Installation Instructions
Summeraire Model - RME 111
This furnace is to be installed by a qualified technician.
Some jurisdictions may require the installer to be
licenced.
General
Installation of oil fired heating units shall be in accor-
dance with the regulations of authorities having jurisdic-
tion and the current edition of CSA B139 installation
code for oil burning equipment.
The units are approved for fuel not heavier than No. 2
(furnace) oil. Do not use gasoline, crankcase oil, or any
oil containing gasoline.
Draft and Chimney Requirements
The chimney must be capable of producing a draft of
0.02 inches of water at the furnace flue pipe when the
unit is firing. The chimney should have a minimum height
of 20 feet and have nominal flue area dimensions of 8 x 8
inches. The chimney top should be at least 3 feet above
the point where it comes through the roof and must
extend two feet higher than any roof point within 10 feet.
In the case of a chimney which has been used previously
it is necessary to clean the flue before installing another
furnace.
Note: Due to the very high efficiency of the Riello Burner,
very low stack temperatures may be experienced.
Therefore, we recommend the lining of your chimney with
an approved flexible chimney liner.
Oil Tank and Piping
Maximum capacity of individual tanks used shall be 250
gallons and must be located at least 7 feet from the
burner. Local codes will govern the size of vents and
fillers as well as the type of caps used. 1 1/4 inches IPS
and 2 inches IPS are generally accepted as minimum
sizes for vent and fill pipes respectively. The burner oil
line shall not be less than 3/8 inches O.D. copper tubing
for runs of 50 feet or less and 1/2 inches O.D. copper
tubing for longer runs. A manual shut off valve and an oil
filter shall follow in sequence from tank to burner. Be
sure that the oil line is clean before connecting to burner.
The oil line should be buried and protected by cement to
eliminate any possible damage. Installations having the
fuel oil tank below the burner level must employ a two
pipe fuel supply system with an appropriate fuel oil
pump.
Installation of the furnace
Location
Locate the furnace as closely as possible to the chimney,
providing ample clearance to permit easy accessibility for
cleaning the inside of the furnace, the removal of filters,
blower, motors, controls and flue connections.
Combustion Air
In installations where the furnace is located in a small
room at least one square foot of air opening per gallon
per hour of oil burner capacity must be provided at both
the top and the bottom of the furnace room door. These
openings ensure an adequate supply of combustion air
to the burner.
Positioning The Unit
The furnace must be level in both directions for safe
quiet operation. Support each vee runner equally for uni-
form weight distribution.
Flue Connection and Draft Regulator
The connecting pipe from the furnace to the chimney
should be short and as straight as possible. The draft
regulator supplied with the unit must be installed in a
straight length of pipe no more than 18 inches from the
furnace flue exit pipe.
Wiring
All wiring from the service panel to this furnace shall be
made in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code
and must also comply with all local ordinances.
Filters
The furnace should never be operated without filters.
This is especially true when temporary heat is required
during construction. In addition to permitting circulation
of dust and other suspended particles there is a possibil-
ity of bearing failure resulting from these foreign materials
in the blower and motor housings. Clean or replace filters
once each heating season.
Note: A dirty filter causes inefficiency and higher operat-
ing costs.
Burner Installation
Make sure your read and understand the enclosed
Burner Manual.
Install the burner to the pouch plate with the gasket pro-
vided.
No adjustment may be made to the burner mounting
position.

Note:
For proper operation and maximum efficiency, the RIEL-
LO Burner must be set up exactly as shown on the
enclosed specification sheet. Settings for “Nozzle
Pressure”, “Burner Turbulator Setting”, and “Burner Air
Setting” are shown under each of 4 nozzle selections
that can be used with this furnace. Furnace is shipped
with .50 G.P.H. Nozzle installed and appropriate settings
made on burner to suit this nozzle size.
For complete detail regarding the Riello Burner, read
service manual enclosed with burner.
Fan Control
The setting of the fan control will depend upon the par-
ticular house and heating installation. The “Fan Off” set-
ting is factory set at 100 degrees F. This setting should
provide satisfactory operation for most installations. The
“Fan On” temperature is determined by the built in differ-
ential setting of the control.
It is desirable to have the “Fan Off” setting low enough
for extended blower operation. However, a “Fan Off” set-
ting too low will circulate cool air. To alter the “Fan Off”
setting rotate the indicator to the desired position on the
temperature scale.
Adjustments of all controls should only be made by a
competent serviceman. Control settings and blower
speed should be in accordance with the recommenda-
tions of the National Warm Air Heating and Air
Conditioning Association.
Summer Fan Operation
During the summer, continuous air circulation can be
obtained by turning the manual fan switch from the
“auto” position to the “on” position.
Dual Air Operation
Furnaces equipped with a dual speed blower system
enable partial air circulation at all times. When the ther-
mostat calls for heat the burner starts, and the high
speed phase quickly distributes warmed air throughout
the house. When the high speed phase ceases, the low
speed phase continues circulating the air to even tem-
peratures throughout the dwelling.
High Limit Control
The high limit control may be of a single switch type or
combination type in conjunction with the fan control. A
replacement limit control must be identical to that sup-
plied as original equipment.
Combustion Safety Control
Operation and checking of the primary control is outlined
in detail with the enclosed manufacturer literature.
Cleaning Procedure
Caution:
Do not use any commercially available soot remover. Use
extreme care when servicing since the combustion
chamber is fragile. Routine cleaning of the flue passages
does not require cleaning of the combustion chamber. If
for some reason it is necessary to work in the area of the
chamber do not touch or alter the chamber position.
Before cleaning, shut off electrical power supply to the
furnace.
Remove cleanout panel and cap from the front panel.
Loosen soot from the radiator with a cleaning tool or
brush. The tool should bend allowing cleaning around the
curved surfaces of the heat exchanger.
To clean the rear of the radiator remove the chimney flue
pipe from the furnace flue pipe.
Remove the flue baffle from the flue pipe. Loosen the
soot from the rear of the heat exchanger, flue pipe and
baffle.
Replacement Combustion Chamber
Should replacing of chamber become necessary a spe-
cial replacement chamber is available.
Important - When ordering replacement combustion
chamber specify furnace model number.

twice a year with No.20 Auto oil, 4 or 5 drops for each
cup. Do not over oil. Do not oil blower bearings.
Contact your installer or serviceman on any service prob-
lems or replacement parts.
Clean air filters, located in the blower section of the fur-
nace, at least once a month and replace with new filters
(if disposable type used), twice a year. Use disposable or
permanent type filters.
See specification sheet for sizes required.
Your Summeraire furnace should be checked and serv-
iced at least once a year by a licenced burner mechanic.
As part of this annual service, ensure the flue pipe(s) are
cleaned, inspected and if required they should be
replaced.
How to start your oil furnace
The operation of the oil burner is entirely automatic. To
start it, set the room thermostat above room tempera-
ture. The oil burner will start automatically. If the burner
fails to start check the following:
1. Make sure valve at oil tank is open to allow oil to burner.
2. Make sure “Furnace” switch is “ON”. This switch is
usually mounted in a convenient location on a wall or
partition near the furnace.
3. Check electrical service panel and make sure breaker
is not tripped or fuse is blown - Replace with correct
amperage fuse only.
4. If item 1, 2, and 3 are okay, press “RESET” button on
oil burner ONCE ONLY.
5. If unit fails to start call a qualified service man.
Note:
If your furnace is to be shut down for an extended period
of time, oil valve at oil tank must be closed. Before
restarting your furnace, be sure to turn oil valve on.
Proceed to instructions on “How To Start Your Oil
Furnace”. If unit fails to start, call a qualified service man.
To maintain maximum operating efficiency and comfort
from your Summeraire Furnace, it should be serviced at
least once a year by a licenced burner mechanic. The fol-
lowing maintenance procedures should be performed by
the service man.
1. Heat exchanger and combustion chamber should be
checked for any type of damage or abnormal wear.
2. Blower and fan assembly should be checked for
lubrication, belt condition, pulley wear and alignment.
3. Set up burner using combustion testing equipment
to “0” smoke.
4. Change oil filter cartridge (in oil filter at oil tank).
5. Replace oil nozzle with one specified for unit.
