SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SCOTSMAN WOOD FURNACE – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Scotsman 3 Oct-06 1.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1.1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the KERR SCOTSMAN Wood Furnace. Developed in Atlantic Canada, this KERR Furnace has been designed to allow you to heat your home with wood, one of North America’s most abundant fuels. Designed with you in mind, the KERR SCOTSMAN Wood Furnace will provide you with many years of safe, efficient central heating. To ensure you have a clear understanding of the operating procedures of this furnace, please take the time to read the remainder of this section on operating procedures. If you have any questions, your KERR DEALER will be happy to answer them for you. 1.2 WOOD-BURNING The SCOTSMAN Wood Furnace will burn most wood fuels, however it is recommended that only dry, seasoned hardwood be used as much as possible since it affords cleaner, safer and more efficient operation. Burning seasoned hardwood will leave less ash, soot and creosote residue and will require fueling less often. Use smaller loads of wood on warmer days. WARNING: DO NOT use chemicals or fluids to start the fire or during operation. DO NOT burn driftwood or manufactured logs (compressed wood). Before adding fuel to an existing fire turn up the thermostat for about five minutes or lift damper chain to hold damper fully open for about one minute before opening the loading door. This action will allow residual smoke to clear from the combustion chamber and reduce smoke entering the basement during refueling. Twice daily refueling may be sufficient in modern well-insulated homes. However, KERR recommends that small fuel loads be added morning, noon and early evening and late evening, rather than large quantities infrequently. A small intense fire will burn more efficiently than a large smoldering fire in the SCOTSMAN Wood Furnace and will produce less creosote. When refueling the SCOTSMAN, the remaining coals should be raked to the front of the combustion chamber before adding any new fuel. Place the fresh supply of wood to the rear of the combustion chamber. This gives more of an even cigar type fuel burn, rather than a large hot fire to a slow amber fire. This will help create a more even and efficient burn. The SCOT...
