WHERE THERE'S FIRE,
THERE'S SMOKE —SOMETIMES
If your furnace has never been used before, it will smoke a little
the first time it gets hot. This is normal and will only last for a short
time. Open a window to clear away the smoke. In about ten
minutes the smoke will stop and you can look forward to many
years of SMOKELESS heat.
CHILDREN CRAWLING AROUND
Your Empire furnace is very efficient and gives off a great deal
of heat. So, when your floor furnace is turned on, the floor
REGISTER IS HOT!
CAUTION
The warm air floor register of a floor furnace, due to the high
discharge air temperatures and radiation from heating surfaces,
attains temperature sufficiently high to cause severe burns. KEEP
CHILDREN OFF!
You can reduce the heat of the register by moving the register
temperature control.
REGISTER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The register temperature control has two positions. LOW HEAT
(Black) output, see D, and FULL HEAT (Red) output, see E. Use
the low position when children are present. This will cause your
furnace to turn off and on several times before the living area is
completely comfortable. This is normal and limits the register
temperature to a maximum of 235°F.
NOTE
When using the LOW HEAT position make sure that the control
is resting against the furnace chamber. Sometimes the wire may
hold it away. Pull slack into wire and make sure the control is all
the way down.
C
DON'T put anything around the furnace that will obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
DO keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible
material, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
DO contact a Qualified Installer when planning the
installation.
DO read our Installer and Serviceman's Manual so that you
will know enough to be able to make sure your furnace has
been installed and vented properly.
DO examine venting systems periodically and replace
damaged parts.
DO examine burners periodically. Clean and replace damaged
parts.
MAKE periodic visual check of pilot and burner flame.
PIEZO LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
This furnace is equipped with a Piezo (spark) ignitor for lighting
the pilot without removing the lighter hole cover. A lighter rod is
supplied and can be used to see if the pilot is getting gas and also
for faster lighting when there is excessive air in the lines.
TURNING YOUR FURNACE ON
Don't try to light the pilot by dropping lit matches into your
furnace. A match could fall through and start a fire under your
house.
If your pilot is lit, and the lighting hole window and cover are
tightly closed, you are ready to turn on your furnace.
You turn your furnace on in two easy steps:
Step 1. Turn the furnace control handle to ON.
Step 2. Set your wall thermostat for the temperature you like.
It's as simple as that.
CAUTION
NEVER run your furnace with the lighting hole open or with a
broken lighting hole window. Exhaust gases can get into the
living area through an open lighting hole and be fatal.
