Dear Customer, You have purchased one of the finest wood burning heating systems in North America. You will find that your Ardent Energy furnace will operate much differently than the old fashioned fireboxes of the past. You will experience a new level of heating comfort and convenience, with greater control, longer burn times and reduced creosote deposits. Please take the time to become familiar with your Ardent Energy heating system.
Furnace Operation SAFETY WARNING: If this furnace is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation requirements in your area. NOTE: We strongly recommend installers to be WETT or WHERF certified. To ANYONE using this furnace: 3. DO NOT use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or freshen up the fire in this furnace.
Furnace Operation The chimney should be inspected periodically during the heating season to see if a creosote build-up has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (1/4" or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire. Running the furnace at maximum with the bypass pulled out for 1 to 2 hours about once a week will minimize creosote buildup. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS The following operating instructions must be followed carefully for satisfactory operation.
