Operating and Maintenance Instructions


The furnace must be installed, adjusted and maintained only by a qualified service
agency annually. Have your unit inspected, cleaned and adjusted at least once a year to assure proper
operation. Do not tamper with the unit or controls. Incorrect operation of the unit could result in
severe personal injury and property damage.

Never attempt to use gasoline in the furnace.

Never store gasoline or other combustible materials near the burner or appliance. The area around the
furnace should be kept clear of all combustible materials.

Never attempt to burn garbage or refuse in the furnace.

Never attempt to light the furnace by throwing burning material into the furnace.

Never attempt to use crankcase or waste oil or materials other than the approved fuel oils in this
furnace.

Never restrict the air inlet openings to the burner.

Do not attempt to start the furnace when excess oil has accumulated in the chamber or the furnace is
full of vapors.

Cleaning

Cleaning the heat exchanger must be done yearly by a qualified service technician.

It is important to inspect and clean the heat exchanger once annually or as necessary to remove any
build up of soot. A layer of soot on the inside surface of the heat exchanger will result in reduced
efficiency.

1. Turn off all power to the furnace.
2. Remove clean out caps and the flue pipe.
3. Remove the burner and burner mounting plate. Extreme care must be used when removing

the burner mounting plate as the ceramic fiber combustion chamber is directly attached to
the burner mounting plate.

4. With access to the inside of the heat exchanger through the cleanout openings, burner

opening, and vent opening use a soft flue brush to remove any soot build up.

5. Vacuum any loose debris. Do not use a vacuum on the combustion chamber.
6. Inspect heat exchanger and combustion chamber.
7. Replace the burner mounting plate with chamber, burner, vent pipe and burner. Replace

any of the gaskets which would not be able to provide an adequate seal.

8. Clean and readjust the oil burner as required.


Oil Burner

Refer to the oil burner instruction manual provided with the burner for proper
maintenance and service.

Burner Components: If replacement of burner parts is necessary, always use parts recommended by
the manufacturer. Specify part number and description when ordering.
