Do not install this furnace in a mobile home or trailer.
Always connect this furnace to a chimney and vent to the outside. Never vent to another room or
inside a building.
Do not connect this furnace to an aluminum Type B gas vent. This is not safe and is prohibited by the
National Fire Protection Association Code. This furnace requires a masonry or listed factory built
chimney for residential type or building heating appliance chimney. Use a 6" diameter chimney or
larger, that is high enough to give a good draft. (See Page 8)
Be sure that if a masonry chimney is used, it is safely constructed and in good repair. Have the
chimney inspected by the Fire Department or an inspector.
Inspect chimney connector and chimney before and frequently during the heating season for any
deposit of creosote or soot which must be removed (see Chimney Maintenance, page 21.)
Provide air for combustion into the room where the furnace is located. If the intake is not in the same
room, air must have free access to the room.
CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEASONED" TO AVOID CRACKING. BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES
ON FIRST USE.
To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this furnace who is unfamiliar with the correct operation
of the furnace.

For further information on using your furnace safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) publication "Chimney's, Fireplaces and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances" NFPA
211. The address of the NFPA is Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
Keep the ashpit section free of excess ashes. Do not allow ashes to stack higher than the sides of the
ash pan.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES - Place ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Keep the closed
container on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials. Keep
the ashes in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. The ashes may be buried
in the ground or picked up be a refuse collector.
CAUTION - The special paints used on your furnace may give off some smoke while they are curing
during first few fires. Build small fires at first. The metal used in construction of the furnace and duct
work has a light coating of oil. This could give off smoke and/or odors from registers when furnace is
used for the first time. This should disappear after a short period of time. Once this burn-off has
occurred, it should not reoccur.

15.
Your Furnace is designed to be installed in a parallel air flow arrangement with a gas or oil-fired
forced air upflow-type central furnace, or it may be installed as a central furnace.
CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS - This furnace has a painted outside jacket, which is durable but it
will not stand rough handling or abuse. When installing you furnace, use care in handling. Clean with
soap and warm water when furnace is not hot. DO NOT use any acids or scouring soap, as these
wear and dull the finish. DISCOLORATION WILL OCCUR IF THE FURNACE IS OVERFIRED.
FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Keep the feed and ash doors closed at all times except while tending the furnace.
HOW THE FURNACE FUNCTIONS
Your Supplemental Furnace is designed to be
a supplemental or central heating source for your
home. This solid fuel furnace may be installed in
conjunction with a properly operating central furnace that is listed or certified in accordance with
nationally recognized safety standards and
equipped with the required controls and other
safety features and which has been installed with
appropriate standards of National Fire Protection
Association with installation clearances specified
in the furnace nameplate marking. The installation
must be accomplished by a qualified agency (one
who is engaged in, and is responsible for, or is
thoroughly familiar with the installation and operation of the gas, oil, and solid fuel burning heating
appliances, who is experienced in such work,
familiar with all precautions required, and has
complied with all the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction.) The installation shall be in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions furnished with the solid fuel furnace.
The chimney connector of the furnace is to be
installed to provide clearances to combustible
material not less than specified in the individual
classifications and marked on the furnace. The
chimney connector must be connected to a chimney suitable for use with residential type or building
heating appliances which burn solid fuel.
The furnace is designed to operate in either
parallel or series air flow arrangement with the
central furnace or as a central furnace.
PARALLEL INSTALLATION: The design is such
that when the blower comes on, the blower on the
central system also comes on.
The blower will only come on when the
temperature in the plenum has reached the setting on the blower control. This is to insure that
there is sufficient warm air in the system to make
it efficient for the unit to operate. When the central
system thermostat calls for heat, the central system will operate by the burner igniting and the
blower coming on. It is possible that both systems
will operate simultaneously. It is recommended
that for the most efficient use of your
Supplemental Furnace, that it be fired as much as
possible in order to reduce the demand on your
existing central heating system.
The warm air supply outlet of the
supplementary furnace shall not be connected to
the cold air return inlet of the central furnace
because the possibility exists of components of
the central furnace overheating and causing the
central furnace to operate other than is intended.
CENTRAL FURNACE INSTALLATION: As a central furnace, the unit functions independently of
any other system. The blower will come on when
the plenum temperature reaches the setting on
the blower control.

CHIMNEY CONNECTION
FIG. 4
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Before using an existing masonry chimney, clean the chimney and inspect the flue liner to be sure it is safe to use.
Make repairs before attaching the furnace. See Page 4, item 5. Look at Fig. 4. The connector pipe and fittings
you will need to connect directly to a masonry chimney are shown.
The chimney connection should be as short as possible. If the connector pipe must go through a combustible wall
before entering the masonry chimney, consult a qualified mason or chimney dealer. The installation must conform
to local fire codes, and N.F.P.A. 211.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS FURNACE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
The chimney used for a furnace must not be used to ventilate the cellar or basement. If there is a cleanout opening
at the base of the chimney, close it tightly.
FIG. 5
LISTED FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
Carefully follow chimney manufacturer's instructions. Use only a Listed Residential Type or Building Heating
Appliance Chimney. If your chimney starts at the ceiling (Fig. 5), you will need enough 6" pipe to reach the ceiling.
The top of the chimney must be at least 3 feet above the roof and be at least 2 feet higher than any point of the
roof within 10 feet (Fig. 5).

RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
The crimped end of the chimney connector
1.
fits inside the furnace flue collar. Install
additional chimney connector and elbow
with the CRIMPED END TOWARD THE
FURNACE. This will allow any condensation in the flue to run back into the
furnace. Use 6" dia. (minimum 24 gauge)
black chimney connector.
Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the
2.
chimney at least 1/4 inch for each foot of
horizontal run.
You must have at least 18 inches of
3.
clearance between any horizontal piping
and the ceiling. (See Fig. 3)
The chimney connector must not extend
4.
into the chimney flue (See Fig. 6).
Seal each chimney connector pipe joint with
5.
furnace cement. Also seal the pipe at the
chimney.
Use 3 sheet metal screws at each chimney
6.
pipe joint to make the piping rigid.
The chimney connector may include a sec-
7.
tion for a barometric draft regulator between
the furnace and the chimney (Fig. 4, 5, 6, &
7). The barometric draft regulator must be
installed in the same room (same pressure
zone) as the furnace.
Install the barometric draft regulator strictly
8.
in accordance with the instructions that are
provided with the barometric draft regulator.
A solid damper can be placed between the
9.
barometric draft regulator and the chimney. (Fig. 4, 5, 6, & 7)
FIG. 6
Adjusting the
Barometric Draft Regulator
Drill a hole in the chimney connector within
1.
18" of the flue collar below the barometric
draft regulator just large enough for the
tube of the manometer.
Build a fire after all chimney connections
2.
have been made.
Use a manometer to measure the draft in
3.
the flue. (U.S. Stove Model DG-26)
Adjust the barometric draft regulator to
4.
obtain a draft of 0.05" - 0.06" W.C. under
stable conditions.
