INTRODUCTION 
 
    Take note that this furnace operates like an EPA wood burning stove.  This applies to the lighting, the embers and 
the minimum combustion air intake which depends on the type and the grade of the combustible. 
 
    This model line is certified as meeting the emissions limits in 40 C.F.R. part 60, section 60.532 (B) per EPA 
methods 28 and 5G-3, February 1988. 
 
Average emissions rate: 6.56 g/hr 
Average heating efficiency: 71.43% 
 
     
 
 
    To  optimize  the  efficiency  of  your furnace, here are few advices you should follow when installing or operating 
your Hotblast 1950 furnace. 
    Respect the local codes (when in doubt, consult your local dealer). 
    Make sure your furnace is installed according to the instructions on the certification plate. 
    All controls adjustments must be performed by a qualified technician.  The controls settings and the blower speed 
must conform to the recommendations of the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association and 
respect the recommended static pressure ranges in the warm air bonnet of the furnace (see General Technical 
Data,  static pressure). 
 
 
 
1.  CHIMNEY AND DRAFT 
 
    This furnace must be connected to a chimney certified for wood burning heating appliances; a 7 inch connector is 
highly recommended for your Hotblast 1950. 
 
   If draft exceed –0.06 in. W.C a barometric damper should be installed on the smoke pipe. 
    Never install a manual damper. 
 
    The barometric control must be adjusted so that the maximum draft measured at the furnace outlet does not 
exceed -0.06 in. w.c.  Please note that a draft exceeding -0.06 in. w.c. could produce an uncontrollable fire.  On the 
other hand, the minimum draft required is -0.04 in. w.c. in the evacuation pipe.
