Also, 5 holes are aligned with the fold of the top of the furnace on the right side and three holes on the other sides. This allows you to secure the plenum properly. Install the assembly on the furnace, taking care to insert the 4 fold on top of the furnace inside the plenum.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 5.4 Configuration and restrictions of hot air distribution system 5.4.1 Start-off plenum - The plenum can be adjusted from 64" (163 cm) to 88" (224 cm) depending on ceiling height. See Section 5.1: Hot air distribution plenum height according to ceiling height. - The start-off plenum must have a minimum height of 24" (610 mm) from the top of the furnace (X). In this case, use only the section of the plenum (the one with the 10 openings).
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 5.4.2 Installing the start-off adapters After choosing your output configuration, do the following to install the start-off adapters. Warning: Use gloves to complete the following steps because the start-off adapters and caps can be sharp. 1- Cut a notch in the flange of adapter (A) and slightly fold down one side of the flange to facilitate installation.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual - Block the unused outlets with the block-off caps (B) and provided screws (D). FAVOR THE USE RIGID DUCTS BECAUSE THERE ARE LESS RESTRICTIVE TO AIR FLOW. - The maximum run of a main duct is 35’ (10.7 m). It must be reduced from 6" (152 mm) to 5" (127 mm) after 20' (6.1 m) or reduce the main duct by 1" (25 mm) at every two secondary duct outputs. - The maximum length of all the main ducts is 180’ (54.9 m).

HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 7.4.1 The use of a thermometer The first use of a thermometer is to inform the user about the discharge temperature of flue gases. Without accurate measurement of the draft using a pressure gauge (manometer), the thermometer will indicate if the temperature is ideal, too low or too high. The use of a thermometer is therefore an acceptable alternative that can tell if the chimney is hot enough to generate an adequate draft.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual Appendix 1: Optional thermostat installation Using a thermostat will help you maintain a constant temperature throughout the house. A fixed wall mounted 24v thermostat is required. Note: Thermostat manufacturer’s instruction always overrides the information published in the following section.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual Example of thermostat wiring: Connect one wire to "HR" and the other wire to "W". The red jumper can be left in place. For more information, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. This furnace may be installed in parallel as an add-on to an existing furnace in the USA only. Such an installation requires that the furnace’s controls be interlocked to prevent both furnaces from heating at maximum rate simultaneously.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 2- From the thermostat connected to the existing furnace, connect 2 new wire (B) on the R and W terminals of your thermostat and fix them to the terminal on the circuit board labeled "I" (interlock) of the Add-On furnace (see Figure 1).
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual Appendix 2: Optional air filters (AC01390, AC01391) The filter option (AC01390 – cardboard frame or AC01391 – washable aluminum) allows filtrating dirt before distribution warm air in your installation in addition of protecting your blower. This system can be installed on any side of the blower box located behind the furnace on the most accessible side of your installation.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual Appendix 3: Optional Fresh air return adapter (AC01392) The optional air return adapter (AC01392) can be added to the furnace blower box to increase the efficiency of your system. This option allows you to take in the fresh air from the rooms connected to the return system and bring it back towards the furnace to be heated. This option can be installed on either one of the 3 sides of the blower box.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual PART 2 – OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Please see Part 1 for installation instructions. Please see Part 3 for features and safety instructions. 7.5 How to prepare or buy good firewood 7.5.1 What is good firewood? Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the furnace, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is reduced to 15 to 20 per cent. 7.5.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 7.5.4 Piece size Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit logs are difficult to ignite because they don’t have the sharp edges where the flames first catch. Logs as small as 3" (76 mm) should be split to encourage drying. Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3" to 6" (76 mm to 152 mm) in cross section.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual Here are some things to consider in estimating drying time: • • • • • • • • • • • firewood takes a long time to dry firewood bought from a dealer is rarely dry enough to burn, so it is advisable to buy the wood in spring and dry it yourself drying happens faster in dry weather than in damp, maritime climates drying happens faster in warm summer weather than in winter weather small pieces dry more quickly than large pieces split pieces dry more quickly t
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 8 Operating your furnace 8.1 Your first fires Two things will happen as you burn your first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components of the furnace are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapours are not poisonous, but they do smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also cause false alarms in smoke detectors. So, when you first light your furnace, be prepared by opening doors and/or windows to ventilate the house.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 8.2.2 The top down fire The top down fire starting method solves two problems with the conventional method: first, it does not collapse and smother itself as it burns; and second, it is not necessary to build up the fire gradually because the firebox is loaded before the fire is lit. A top down fire can provide up to two hours of heating or more. The top down method only works properly if the wood is well-seasoned.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual When you burn in cycles, you rarely need to open the furnace’s loading door while the wood is burning. This is an advantage because there is more chance that smoke will leak from the furnace when the door is opened as a full fire is burning. This is especially true if the chimney connector has 90 degree elbows and if the chimney runs up the outside wall of the house.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 8.3.3 Firing each new hot load Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal, and not too close to the glass. Close the door and open the air control fully. Leave the air control fully open until the firebox is full of flames, the wood has charred to black and its edges are glowing red.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual DETAIL B DETAIL A 8.3.5 Building different fires for different needs Using the air control is not the only way to match the furnace’s heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in October than in January to be kept at a comfortable temperature. If you fill the firebox full in fall weather, you will either overheat the space or turn the furnace down so much that the fire will be smoky and inefficient.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 8.3.5.3 High output fires for cold weather When the heat demand is high during cold weather, you’ll need a fire that burns steadily and brightly. This is the time to use your biggest pieces of hardwood fuel if you have it. Put the biggest pieces at the back of the firebox and place the rest of the pieces compactly. A densely built fire like this will produce the longest burn your furnace is capable of.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual Reducing the combustion air will do two things. First, the combustion rate will decrease, which will spread the thermal energy of the fuel over a longer period of time. In addition, the velocity of the exhaust gas decreases, which allows better heat transfer in the heat exchanger and chimney. The closure of the main air intake reduces the intensity of the flames which indicates the achievement of optimum performance.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 8.5 Manual or thermostat control From factory, the opening and closing of the air inlet damper is manually activated by the means of a switch located at the rear of the furnace. The switch has two positions; opened and closed. Position of the air control rod when the switch in the “closed” position.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 9 Maintaining your wood heating system 9.1 Furnace maintenance Your new furnace will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat. You should always replace defective parts with original parts (see Section 11: Exploded diagram and parts list).
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual If you do get brown stains on the glass you can remove them with special cleaners for wood furnace glass doors. Do not use abrasives to clean your furnace’s door glass. The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the quality of your fuel and how well you are doing in operating the furnace. Your goal should be clear glass with no brown stains.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 9.1.4 Replacement of the glass and gaskets After a year or more of use, the gasket of the door will compress and become hard which can allow air to pass. You can check the air tightness of your door gasket by closing and locking the door on a piece of paper. Check all around the door. If the paper slides easily anywhere, it is time to replace the gasket. Use a good quality gasket that you can purchase from your dealer.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 10. Install the new door gasket (A). To do this, use about 1/4" (6 mm) of adhesive to the bottom of the groove that holds the gasket in the door. Then lay the new gasket starting from the center of the hinge side and taking care not to stretch the gasket during installation. Leave about 1/2" (13 mm) of gasket exceed the frame of the door. Once jointed, push the fibers protruding towards the inside of the groove in the adhesive.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 9.1.6 Heat exchangers care Heat exchangers must be cleaned thoroughly at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air in basements is damper and with minimal air circulation within the furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the exchangers to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel. Corrosion damages are not covered under warranty.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 2. Move the baffle of the combustion chamber forward. 3. Use the tool provided, clean the three exchanger pipes.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 4. Dirt in the lateral exchangers (1 and 3) fall into the combustion chamber at the rear. 5. Dirt in the central exchanger (2) will be removed from the front or the rear of the furnace. If you remove dirt from the central exchange to the back of the furnace, remove the black pipe connector in order to dispose of the dirt. 6. Then, check that the baffle is clear of ash and reposition it in its original position towards the back of the combustion chamber.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 7. Close the exchanger access door and secure it using the washer (C) and wing nut (B). 8. If you have performed maintenance from the back part of the furnace, reinstall the black pipe connector and secure it with three screws. 9.2 Chimney and chimney connector maintenance 9.2.1 Why chimney cleaning is necessary Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney connector and chimney, forming a combustible deposit called creosote.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 9.2.3 Cleaning the chimney Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job. If you don’t have experience cleaning chimneys, you might want to hire a professional chimney sweep to clean and inspect the system for the first time. After having seen the cleaning process, you can decide if it is a job you would like to take on. The most common equipment used are fibreglass rods with threaded fittings and stiff plastic brushes.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 10 Troubleshooting PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS Heating inefficient during the first combustions. Lack of draft. Improper adjustment of the barometric damper (opened too wide). Chimney flue restriction (too long. 90o elbows) Adjust the damper, minimize the smoke pipe length and use 45o elbows. Furnace burns well, warm air plenum is very hot but there is not much heat coming out in the room.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 10.1 Installation of secondary air tubes and baffle 1- Starting with the rear tube, lean and insert the right end of the secondary air tube into the rear right channel hole. Then lift and insert the left end of the tube into the rear left channel. 2- Align the notch in the left end of the tube with the key of the left air channel hole. Using a “Wise grip” hold the tube and lock it in place by turning the tube as shown in Detail B.
HeatMax II Furnace Installation and Operation Manual Note that secondary air tubes (A) can be replaced without removing the baffle board (B). Important Notes: The air tubes are identified for placement as follows: 62 Model Type of tube HEATMAX II Front (1) ► 106 holes of 0.109" Middle front (2) ► 53 holes of 0.109" Middle rear (3) ► 53 holes of 0.109" Rear (4) ► 53 holes of 0.
