into a wood/coal furnace
The operation of the oil burner as a backup system is as
simple as setting a thermostatTo use the oil portion of your
furnace as a backup proceed as follows
1Set the wood/coal thermostat to the comfort leel you
desire
2Set the oil thermostat to a leel 5 to 10 degrees but not
less than 3 degrees lower than the wood/coal thermostat
That’s all there is to itThe idea is that when the wood/coal
portion can no longer maintain the leel set on that thermostat
the oil portion will come on and maintain the temperature set
on the oil thermostat
SF 2600 - Oil Operation Only - In the oil only modesimply
turn the wood/coal thermostat to its lowest setting and select
the comfort leel you desire on the oil thermostatThe SF
2600 will now act as a standard oil burner and maintain your
chosen temperatureOTEIt is recommended that the

When opening the loading doorit should be cracked open
slightly for a few seconds to allow oxygen to burn any gases
that may be present and to allow smoke to be drawn away
from the door
Wheneer the bottom door is openit should be closed before
opening the loading doorThis is to increase draft through
the loading door and preent excess smoke from escaping

Down Drafts - Trees or other topographical barriers may

Chimney cap or lining may be defectie
Furnace may be too far from chimneynot allowing the
chimney to get warm
