2.9 DEALER INSTRUCTIONS TO THE HOMEOWNER
1. Keep area around unit clean.
2. Use DRY wood only. Hardwood is preferred.
3. Load carefully.
4. Load level no higher than center of door.
5. Remove ash regularly as directed.
6. Watch for soot build up in smoke pipe.
7. Realize the danger of extreme overheating due to overfiring.
8. Danger of flue fire if poor fuel or poor maintenance produces creosote
buildup.
9. Operation of unit during power failure. (i.e. manual operation of zone
valves and flow check valves).
10. When shutting down for extended periods, clean unit thoroughly.
11. Apply a light coating of motor oil to inside of boiler and other exposed
interior surfaces to protect against rust due to moisture from condensation.
12. Before reloading the boiler with wood, turn up the thermostat 2 to 3
minutes prior to loading to establish the draft.
13. When reloading rake the ashes toward the front and place the new fuel
load toward the rear of the boiler.
14. If, under poor draft conditions, smoke comes out of the door when
reloading, the cast iron baffles may be moved forward on the ledge to
allow a ¾” gap behind the baffles. This will allow smoke over the
smoldering embers to escape through the gap when the door is opened.
