Fire Chief® Operator Manual | FC1900

ALWAYS:

• Locate the Fire Chief Furnace on a level, solid, non-combustible surface. • Follow local codes concerning installation requirements. • Connect power cord to a grounded 110 outlet. • Connect cold air return to the house. • Use Class “A” HT2100 All Fuel 6 inch chimney. • Follow guidelines within this manual regarding burn procedures. • Operate furnace with fuel door and ash door closed. • Inspect the furnace several times a year to ensure furnace caulking is adequate. • Inspect chimney pipe for creosote formation. • Use dry, seasoned hardwood and always keep your wood covered. • Have access to a backup generator in case of power failure, minimum of 2000 watts. NEVER: • Allow anyone to operate the furnace that is not familiar with the unit. • Operate with fuel door or ash door open. • Use gasoline, oil, or any other flammable liquid to start or maintain the fire. • Burn garbage, plastic, wood containing glue or wood that has been treated with chemical preservatives. • Operate your furnace without a backup power supply, or generator. • Fuel your furnace with wet, unseasoned wood. • Use 90° elbows when running ductwork. • Operate the furnace without the chimney attached. • Alter the furnace in any way. CAUTION: HOT SURFACES. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT TOUCH DURING OPERATION. CAUTION: • INSPECT FLUE PIPES, JOINTS AND SEALS REGULARLY TO ENSURE THAT SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWING INTO, AND ARE NOT BEING CIRCULATED BY THE AIR-CIRCULATION SYSTEM. • CLEANING OF THE FIREBOX, STOVE PIPE, AND CHIMNEY, IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END OF THE HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS CAUSED BY THE ACCUMULATED ASH. • Never use chemicals or gasoline to start or maintain your fire. • Do not burn oil, garbage, trash, plastic, or any fuel other than wood in your furnace. Doing so will void the warranty. WARNING: – RISK OF FIRE • DO NOT operate with flue draft exceeding .08 water column inches (19.9 Pa). • DO NOT store fuel or other combustible materials within marked installation clearances. • Inspect and clean flues and chimney regularly. • DO NOT operate your furnace with the fuel door or ash door open.
