SECTION VIII: CARE AND MAINTENANCE

(Unit must be cool and power unplugged

before performing any maintenance)

A. Gaskets

Each unit comes with a rope gasket around the door, which should be

replaced at least every two years. To replace the gasket, the old gasket

material should be removed and the door channel scraped free of any

adhesive. You can then add the new adhesive and the gasket

(Part AC-DGKC) and close the door. The door should be closed for at

least twenty-four hours to allow the adhesive to harden.

B. Firebrick

This furnace is equipped with high density, high temperature firebrick. Any

brick that become chipped or cracked, especially on the sides of the

firebox, need to be replaced.

C. Finish

This unit is coated with high-temperature paint that will retain its original

look for several years. If the unit should get wet, rust spots may appear;

these can easily be covered with this high-temperature spray paint (plain

steel wool can be used to remove the rust spots before repainting). Please

contact your dealer or the factory for this paint, as other brands may not

adhere to the surface of this furnace.

D. Blower and Thermostat

This furnace comes with a 850 CFM blower (Part BM-1376). Over a

period of time the intake of the blower can become clogged with lint or

dust, and it will require some cleaning. To do this, unplug the blower from

the power source and remove the screws that hold the blower to the stove

(be sure the stove is cool before doing so). Then unscrew the motor from

the blower and remove it, along with the impeller. A vacuum cleaner can

be used to remove the foreign material from the intake. Reverse this

procedure to re-mount the blower to the furnace.

The AC-1339 thermostat requires no maintenance. It activates the blower

when the firebox temperature rises to 125 degrees Fahrenheit; it also

deactivates the blower when the temperature drops to 95 degrees

Fahrenheit. By shutting off at 95 degrees, it allows the furnace to recover

as the heat is extracted from the unit and forced through the duct system.

We recommend that you leave the thermostat at the factory settings

until the unit has been burned for at least 30 days.

manual for part numbers.
