ue res. NEVER burn plastics, any wood product containing glue, parafn, or wood treated with chemical preservatives in your furnace.
The combustion of these substances may release harmful, toxic gases.
DANGER: RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION – do not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, engine oil, or other ammable liquids/inappropriate
materials.
Outside Combustion air may be necessary if:
• The solid-fuel-red appliance does not draw steadily, smells, experiences smoke rollout, burns poorly, or back-drafts
whether or not there is combustion present. Opening a window slightly on a calm day alleviates these symptoms.
• The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight tting windows, and/or has any powered devices
which exhaust house air.
• There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
• A ventilation system is installed in the house.
BURN WOOD AND COAL ONLY!
First Wood Fire:
Set the wall thermostat to 90°F. Check to make sure the spin draft is wide open to allow oxygen into the rebox. Make sure the switch for
draft blower is in the ON position. Adjust slide cover on draft blower to an opening of approximately ⅜ inches.
Place several crumpled newspapers on the grate with some dry kindling layered on top of the papers, then ignite the newspaper. When
the kindling is burning, add several small pieces of wood, allow wood to fully ignite. After about 20 minutes the re should be established,
allowing you to add more wood – do not overload which would smother the re. Add more wood slowly, so the ames have time to engulf
the fresh wood. Once the re is burning and there is a glowing ember bed, adjust the draft to achieve desired burn pattern. Learning
how to adjust the draft to maintain the desired temperature for your home may take several days. After a short time you will know which
settings and adjustments work best for your home. Set the wall thermostat to the desired home temperature.
Do not over-re the furnace. Over-ring by overloading/over fueling the furnace causes the metal to superheat and expand, then cool
rapidly, which causes cracking, therefore voiding the warranty. Over-ring or abuse can easily be determined upon inspection.
It will take about 40 minutes to establish a bed of hot embers. Once you have achieved the hot ember bed, add larger pieces of rewood
and push the bypass rod all the way in. Within 30 to 40 minutes, adjust the spin draft and the damper to obtain optimum performance.
Finally adjust the wall thermostat and draft blower cover to a comfortable setting.
NOTE: Your new Shelter Furnace is capable of producing a very high output of BTUs. Do not fuel your furnace to capacity upon initial
ring. It’s recommended that you become thoroughly familiar with your Shelter Furnace before operating at full capacity.
The new steel and metal components of the furnace have a protective coating or paint on the surface which could produce an odor during
the break in period. Adequate ventilation within the home and furnace room or area is recommended during the initial ring and break in
