Furnace Clearances and Operation Before beginning your installation, consult with local authorities regarding the codes governing all such installations. DO NOT connect your Fire Chief Furnace to any flue that is servicing ANY other appliances. The Fire Chief Furnace may be placed outdoors or indoors. If outdoors, it must be placed on a level, non-combustible base, preferably a 4’ x 8’ concrete pad, as close to the home as clearances to combustibles permit – do not place the furnace more than 30 feet from the house. The furnace must be connected to a grounded electrical circuit with access to a backup generator (2000 watt minimum). If locating the furnace more than 10’ from the home, a minimum of 6’ of Class “A” HT 2100 All Fuel 6 inch Chimney Pipe is required. If installing indoors, your furnace must be placed on a non-combustible floor. Air for combustion must be provided into the room where the furnace is located. Allow air free access to furnace for combustion and ventilation. Maintain the following clearances: Class “A” HT 2100 All Fuel 6 inch Chimney Pipe is required for optimum performance and must maintain a 2 inch clearance from combustibles. The Fire Chief Furnace will ship with an anchor plate and four #10 ¾” galvanized screws with washers and gaskets to match the chimney your dealer supplies. If the anchor plate provided with your furnace does not fit the chimney your dealer has in stock, please call our toll free number, 1-800-875-4788 for assistance. IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that different chimney manufacturers’ pipe will not interchange with other brands. Before using the silicone to install the anchor plate to the top of your Fire Chief Furnace, ensure the chimney you purchased will fit the anchor plate. Guy wire brackets are attached to the sides of the Fire Chief Furnace. A heavy gauge of stainless steel wire can be purchased from your dealer or at a local hardware store to use as guy wire to help support your chimney. It is recommended to use Roof Guy Kit (part #SHPURK). Attach the appropriate chimney pipe lengths to the adaptor plate finishing with a chimney cap. IMPORTANT: Your furnace requires its own chimney system and cannot share a flue with any other product. DO NOT USE GALVANIZED OR BLACK PIPE TO VENT YOUR FURNACE. • Front = 48 inches • Rear = 12 inches • Sides = 6 inches • Heat Duct = 6 inches for the first 16 inches from the back of the furnace, and 3 inches beyond Once you have met local requirements governing the installation and positioning of the furnace. Install thermostat and plug power cord into a grounded 110 volt electrical outlet. Open the Electrical Control Kit and confirm that all items were shipped with your Fire Chief Furnace. IMPORTANT: ENSURE THE POWER CORD IS PLUGGED INTO A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. Do NOT connect the furnace to your ductwork at this time. Build a small fire – DO NOT fill the firebox to full capacity during the initial firing. Your new furnace has a protective coating of oil or paint on the surface, which could produce smoke or odors during the initial firing and will burn off. Allow adequate ventilation during this initial, break-in firing to let any odors escape. This initial firing also allows the metals to cure. After successfully completing the initial firing, you are ready to attach the hot air duct and cold air return to complete your installation. See diagram below. This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
