Tundra Furnace Installation and Operation Manual

 DO NOT INSTALL AN AUTOMATIC FEEDER ON THIS FURNACE.

 DO NOT INSTALL A MANUAL DAMPER ON THIS FURNACE.

 THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1.2 Smoke detector

We highly recommend the use of a smoke detector. It must be installed at least 15 feet

(4.57 m) from the appliance in order to prevent undue triggering of the detector when

reloading.

1.3 Chimney fire

A Chimney fire will happen when the flame from an uncontrollable fire ignites the sooth

and creosote deposits in a neglected venting system. It will often happen when burning

cardboard, branches or small dry pieces of wood. The first signs of a chimney fire are:

1. A rumble.

2. Smoke pipe becomes extremely hot.

3. Sparks or even flames shoot out of the chimney

In the event of a chimney fire, first call your local fire department and water the roof

in the vicinity of the chimney.

Make sure that the furnace door and the air intake damper are closed (if need be, lower

the thermostat setting and CLOSE the barometric draft damper manually if one is installed.

In the event of uncontrollable fire (caused by wrongful operation or excessive chimney

draft), follow the same procedure as in a chimney fire but you must then OPEN the

barometric draft damper manually if one is installed.

1.4 Prolonged power outage

To reduce the risk of overheating during a prolonged power outage (more than 10

minutes), it is recommended damper is closed. If your furnace is equipped with the

optional filter, remove the air filter to improve the circulation of air around the combustion

chamber of the Tundra furnace. Do not load the furnace more than 50 percent of its

capacity to prevent the risk of overheating,
