(Save these Instructions!)
INTRODUCTION TO INSTALLERS
Before installing this ECONOBURN™ Wood-Fired Boiler, please read the following instruction
manual carefully. This unit is designed to be a freestanding central heating boiler, or as an add-on
to operate in conjunction with an existing oil, gas, or electric unit, to provide a complete central
heating solution. Before installing be sure unit is properly sized for the intended application. War-
ranty does not cover misapplication of unit.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS
The ECONOBURN™ Wood-Fired Boiler must be installed in accordance with the requirements of
the National Fire Protection Association codes, the American Heating, Ventilation and Air Condi-
tioning Code, The National Board of Fire Underwriters, and the U.L. Standards for solid fuel burn-
ing equipment. In all cases consult your local authorities and fire insurance company for specific
regulations.
UNCRATING
When you receive your ECONOBURN™ Wood-Fired Boiler, check it carefully to ensure that all
components are present and in good condition. If there has been any damage or loss in trans-
portation, please notify the carrier at once. Remove the following from the boiler chambers: (2)
handles, aquastat, silicone, manual, boiler seal, (conditioning agent), pressure relief valve, and
circulator.
CHECKING COMBUSTION CHAMBER
The secondary combustion chamber, located in the lower part of the boiler, is a refractory that
should be centered from side to side, and front to back.
LOCATING THE BOILER
The location of the Boiler must be as close as possible to the tile-lined brick chimney, or factory-
built solid-fuel approved chimney. Keep in mind also the day-to-day operation, and place for ease
of fueling and cleaning.
It is important to provide adequate combustion air to the Boiler. It may be necessary to add a
ventilator to an exterior wall of a closed Boiler room or an airtight basement. The Boiler must be
installed so that the clearances of those of local authorities are met.
If the Boiler must be installed on a combustible floor, a noncombustible base must be built. Two
layers of hollow masonry block (4” thick) are placed at right angles to each other so that the venti-
lation holes of one layer are opposite to those of the other layer.
Also for ember protection, there must be a minimum one layer of 26 ga. galvanized metal beneath
the masonry blocks. This base must extend beyond the Boiler to a minimum distance of 18” in
front and 8” on all sides.
