating too cool, water will condense
in the chimney and run back into the furnace. Creosote
formation will be rapid and may block the chimney.
Operate the furnace at a high enough re to keep the
chimney warm, preventing this condensation.
