INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.

Apex CBT as independent furnace:

When the blower is installed on the left side of the Apex CBT, the bypass handle needs to be moved to the right

side (see “INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.” on page 14), so if possible, install the blower on the right

side.

Install the blower more to the front of the unit as that is where most of the heat is. When using the VB1000 blower cut an opening 13 1/4” W x 11 13/16” H in the side panel about 9” from the front (Distance A, see fi g. opening that way. Use the pre-punched cutouts if applicable.

MOVE BYPASS HANDLE SYSTEM FROM LEFT TO RIGHT SIDE FURNACE

In some installations it is necessary to move the bypass handle system from the left (default) to the right side of the right makes place for the bypass handle but need to be installed on the left aft er the change-over). Make sure to adjust the handle position and latch so proper seal is achieved on bypass door. Reroute wiring. Fig. 7 shows the correct mounting of the handle latches when moved to right side.

PRESSURE LOSS

Before any changes are made to the existing furnace system you must establish the working parameters of that system. You can then insure that addition of the add-on has not degraded the operation of the original system, and correct air fl ow will be maintained. Change all fi lters in the system to insure maximum free air fl ow. Using an accurate manometer check the static pressure at the end of a typical duct near the exit to the house. Check the static pressure in the plenum above the existing furnace also.

Pressure drop = Static pressure at furnace -(minus) static pressure at duct exit

Record the pressure drop of the original system.

Addition of the add-on furnace will add airfl ow resistance in the system. Aft er installation is complete measure the pressure drop in the same run measured before add-on installation. If the air fl ow has diminished the blower speed should be adjusted to compensate. When using a belted blower the pulley size should be changed or adjusted to speed up the blower. If the pulley size is adjusted measure the blower motor current to insure that it is still within the motor plate specifi cation. It may be necessary to replace the motor with a more powerful motor. If a direct drive blower is used change to a higher motor speed. Do not change the blower size.

CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY

Masonry chimney***

Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage.

Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed.

In Canada,

A fl ush mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one side only. If covers are to be used on both sides, each cover must be mounted on noncombustible spacers at least 1” clear of the wall.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

In order to get peak performance out of your Blaze King furnace you will need to follow a few basic steps outlined in the following chapters. Forget everything you learned about how to burn or operate a regular wood furnace. You cannot just throw in some newspaper and a log or two, light a match and expect your Blaze King to saving you time and money.

BYPASS

All catalytic wood burning appliances have a bypass device for allowing the smoke from the fi re to temporarily steel plate door, hinged inside the furnace, and is controlled by the bypass handle on the left or right side of the furnace. When the handle is lift ed up, the bypass is open, when pushed down, it is closed.

Other than during the initial startup sequence, DO NOT burn the furnace with the by-pass open. Leaving the by-pass open may APPEAR to achieve a hotter fi re, but in fact, just the opposite is true. Bypassing the catalyst catalytic furnace produces the greatest amount of heat when the by-pass is closed, and the catalyst is active.

avoid over fi ring. (See “MAINTENANCE cont.” on page 31) for adjusting bypass handle and gasket.

CATALYTIC MONITOR (THERMOMETER)

Depending on the temperature you know if the catalyst is active or not. Press the red button and the catalyst temperature will be displayed for 30 minutes. When temperature is below 500 F, “COOL” will be displayed.

FUEL

• Blaze King recommends using dry seasoned wood, split and stacked and protected from rain for at least 24 months with a moisture content of 13% or lower. It takes a great deal of energy to evaporate the moisture contained in green wood and that energy will not be heating your house. Also, green or wet wood will greatly increase creosote & combustor problems. Blaze King moisture meters are available at your Blaze King dealer.

• Our wood furnaces are not designed for burning coal and doing so will void the warranty.

• Never burn salt-water drift wood. It is very corrosive and will damage the fi rebox. Burning salty wood also voids the warranty.

very little smoke at this stage in the burn cycle.

WARNING: BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE

ACCUMULATION. WHEN CREOSOTE IS IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE WHICH MAY

RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

THERMOSTATS

If your furnace is operating as a combination unit remember both units will not fi re at the same time. If the wood furnace is to be your main source of heat, set the wood thermostat at your desired room temperature and set the thermostat from your alternate furnace approximately 5° F (3°C) lower.

Note: If the alternative furnace is running and the wood furnace is starting to heat up aft er (re-)loading, the alternate furnace will shut off automatically.

When programmable thermostats are used, it is recommended that the wood thermostat is programmed so the being in standby mode.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.

OPERATION DURING POWER FAILURE CONDITIONS

• Your system was designed as a forced air system; do not expect regular performance without the fan running. Do not over fi re to compensate for the lack of a fan. Your system will perform at a lower capacity in the gravity mode.

• During a power failure never fi ll the fi rebox above the top of the fi rebox liner bricks.

• Remove the cabinet door from the blower. Remove the air fi lter and open all registers to facilitate free air fl ow.

• When the power returns the damper motor will open (aft er pressing the reset button on the limit switch) and the manual control will return to normal position. Even without the manual control open the factory adjusted bleed air system will provide some combustion air. When power is restored reinstall the blower system, air fi lters, and door.

Without the blower running, high temperature in the system builds up quickly and over fi ring will result in permanent damage to the fi rebox. Maintain a small fi re only. Over fi ring voids all product warranties.

MAINTENANCE

Your appliance has been manufactured in the Blaze King tradition of high quality. To ensure years of trouble free operation, have your furnace serviced regularly by your Blaze King dealer.

Periodically during heating season thoroughly clean the chimney and fi rebox so your system is ready for next fall. Inspect all fi rebricks and replace any damaged bricks. A broken fi rebrick should be replaced to prevent warping of the fi rebox.

OPERATE THE ALTERNATE ELECTRIC, GAS OR OIL FURNACE PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE

THAT IT WILL OPERATE SATISFACTORILY WHEN NEEDED.

INSPECT VENT PIPES, VENT PIPE JOINTS AND VENT PIPE SEALS REGULARLY TO ENSURE

THAT SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWN INTO, OR CIRCULATED BY, THE AIR

CIRCULATION SYSTEM.

ASHES

Ashes should be cleaned out when they reach a depth of 4” in the fi rebox (half way up the lower bricks). ashes should be placed on a noncombustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR REPLACEMENT

If the combustor must be examined or replaced, follow this procedure;

1. Allow the furnace to burn out and cool down.

2. Open the door and the bypass door. Remove the fl ame shield underneath the combustor.

combustor is placed back in the furnace, the gasket material MUST be replaced. Obtain a piece of gasket from your dealer. When installing the gasket ensure the ends are butted closely together.

5. Do not burn the furnace with the combustor removed, or without the gasket around the combustor.

6. To replace the combustor, fi rst clean the combustor seat and the area around it. Also take this opportunity to clean the area around the by-pass -- use a vacuum cleaner.

MAINTENANCE cont.

GASKET INSPECTION

furnace front should make a groove in the gasket material - one side of the groove (toward the inside) will oft en be dark or black, and the other side (toward the outside) should be light or white. Dark smudges on the outside of the groove may indicate a smoke leak. If the groove is very shallow or missing, or if there is a heavy ash or creosote deposit along the bottom edge of the gasket, it may need to be replaced. Frayed or broken gasket material, or a gasket that is hard and unyielding, will also indicate need for replacement. Any time a piece of gasket is missing or is broken anywhere, the entire gasket must be replaced.

To check the gasket further, insert a piece of paper (a dollar bill will work) into the door opening and close and latch the door. Obvious resistance should be felt when pulling the paper out. Repeat this check several times around the perimeter of the door.

Loading door gasket tightening instructions can be found below under point 8 and fi g. 28

For bypass door adjusting see ”MAINTENANCE cont.” on page 31.

LOADING DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT

3. With a pair of pliers, pull the old door gasket out of the channel and dispose of it.

5. Run a small bead of a high temperature silicone adhesive (such as G.E. Silicone Sealer, or the equivalent) along the center of the channel. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD SILICONE CAULKING. High temperature silicone may be obtained from most auto parts stores.

6. Start the new gasket in the lower right corner. Do not stretch or cut the gasket. Distribute the gasket evenly around the frame.

7. Close the Loading Door and allow the adhesive to dry.

8. Door adjustment: the door seal is adjusted by moving the latch catch on the furnace in or out. To do this,

9. Check the fi t of the door gasket. Insert a narrow strip of paper into the door opening and close and latch the door. Obvious resistance should be felt when pulling the paper out. Repeat this check several times around the perimeter of the door.

CREOSOTE

Creosote can be a problem in any wood-burning appliance. Creosote is a black, foul smelling liquid that results from distillation of wood gases during the combustion process. It solidifi es depending on temperature and in

1. Moisture content of the fuel

2. Stack or fl ue temperature

3. Amount of draft

.

5. Turbulence of smoke

At stack temperature below 120°C (250°F), the creosote will condense out of the gasses (smoke). Once a fl ue pipe becomes heavily coated with creosote, the only safe way to remove it is mechanically with a proper chimney cleaner or brush. A combination of wet fuel and poor operating procedure may necessitate weekly cleaning to remove creosote buildup.

Remember - the hotter the fi re the less creosote. Small intense fi res create less creosote than large, smoldering should be opened for at least 30 minutes by turning the thermostat up in the morning and evening. NEVER

“burn out” large deposits of more than one days accumulation.

Always assure safety by having a clearly understood plan of how to handle a chimney fi re, should one occur.

In conclusion, creosote can best be controlled as follows:

1. Burning dry split wood.

2. Mixing small and large pieces of wood.

3. During warm weather using smaller split wood.

4. Establish a routine for the storage of fuel, care of the appliance, and fi ring techniques.

5. Keeping stack temperature up by using double wall pipe on fl ue runs and protect outside chimney installations in a chase. Minimize elbows and keep fl ue runs as short as possible and ensure tight connections.

6. Checking daily for creosote until experience shows how oft en cleaning is required. Remember a clean chimney is a safe chimney.

7. Having a clearly understood plan should a chimney fi re occur.

WARNING: FAILURE TO INSPECT AND CLEAN YOUR CHIMNEY

SYSTEM REGULARLY CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS FIRE WHICH MAY DAMAGE YOUR

CHIMNEY OR CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE
