HOW THE FURNACE FUNCTIONS
PARALLEL INSTALLATION: (U.S. ONLY)
Your CLAYTON Furnace is designed
tobeasupplementalorcentralheatingsource
for your home. This Solid Fuel Furnace may
be installed in conjunction with a properly
operating central furnace that is listed or cer-
(See Optional Wiring Diagram, Page 13, Fig.
14) 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.
Thisistoinsurethatthereissufficientwarmair
in the system to make it efficient for the unit to
operate. When the central system thermostat
calls for heat, the central system will operate
by the burner igniting and the blower coming
on. It is possible that both systems will op-
erate simultaneously. It is recommended that

RULES FOR CONNECTOR
PIPE INSTALLATION
1. The crimped end of the chimney connector fits
insidethefurnacefluecollar. Installadditional chim-
ney connectors and elbow with the CRIMPED END
TOWARD THE FURNACE. This will allow any
condensation in the flue to run back into the furnace.
Use 6" dia. steel pipe and elbows for connection to
chimney. Never use less than 24 gauge and
al-
though blued steel is satisfactory, high temp painted
black is much more desirable.
2. Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the
chimney at least 1/4 inch for each foot of horizontal
run.

INSTALLATION
Please see all methods of Installation in
Appendix at the rear of this booklet.
Pipe to combustible:
Sides: 21"
Back: 18"
The installation must be made only on a
noncombustible floor.
This is a furnace, not a free standing stove.
Youmustdirectheatedairfrom8"outletsawayfrom
the furnace, or it will not function properly.
d) Install the smoke pipe connector to the
chimney with 26-gauge pipe and elbows (to be
purchased separately), maintaining the proper
clearances for the specific model. Seal the smoke
pipe in the chimney with furnace cement. (The
chimney connector shall be securely supported,
and joints fastened with sheet metal screws or
rivets.)
e) Install 8" diameter heat pipe to plenum of the
central hot air furnace. Use 26-gauge pipe and
connectors (to be purchased separately). (See
Fig. 15) If central air conditioning is installed in the
plenum, install heat pipe above the air conditioning
unit. Secure heat pipe connection with supports
and sheet metal screws.
1. This installation must be done by a qualified
heating equipment installer.
2. The installation is to be done in compliance with
National Fire Protection Association installation
standards: No. 89M, 90B, 211, 70 (National Elec-
tricalCode)andUniformMechanicalCode913,6-4,
in the states where applicable. (Their code offers
connecting smoke pipe connectors into chimney
with other fuel burning appliances.)
3. Rooms large in comparison with size of the
appliance:
a) Wood or Coal Burning Furnace needs air for
combustion and circulation to house.
f) Connect electrical supply in the electrical
junction box that is mounted on the back of the
Furnace. See Wiring Diagram (Fig. 11). Remove
the cover from electrical junction box and connect
power supply wires to wires designated, using wire
nuts. The power cord supplied may be used for
installation, if permitted by local codes and
regulations. If the power cord supplied cannot be
used, the power supply wiring must be 90 degrees
centigrade in a metal cable and should be
completed by a qualified installer complying with
NFPA Standard No. 70 and local codes.
g) Optional Plenum Fan Control Switch (Part
No. 11PCS) is available for installation on the
plenum of central hot air heating furnace. The
purpose of this switch is to activate the circulating
fan of the central hot air heating furnace when the
temperature in the plenum exceeds 120 degrees
F., and shut off the fan when the temperature in the
plenum is reduced to 100 degrees F. This avoids
overheating the plenum.
b) Provision must be made to make up this air
and not starve gas or oil furnace of combustion air.
c) Have "Authority Having Jurisdiction"
termine that air is of adequate makeup.

5. Installation for Supplemental Heat Application to
Existing Central System. (See Fig. 2 for typical
installation.)
a) Place Wood or Coal Burning Furnace so that
the chimney connector will be as short as practical
and avoiding unnecessary sharp turns in the smoke
pipe connector and the installation of devices that
would create excessive resistance to the flow of flue
gases.
b) Locate the Wood or Coal Burning Furnace as
close as practical to the existing central hot air
heating system, maintaining clearances as stated
on the label on the fuel door.
The electrical supply for operation of this fan
control switch is to be obtained from the same
electrical supply as the central hot air heating
system. Follow the instructions of the wiring
diagram (Fig. 11). Do not make connections across
Limit Control in the furnace.
c) Clearance from combustible materials must
comply with those stated on the label on the fire
door:

COAL.
FUEL, Model 1537G
A) Egg size (1-3/16" or larger) bituminous coal
for residential furnaces, or any of the specially
packed fireplace coals can be used. Coal with a
low ash content (2% to 6%) is recommended.
CAUTION
B) Hardwood, 18" to 26" should be split and air
dried (seasoned) for 6 months.
LIGHTING
DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE FEED AND/OR
ASH DOOR OPEN. THIS FURNACE IS DE-
SIGNED FOR THERMOSTATIC OPERATION.
OPERATION WITH ANY OF THESE DOORS
OPEN WILL OVERHEAT AND DAMAGE THE
FURNACE.
1.
Set the thermostat on "HIGH" for maximum
draft.
2.
Open the feed door and place paper and
kindling on the grate for starting the fire.
Light the fire and close the feed door.
Add wood or about 15 lbs. of coal (depending
on which model) after fire is burning briskly.
Set thermostat for desired temperature.
"MEDIUM" setting is normally satisfactory.
Set higher or lower for your comfort.
3.
4.
CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THE
FURNACE.
5.
ADDING FUEL
WARNING
When starting a fire, add small amounts of fuel
instead of adding large quantities of fuel. This will
give more complete combustion and less build-up
of tars or soot in the chimney.
NEVER STORE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ES-
PECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF
THE FURNACE.
ADJUSTING BLOWER LIMIT CONTROL SET-
TINGS.
1. Set thermostat to HIGH before opening feed
door.
The temperature in the plenum of the warm air
furnace at which the blower turns on or turns off,
is controlled by the setting of the pointers in the
blower limit control (See Fig. 12). These pointers
may be adjusted through their entire range of
settings to achieve the desired warm air output
from furnace. (See Fig. 15 below)
2. Wood fire -
Add wood to a convenient level.
3. Coal Fire -
a. Never smother the fire when adding coal (See
Caution). Gasaccumulationandamildsmoky
explosion will occur. Add fresh kindling if the
bed of coals has cooled.
b. Add up to 20 lbs. of coal per loading. Never
add coal above the bottom of feed door
opening.
Move both pointers towards the right (counter
clockwise) - this increases the temperature
setting at which the blower will turn on and off.
Move both pointers towards the left
(clockwise) - this decreases the temperature
setting at which the blower will turn on and off.
Move pointers away or apart from each other-
this increases the time that the blower will run
on each warm air cycle.
c. Stir the coal and watch the fire. Be sure the
new coal is burning briskly before you close
the doors and turn the thermostat down.
d. Shakegratesvigorously1/2"lefttorighttospill
ashes into the ash pan. Do this at least once
every 12 hours of operation. Empty ash pan
regularly. Do not allow ashes to build-up to
grate as grate will warp and burnout, and you
might spill the ashes when removing the pan.
Dispose of hot ashes properly (See note 12 on
page 4).

SERVICE HINTS
If the chimney is operating too cool, water
will condense in the chimney and run back
into the furnace. Creosote formation will be
rapid and may block the chimney. Operate
the furnace at a high enough fire to keep the
chimney warm, preventing this condensa-
tion.
Do not expect a furnace to draw. It is the
chimney that creates the draft. Smoke spillage
into the house or excessive build-up of water or
creosote in the chimney are warnings that the
chimneyisnotfunctioningproperly. Correctthe
problembeforeusingfurnace. Possiblecauses
are:
4.
5.
If the fire burns well, but sometimes smokes
or burns slowly, it may be caused by the
chimney top being lower than another part
of the house or a nearby tree. The wind
blowing over a house or a tree, falls on top
of the chimney like water over a dam,
beating down the smoke. The top of the
chimney should be at least 3 feet above the
roof and be at least 2 feet higher than any
point of the roof within 10 feet (Fig. 5).
1. The connector pipe may be pushed into the
chimney too far, stopping the draft (Fig. 6)
2. Do not connect two furnaces or a stove and
furnace into the same chimney flue.
3. The chimney used for a furnace must not be
used to ventilate the cellar or basement. If
there is a cleanout opening at the base of
the chimney, it must be closed tightly.
6.
See page 28 for list of trouble shooting tips.
A draft reading of .05 to .06 w.c. is suggested for proper burning of this unit when using
wood or bituminous coal as fuel. When using anthracite coal, this draft reading is a
minimum reading.
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
Creosote and Soot - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar
and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The
creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the flue
lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.
If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the chimney
catches fire, immediately call the fire
de-
partment, then reduce the fire by closing the
inlet air control. Pour a large quantity of coarse
salt, baking soda or cool ashes on top of the fire
in the firebox.
When coal is burned, the products of
combustion combine with moisture to form a
soot residue which accumulates on the flue
lining. When ignited, this soot makes an
extremely hot fire.
CAUTION
A chimney fire may cause ignition of
wall studs or rafters which you thought
were a safe distance from the chimney.
If you have a chimney fire, have your
chimney inspected by a qualified per-
son before using again.
The chimney should be inspected at least twice
monthly during the heating season to
determine if a creosote or soot build up has
occurred.
