Ash Removal
ashes must be removed from the furnace to ensure proper
operation. The time required for the ash pan to fill depends
on the quality of the fuel and on the quantity of fuel burned.
a furnace running on a thermostat cycling at a moderate rate
will generally operate 4-5 days before the ash pan requires
emptying. However if the furnace is running continuously
on the highest setting, the ash pan will need emptying
approximately every 2-3 days. The ash pan should never
be allowed to become too full to receive a clinker. If the ash
pan is too full, the clinker may not drop into the pan. It is the
responsibility of the owner/user of the furnace to determine the
frequency of dumping the ash, based on the rate of burn and
the quality of fuel (ash content).
Air Box Trap Door
The air box trap door should be cleaned out each time the ash
pan is emptied. See Maintenance Guide for details.
Clinker Removal (Corn Fuel)
The 50F Furnace features cyclean, an automatic clinker
removal system that maintains a constant fire while dumping
the clinker into the ash pan. The frequency of clinker removal is
basedontheamountoffuelburnedintheburningpot.When
the clinker is ready for removal, the furnace will ramp up to
level 5 and initiate the clinker removal. This cycle takes 5-6
minutes. The furnace remains at level 3 to build a new base
before returning to initial setting.
heat Exchange Tubes
Whenremovingtheashpan,itisrecommendedthatyoupull
the tube scraper back and forth a couple of times to keep
the tubes clean. If the Tube Scraper feels sticky and difficult
to move, check for the presence of creosote on the tubes. If
creosote is present, a damper adjustment may be needed
or the furnace has become plugged and needs a thorough
cleaning. call dealer for assistance.
Clean the Glass
The rate of burn will determine how often the window
needs cleaning. Prolonged burning at a slow burn rate will
result in the need for more frequent window cleaning. It is
recommended to clean the window when the unit is cold,
however it is possible to clean the door during operation. To
do so, open the door quickly and wipe with a dry cloth or
papertowel.Youmustdothiswithinthe90secondwindow
allowed by the vacuum switch. If needed, close the door and
wait 1 minute before reopening the door to reset the 90-second
timer. If the door is left open for more than 90 seconds the

over with the Lighting Procedure. Use of a glass cleaner is only
permitted when the furnace is cold.
The Chimney and Chimney Connector
Should be inspected at least once every two months during
the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has
occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated
(3 mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk
ofachimneyfire.Useofanappropriatelysizedchimney
brush or the services of a professional chimney sweep are
recommended. also clean the exhaust system if needed.
determine the needed cleaning frequency during the initial
days of operation. The furnace is designed to require only a
minimum amount of daily cleaning. Required maintenance
depends largely upon the type and quality of fuel burned and
the rate of burn. The amount of daily maintenance will increase
if fuel quality decreases and/or the burn rate of fuel increases.
CAUTION
Do not slam the door. Do not operate the furnace
with broken or cracked glass. Replace only with
heat resistant ceramic glass supplied by the
manufacturer.
Note: Opening door during automatic clinker
removal will pause the motion momentarily until
door is closed and vacuum is detected.
Note: Failure to keep your furnace clean, as
described in this manual, could result in poor op-
eration, inefficient fuel usage and a possible safety
hazard! It is the responsibility of the owner/user to
determine the needed maintenance frequency.
CAUTION
The door and front part of the furnace will be hot.
Do not touch any part of the furnace that is hot!
