1. 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 chim ney like water over a dam beating down the smoke The top of the chimney should be at least 3 feet higher than any point of the roof within 10 feet Fig 6 A draft reading of 05 to 06 w c is suggested for proper burning of this unit when using bituminous coal as fuel When using anthracite coal this draft readings is a minimum reading CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When coal is burned the products of combustion combine with moisture to form a soot residue which accumulates onthe flue lining When ignited this soot makes an extremely hot fire The chimney connector should be in spected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred If creosote has accumulated it should be removed Failure to remove creo sote or soot may cause a house fire Creosote may be removed by using a chimney brush or other commonly avail able materials CAUTION chimney fire may cause ignition of wall studs or rafters which you thought Chimney fires burn very hot up to 2100 degrees F If you experience a chimney fire immediately call the fire department They have the professional means for extinguishing a chimney fire Once2. 5 Set thermostat for desired tempera ture ADDING FUEL When starting a fire add small amounts of fuel periodically as required enough to burn for 3 to 5 hours As you become more familiar with the operation of your heater it is possible to add coal to burn for longer durations of between 8 to 12 hours but doing so carelessly will pro mote incomplete combustion and con siderable sitting along with a very dirty inefficient fire 1 Set thermostat to HIGH before open ing feed door 2 Coal Fire Never smother the fire when adding coal see CAUTION be low Gas accumulation and a mild smoky explosion will occur a Add fresh kindling if the bed of coals has cooled b Add up to 20 Ibs of coal Never add coal above top of the firebrick c Stir the coal and watch the fire Be sure the new coal is burning before you close the doors and turn the thermostat down 3 Shake Grates vigorously back and forth to dump ashes into ash pan Do this at least once every 12 hours of operation 4 Empty ash pan regularly Do not allow ashes to build up to grate as grate will warp and burn out and you might spill the ashes when removing the pan Dispose of hot ashes properly See note 11 on page 3 CAUTION BUILD A FIRE ON INTE GRAL GRATE THAT IS PROVIDED WITH THE HEATER MINIMUM FIRE The burning rate at the low setting can be further adjusted by opening or clos ing the minimum fire air shutter Fig 9 on the draft contr
