Check your local codes. The installation must comply with their rulings. 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 to use a masonry chimney that 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 18). 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 "Chimneys, Fireplaces, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances" NFPA 211. The address of the NFPA is Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. Keep the ash pit 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 by a refuse collector. CAUTION - The special paints used on your furnace may give off some smoke while they are curing during the 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 s 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. 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 your 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.

Your furnace is designed to be installed in a parallel air flow arrangement with a gas or oil- fired forced air flow - type central furnace, or it may be installed as a central furnace. 4

How The Furnace Functions Your Model 1303 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 in accordance with appropriate standards of the 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 Model 1303 Furnace is designed to operate in a parallel air flow arrangement with an existing central furnace or as a central furnace. The furnace is designed to operate in either of the following installations:

PARALLEL INSTALLATION: The design is such that when the blower 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.

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). 8

Rules for Connector Pipe Installation 1. The crimped end of the chimney connector fits inside the furnace flue collar. Install additional chimney connectors 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. steel pipe and elbows for connection to chimney. Never use less than 24 gauge and although blued steel is satisfactory, high temp painted black is much more desirable. 2. Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the chimney at least 1/4 inch for each foot of horizontal run. 3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance between any horizontal piping and the ceiling. (See Fig. 3) 4. The chimney connector must not extend into the chimney flue. (See Fig. 6) 5. Seal each chimney connector pipe t with furnace cement. Also seal the pipe at the chimney. 6. Use 3 sheet metal screws at each chimney pipe t to make the piping rigid. 7. The chimney connector may include a section for a barometric draft regulator between the furnace and the chimney (fig. 4,5, &7). The barometric draft regulator must be installed in the same room (same pressure zone) as the furnace. 8. Install the barometric draft regulator strictly in accordance with the instructions that are provided with the barometric draft regulator. 9. A solid damper must be used in the chimney connecting pipes between the flue collar and the chimney. When used in conjunction with a barometric draft regulator, the solid damper must be placed between the barometric and the chimney. (See Fig. 4,5,7)

Adjusting the Barometric Draft Regulator 1. Drill a hole in the chimney connector within 18" or the flue collar below the barometric draft regulator just large enough for the tube of the manometer. 2. Build a fire after all chimney connections have been made. 3. Use a manometer to measure the draft in the flue, (U. S. Stove Model DG-26). 4. Adjust the Barometric Draft Regulator to obtain a draft of 0.05 - 0.06" W.C. under stable fire conditions. 9

Installation

Pipe to combustible: Sides: 21" Back: 18" The installation must be made only on a noncombustible floor. d) Install the smoke pipe connector to the chimney with 26-gauge pipe and elbows (to be purchased separately), maintaining the proper clearances for the specific model. Seal the spoke pipe in the chimney with furnace cement. (The chimney connector shall be securely ed, and ts fastened with sheet metal screws or rivets.) e) Install 8" diameter heat pipe to plenum of the central hot air furnace. Use 26-gauge pipe and connectors (to be purchased separately). (See Fig. 14) If central air conditioning is installed in the plenum, install heat pipe above the air conditioning unit. Secure heat pipe connection with s and sheet metal screws. f) Connect electrical supply in the electrical junction box that is mounted on the back of the Model 1303 Furnace. See Wiring Diagram (Fig. 12 or Fig. 13). Remove the cover from electrical junction box and connect power supply wires to wires designated, using wire nuts. The power cord supplied may be used for installation, if permitted by local codes and regulations. If the power cord supplied cannot be used, the power supply wiring must be 90 degrees centigrade in a metal cable and should be completed by a qualified installer complying with NFPA Standard No. 70 and local codes. g) Optional Plenum Fan Control Switch (Part No. 11PCS) is available for installation on the plenum of central hot air heating furnace. The purpose of this switch is to activate the circulating fan of the central hot air heating furnace when the temperature in the plenum exceeds 120 degrees F., and shut off the fan when the temperature in the plenum is reduced to 100 degrees F. This avoids overheating the plenum. The electrical supply for operation of this fan control switch is to be obtained from the same electrical supply as the central hot air heating system. (See Fig. 14) Follow the instructions of the wiring diagram (Fig. 5) Do not make connections across Limit Control in the furnace. Make electrical wire connections in accordance with NFPA Standard No. 70 and local codes in the power supply junction box (See Fig. 15). The wiring to complete the connections should be 18 AWG minimum copper and 90 degrees centigrade in a cable.

Please see all methods of Installation in Appendix at the rear of this booklet. This is a furnace, not a free standing stove. You must direct heated air from 8" outlets away from the furnace, or it will not function properly. 1. This installation must be done by a qualified heating equipment installer. 2. The installation is to be done in compliance with National Fire Protection Association installation standards: No. 89M, 90B, 211, 70 (National Electrical Code) and Uniform Mechanical Code 913, 6-4, in the states where applicable. (Their code offers connecting smoke pipe connectors into chimney with other fuel burning appliances.) 3. Rooms large in comparison with size of the appliance: a)Wood or Coal Burning Furnace needs air for combustion and circulation to house. b) Provision must be made to make up this air and not starve gas or oil furnace of combustion air. c) Have "Authority Having Jurisdiction" determine that air is of adequate makeup. (Reference N.F.P.A. Nos. 30&54, Code for Installation of Gas & Oil Equipment). 4. Have "Authority Having Jurisdiction" is to inspect all chimneys and installations for adequate venting and for compliance with standard and local codes and regulations regarding installation of wood burning appliances. 5. Installation for Supplemental Heat Application to Existing Central System. (See Fig. 2 for typical installation.) a) Place Wood or Coal Burning Furnace so that the chimney connector will be as short as practicable and avoiding unnecessary sharp turns in the smoke pipe connector and the installation of devices that would create excessive resistance to the flow of flue gases. b) Locate the Wood or Coal Burning Furnace as close as practical to the existing central hot air heating system, maintaining clearances as stated on the label on the fuel door. c) Clearance from combustible materials must comply with those stated on the label on the fire door: Unit to combustible: Front: 48" Back: 30" Sides: 12" Plenum to Ceiling: 6" 12

Operating Instructions ADJUSTING BLOWER LIMIT CONTROL SETTINGS The temperature in the plenum of the warm air furnace at which the blower turns on or turns off, is controlled by the setting of the pointers in the blower limit control. (See Fig. 12) These pointers may be adjusted to achieve the desired warm air output from the furnace. (See Fig. 12 Below)

FUEL, MODEL 1303 Hardwood, 18" to 26" should be split and air dried (seasoned) for 6 months. LIGHTING 1. Set the thermostat on "HIGH" for maximum draft. 2. Open the feed door and place paper and kindling on the grate for starting the fire. 3. Light fire and close feed door. 4. Add wood after fire is burning briskly. Be careful not to smother the kindling fire. 5. Set thermostat for desired temperature. "MEDIUM" setting is normally satisfactory. Set higher or lower for your comfort. ADDING FUEL When starting a fire, use small amounts of fuel. This will allow for more complete combustion and less buildup of tars or soot in the chimney. 1. Set thermostat to HIGH before opening feed door. 2. Wood Fire-Model 1303- Add wood to a convenient level.

1. Moving both pointers toward the right (counter clockwise)- this increases the temperature setting at which the blower will turn on and off. 2. Moving both pointers toward the left (clockwise)- this decreases the temperature setting at which the blower will turn on and off. 3. Moving the pointers away from each other will increase the time that the blower will run on each warm air cycle.

CAUTION! DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE FEED AND/ OR ASH DOOR OPEN. THIS FURNACE IS DESIGNED FOR THERMOSTATIC OPERATION. OPERATION WITH ANY OF THESE DOORS OPEN WILL OVERHEAT AND DAMAGE THE FURNACE.

WARNING! NEVER STORE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF THE FURNACE. 17

Service Hints Do not expect a furnace to draw. It is the chimney that creates the draft. Smoke spillage into the house or excessive buildup of water or creosote in the chimney are warnings that the chimney is not functioning properly. Correct the problem before using furnace. Possible causes are:

4. If the chimney is operating too cool, water will condense in the chimney and run back into the furnace. Creosote formation will be rapid and may block the chimney. Operate the furnace at a high enough fire to keep the chimney warm, preventing this condensation.

1. The connector pipe may be pushed into the chimney too far, stopping the draft (Fig. 6)

5. If the fire burns well, but sometimes smokes or burns slowly, it may be caused by the chimney top being lower than another part of the house or a nearby tree. The wind blowing over a house or a tree, falls on top of the chimney like water over a dam, beating down the smoke. The top of the chimney should 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).

2. Do not connect two furnaces or a stove and furnace into the same chimney flue. 3. 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, it must be closed tightly.

6. See page 19 for list of trouble shooting tips. A draft reading of .05 to .06 w.c. is suggested for proper burning of this unit when using wood.

Chimney Maintenance Creosote and Soot - Formation and Need for Removal

If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

Chimney fires burn very hot. If the chimney catches fire, immediately call the fire department, then reduce the fire by closing the inlet air control. Pour a large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda or cool ashes on top of the fire in the firebox.

When coal is burned, the products of combustion combine with moisture to form a soot residue which accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this soot makes an extremely hot fire.

CAUTION A chimney fire may cause ignition of wall studs or rafters which you thought were a safe distance from the chimney. If you have a chimney fire, have your chimney inspected by a qualified person before using again.

The chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote or soot build up has occurred. 18
