Troubleshooting
1.
Problem: Bugs found in wood.
Possible Causes:
Remedies:
• Inspect the wood for obvious signs of insect infestation such as burrows or holes, avoid using if possible. Do not store wood indoors.
• Wood has rotted or has been laying around for an extended period of time.
Problem: Building does not achieve comfortable temperature. Possible Causes: Remedies: 2.
• Improper ductwork connection to existing furnace. • Improperly sized ducting. • Excessive dirt accumulation in air filter. • Poor chimney draw, resulting in the furnace not providing enough heat. • Inadequate insulation of the building . • Furnace size is inadequate for your building . • Slide cover on draft blower is “CLOSED.” • Fueling furnace with wet or unseasoned wood.
• Refer to information in the manual relating to the proper installation procedures or contact your local heating and cooling contractor. • Refer to information in the manual relating to the proper ducting procedures or consult your local heating and cooling contractor. • Check and replace filter.
• Increase height of chimney (refer to “10/2 Rule” on page 4.) This will help the furnace to achieve more efficient and hotter temperatures.
• Provide additional insulation.
• Consult a professional to determine correct sizing.
• Open slide cover to an opening of approximately 3/8 inches.
• Completely avoid using if at all possible. If circumstances necessitate the use of wet or unseasoned wood, then fuel the furnace with smaller loads. This will cause the thermostat to call for heat more often, which will initiate the running of the draft blower. Consequently, the fires will be hotter, thereby reducing the accumulation of creosote. • Inspect return air duct from the blower housing to the building , seal any openings with aluminum duct tape.
• Outside air is being pulled into the return air duct, reducing the heat output in the building .
3.
Problem: Heat dump lid on top of furnace has opened. Possible Causes: Remedies:
• Power failure.
• Use backup generator as power source immediately! Replace the heat sensitive fuse link. • Correct the over-heating problem and restore power to the furnace. Replace the heat sensitive fuse link before firing the furnace again.
• Furnace has over-heated and the heat release lid has opened.
