CHAPTER 8

INSTALLATION OF THE HEATMOR™ FURNACE

Installation should be performed by a qualied installer and will comply with all the requirements of

the authority having jurisdiction over the installation.

Principles

1) Need to have an airtight seal between the concrete base and the perimeter of the rebox base.

2) Need to seal the perimeter of the entire HEATMOR™ so rodents are not able to nd a home inside

the HEATMOR™.

3) Need to lift the HEATMOR™ without damaging it.

Equipment Required

1) It is not possible to lift a HEATMOR™ with the forks of a forklift under the HEATMOR™. It must be lifted from the top, by the lifting hook. A crane or heavy backhoe works best, although a heavy duty farm tractor is acceptable. a) With a farm tractor, extreme care must be taken to prevent the HEATMOR™ from swinging and causing damage to the HEATMOR™.

Placing the HEATMOR™ on the Concrete Base

2) Before setting the HEATMOR™ onto the concrete base, it is a

good idea to place a solid sheet of the proper “reective air foil” (also called

bubble foil) between the concrete and the HEATMOR™. This will absorb ridges in the concrete and make it easier to apply caulking around the inside

perimeter of the base of the HEATMOR™. This reective foil will also reect escaping heat up into the sand, and help prevent air leaks into the rebox if cement cracks.

3) Make sure the total area of the base (where the sand is going) is on solid concrete. Do not let the base extend past the hole in the concrete where the lines come in.

4) After the HEATMOR™ is in place perform the following;

Lift Hook

Caulking around the Firebox Base

a) One person should get into the HEATMOR™. b) Apply a substantial bead of caulking around the entire inside perimeter of the base. This will give an airtight seal so no air will seep through the sand. This should require about three tubes of High Temperature Silicone.

Caulking around the Outside Perimeter of HEATMOR™

c) With a sharp knife, trim any excess bubble foil that extends past the base of the HEATMOR™. d) Apply a bead of caulking around the entire outside

Filling the HEATMOR™ Outdoor Furnace Initially with Water

Before lling your HEATMOR™ furnace with water, all plumbing connections at the back of the HEATMOR™

furnace, all electrical hookups, and all heating appliances should be installed and tested for possible leaks.

HEATMOR™ suggests the use of brass ttings when installing the unit.

If you have any questions regarding installation of the furnace or any aspect of installation, contact your local dealer.

Note: Never start a fire inside the firebox until the water jacket is full of water, and sand has been added to the base to the correct level.

1) Close the bladder gate valve located at the front of the HEATMOR™ furnace. This valve will ensure no water can enter the bladder.

2) Close the bottom supply line valve at the back of the HEATMOR™.

3) Open the top return line valve at the back of the HEATMOR™.

4) Remove the weighted ball on the roof of the stove from the relief vent pipe.

5) Connect the water source to the return line leading to the HEATMOR™. Use a garden hose to add the water to the return line.

6) Turn on the source of water.

7) The pressured water will now ow through and remove the air out of the return line as the water ows into the HEATMOR™.

8) Continue adding water until water ows out the relief vent pipe, onto the

roof of the HEATMOR™.

9) Turn off the source of water.

The HEATMOR™ is now full of water and the return line is also full of water and air free, BUT the supply line leading from the HEATMOR™ to the building to be heated is still full of air.

Rear of Furnace

10) Close the top return line valve at the back of the HEATMOR™.

11) Remove the garden hose that was used to deliver the source of water from the top return line, BUT leave the garden hose valve open.

12) Open the bottom supply line at the back of the HEATMOR™ (bottom). The pressure of the water in the HEATMOR™ will now force water from the HEATMOR™ through the supply line back into the building to be heated. This water will soon discharge from where the garden hose

was connected. When there is a steady stream of water owing, the air will be removed from that supply line. Usually it requires the removal of approximately ve gallons of water to ensure the line

is air-free.

NOTE: The circulator pumps cannot “push” much air through a system. They are designed to move water not air.

13) Start the circulating pump. Remember to properly bleed air from the pump.

ABSOLUTELY NO FIRE IN THE FIREBOX WHEN PERFORMING THIS REPAIR. DO NOT

PERFORM THIS REPAIR WHEN UNIT WATER TEMPERATURE IS UNSAFE. ALWAYS WEAR PROPER

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN WORKING WITH WATER AND CHEMICALS.

Maintaining the Correct Amount of Water in the Bladder and in the HEATMOR™

1) Close the bladder gate valve located at the front of the HEATMOR™ furnace. Closing this valve will ensure no water can enter the bladder.

2) Remove the weighted ball from the relief vent pipe.

3) Connect the water source to the return line leading to the HEATMOR™. Use a garden hose to add the water to the return line.

4) Turn on the source of water, but only about half a full ow.

5) The pressured water will now ow through the return line as the water ows into the HEATMOR™.

6) Continue adding water until water ows out the relief vent pipe, onto the roof of the HEATMOR™.

Leave the water running. Some may continue to spill out onto the roof.

7) Place the weighted ball back onto the relief vent pipe.

8) Turn on the green bladder gate valve and let the bladder ll half full. You can check this by feeling the

bladder with your hand inserted through the bladder inspection cover plate.

9) Turn off the water when the bladder is half full.

Low Water Condition

If the water level is below the bladder port when the water heats up, air will enter the bladder instead of water. To remove the air from the bladder, follow steps 1 through 7 above and make sure there is a good seal on the weighted ball. Next:

1) Open the bladder gate valve.

2) CAREFULLY remove the bladder hose, allowing the bladder to empty its contents.

3) After bladder is empty of air/water, re-attach the bladder hose to the bladder gate valve and tighten the hose clamp.

Next, follow steps 7-9 above.

NOTE: NEVER LIGHT A FIRE INSIDE THE FIREBOX UNTIL THE WATER JACKET IS FULL OF WATER, AND SAND HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE BASE TO THE CORRECT LEVEL.

INSTALLATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER AND WILL COMPLY WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE INSTALLATION.

READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR HEATMOR STAINLESS STEEL OUTDOOR FURNACE.

Initial Installation of Sand

Types of sand to use

1) Sand that does not contain clay, rocks or organic matter is appropriate. Use a sand that when packed will not allow air to pass through. Mortar sand, or sand that is used in the redi-mix concrete

business is good. Never use gravel.

2) Model 100 CSS furnaces require approximately 0.18 cubic yards, Model 200 – 0.25 cubic yards, and Model 400 – 0.38 cubic yards of sand.

Installation

1) Cover the grates with a piece of cardboard.

2) One person enters the rebox.

3) Another person shovels the sand into the rebox while the

person inside packs the sand completely, using a piece of wood like a 2 x 4 x 10 inches long.

4) Fill the base with sand, level to the top of the grates.

NOTE: NEVER LIGHT A FIRE INSIDE THE FIREBOX UNTIL THE WATER JACKET IS FULL OF WATER AND SAND HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE CORRECT LEVEL IN THE BASE.

CHAPTER 9

SAFE FURNACE OPERATION GUIDELINES

OPERATION

HEATMOR™ OUTDOOR FURNACES, MODEL 100 CSS, 200 CSS, AND 400 DCSS ARE CERTIFIED TO BURN WOOD AND APPROVED COAL ONLY. CONTACT HEATMOR FOR APPROVED COAL TYPES.

Coal should only be burned in a HEATMOR™ Furnace equipped with a Shaker Grate System.

Burning of other materials may result in serious burns, health consequences, or damage to this furnace and other components of the heating system and may void warranty.

***IMPORTANT NOTICE***

PLEASE REFER TO “FILLING YOUR HEATMOR™ FURNACE WITH WOOD,” FOR ADDITIONAL SAFE LOADING PROCEDURES.

1) Never open the rebox door if the combustion air blower is operating or if you suspect a roaring hot re inside the rebox.

2) Never open rebox door immediately after the combustion air blowers have shut off. If the water

temperature is very close to the high setting, you should assume the air combustion fans have just shut off.

3) If there is more than a “wiff” of smoke coming from the chimney and the draft fan is off, do not

open the rebox door for at least two minutes. The burn cycle would have just ended and the rebox

will be full of unburned gases (smoke) that may ignite when fresh air is introduced.

4) Load the unit with wood carefully, but quickly. After loading wood make sure all debris is cleaned

from the rebox doorframe and gasket. Then close rebox door securely.

5) Keep the rebox door, ash auger tube cover cap, top ue cover plate, and the outer door of the

HEATMOR™ furnace closed at all times except for servicing and refueling.

6) Keep the locking handle on the outer door locked at all times when not servicing or refueling to reduce the risk of tampering and possible injury.

7) Never add water to the HEATMOR™ furnace if the internal water temperature is over 212 degrees

Fahrenheit. Failure to adhere to this warning may cause a steam ash and result in an explosion.

8) Do not store combustible liquids or materials near the outdoor furnace. Adhere to the “Clearance to Combustibles” guidelines.

9) Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal, lighter uid or similar liquids to start, re-start or freshen up a re. Using such liquids may result in severe burns and injury.

10) When adding water, water treatment or maintaining the HEATMOR™ furnace, protective clothing must be worn at all times.

11) Never leave the HEATMOR™ furnace unattended while the rebox door is open or unlatched.

12) Stay clear of any smoke emitting from the rebox.

13) Do not burn garbage, tires, solvents, engine oil, gasoline, or other inappropriate materials.

14) Store ashes outside, in a metal container with a metal tight tting lid, away from the outdoor

furnace and other buildings. No other waste should be placed in this container.

15) Wear a particle mask when removing ashes.

16) Ash auger may be hot after removing ashes.

17) In case of power failure, do not open any doors on the HEATMOR™. Monitor the water temperature very closely. Refer to “freeze protection” in this manual.

18) In below freezing weather, if the water temperature in the HEATMOR™ drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, drain all water from the HEATMOR™ immediately (if there is no anti-freeze in your system).

19) Water additives supplied with a HEATMOR™ do not give any freeze protection.

20) Always remove the weighted pop off ball before removing more than 5 gallons of water from the HEATMOR™.

21) Check daily for creosote buildup until experience shows how often cleaning is necessary.

22) Be aware that the hotter the re, the less creosote is deposited, and that weekly cleanings can be

necessary in mild weather, even though monthly cleanings can be enough in the coldest months.

Lighting the HEATMOR™ for the First Time

When lighting the HEATMOR™ furnace for the rst time, all installations must be complete and the furnace must be full of water. It is recommended to open bladder valve, reinstall the pop-off ball, and then build re to

bring the water up to temperature.

The lighting process is fairly simple. Please use the following steps simply as a guideline or contact your local dealer for further instruction. Read the entire manual before lighting, so you have a complete working

knowledge of the furnace. Ask for a demonstration from your local dealer. It is very important to fully educate all persons who will be lighting and fueling the HEATMOR™ furnace.

PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL “LIGHTING YOUR HEATMOR™” STEPS BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR FURNACE.

1) Remove the weighted pop off ball from the relief vent pipe, on top of the HEATMOR™ furnace.

2) Close the green valve, supplying the bladder, located at the front of the stove.

3) Ensure that the furnace is full of water by running ve gallons of water onto the roof of the

HEATMOR™.

4) Ensure that there is 115-volt electrical power supplying the HEATMOR™ furnace.

5) Place some small pieces of wood (ve pounds) with paper into the rebox.

6) Place a few larger pieces of wood (20 pounds) on top of the smaller pieces.

7) Light the re.

8) Leave the re box door partially open to allow the re to start burning. The rebox door should only

need to be open about two inches. At this point the smoke should go up the chimney and not out

the rebox door.

9) Once the re is burning rather briskly, close the re box door and turn off the light switch which in

turn will make the combustion air blower(s) operate.

10) Operate the blowers for approximately 10 minutes.

11) Turn off the blowers. Wait a few seconds to allow the combustion to decrease.

12) Open the rebox door and add a substantial amount of wood to the rebox.

13) Turn on the blowers.

14) Securely close the rebox door and outer door.

NOTE: Before the furnace is red up, the furnace is lled with water. While the furnace is lling with water, the bladder is shut off to prevent excess water into the bladder, preventing over ll. When the furnace is freshly lled the water temperature is approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit. When the furnace is full of water you will

notice water coming out onto the roof from the relief vent pipe. At this point the water should be turned off and

the bladder valve opened. After the furnace is red up, the water temperature will start to increase. While the

water temperature rises, the water will expand as it heats up, causing the excess water to go into the bladder.

It will go into the bladder because it is the place of least restriction. This is another reason why we do not ll the bladder initially, too much water in the bladder at cooler temperatures could cause the bladder to overll at

higher temperatures caused by the expansion of the water during temperature rise.

DEW POINT

NOTE: As the temperature inside of the rebox is increasing, there will be some sweating inside the rebox. There may be streams of water running down the inside rebox walls and down the inside of the rebox door. Water may run out onto the fan cover, below the rebox door, and even out the auger tube. THE HEATMOR™

IS NOT LEAKING!

Just as moisture collects on the inside of a warm house window on a cold outside day, the same thing is

occurring inside the HEATMOR rebox. The warm moisture in the smoke is condensing on the cold rebox walls of the HEATMOR. In most typical situations, once the water temperature is above approximately 130 degrees Fahrenheit, the sweating will stop because you are above the dew point.

Loading Wood into the HEATMOR™

Please read through the entire HEATMOR™ Operation and Maintenance Manual and talk to your local dealer for instruction. Ask for a demonstration from your local dealer. It is very important to fully educate all

those who will be loading the furnace with wood.

Loading a large amount of wood into the HEATMOR™ furnace once a day is not always best. We have found

that you have a more efcient re and produce less smoke when you add fuel twice a day. Example: Half of the days’ demand in the morning and half in the evening. The number of loadings and the amount of wood needed will vary depending on the amount of heat being removed.

Here are some suggested points to assist you in loading your furnace.

1) Make sure you have your fuel readily available to ll your furnace. (ie. a wheelbarrow full of wood

near the furnace)

2) Maintain a clear, clean area in front of the furnace.

3) Open the outer front door. This allows you access to the inner rebox door as well as opens the anti- rollout device. This allows air into the rebox to decrease the possibility of the exhaust igniting and creating a “ash back” before you open the main rebox door.

4) Turn on the light switch. The light should turn on and the combustion air blowers should turn off if they were operating correctly.

5) Standing to the right, next to the exterior door, with your left hand and your left arm outstretched,

move the re box door handle out of the safety latch.

6) Crack the rebox door open about two inches and allow any pressure left over in the rebox to

escape.

7) Open the rebox door as you step backwards towards the exterior door. This allows you to be out of the way if there is a “ash back” or exhaust exiting the door opening.

8) Set the rebox door handle into the holder provided on the outer door.

9) After all exhaust has been eliminated, give the ashes over the grates a light stirring with a long rake.

10) Add the necessary fuel to the rebox, being careful not to push ashes into the air boxes.

11) Close the rebox door and latch securely.

12) Turn off the light switch. This will return power to the blowers and turn off the light.

13) Close and lock the exterior door.
