a. The unit does not vent steadily, smell, experiences smoke rollout, burns poorly, or

back drafts whether or not there is combustion present.

b. Any of the symptoms listed above are alleviated by opening a window slightly on

a calm day.

c. The house is sealed with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight fitting windows and

doors and/or has any powered devices, which exhaust house air.

Additional Canadian Operation Requirements.

1. Store Corn, wheat, rye or pellets in sealed containers in a dry environment to prevent

the fuel from absorbing moisture and becoming damaged.

2. Creosote formation and Cleaning.

a. Establish a routine for the storage of fuel, care of the Furnace and Firing

Techniques.

b. Check Daily for Creosote build-up until experience shows how often cleaning is

necessary.

c. 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. Run the furnace on the hottest setting once a day

for 30 – 45 minutes to prevent excessive build-up in the furnace.

d. Keep the doors closed and all seals in good condition while operating the furnace.

e. INSPECT THE FLUE PIPES, JOINTS AND SEALS REGULARLY TO

ENSURE THAT SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWN INTO,

AND CIRCULATED BY THE AIR-CIRCULATION SYSTEM.

f. CLEANING OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER, FLUE PIPE, CHIMNEY AND

DRAFT INDUCER IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END OF THE

HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE SUMMER

MONTHS CAUSED BY ACCUMULATED ASH.

g. Do Not Use Chemicals or Fluids to Start The Fire.

h. Do Not Burn Garbage, Gasoline, Naphtha, Engine Oil, or Other Inappropriate

Materials

i. The Furnace will not operate during a power failure, unless a Battery Back-up

system is used during brief power outages. Prolonged Power Outages will require

the use of a Generator to operate the Furnace.
