				Rules for safe installation and operation   
					Read these rules and the instructions carefully. Failure to follow them will cause a   
					hazard that could result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property damage.   
					1. Checkyourlocalcodes. Theinstallationmustcomply 13. CAUTION- The special paints used on your furnace   
					with their rulings.   
					maygiveoffsome smokewhiletheyarecuringduring   
					first few fires., Build small fires at first. The metal   
					usedinconstructionofthefurnaceandductworkhas   
					a light coating of oil. This could give off smoke and/   
					or odor from registers 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.   
					2. Do not install this furnace in a mobile home or trailer.   
					3. Always connect this furnace to a chimney and vent   
					to the outside. Never vent to another room or inside   
					a building.   
					4. 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.   
					14. 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 in not hot. DO NOT   
					use any acids or scouring soap, as these wear and   
					dull the finish. DISCOLORATION WILL OCCUR   
					IF THE FURNACE IS OVERHEATED. FOLLOW   
					OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.   
					5. Be sure that if a masonry chimney is used, it is safely   
					constructed and in good repair. Have the chimney   
					inspected by the Fire Department or an inspector.   
					6. Inspect chimney connector and chimney before and   
					frequently during the heating season for any deposit   
					of creosote or soot which must be removed.   
					15. Keep the feed and ash doors closed at all times   
					except while tending the furnace.   
					7. 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.   
					CAUTION   
					GASES THAT ARE DRIVEN FROM FRESH COAL   
					MUST BE BURNED OR THEY WILLACCUMULATE   
					AND EXPLODE. NEVER SMOTHER A FIRE WHEN   
					ADDING FRESH COAL.   
					8. CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEASONED" TO   
					AVOID CRACKING, BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES   
					ON FIRST USE.   
					9. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this   
					furnace who is unfamiliar with the correct operation   
					of the furnace.   
					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.   
					10. For further information on using your furnace safely,   
					obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection Asso-   
					ciation (NFPA) publication "Chimney's, Fireplaces   
					and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances" NFPA 211. The   
					address of the NFPA is Batterymarch Park, Quincy,   
					MA 02269.   
					CAUTION   
					11. Keep the ashpit section free of excess ashes. Do   
					not allow ashes to stack higher than the sides of the   
					ash pan.   
					NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LAN-   
					TERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER   
					FLUID, OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START OR   
					"FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THE FURNACE.   
					12. DISPOSAL OF ASHES- Place ashes in a metal   
					container with a tight fitting lid. Keep the closed   
					containeronanoncombustiblefloororontheground,   
					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.   
					WARNING   
					NEVERSTOREFLAMMABLELIQUIDS,ESPECIALLY   
					GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF THE FURNACE.

				HOW THE FURNACE FUNCTIONS   
					Your HOTBLAST 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 ProtectionAssociation with installa-   
					tionclearancesspecifiedinthefurnacenameplate   
					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 the   
					requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.)   
					The installation shall be in strict accordance with   
					the manufacturer's installation instructions fur-   
					nished with the solid fuel furnace.   
					PARALLEL INSTALLATION: (U.S. ONLY)   
					The design is such that when the blower comes   
					on, the blower on the central system also comes   
					on. The blower will only come on when the tem-   
					perature 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 ef-   
					ficient for the unit to operate. When the central   
					systemthermostatcallsforheat,thecentralsystem   
					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 HOTBLAST Fur-   
					nace, that it be fired as much as possible in order   
					to reduce the demand on your existing central   
					heating system. This unit has an optional forced   
					draft kit that operates from a wall thermostat.   
					When the temperature falls below the setting on   
					the wall thermostat, the forced draft will come on   
					(U.S. Stove Option 11/DIKL)   
					The warm air supply outlet of the HOTBLAST   
					Furnace shall not be connected to the cold air   
					return of the central furnace, because the possi-   
					bility exists of components of the central furnace   
					overheating and causing the central furnace to   
					operate other than is intended.   
					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 chim-   
					neysuitableforusewithresidentialtypeorbuilding   
					heating appliances which burn solid fuel.   
					SERIES INSTALLATION:   
					This type of installation uses only the blowers of   
					the existing central furnace. The solid fuel fan/   
					limit control must also control the functions of the   
					existing furnace. All electrical power must come   
					from a single branch circuit.   
					TheFurnaceisdesignedtooperateineitherparal-   
					lel or series air flow arrangement with the central   
					furnace or as a central furnace.   
					CENTRAL FURNACE INSTALLATION:   
					As a central furnace, the unit functions indepen-   
					dently of any other system. The blower will come   
					on when the plenum temperature reaches the   
					setting on the blower control.

				Locating the Furnace   
					18"   
					1. The furnace should be located in the same   
					room as the central system and as close as   
					possible, but not closer than 9". There should   
					be no wall between the furnace and the warm   
					air outlet duct that is connected directly to the   
					warm air outlet plenum of the central furnace.

					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. (See Figure 8)

					tween any horizontal piping and the ceiling.(See Fig.   
					5)   
					4. The chimney connector must not extend into the   
					chimney flue. (See Fig. 9)   
					5. Seal each chimney connector pipe joint with furnace   
					cement. Also seal the pipe at the chimney.   
					6. Use 3 sheet metal screws at each chimney pipe joint   
					to make the piping rigid.   
					Figure 8   
					7. The chimney connector may include a section for a   
					barometric draft regulator between the furnace and   
					the chimney (Fig. 6, 7, & 10). The barometric draft   
					regulator must be installed in the same room (same

					tivity of 1.0 Btu • in./ft.² • °F (4.88 kg • cal/hr • m² • °C) or less.   
					2. All clearances and thicknesses are minimums: larger clearances and thickness are acceptable.   
					3. A chimney thimble, as shown for 3" and 4" above (Parts C and D) shall be for types "3" and 4" connections to facilitate removal   
					of the chimney connector for cleaning. The chimney thimble shall be of ASTM C315 fireclay with 5/8" minimum wall thickness, or   
					material or equivalent durability. The inside diameter of the thimble shall be sized for the proper snug fit of a 6" diameter chimney   
					connector pipe. The thimble shall be installed without damage to the chimney flue. The thimble shall extend through the chimney   
					wall to, but not beyond, the inner surface of the chimney flue and shall be permanently cemented in place with high temperature   
					cement.   
					4. A chimney connector to a masonry chimney, except for 2" above (Part B), shall extend through the wall pass-through system to the   
					inner face of the chimney flue, but not beyond. It does not have to be fastened in place so long as it cannot accidently be pulled   
					out of the chimney or shoved into the chimney flue. If fasteners are used to secure the chimney connector to a masonry chimney,   
					the fasteners shall not penetrate the chimney flue liner.   
					5. Any material used to close up any opening for the connector shall be noncombustible.   
					PART E - (Figure 12)   
					In addition to the methods shown by A, B, C, and D of Figure 12, a listed factory-built wall pass-through system may be

					If the chimney connector does not have to pass through a combustible wall to get to a masonry chimney, simply connect   
					the chimney connector directly to the masonry chimney's chimney thimble as described and shown by parts C and D of   
					Figure 12. Remember, the chimney connector should extend into the chimney thimble to the innerface of the chimney   
					flue but not beyond; if the chimney connector is extended through the chimney thimble into the chimney flue, resistance   
					to the flow of smoke and gases up the chimney will occur; that flow resistance will have an adverse affect on the opera-   
					tion and performance of the heater and venting system.

					sembled or installed by the service person:   
					Feed Door Pull Handle   
					Feed Door Locking Handle   
					Blowers and Blower Controls   
					Electrical Connections   
					1. Remove all parts from inside the furnace and in-   
					spect for damage, including the firebrick as some   
					breakage could occur during shipment.   
					2. Assemble the Damper Box Assembly to the Feed   
					Door and the Black Knob to the Damper Box if not   
					already installed. Ensure the damper operates   
					by sliding the knob up and down. Damper should   
					operate freely with slight tension.

					3. Attach feed door locking handle as in Figure 14   
					withscrewsandnutsprovided. Note:Slottedholes   
					are for adjustment of handle. Adjust handle until   
					some pressure is required to lock feed door during   
					firing sequence.   
					4. Install the thermodisc on rear of furnace cabinet   
					with the two screws provided. Mount the conduit   
					assembly from the junction box to the thermostat   
					bracket. Crimp the two female terminals to each   
					ofthewireleads. Plugthewirestothethermodisc.   
					NOTE: It does not matter which of the two wires   
					plugs to which terminal on the thermodisc.

				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 smoke pipe in   
					the chimney with furnace cement. (The chimney   
					connectorshallbesecurelysupported,andjoints   
					fastened with sheet metal screws or rivets.)   
					Installation   
					Please see all methods of Installation at the   
					rear of this booklet.   
					This is a furnace, not a free standing stove. You must   
					directheatedairfrom8"outletsawayfromthefurnace,   
					or it will not function properly.   
					e) Install 8" diameter heat pipe to plenum of the   
					central hot air furnace. Use 26-gauge pipe and   
					connectors (to be purchased separately). If   
					central air conditioning is installed in the plenum,   
					install heat pipe above the air conditioning unit.   
					Secure heat pipe connection with supports and   
					sheet metal screws.   
					1. Thisinstallationmustbedonebyaqualifiedheating   
					equipment installer.   
					2. The installation is to be done in compliance with   
					National Fire Protection Association installation   
					standards: No. 89M, 90B, 211, 70 (National Electri-   
					cal 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.)   
					f) Connectelectricalsupplyintheelectricaljunction   
					box that is mounted on the back of the Furnace.   
					See Wiring Diagram (Fig. 16). 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.   
					3. Rooms large in comparison with size of the appli-   
					ance:   
					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 the "Authority Having Jurisdiction" deter-   
					mine that air is of adequate makeup. (Reference   
					N.F.P.A.Nos.30&54,CodeforInstallationofGas   
					& Oil Equipment).   
					Power Failure Instructions   
					Operation after loss of power:   
					4. Have the"Authority Having Jurisdiction" to inspect   
					all chimneys and installations for adequate venting   
					and for compliance with standard and local codes 1. Remove filter if provided   
					andregulationsregardinginstallationofwoodburn-   
					ing appliances.   
					2. Do not expect to keep home at normal tem-   
					peratures.   
					5. Installation for Supplemental Heat Application to   
					Existing Central System.   
					3. Do not load fuel above bottom of feed door.   
					a) Place Wood or Coal Burning Furnace so that the   
					chimney connector will be as short as practical   
					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   
					heatingsystem,maintainingclearancesasstated   
					on the label on the fuel door.   
					c) Clearancefromcombustiblematerialsmustcom-   
					ply with those stated on the label on the side of   
					the unit. Refer to the clearance table in the front   
					of this manual.   
					The installation must be made only on a noncombus-   
					tible floor.

				Operating Instructions   
					FUEL   
					Models 1357M & 1557M   
					Egg size (1-3/16" or larger) bituminous coal for residential furnaces, or any of the specially packed   
					fireplace coals can be used. Coal with a low ash content (2% to 6%) is recommended.   
					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 the fire and close the feed door.   
					4. Add wood or about 15 lbs. of coal (depending on which model) after fire is burning briskly.   
					5. "MEDIUM" setting is normally satisfactory. Set higher or lower for your comfort.   
					ADDING FUEL   
					When starting a fire, add small amounts of fuel instead of adding large quantities of fuel. This will   
					give more complete combustion and less build-up of tars or soot in the chimney.   
					1. Set thermostat to HIGH before opening feed door.   
					2. Wood fire: Add wood to a convenient level.   
					3. Coal Fire:   
					a.) Never smother the fire when adding coal. Gases from the accumulation smoke will explode   
					under certain conditoins. Add fresh kindling if the bed of coals has cooled.   
					b.) Add up to 20 lbs. of coal per loading. Never add coal above the bottom of feed door opening.   
					c.) Stir the coal and watch the fire. Be sure the new coal is burning briskly before you close the   
					doors and turn the thermostat down.   
					d.) Shake grates vigorously 1/2" left to right to spill ashes into the ash pan. Do this at least once   
					every 12 hours of operation. Empty ash pan regularly. Do not allow ashes to build-up to grate   
					as grate will warp and burnout, and you might spill the ashes when removing the pan. Dispose   
					of hot ashes properly.   
					e.) Rotation of the handle (5 o'clock to 7 o'clock) position will agitate coals and spill ashes into   
					ash pan.   
					f.) It is advisable for you to get familiar with the shaker grate operation before firing.

				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.   
					Service Hints   
					Do not expect a furnace to draw. It is the   
					chimney that creates the draft. Smoke spill-   
					age into the house or excessive build-up of   
					water or creosote in the chimney are warn-   
					ings that the chimney is not functioning   
					properly. Correct the problem before using   
					furnace. Possible causes are:   
					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   
					oranearbytree. Thewindblowingoverahouse   
					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.   
					1. The connector pipe may be pushed into the   
					chimney too far, stopping the draft.   
					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 18 for list of trouble shooting tips.   
					A draft reading of .05 to .06 w.c. is suggested for proper burning of this unit when us-   
					ing wood or bituminous coal as fuel. When using anthracite coal, this draft reading is a   
					minimum reading.   
					Chimney Maintenance   
					Creosote and Soot - Formation and Need for Removal   
					When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and   
					otherorganicvapors,whichcombinewithexpelled   
					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.   
					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,haveyourchimneyinspectedby   
					aqualifiedpersonbeforeusingagain.   
					When coal is burned, the products of combustion   
					combinewithmoisturetoformasootresiduewhich   
					accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this   
					soot makes an extremely hot fire.   
					The chimney should be inspected at least twice   
					monthly during the heating season to determine   
					if a creosote or soot build up has occurred.   
					If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be   
					removed to reduce the risk of a chimney 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.

				Optional Equiptment   
					11DIKL Draft Inducer Kit w/ Limit Swich   
					This optional kit allows your furnace to be thermostati-   
					cally controlled and gives the option to change the on/off   
					times of the distribution blower(s).   
					UFB908 Universal Filter Box   
					When installing ANY warm air furnace, proper installation   
					is the key and required for getting the most efficiency and   
					longest life out of your unit. Failure to install your furnace   
					as outlined from the manufacturer, often will result in in-   
					adequate heating and problems associated with drafting.   
					U. S. Stove Co. offers the UFB908, a universal filter box   
					that mounts to the rear of the unit that your return air duct   
					work will attach to. It uses a standard 16 x 20 x 1 filter   
					(NOT INCLUDED) to reduce the amount of dust particles   
					from being transfered thru you duct work system.   
					11DIKL   
					DR-6 Barometric Damper Regulator   
					In the unlikely event that your furnace “overfires” (a con-   
					dition evidenced by elbows, stove pipes, and connectors   
					glowing red in appearance or otherwise discoloring),   
					then your installation is subject to excessive draft cre-   
					ated by either a chimney too tall or too great in diameter   
					in conjunction with its height, or some other factor of an   
					indeterminate cause. In this event, you should install a   
					barometric draft regulator. Such installation will preclude   
					any over-firing and/or any hazardous consequences of   
					potential overfiring.   
					Barometric draft regulators are generally available where   
					you purchased your stove or may be ordered directly   
					from United States Stove Company at a nominal charge.

					A GUIDE TO BURNING COAL IN YOUR FURNACE   
					Furnaces that are capable of burning coal usually   
					sult, should be fired with the “conical method” - with   
					the highest portion of your fire bed in the center of   
					the firebox. The first flames will be long and gen-   
					erally orange or yellow and produce quite a bit of   
					smoke. As the gases burn off the flames become   
					shorter, change color and produce less smoke.   
					will burn both Bituminous and Anthracite coal. An-   
					thracite is perhaps the best coal fuel because of its   
					long even burn time, high heat output, and clean-   
					liness which make it a good choice for the home.   
					However, keep in mind it is a much more difficult   
					fuel to use, requires more care and patience, is not   
					so widely available, and is usually much more ex-   
					pensive than Bituminous.   
					Once the fire is WELL ESTABLISHED add coal to   
					the center of the firebox forming the cone. Burning   
					in this fashion allows heat to drive off the volatile   
					gases, and turbulence created increases the burn   
					efficiency. There will have to be some experiment-   
					ing with the individual setup as no two chimney’s   
					or installations are going to be the same. Just re-   
					member to allow enough air to enter the firebox and   
					keep the stove pipe damper open so that volatiles   
					are properly burned. Before refueling, take the time   
					to break up the cone a little with a poker, especially   
					if it has caked over or formed a crust. But, be care-   
					ful not to mix the coal as this increases the chances   
					of forming clinkers. When shaking the grate(s) be   
					gentle. Just a few short movements - a couple of   
					“cranks” - is better than a lot of agitation. The objec-   
					tive is to remove a small amount of the ashes with-   
					out disturbing the fire. Stop when you see a glow in   
					the ashes or the first red coals fall into the ash pan.   
					Excessive shaking wastes fuel and can expose the   
					grate(s) to very high temperatures which can cause   
					warpage or burnout.   
					SIZE OF COAL:   
					Most sizes of Bituminous Coal will work in a coal   
					furnace; for best results we recommend large “nut”   
					coal to small “egg” coal (1-3/4” diameter to 4” diam-   
					eter). When burning Anthracite, use “egg” or “bro-   
					ken” with sizes between 2-5/16” thru 4-3/8”. Note   
					that it is important to the long life of your stove to   
					buy coal which has been sized and cleaned. Clean-   
					ing insures removal of rocks and other minerals.   
					Never use coal smaller than 1” or larger than 5” in   
					diameter. Small sized coal will smother the fire. Too   
					large a size of coal will not burn well.   
					STOVE OPERATION:   
					All coal fires should be started with wood which will   
					allow the fire to get hot enough to ignite the coal.   
					The best ignition fires utilize dry pine or other resin-   
					ous soft woods as kindling, with hard wood (oak,   
					hickory, ash) added to increase the heat prior to ad-   
					dition of the coal.   
					For overnight operation (long duration burn time)   
					shake the fire and add coal, retaining the cen-   
					ter cone. Once the volatiles are burned off, close   
					the feed door and adjust the stove pipe damper, if   
					epuipped. Then adjust the thermostat to the desired   
					heat level.   
					Before starting the fire, open the stove pipe damper   
					(if epuipped), turn the thermostat to high, open the   
					ash pit door and feed door, place newspaper and   
					finely split kindling on the grate, light the paper, add   
					larger hard wood after the kindling is burning bright-   
					ly. CAUTION: Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, ker-   
					osene, charcoal lighter fluid, or other flammable liq-   
					uids to start or freshen up a fire in any heater. Place   
					the larger pieces of wood on the fire so that they are   
					slightly separated and form a level for the addition   
					of coal. It will take 10 to 20 minutes before this wood   
					is thoroughly ignited. Adding coal too soon will cut   
					the air supply and smother the fire.   
					More MAINTENANCE will be needed with bitumi-   
					nous coal than with anthracite coal as more soot will   
					collect on heating surfaces and in pipes, requiring   
					more frequent cleaning.   
					ANTHRACITE:   
					Add a thin layer of coal (preferably smaller chunks)   
					to the wood fire, being careful not to disturb it too   
					much or cut off the draft. Then, add a second heavi-   
					er layer after the coal is ignited and burning well.   
					If necessary, add a third layer to bring the coal up   
					to the top of the front liner (not above!). Be sure to   
					close the ash door.   
					BURNING BITUMINOUS:   
					Once your kindling and wood fire has produced a   
					bed of well established coals, start adding coal in   
					layers allowing each to ignite before adding more.   
					Bituminous has a high volatile content and, as a re-

					Before adding further fuel, be sure to leave a red   
					BANKING THE FIRE:   
					spot of glowing coals in the center of the firebox to   
					insure that the fire has not been smothered and to   
					help ignite the gases given off by the new charge. A   
					deep charge will give a more even heat and a lon-   
					ger fire, but it may take one to two hours before the   
					whole bed is fully ignited.   
					For extended operation, such as overnight, the fire   
					will need to be banked. To do so heap coal up along   
					the sides and back of the firebox so that the fire   
					gradually burns it over a longer period of time. The   
					intensity of the fire will also be reduced without let-   
					ting it go out. Follow the same procedure as for refu-   
					eling. If possible, avoid shaking, as a heavier layer   
					of ash will help reduce the intensity of the fire during   
					this time. After loading, let the fire establish itself   
					for about 30 minutes. Then close your damper and   
					automatic control to the point where the house does   
					not become too cold. It is important that you begin   
					banking early enough before retiring or leaving that   
					you can make necessary adjustments after the fire   
					is well established.   
					When the fire is well established and the room is   
					becoming warm, partially close the dampers. Some   
					experimenting will have to take place with each par-   
					ticular setting of all dampers and controls as the   
					chimney provides the draft necessary to not only   
					exhaust the smoke, but to pull combustion air into   
					the heater as well - and no two chimney’s perform   
					the same. Under ideal draft conditions, one should   
					be able to turn the secondary air supply below the   
					feed door (some models) to a near closed position -   
					but leave the ash pit damper at least partially open   
					to prevent the fire from going out. Adjust the stove   
					pipe damper to reduce the draft on the fire. With   
					anthracite there will be short blue flames above the   
					coal, except when the fire is started or a new charge   
					is added. If, however, there is no flame then the fire   
					needs more air from the bottom (unless it is near the   
					end of its burn cycle and needs to be recharged).   
					To revive a coal fire that is almost out, (1) open the   
					ash door and stove pipe damper and close the spin   
					damper under the door to get a good draft through   
					the grate. (2) place a thin layer of dry coal over the   
					entire top of the fire. DO NOT POKE OR SHAKE   
					THE FIRE AT THIS TIME! (3) after the fresh coal   
					has become well ignited shake the grate (just a lit-   
					tle), refuel.   
					DO NOT burn coke, charcoal, high volatile bitumi-   
					nous coal, sub bituminous, lignite or cannel coal   
					(sometimes called channel coal or candle coal).   
					Only when the coal is burned down to half its origi-   
					nal depth it is time to add fresh coal. When doing so,   
					open the stove pipe damper and turn the thermostat   
					damper to high, which will allow the fire to burn off   
					any accumulated gases. Open the feed door, and   
					with a small rake, hoe, or hooked poker pull the   
					glowing coals to the front of the firebox. Try not to   
					disturb the fire too much. Next, add a fresh charge   
					to the back being careful not to seal off the top.   
					Close the feed door, but leave the spin damper (or   
					thermostat) open for a few minutes until the volatile   
					gases have burned off. It is not necessary to shake   
					down the ashes each time you refuel the furnace.   
					Experience will be your best teacher.   
					NEVER burn wax or chemically impregnated saw-   
					dust logs - their intended use is for fireplaces only.   
					NEVER fill the stove or furnace above the firebrick   
					or cast iron liner.
