Rules for safe installation and operation
Read these rules and the instructions carefully. Failure to follow them will cause a hazard that
could result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property damage.
1. Check your local codes. The installation must comply with their rulings.
2. Do not install this furnace in a mobile home or trailer.
3. Always connect this furnace to a chimney and vent to the outside. Never vent to another
room or inside a building.
4. Do not connect this furnace to an aluminum Type B gas vent. This is not safe and is pro-
hibited by the National Fire Protection Association Code. This furnace requires a masonry
or listed factory built chimney for residential type or building heating appliance chimney.
Use a 6" diameter chimney or larger, that is high enough to give a good draft,(See Page 8)
5. Be sure to use a masonry chimney that it is safely constructed and in good repair.
Have the chimney inspected by the Fire Department or an inspector.
6. Inspect chimney connector and chimney before and frequently during the heating season
for any deposit of creosote or soot which must be removed (See Chimney Maintenance,
page 18).
7. Provide air for combustion into the room where the furnace is located. If the intake is not
in the same room, air must have free access to the room.
8. CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEASONED" TO AVOID CRACKING. BUILD ONLY
SMALL FIRES ON FIRST USE.
9. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this furnace who is unfamiliar with the
correct operation of the furnace.
10. For further information on using your furnace safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) publication "Chimneys, Fireplaces, and Solid Fuel Burning
Appliances" NFPA 211. The address of the NFPA is Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269.
11. Keep the ash pit section free of excess ashes. Do not allow ashes to stack higher than
the sides of the ash pan.
12. DISPOSAL OF ASHES - Place ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Keep the
closed container on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combus-
tible materials. Keep the ashes in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled. The ashes may be buried in the ground or picked up by a refuse collector.
13. CAUTION - The special paints used on your furnace may give off some smoke while they
are curing during the first few fires. Build small fires at first. The metal used in construc-
tion of the furnace and duct work has a light coating of oil. This could give off smoke and/
or odors from registers when furnace is used for the first time. This should disappear after
a short period of time. Once this burn-off has occurred, it should not reoccur.
14. CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS - This furnace has a painted outside jacket, which is
durable, but it will not stand rough handling or abuse. When installing your furnace, use
care in handling. Clean with soap and warm water when furnace is not hot. DO NOT use
any acids or scouring soap, as these wear and dull the finish. DISCOLORATION WILL
OCCUR IF THE FURNACE IS OVERFIRED, FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY.
15. Keep the feed and ash doors closed at all times, except while tending the furnace.
Your furnace is designed to be installed in a parallel air flow arrangement with a gas or oil- fired forced
air flow - type central furnace, or it may be installed as a central furnace.

Rules for Connector
Pipe Installation
1. The crimped end of the chimney connector fits
inside the furnace flue collar. Install additional chim-
ney connectors and elbow with the CRIMPED END
TOWARD THE FURNACE. This will allow any
condensation in the flue to run back into the furnace.
Use 6" dia. steel pipe and elbows for connection to
chimney. Never use less than 24 gauge and al-
though blued steel is satisfactory, high temp painted
black is much more desirable.
2. Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the
chimney at least 1/4 inch for each foot of horizontal
run.
RIGHT
WRONG
WRONG
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
(See Fig. 3)
Fig. 6
4. The chimney connector must not extend into the
chimney flue. (See Fig. 6)
5. Seal each chimney connector pipe joint with fur-
nace cement. Also seal the pipe at the chimney.
6. Use 3 sheet metal screws at each chimney pipe
joint to make the piping rigid.
7. The chimney connector may include a section for

Installation
Please see all methods of Installation in
Appendix at the rear of this booklet.
Pipe to combustible:
Sides: 21"
Back: 18"
The installation must be made only on a noncom-
bustible floor.
This is a furnace, not a free standing stove.
Youmustdirectheatedairfrom8"outletsawayfrom
the furnace, or it will not function properly.
d) Install the smoke pipe connector to the chim-
ney with 26-gauge pipe and elbows (to be pur-
chased separately), maintaining the proper clear-
ances for the specific model. Seal the spoke pipe in
the chimney with furnace cement. (The chimney
connector shall be securely supported, and joints
fastened with sheet metal screws or rivets.)
e) Install 8" diameter heat pipe to plenum of the
central hot air furnace. Use 26-gauge pipe and
connectors (to be purchased separately). (See Fig.
14) If central air conditioning is installed in the
plenum, install heat pipe above the air conditioning
unit. Secure heat pipe connection with supports
and sheet metal screws.
f) Connect electrical supply in the electrical junc-
tion box that is mounted on the back of the Model
1303 Furnace. See Wiring Diagram (Fig. 12 or Fig.
13). Remove the cover from electrical junction box
and connect power supply wires to wires desig-
nated, using wire nuts. The power cord supplied
may be used for installation, if permitted by local
codes and regulations. If the power cord supplied
cannot be used, the power supply wiring must be 90
degrees centigrade in a metal cable and should be
completed by a qualified installer complying with
NFPA Standard No. 70 and local codes.
1. This installation must be done by a qualified
heating equipment installer.
2. The installation is to be done in compliance with
NationalFireProtectionAssociationinstallationstan-
dards: No. 89M, 90B, 211, 70 (National Electrical
Code) and Uniform Mechanical Code 913, 6-4, in
the states where applicable. (Their code offers
connecting smoke pipe connectors into chimney
with other fuel burning appliances.)
3. Rooms large in comparison with size of the
appliance:
a)Wood or Coal Burning Furnace needs air for
combustion and circulation to house.
b) Provision must be made to make up this air
and not starve gas or oil furnace of combustion air.
c) Have "Authority Having Jurisdiction" deter-
mine that air is of adequate makeup. (Reference
N.F.P.A. Nos. 30&54, Code for Installation of Gas &
Oil Equipment).
4. Have"AuthorityHavingJurisdiction"istoinspect
all chimneys and installations for adequate venting
and for compliance with standard and local codes
and regulations regarding installation of wood burn-
ing appliances.
g) Optional Plenum Fan Control Switch (Part No.
11PCS) is available for installation on the plenum of
central hot air heating furnace. The purpose of this
switch is to activate the circulating fan of the central
hot air heating furnace when the temperature in the
plenum exceeds 120 degrees F., and shut off the
fan when the temperature in the plenum is reduced
to 100 degrees F. This avoids overheating the
plenum.
5. Installation for Supplemental Heat Application to
Existing Central System. (See Fig. 2 for typical
installation.)
a) Place Wood or Coal Burning Furnace so that
the chimney connector will be as short as practi-
cable and avoiding unnecessary sharp turns in the
smoke pipe connector and the installation of de-
vices that would create excessive resistance to the
flow of flue gases.
The electrical supply for operation of this fan
control switch is to be obtained from the same
electrical supply as the central hot air heating sys-
tem. (See Fig. 14) Follow the instructions of the
wiring diagram (Fig. 5) Do not make connections
across Limit Control in the furnace.
b) Locate the Wood or Coal Burning Furnace as
close as practical to the existing central hot air
heating system, maintaining clearances as stated
on the label on the fuel door.
c) Clearance from combustible materials must
comply with those stated on the label on the fire
Make electrical wire connections in accordance
with NFPA Standard No. 70 and local codes in the
power supply junction box (See Fig. 15). The wiring
to complete the connections should be 18 AWG
minimum copper and 90 degrees centigrade in a
cable.

Service Hints
If the chimney is operating too cool, water
will condense in the chimney and run back
into the furnace. Creosote formation will be
rapid and may block the chimney. Operate
the furnace at a high enough fire to keep the
chimney warm, preventing this condensa-
tion.
Do not expect a furnace to draw. It is the
chimney that creates the draft. Smoke spillage
into the house or excessive buildup of water or
creosote in the chimney are warnings that the
chimneyisnotfunctioningproperly. Correctthe
problembeforeusingfurnace. Possiblecauses
are:
4.
5.
If the fire burns well, but sometimes smokes
or burns slowly, it may be caused by the
chimney top being lower than another part
of the house or a nearby tree. The wind
blowing over a house or a tree, falls on top
of the chimney like water over a dam, beat-
ingdownthesmoke. Thetopofthechimney
should be at least 3 feet above the roof and
be at least 2 feet higher than any point of the
roof within 10 feet (Fig. 5).
1. The connector pipe may be pushed into the
chimney too far, stopping the draft (Fig. 6)
2. Do not connect two furnaces or a stove and
furnace into the same chimney flue.
3. The chimney used for a furnace must not be
used to ventilate the cellar or basement. If
there is a cleanout opening at the base of
the chimney, it must be closed tightly.
6.
See page 19 for list of trouble shooting tips.
A draft reading of .05 to .06 w.c. is suggested for proper burning of this unit when using
wood.
Chimney Maintenance
Creosote and Soot - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar
and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creo-
sote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the flue lin-
ing. When ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.
If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the chimney
catches fire, immediately call the fire depart-
ment, thenreducethefirebyclosingtheinletair
control. Pour a large quantity of coarse salt,
baking soda or cool ashes on top of the fire in
the firebox.
When coal is burned, the products of combus-
tion combine with moisture to form a soot resi-
duewhichaccumulatesonthefluelining. When
ignited, this soot makes an extremely hot fire.
CAUTION
A chimney fire may cause ignition of
wall studs or rafters which you thought
were a safe distance from the chimney.
If you have a chimney fire, have your
chimney inspected by a qualified per-
son before using again.
The chimney should be inspected at least twice
monthly during the heating season to deter-
