Component Description

6″ Chimney Outlet. (Not pictured) Venting must be provided using a lined masonry chimney or a listed UL103 type HT chimney. The chimney exhausts smoke and flue gases that are a natural result of combustion and provides “draft” to the Furnace. Draft is the force that moves air from the burn chamber up through the chimney. See Venting for further instructions.

1. Sliding Smoke Baffle. When open, the sliding smoke baffle allows smoke and flue gases to flow into the chimney connector without restriction. When closed, smoke and flue gases are diverted around the sliding smoke baffle, creating a longer path for the heated air and allowing your furnace to extract the maximum amount of heat from the fire.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 4

Plenum Opening. (Not pictured) Allows you to connect the Furnace into your home’s warm-air supply duct. The ENERGY KING 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace has a plenum opening of 18 inches by 18 inches.

Page 11

Component Description

Cast Iron Doors. (Not pictured) Heavy cast iron fuel loading and ash removal doors are secured to the Furnace using door pins (4 included). The door gaskets provide an airtight seal and should be inspected regularly to ensure that they are in good condition at all times. The gasket must be replaced if it becomes damaged or worn. Do not operate the Furnace with the fuel loading or ash removal doors open.

2. Cast Iron Hearth Plates. These plates help to ensure the precise amount of combustion air required to promote the most efficient combustion for either fuel. ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnaces use two cast iron hearth plates—one at the front of the burn chamber, and one at the rear. (2 included).

3. Cast Iron Stationary (Wood) Grates. This is where you build your wood fire. If you selected the Shaker Grate option, the Wood Grates will have been replaced with Shaker Grates at the factory.

Cast Iron Shaker Grates (Optional). (Not pictured). This is where you build your wood or coal fire. The handle to control the Shaker Grates is located at the front of the Furnace, on the left side of the ash removal door.

4. Firebrick. 2000-degree, heat retentive firebrick protects the sides, back and top of the Furnace’s burn chamber.

Ash Removal Pan. (Not pictured) Designed for easy cleanup of fine ash accumulation. Do not operate the Furnace with the ash removal door open; keep it closed except to remove ashes. The ash removal door gasket provides an airtight seal and should be inspected to ensure that it is in good condition at all times. The gasket must be replaced if it becomes damaged or worn.

Control Box. (Not pictured) Controls the

Furnace’s electrical system. The control box is

pre-wired for your preferred draft system. Circulation Blower. (Not pictured) The three-

speed circulation blower, operated by the fan/limit control, forces air on all sides of the burn chamber, through the heat exhanger tubes, and then into the home's duct system. The blower can be manually adjusted to run faster or slower to correspond to the amount of heat being produced.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 5

Filter Box (optional). (Not pictured) Provides air filtration for your cold-air return system. A non-combustible filter is required when using the optional filter box.

Combustion Fan. (Not pictured) If you selected Forced Air Draft, this fan will supply air for combustion by forcing air into the burn chamber when your wall thermostat calls for heat.

24-V Damper Control Motor. (Not pictured) If you selected Automatic Draft, this motor will supply combustion air to the burn chamber by automatically opening the draft damper door when your wall thermostat calls for heat. Combustion air is pre-heated and delivered into the combustion chamber via an airwash above the glass viewing port on the fuel loading door.

5. Primary Combustion Air: Pre-heated

combustion air is delivered to the burn chamber through a specially designed air system which includes both an automatic damper control and a manual damper control to allow for fine tuning of the burn rate.

6. Secondary Combustion Air. A stainless steel air tube delivers super-heated secondary combustion air into the burn chamber, igniting gases and particulates that would normally be released as smoke through the chimney.

24-V Wall Thermostat. (Not pictured) Tells your Furnace when your home has cooled below your preferred temperature. Your automatic or forced air draft system is controlled primarily by your wall thermostat.

Fan/Limit Control. (Not pictured) This control automatically starts and stops the circulation blower. It also features a limit switch which will cut power to the damper control motor or combustion fan if the temperature exceeds the set limit, while the circulation blower continues to run to cool the furnace.

Insulated Cabinet. (Not pictured) The almondcolored steel cabinet panels (sides and top) restrain the foil-backed insulation, allowing maximum heat from the Furnace to be circulated through the home’s warm-air supply duct system.

Legs. (Not pictured) Raise the Furnace off the floor to prevent the accumulation of moisture between the floor and the bottom of the Furnace.

Fuel Requirements

BURN AIR-DRIED WOOD, OR ANTHRACITE OR BITUMINOUS COAL ONLY

It is important to use fuel that is clean, dry and consistent. Solid-fuel Furnaces, such as your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace, naturally produce ash as a byproduct of the burning process. Even with ENERGY KING Furnace’s highly efficient design, your Furnace will still produce some amount of ash which will need to be cleaned periodically. The type and quality of fuel you burn affects the amount of ash produced and the performance of your Furnace. To assist you in determining which fuel to use, here are some guidelines to consider:

WOOD

Burning wood for heat is as old as civilization itself. More than any other major fuel, wood provides us with energy independence – an easily available, locally produced and renewable source of heat on which we can rely.

 The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace

has been tested for operation with air-dried wood.

 Wood should be seasoned (dried) for at

least 12 months before burning. Properly seasoned wood should have about 20% 25% moisture content. To properly season wood, split the logs as soon as possible and loosely stack them in a dry spot for at least 12 months.

You should not burn wet or green wood in your Furnace. Burning wet or green wood in your Furnace will not only reduce the efficiency of your appliance, but also increases the risk of dangerous creosote build-up in your appliance and chimney.

 Softwoods, such as pine and fir, are easily

ignited and burn rapidly with hot flames. With softwoods, you will spend more time reloading your Furnace, and will have much more difficulty achieving an overnight burn. For a longer lasting fire, it is best to use more dense hardwoods.

 Ideally, you should burn a mixture of

hardwoods and softwoods, using the hotter, faster burning softwoods to start your fire, and the denser hardwoods to maintain a longer-lasting fire.

 With this in mind, choosing the kind of

firewood that is best for you depends on what is available in your area. If hardwoods are unavailable in your area, you can control the burn rate by using larger pieces of wood and by adjusting your draft controls.

 DO NOT BURN: Treated wood, colored

paper, garbage, cardboard, solvents, or trash—burning these may result in toxic fumes, or produce soot and large flakes of char or fly ash. Burning treated wood,

colored paper, garbage, cardboard, solvents or trash can be dangerous and will void your ENERGY KING warranty.

 DANGER – Risk of Fire or Explosion: Do

not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, drain or engine oil, or other flammable liquids or inappropriate materials in this Furnace.

Storage

 Store all fuel in a dry location away from

the elements. Never burn wet or green wood.

 Do not store fuel within the Furnace

installation clearances or within the space required for refueling, ash removal and other routine maintenance operations.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 7

Page 14

Risk of Fire: Do not store fuel or other combustible material within the marked installation clearances.

Fuel Requirements

BURN AIR-DRIED WOOD, OR ANTHRACITE OR BITUMINOUS COAL ONLY

COAL

One of the world’s most widely-used fuel sources, coal can provide the energy independence and low fuel prices sought by owners of solid-fuel heating appliances.

 The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace

has been tested for operation with anthracite (hard) or bituminous (soft) coal.

 Anthracite: Also known as Hard Coal,

anthracite is a hard, lustrous coal with a high carbon content that burns with a clean blue, nearly smokeless, flame.

 Bituminous: Also known as Soft Coal,

bituminous coal is a soft type of coal that has a high sulfur content and burns with a yellow, smoky flame.

 Bituminous coal tends to contain more

impurities and sulfur than anthracite coal, which may decrease the expected lifespan your ENERGY KING solid-fuel heating appliance and its components. If you choose to burn bituminous coal, be sure to select only burn high-grade bituminous coal.

 Coal Size: Your ENERGY KING

Wood/Coal Furnace is designed to use coal that is Nut size or larger.

 DO NOT BURN: Treated wood, colored

paper, garbage, cardboard, solvents, or trash—burning these may result in toxic fumes, or produce soot and large flakes of char or fly ash. Burning treated wood,

colored paper, garbage, cardboard, solvents or trash can be dangerous and will void your ENERGY KING warranty.

 DANGER – Risk of Fire or Explosion: Do

not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, drain or engine oil, or other flammable liquids or inappropriate materials in this Furnace.

Storage

 Store all fuel in a dry location away from

the elements. Never burn wet coal.

 Do not store fuel within the Furnace

installation clearances or within the space required for refueling, ash removal and other routine maintenance operations.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 8

Page 15

Risk of Fire:

Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue serving any other appliance.

Installation

 Do not operate with flue draft exceeding .06 in. (14.95 Pa)

water column.

 Do not operate with fuel loading or ash removal doors open.  Do not store fuel or other combustible material within marked

installation clearances.

 Inspect and clean flues and chimney regularly.

General Requirements

The installation of any solid-fuel heating appliance is not a do-it-yourself project. The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace should be installed by a qualified installer with specific knowledge of central heating systems. Check with your fire department and building inspector for local, state, and national codes and regulations regarding installation.

Solid-fuel heating appliance related fires are caused almost exclusively by installation, operation, or maintenance errors. A smoke detector in “working” condition must be a part of every ENERGY KING solid-fuel heating appliance installation—this is the most inexpensive insurance you can buy! For additional safety, [MANUFACTURER NAME]. recommends installing working smoke detectors and a listed carbon monoxide warning device in the living areas of the home.

The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace is designed to be used in conjunction with a listed gas- or oil-fired furnace, or as a central Furnace.

Placement

 Floor Protection

Floor protection must be provided because of possible spillage of ashes and burning fuel. The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace must be installed on a noncombustible floor or 3/8-inch thick fireproof millboard or equivalent.

The non-combustible material must be placed underneath the furnace, and must extend at least 18 inches on all sides of the Furnace, and at least 8 inches on either side of the fuel loading and ash removal doors.

Additionally, the non-combustible material must extend at least 18 inches on either side of the chimney connector.

Consult your local ENERGY KING dealer for possible sources of non-combustible floor protection material acceptable for use with your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

 As Primary Furnace

Locate the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace as close to the new or existing chimney as possible and as central to the heat distribution system as practical.

Additionally, the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace should be placed so that you can easily complete operation and maintenance procedures.

Strictly adhere to all requirements pertaining to clearances to combustibles, combustion air, venting system, draft control, and thermostat installation.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 9

Page 16

Figure 2: Clearances to Combustibles

Installation

 As Add-On Furnace

The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace is designed to be used in conjunction with a listed gas- or oil-fired furnace, but not all furnaces will accept an add-on application. Some small furnaces, and especially counter-flow or down-flow furnaces, may not be used in an add-on installation.

The CFM (cubic feet per minute) capability between the blower on the existing furnace and the add-on furnace must be compatible. If all of these conditions are met, then the combined static pressure may not exceed that established by the existing furnace.

Before installing your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace, consult your ENERGY KING dealer or heating contractor and your local, state and national building codes and regulations to determine if your existing central heating system is compatible with your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Clearances to Combustibles:

 Sides: The ENERGY KING must have

clearances of 18 inches from the sidewall of the ENERGY KING wood/coal Furnace to combustibles.

 Front: Leave a minimum clearance of 48

inches in front of your ENERGY KING wood/coal Furnace. This is for safe, easy loading and cleaning of your ENERGY KING heating appliance.

 Rear: The minimum clearance from the rear

of the ENERGY KING wood/coal Furnace to combustibles is 28 inches

 Top: The minimum clearance from the top

of the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace to combustibles is 18 inches.

 Stovepipe: Stovepipe must have a

minimum of 18 inches from the rear to combustibles, and a minimum of 20 inches from the sides to combustibles.

 Additionally, when using your

ENERGY KING wood/coal Furnace as an add-on, a 6-inch minimum clearance is required between the ENERGY KING and your existing furnace.

Once it has been determined that your existing furnace will accept an add-on installation, [MANUFACTURER NAME]. recommends a parallel installation, with a direct (ducted) feed of return air to the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Install two backflow dampers to ensure that when either furnace is operating independently, hot air will not flow back through the other furnace.

When using your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace as an add-on, locate the ENERGY KING as close to the new or existing chimney as possible and as close to your existing furnace as practical. However, a minimum clearance of 6-inches is required between your existing furnace and your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Installation

Assembling Your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace

The entire installation should be planned before putting the furnace in place to ensure compliance

with all the requirements outlined in the owner’s manual and any applicable markings on the

appliance. Your new ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace will have been shipped on a pallet with several

boxed components that will need to be assembled prior to installation. Please see Components for a list of everything that was shipped along with your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Once your furnace is placed in your desired location:

1. Remove the protective plastic coating from the outer cabinet of the Furnace before assembling.

2. Cast Iron Grates. Position front and rear cast iron grates in the burn chamber with the flat surface of the hearth plates facing down and the wedged edge facing up into the burn chamber.

3. Firebrick.

Please refer to Appendix C: Firebrick Layout to ensure proper placement of all

firebrick. The following instructions correspond to Appendix C.

The back wall and Row 1 (lower) sidewall firebrick will have been installed in your ENERGY KING at the factory. However, if they have shifted during shipment you may need to make adjustments according to Appendix C.

The Cast Plate “J,” which holds the back

wall firebrick in place, is pre-installed at the

factory. The Angle “G,” which secures Row

1 (lower) sidewall firebrick, is also preinstalled.

The remaining brick and the Angle “H”

needed for completion of the firebrick installation will be separately packaged and found inside the burn chamber.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 11

Install Row 2 sidewall firebricks by first

placing the 2″ wide “B” bricks at the front of

each side of the burn chamber on top of the

“G” Angle. Complete Row 2 of the sidewalls

by positioning the “A” bricks (5 on each

side) on top of the “G” Angle.

Place the Angle “H” on top of Row 2

sidewall bricks to secure in place. Starting at the front of the burn chamber,

position Row 3 “A” firebricks on each side of the unit by placing one end on top of the

Angle “H” and the other end on top of the lip in the center of the unit. Place the 2 l/4″ (“C”) firebrick at the end of Row 3 to

complete the installation. The ENERGY KING 385EK Wood/Coal

Failure to provide adequate combustion air can lead to increased carbon monoxide production and increased emissions of combustion gases into the building, which may cause death or serious injury.

Installation

Combustion Air Requirements

The ENERGY KING Furnace must have a minimum supply

of 70 cubic feet of air per minute.

All fuel-burning appliances must have air (oxygen) for proper combustion. The incomplete combustion that takes place when a solid-fuel appliance is “air-starved” causes carbon monoxide (CO) production in quantities that can be dangerous inside a building. Combustion air from outside may need to be brought in to prevent “air starvation”. Although an outside air source is strongly recommended for all installations, it may be necessary if:

 The Furnace does not draw steadily, smells, experiences smoke roll-out, burns

poorly, or back drafts whether or not there is combustion present.

 Any of the above symptoms are alleviated by opening a window slightly on a calm

day.

 The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight fitting windows

and/or has any powered devices which exhaust house air, such as clothes dryers.

 A ventilation system is installed in the house.

Consult a qualified Furnace installer to analyze whether the air supply in your installation environment is adequate.

Venting System

 Failure to provide correct chimney venting can lead to

increased carbon monoxide production and increased emissions of combustion gases into the building, which may cause death or serious injury.

 Do not connect the ENERGY KING heating appliance to any

chimney flue servicing any other appliance.

 Risk of Fire: Inspect and clean flues and chimney regularly.  Risk of Fire: Do not operate with the flue draft exceeding .06″

(14.95 Pa) water column.

Consult a qualified Furnace installer, your local building inspector and your fire officials to make sure the chimney and all connections conform to all local, state and national codes and regulations.

Your venting system is an extremely important part of any solid-fuel heating appliance installation and has two key functions:

1. To exhaust smoke and flue gases which are the natural result of combustion.

2. To provide “draft.” The draft pulls a continuous supply of fresh air into the furnace for proper combustion.

A chimney connector and chimney make up the venting system and must be properly installed and maintained to protect against a fire. Consult a venting professional.

The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace requires installation into a listed UL103 type HT all-fuel chimney. Minimum 24 gauge black steel chimney connector is required. An existing chimney must be cleaned and inspected to be sure it is clean and free from defect or damage. All connections must comply with NFPA Standard 211 and all applicable building codes and regulations.

When installing a factory-built chimney, follow all installation instructions provided by the chimney manufacturer.

For best performance, [MANUFACTURER NAME]. recommends using insulated chimney rather than triple wall or air cooled chimney.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 17

Important venting installation clearances and points for proper operation and safety:  The connection from the ENERGY KING

Wood/Coal Furnace to the chimney must be made using 6″ black steel material with a minimum 24 gauge. Do not use galvanized steel. See Chimney Connector.

 Secure all connector pipe joints with at least

three sheet metal screws.

 Any horizontal runs of chimney connector

pipe should have a minimum rise of 1/2-inch per linear foot.

 A minimum distance of 18 inches must be

maintained between the chimney connector and combustible ceiling surfaces. A minimum of 18 inches must be maintained between the chimney connector and the backwall and a minimum of 20 inches must be maintained between the chimney connector and sidewalls.

 Avoid using more than two elbows in

connecting the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace to the chimney.

 Use extra support hangers or brackets every

three feet if it is absolutely necessary to have a run of more than six feet, which is not recommended.

 The Chimney must be at least 3 feet higher

than the highest point where it passes through the roof, and at least 2 feet higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10 feet of the chimney, measured horizontally. For best performance, [MANUFACTURER NAME]. recommends a chimney height of at least 12 feet.

Installation

Masonry Chimney

When connecting to an existing masonry chimney, an approved liner must be used in the chimney.

An unlined chimney could remain cold and cause a downward pressure which creates the environment for poor burning, incomplete combustion, or backdraft.

Chimney Connector

The connection from the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace to

the chimney must be made using 6″ black steel material with a

minimum 24 gauge. Do not use galvanized steel. For proper operation, the chimney connector should be as short

as possible. Horizontal lengths of chimney connector should have an upward slope of 1/2-inch per foot. Use extra support hangers or brackets every three feet if it is absolutely necessary to have a run of more than six feet, which is not recommended.

Chimney connector sections must be attached to the heating appliance and to each other with the crimped end toward the heating appliance. Secure all chimney connector pipe joints with at least three sheet metal screws. Avoid using more than two elbows in connecting the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace to the chimney.

Never use chimney connector pipe as a chimney. A minimum distance of 18 inches must be maintained between

the chimney connector and combustible ceiling surfaces. A minimum of 18 inches must be maintained between the chimney connector and the backwall and a minimum of 20 inches must be maintained between the chimney connector and sidewalls.

DO NOT PASS CHIMNEY CONNECTOR THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL OR CEILING.

Risk of Fire: Do not operate with the flue draft exceeding .06″ (14.95 Pa) water column.

Figure 11: Barometric Draft Control

Moderate draft in the chimney will pull the barometric draft control open just enough to maintain the appropriate draft for your heating appliance.

Excessive draft in the chimney will pull the barometric draft control further open, allowing more air into the chimney and reducing the draft.

With no draft in the chimney, the barometric draft control remains closed, allowing no air to enter.

Installation

Barometric Draft Control

Proper draft must be provided for your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace. Draft is the force that moves air from the furnace up through the chimney, and is measured in inches of water column.

The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause the fire to burn too fast, while inadequate draft may cause smoke to back up into the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace, creating a possible hazard.

A barometric draft regulator must be installed into the chimney connector. Please see Figure 13: Barometric Draft Control.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 20

Barometric draft regulators limit the draft (the suction pulling air into the solid-fuel heating appliance burn chamber). A pivoted, counterbalanced flap is pulled open by the draft when the draft reaches a critical amount. This permits air to enter the chimney, thus preventing the draft in the solid-fuel heating appliance from rising any higher.

After installation of the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace is complete and a fire has been built, the chimney draft should be

established and maintained from .04″ to .06″

water column of draft. If this setting is exceeded, it could cause a solid fuel fire to burn out of control.

Page 27

Do not connect the ENERGY KING heating appliance warm air supply outlet into the cold air return inlet of the central furnace. The components of the central furnace could overheat causing the central furnace to operate other than intended.

Installation

Air Duct Installation

The duct or air distribution system circulates heated and/or cooled air to all the conditioned rooms in a house. They must be properly designed and installed to be efficient, maintain uniform temperatures throughout the house, and not adversely affect comfort or indoor air quality.

Important duct system installation details for safe and efficient operation of your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace:

 Every ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace

must be installed with a cold air return. Cold air returns must be equal in size to the heated air outlets, and preferably 10% larger.

 The plenum must be constructed of metal

(minimum 28 gauge galvanized is recommended) and must be installed in accordance with NFPA guidelines.

 The plenum should be 18 inches by 18

inches for the models 385EK.

 The plenum must be no closer than 2 inches

from the ceiling or any combustible material. This clearance is critical during a power outage since excessive heat buildup in the plenum top may be dangerous.

 When connecting the plenum to your warm-

air-supply duct system, never supply less than 150-square inches of constant heated air outlet area.

 The warm-air-supply duct system must be

constructed of materials with a minimum temperature rating of 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

 The ducts, fittings and registers should be

sized so that the total external static pressure does not exceed 0.2.

 Ductwork clearance requirements vary.

Contact your local building or fire officials about installation restrictions and inspection requirements in your area. Ductwork installation must conform to local, state, and national codes and regulations.

Operation

General Instructions

 Do not operate with flue draft exceeding .06″ (14.95 Pa) of

water column.

 Do not operate with fuel loading or ash removal doors open.  Do not store fuel or other combustible material within marked

installation clearances

 Inspect and clean flues and chimney regularly.

Please read this manual in its entirety prior to the first firing of your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace. It is very important that you follow these suggestions and limitations in order to maintain your warranty and to guarantee the long life of your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

This ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace is designed to burn for about 6 to 8 hours per load of wood or coal. If the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace is being fired hot constantly with full flames and operating at only a 2 to 4 hour burn cycle, it is being overfired. Your home heating needs may be too great for the size of heating appliance you have purchased. Forced firing or abuse can be detected upon inspection and will void your warranty.

For greatest efficiency, you may sometimes need to allow your existing conventional heating system to assist your ENERGY KING heating appliance in the coldest weather.

First Fire

Before lighting your first fire, inspect your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace to ensure that it has been properly installed and that all safety requirements have been met. During your inspection, pay particular attention to the clearances to combustibles, venting, and thermostat installation instructions.

Check to make sure that your blowers are in proper working order.

 To check the circulation blower, use the

manual switch on the fan/limit control.

 If you selected Forced Air Draft, you can

check the forced draft blower by turning the wall thermostat supplied with your ENERGY KING heating appliance to a high temperature. If your draft blower turns on, you may set the wall thermostat to the desired setting.

During the warmer seasons of spring and fall, you should control the heat output by limiting the amount of fuel, rather than the air supply. Shorter, hotter fires will allow your ENERGY KING heating appliance to operate at maximum efficiency and with minimum emissions.

For best combustion efficiency, chimney temperature should be 350-degrees F to 450degrees F. [MANUFACTURER NAME] recommends installing a magnetic chimney thermometer to monitor chimney temperature.

Next, make sure that the burn chamber and ash removal pan are clear of all objects. Do not fully load your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace or open all draft controls completely until you become familiar with the operation of your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Some odors may be given off a new ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace during the initial few hours of burning while the steel and the paint are being cured. Ventilating the room until the odors disappear is recommended.

Do not touch Furnace during operation.

Never operate this heating

appliance with both the automatic

and forced draft systems installed

at the same time.

Operation

Typical Operation Cycle

 Do not operate with flue draft exceeding .06″ (14.95 Pa) water

column.

 Do not operate with fuel loading or ash removal doors open.  Do not store fuel or other combustible material within marked

installation clearances

 Inspect and clean flues and chimney regularly. 

After a fire has been established and the operating temperature has been reached, only the thermostat needs to be set to maintain the desired temperature.

When your home cools, the thermostat located in the living area of the home activates the draft control system.

 Automatic Draft: If you are burning wood,

the thermostatically-controlled automatic draft system mounted on the on the side of the furnace must be used for safety and efficiency.

The specially designed air system includes both an automatic damper control and a manual damper control to allow for fine tuning of the burn rate. When the thermostat calls for more heat, the automatic draft damper will open fully, allowing your

chimney’s natural draft to pull combustion air

into air passage on the left side of the furnace; the amount of combustion air is limited by the position of the manual damper control, which can be adjusted to any position between low and high. This combustion air is pre-heated as it flows through the air passage and enters the burn chamber through an airwash system located above the fuel loading door frame.

Your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace can run efficiently over extended periods of time and at different heat output levels as long as the fuel supply is uninterrupted and cleaning and

maintenance are performed routinely.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 23

 Forced Draft: When burning coal, a forced

draft system will provide optimal performance. When the thermostat calls for more heat, the combustion fan turns on, forcing combustion air into your burn chamber.

The manually operated spin dial located on the ash removal door should only be opened to increase the amount of combustion air entering the burn chamber when you are first starting a fire, or when reloading the unit. Once the fire is established, the spin dial should typically be closed.

The 3-speed circulation blower is activated when the temperature sensor of the fan/limit control indicates that air has been heated to the fan/limit control ON temperature setting. The circulation blower pushes air around the burn chamber, through the heat exchanger area and into the plenum.

When the thermostat is satisfied, it will deactivate your automatic or forced air draft control system, allowing the fire to die down until the next time your thermostat calls for heat.

Burning Wood

All home chimneys and hookups are different. After a few fires, you will find the best way to start a fire in your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace is capable of holding very large logs. Do not try to add a log that is larger than what you can easily place in the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace. You will get the best efficiency when you add only the amount of wood needed for a 6 to 8 hour burn. Note: A full load is not always the best solution for your needs.

Starting a Wood Fire

1. Pull the sliding smoke baffle (located above

the fuel loading door) out about 4-inches to open.

2. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in

the center of your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace. Crisscross a couple of handfuls of dry, 3/4″ thick kindling wood, then several small pieces of firewood.

3. It will take 5 to 10 minutes for the fire to

establish itself. Once you have some redhot burning embers, add larger pieces of wood. a. Vary the position of the wood in the burn

chamber to maximize the exposed surface area of each piece of wood.

b. Only use wood properly sized for your

unit’s burn chamber.

4. Push in the sliding smoke baffle after

loading your ENERGY KING and the fire has been established.

5. The burn time is controlled totally by the

24-V Wall Thermostat and either the automatic or the forced air draft controls on the Furnace.

Refueling

To refuel the wood fire in your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace:

1. Pull the sliding smoke baffle out.

2. Open the fuel loading door slowly: open the door about 1″-2″ then wait about 10 seconds before opening fully. Never stand

in front of the fuel loading door when refueling; always stand to the side.

3. Rake the red-hot embers over the grates evenly.

4. Put a few smaller pieces of wood on the coals first, and then load the Furnace with larger pieces of wood.

5. Close the fuel loading door and sliding smoke baffle.

Page 32

Dispose of ashes with care:

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting metal lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

All coal contains small amounts of dangerous elements. Therefore it is essential that your coal ash be disposed of in municipally designated areas.

Burning Coal

Burning coal will provide a lesson in patience. Take the time necessary to experiment and understand the operation of your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Please keep the following points in mind when burning coal:

1. A Barometric draft control in the chimney connector must be used when burning coal.

2. Never completely cover the live fire with fresh coal. Always leave a generous area of burning coal at the top and rear of the fire.

3. Always keep the ash pan clean. Coal firing produces much more ash than wood. These ashes must be removed often (possible daily) in order to avoid piling up too closely to the grates. Removal of the coal ash will allow for passage of primary air to the coal bed and prevent damage or warpage to the grates.

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 26

4. A coal fire should not be poked or broken up, as this tends to bring ash to the surface of the coal bed where it may fuse. If the ash fuses, clinkers will form. It may be necessary to remove all unburned material and ash from the burn chamber to remove the clinkers. These should be carefully removed using tongs, and always put into an airtight metal container.

5. If the fire goes out or does not hold overnight, check for the following:

a. Poor Draft b. Incorrect damper settings. c. Improper firing methods for the coal being

used.

d. Coal is not sized to the furnace (see Fuel

Requirements – Coal).

e. Ashes, if allowed to accumulate in the ash

pan, will not allow the passage of required air for combustion. Keep the ash pan clean.

Starting a Coal Fire

1. Pull the sliding smoke baffle (located above the fuel loading door) out about 4-inches to open.

2. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in the center of your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace. Crisscross a couple of

handfuls of dry, 3/4” thick kindling wood,

then several small pieces of firewood. Wait until the wood fire is established with hot, red embers before adding coal.

3. It will take 5 to 10 minutes for the wood fire to establish itself. Once you have some redhot burning embers, add several small shovels of coal over the wood coals until you have a 2″-3″ bed of burning coals. Be sure to give each small layer about 5-10 minutes to ignite before covering it with the next layer of coal.

4. After the coal fire is established and spread throughout the burn chamber, gently shake the grate until ashes fall in the ash removal pan. Add larger amounts of coal to build up the coal bed.

5. Push in the sliding smoke baffle after loading your ENERGY KING and your fire is established.

6. The burning time is controlled totally by the draft controls on the Furnace. Allow your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace to operate with draft controls fully open for approximately 15 minutes or until the fresh

coal ignites. When the coal is properly ignited, adjust the thermostat accordingly.

Check the fire periodically to make sure it is spreading throughout the coal bed.

Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power at the service panel or breaker box before servicing ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Keep the area around the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace clean and free of dust and debris.

NOTE: EMBERS REMAIN HOT FOR

MANY DAYS. STORE IN A SAFE PLACE

AWAY FROM COMBUSTIBLES.

Maintenance

Periodic maintenance is required to continue the performance of your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace. As with any solid-fuel heating appliance, the need for and frequency of cleaning depends on the amount and quality of fuel burned, the quality of the fire, and the length of time since the last cleaning. Weekly cleaning may be required in warmer weather, whereas monthly cleaning may be enough in colder weather.

Before the first fire of each new heating season, check all installations and accessories to ensure a safe burning process.

Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire, the results of which can be tragic.

Check daily for creosote build up until experience shows how often cleaning is necessary. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited, and that weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather, even though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest months.

Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire.

Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting metal lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all ash and cinders have thoroughly cooled. Do not place any other waste materials in this container.

All coal contains small amounts of dangerous elements. Therefore it is essential that your coal ash be disposed of in municipally designated areas.

Never use a conventional vacuum cleaner or a shop vacuum to remove ashes from a solid-fuel heating appliance. Ashes remain hot for many days, and when trapped in a conventional vacuum can cause a fire hazard. Only use a vacuum designed for the safe cleaning and removal of ashes.

Inspect flue pipes, joints and seals regularly to ensure that smoke and flue gases are not drawing into the home.

Maintenance

Routine Maintenance

Please use the following timeline as a guide for determining how much maintenance your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace requires to operate at peak performance. Failure to clean and maintain this Furnace as indicated can result in poor performance and safety hazards.

Please use E: Purchase & Service Record to keep a record of your maintenance and service practices. In the event of a warranty claim, we may request a copy of this record.

Daily

Until a pattern of cleaning requirement is established, inspect and, if necessary, clean the following components daily:

 Fuel Supply, refilling as necessary.  Flue Pipes, including joints and seals, should

be inspected to ensure that smoke and flue gases are not drawn in and circulated by the air-circulation system.

 Ash removal pan should be emptied and

cleaned regularly. Ash content is a good indicator of fuel efficiency and quality. High quality fuel will produce less ash than lower quality fuel. Never allow ash to build up to the level of the grates.

Every 2 – 3 Days / Weekly

Once a pattern of cleaning requirement is established, the following components should still be monitored on a regular basis:

 Burn chamber  Ash Removal Pan  Flue pipes, joints and seal

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 31

Monthly

The air filter on your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace should be monitored on a regular basis and replaced when necessary.

Seasonally / Every 3 Months / After

every 1 – 2 Tons of fuel burned

Until you are familiar with how ash and creosote accumulate with your operating practices, we recommend inspecting your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace at least once per ton of fuel burned. Particular attention should be given to:

 Draft Control system (blowers, etc.)  Gaskets (Fuel loading and Ash Removal

Doors)

 Air Filter  Fresh air intake  Chimney

Page 38

Cleaning the flue pipe and chimney is especially important at the end of the heating season to minimize corrosion during the summer months caused by accumulated ash.

Maintenance

Annual / Spring Shutdown

It is important to give the entire ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace a thorough cleaning:  Your venting system should be inspected

and cleaned annually. Clean and remove fly ash from chimney connector, flue pipes and chimney. Soot buildup should be removed to prevent the risk of a chimney

 Scoop out any unburned fuel from the burn

chamber, and empty and clean the burn chamber and ash removal pan.

○ Do not allow fuel or ash to sit in the

fire and to minimize corrosion during the summer months.

Failure to clean and maintain this Furnace as indicated can result in poor performance and safety hazards.

Please use Appendix E: Purchase & Service Record to keep a record of your maintenance and service practices. In the event of a warranty claim, we may request a copy of this record.

Remember: A clean Furnace burns efficiently and will remain trouble free!

Rev 03/12/14 ENERGY KING® 385EK Wood/Coal Furnace Owner’s Manual  U. S. 32

Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power at the service panel or breaker box before servicing ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace.

Troubleshooting Guide

Many problems in the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace can be traced to a few commonplace causes and are easily fixed. Before making any repairs or replacing any components, be sure to check for these common problems:

Fuel

 Wet or Dirty fuel Solution: Empty and clean the burn chamber. Refill using only high

quality, clean, dry fuel as outlined in Fuel Requirements.

Improper Draft

 Too little or too much draft  Insufficient combustion air

Solution: Adjust the draft controls and observe until you determine which settings are most appropriate for your usage. See Operation for further information.

Ash buildup in the ash removal pan

Solution: Be sure to maintain your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace’s cleanliness by emptying the ash removal pan regularly. See Maintenance for further information.

We also recommend establishing a routine of inspecting gaskets and replacing when necessary. Maintaining your ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Furnace’s cleanliness and adjusting the draft controls will remedy many problems.

Page 40

Problem(s)

Cause(s) / Solution(s)

Fire won’t start or starts but won’t stay lit, or does not

hold out overnight

 Make sure all Furnace doors are closed tightly and all gaskets are

in good condition.

 Ashes, if allowed to accumulate in the ash removal pan, will block

the passage of combustion air. Verify that your ash removal pan is clean. Never allow ashes to build up to the level of the grates.

 Your exhaust or combustion air systems may be blocked. Verify

all vents and pipes are free from obstruction and the draft controls are operating correctly.

 Check your chimney for downdraft caused by taller surrounding

trees or buildings. The chimney may have to be extended or a chimney vent cap installed. Please contact your ENERGY KING dealer or heating contractor.

Fire is weak, lazy, or dirty, or startup is slow or smoky

 Your exhaust or combustion air systems may be blocked. Verify

all vents and pipes are free from obstruction and the draft controls are operating correctly.

 Your home may have a negative pressure. If your home is too

airtight, the ENERGY KING heating appliance cannot get enough combustion air to burn properly. You may need to bring outside air to the ENERGY KING heating appliance. Please contact your ENERGY KING dealer or heating contractor.

 Check your chimney for downdraft caused by taller surrounding

trees or buildings. The chimney may have to be extended or a chimney vent cap installed. Please contact your ENERGY KING dealer or heating contractor.

Poor combustion or difficulty maintaining a “pilot” fire

 Check the quality of your fuel. Refer to Fuel Requirements.  Your home may have a negative pressure. If your home is too

Smoke is visible or you smell fumes in your home

 Make sure all doors are closed tightly and all gaskets are in good

condition.

 Your exhaust or combustion air systems may be blocked. Verify

all vents and pipes are free from obstruction and the draft controls are operating correctly.

 Your venting may be improperly installed. If the ENERGY KING

heating appliance is smoking from vents, ducts, or from the draft controls, immediately shut down the ENERGY KING heating appliance, ventilate the area, and contact your ENERGY KING dealer or heating contractor.
