1.8 ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE
If no one is home during a power failure, the damper will automatically close and some
gravity heating will take place. Combustion air will continue to enter through the
secondary air holes and a fire should be maintained.
IMPORTANT – This furnace is CSA certified for operation under Power Failure only if
the following procedure is followed.
For optimum heating during a power failure follow the procedure listed below:
1) Manually open the blower compartment access door of the wood furnace to allow
gravity flowing air to all areas. (Check with your installer)
2) Place a coin under the damper flap in such a way that it will fall clear when power
is restored.
3) Maintain a careful watch on the furnace temperature. If it should exceed 200º F
(95º C) close the damper door.
4) Do not leave the furnace unattended in this position.
5) Refuel frequently with small load to maintain a small fire at 1/2 normal maximum
volume.
6) Do not expect to maintain maximum comfort under no power conditions.
7) Do not allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the operation of the furnace to attend it
during a power failure.
