ALBIECORE™ HEATER OPERATING AND

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The Maine Wood Heat Company has been

designing and building masonry heaters for

nearly 30 years. We have been an integral part

of the development of masonry heaters in the

United States from the beginning and are very

pleased to still be a part of this very signiﬁcant

technology today. We welcome you into this

ever-growing family of heater owners. We

are grateful to have played a role in the new

heart of your home and we offer the following

information to help you become familiar with

your heater's operation and care. Your new

heater should serve and warm you for many

years to come.

Warm Regards,

Albie, Cheryl, and Scott Barden

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HEATER:

Your heater is equipped with one or two sets of

loading doors each of which have primary draft

slides. You also have an ash box door with a

draft slide and if you chose to have a bake oven,

you will have a bake oven door with a screw out

draft control.

In addition, your heater is equipped with a

sliding shut off damper with a wooden handle,

as well as a by-pass channel with a pivoting

weighted handle.

Finally, if your installation called for it, you may

have a cast iron pivoting ash dump located on

the ﬂoor of the ash box.

LEANOUTS AND SOOT DOORS

In the basement, your wood heater ﬂue typically

has an 8" x 8" cast iron soot door at the base of

the chimney. It should be kept tightly closed

except when inspecting or cleaning the chimney.

You also have an 8" x 8" cleanout door mounted

on the second or third course of the heater's

block foundation. Its purpose is to give you

access for annual or biannual ash removal from

the heater above.

If you have a second ﬂue on the chimney it too is

equipped with an 8" x 8" cast iron clean out and

a 6"or 7" galvanized thimble to service a gas or

oil ﬁred appliance.

ARE DURING CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSE

It is very important to understand that your

heater should not be used by anyone but

yourselves. If anyone ﬁlls the heater with trash

or kindling or construction scraps, the ﬁrebox

could over heat and cause stress cracking.

While the house is being completed the bench

and heater cap should be covered with plywood

and workers should not be allowed to use the

bench as a ladder, storage area or workbench.

The same should apply to the cap area.
