OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
(WOOD
SECTION)
Proper
draft
in the
wood
section
will
not be
achieved until
2" to 3" of ash is
built
up in the
firebox. This
can be
readily
accomplished using softwoods, which creates
ash
quickly
or use
clean sand (with
"no
salt"
in
it).
Caution:
DO NOT fire
this boiler
until
all
requirements
are
complete
and the
operating instructions
are
fully
understood.
NOTE:
Your
oil
burner
may
start even when
the
wood
fire
is on.
This
is
caused
by
large amounts
of
heat being
taken
from
the
unit. This
is
normal,
as the oil
burner will boost
the
water temperature around
the
coils ensuring
ample
domestic
hot
water.
NORMAL
OPERATION
1.
The oil
burner
will
start
if the
system temperature
is
below
the
setting
on the oil
control aquastat.
2.
The
damper motor opens
the
damper door
if the
temperature
of the
boiler
falls
below
170 F.
3.
The
thermostats control
the
opening
of
zone valves.
The
primary (House) circulator runs when
the
zone
thermostats call
for
heat.
4.
Should
an
extreme
fire
cause
the
high
limit
switch
to
close,
the
damper motor will close
the
damper
door,
the
normally open
(N.O.)
zone valve will open
and the
circulator will start.
The oil
burner
will
not be
able
to
start
Note:
Establish
a
routine
for the
storage
of
fuel,
care
of the
appliance,
and
firing
techniques. Check daily
for
creosote build
up,
until
experience
shows
how
often
cleaning
is
necessary.
Be
aware
that
the
hotter
the fire, the
less
creosote
is
deposited
and
weekly cleaning
may be
necessary
in
mild weather even though monthly cleaning
may be
enough
in the
coldest months. Have
a
clearly understood plan
to
handle
a flue fire.
