• Keep the furnace clean to prevent dust buildup and potential issues.

2.2 Prohibited Installation Locations

The Cozy Wall Furnace must not be installed in recreational vehicles, trailers, or areas with high humidity. Avoid locations prone to flooding or near flammable materials. Do not install in areas with limited ventilation or where gas leaks could pose a hazard. Ensure the furnace is not placed in unventilated enclosures or areas exposed to direct water spray. Proper location is crucial for safe and efficient operation.

Installation Steps

Install the Cozy Wall Furnace by centering the wall thimble assembly and securing it with screws. Slide the furnace into place, ensuring proper vent alignment for safe operation.

3.1 Materials and Tools Needed

To install the Cozy Wall Furnace, gather the following materials and tools: eight screws for the wall thimble assembly, a drill, screwdriver, wrench, and level. Ensure you have the factory-supplied vent system, including the vent cap, and proper gas piping for your specific model. Refer to the rating label to confirm compatibility with your gas type. Additional tools may include a lighter for the pilot light and sealant for airtight connections. Proper materials ensure a safe and secure installation.

3.2 Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Begin by centering the wall thimble assembly in the opening and securing it with eight screws. Slide the exhaust and air intake tubes through the thimble, then mount the furnace flush to the wall. Use screws to fasten the furnace through its mounting brackets. Ensure proper vent installation and connections, and verify gas piping for leaks. Refer to the manual for specific alignment and clearance requirements to complete the installation safely and efficiently.

Operating the Cozy Wall Furnace

Ensure the furnace is properly connected to the vent system and gas supply. Set the thermostat to your desired temperature and ignite the pilot light for operation.

4.1 Setting Up the Thermostat

Set your thermostat to “Heat” mode and ensure the temperature is above the current room temperature. Check the battery level if it’s a wireless model. Adjust the temperature setting gradually to achieve your desired comfort level. Ensure the thermostat is properly synchronized with the furnace for smooth operation. Always refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions for specific setup details.

4.2 Lighting the Pilot Light

To light the pilot light, locate the pilot valve and set it to the “Pilot” position. Press and hold the pilot button while using a lighter to ignite the pilot flame. Keep the button held down for about 30 seconds to ensure the flame stays lit. Once the pilot is lit, release the button and ensure the flame remains steady. If the pilot light goes out or flickers, consult a professional for assistance.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and safety. Clean dust and debris weekly to prevent issues. Inspect gas lines for leaks and ensure proper venting for efficient operation.

5.1 Regular Cleaning Recommendations

Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining your Cozy wall furnace’s efficiency and safety. Dust and debris should be removed weekly using a soft brush or vacuum to ensure proper airflow. Check vents for blockages and clean filters as needed. Annual professional inspection is recommended to identify potential issues early. Keeping the furnace clean prevents common problems and ensures reliable operation throughout the heating season.

5.2 Checking for Gas Leaks

Regularly inspect the gas piping for leaks to ensure safe operation. Turn off the gas supply and apply a soap solution to connections; bubbles indicate leaks. For pressure below 1/2 PSI, test with the gas valve closed. For higher pressures, disconnect the furnace during testing. This ensures safety and efficiency, preventing potential hazards. Annual professional inspections are recommended to maintain reliability and performance.

Choosing the Right Model

Choosing the right Cozy Wall Furnace model involves considering BTU requirements, gas type compatibility, and room size. Models like W255G and W355G offer varying capacities to suit different spaces and needs.

6.1 Understanding BTU Requirements

British Thermal Units (BTUs) measure the furnace’s heating capacity. Choose a model with BTUs matching your space needs. Higher BTU models like W355G suit larger areas, while W255G is ideal for smaller spaces. Proper sizing ensures efficient heating without energy waste. Consult the manual or a professional to determine the right BTU rating for your room size and insulation level to achieve optimal performance and comfort.

6.2 Selecting the Appropriate Gas Type

Ensure your Cozy Wall Furnace is compatible with the gas type you intend to use. Check the rating label near the gas valve to confirm compatibility with natural or propane gas. Models like W255G and W355G are designed for specific gas types. Incorrect gas selection can lead to safety hazards or poor performance. Always follow the manual’s guidelines for proper installation and operation based on your gas type to ensure efficiency and safety.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Identify and resolve common issues like pilot light problems or intermittent operation by referring to the troubleshooting section in your Cozy Wall Furnace Manual.

7.1 Pilot Light Issues

If the pilot light refuses to stay lit, flickers, or goes out frequently, check for a weak thermopile or improper gas flow. Ensure the vent system is clear and functional. If issues persist, refer to the manual for detailed troubleshooting steps or contact a certified technician to resolve the problem efficiently and safely. Always prioritize safety when addressing pilot light concerns to avoid potential hazards.

7.2 Intermittent Operation

Intermittent operation can result from issues like a faulty thermopile, obstructed vents, or uneven gas pressure. Check for blockages in the vent system and ensure proper gas flow. If the furnace cycles on and off unexpectedly, inspect the thermostat settings and connections. Consult the manual for diagnostic steps or contact a professional to resolve the issue and restore consistent heating performance safely and efficiently.

Venting and Clearance Requirements

Proper vent installation ensures safe and efficient operation. Maintain minimum clearances around the furnace to prevent overheating and obstruction. Follow guidelines for venting and spacing to optimize performance and safety;
