Hercules Boiler Model 2
HERCULES MULTIFUEL SAFETY BOILER STOVE
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Thank You
May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing a Hercules, cast iron
Multi-fuel Boiler stove. Please take time to read this manual and follow the guidelines
on how to install and operate your new stove, as we feel sure it will enable you to
use it to its best advantage for many years.
The term multi-fuel refers to the fact that the appliance is capable of burning both
wood and coal. Both of these fuels have very different requirements if they are to
burn correctly. The air controls on the appliance allow the chosen fuel to burn
efficiently. On an open fire, the necessary conditions to allow both wood and coal to
burn is done so at the expense of efficiency, sending more than 80% of the heat
produced straight up into the chimney. The efficiency figures for our M/F stoves are
much higher as there is far greater control over the combustion air entering and
leaving the appliance.
