Your Ashley Furnace is designed to be a
supplemental or central heating source for your
home. This solid fuel furnace may be installed in
conjunction with a properly operating central fur-
nace that is listed or certified in accordance with
nationally recognized safety standards and
equipped with the required controls and other
safety features and which has been installed with
appropriate standards of National Fire Protection
Association with installation clearances specified
in the furnace nameplate marking. The installation
must be accomplished by a qualified agency (one
who is engaged in, and is responsible for, or is
thoroughly familiar with the installation and opera-
tion of the gas, oil, and solid fuel burning heating
appliances, who is experienced in such work,
familiar with all precautions required, and has
complied with all the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction.) The installation shall be in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions furnished with the solid fuel fur-
nace.
The chimney connector of the furnace is to be
installed to provide clearances to combustible
material not less than specified in the individual
classifications and marked on the furnace. The
chimney connector must be connected to a chim-
ney suitable for use with residential type or building
heating appliances which burn solid fuel.
The furnace is designed to operate in either
parallel or series air flow arrangement with the
central furnace or as a central furnace.
CENTRAL FURNACE INSTALLATION: As a cen-
tral furnace, the unit functions independently of
any other system. The blower will come on when
the plenum temperature reaches the setting on the
blower control.
HOW THE FURNACE FUNCTIONS
Your Furnace is designed to be installed in a parallel air flow arrangement with a gas or oil-fired
forced air upflow-type central furnace, or it may be installed as a central furnace.
CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS - This furnace has a painted outside jacket, which is durable but it
will not stand rough handling or abuse. When installing you furnace, use care in handling. Clean with
soap and warm water when furnace is not hot. DO NOT use any acids or scouring soap, as these
wear and dull the finish. DISCOLORATION WILL OCCUR IF THE FURNACE IS OVERFIRED.
FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Keep the feed and ash doors closed at all times except while tending the furnace.

RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
PARALLEL INSTALLATION: The design is such
that when the blower comes on, the blower on the
central system also comes on.
The blower will only come on when the
temperature in the plenum has reached the setting
on the blower control. This is to insure that there is
sufficient warm air in the system to make it
efficient for the unit to operate. When the central
system thermostat calls for heat, the central sys-
tem will operate by the burner igniting and the
blower coming on. It is possible that both systems
will operate simultaneously. It is recommended
that for the most efficient use of your Ashley
Furnace, that it be fired as much as possible in
order to reduce the demand on your existing central
heating system. This unit has an Optional forced
draft kit that operates from a wall thermostat.
When the temperature falls below the setting on the
wall thermostat, the forced draft will come on. (U.S.
Stove Option 11 DIK)
The warm air supply outlet of the Ashley
furnace shall not be connected to the cold air return
inlet of the central furnace because the possibility
exists of components of the central furnace over-
heating and causing the central furnace to operate
other than is intended.
SERIES INSTALLATION: (U.S. & CANADA)
This type of installation uses only the blowers of
the existing central furnace. The solid fuel fan/limit
control must also control the functions of the
existing furnace. All electrical power must come
from a single branch circuit.
