Safety and Maintenance
NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS BE
INSTALLED IN THE AREA WHERE THE HEATER IS TO BE INSTALLED.
If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may notice that they are operating more frequently.
This may be due to curing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally leaving the re door open. Do not
disconnect the detectors.
1. Burn only, dry and well seasoned cord wood. The denser or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its
heat value. This is why hardwoods are generally preferred. Green or wet wood should not be used, it will
reduce heat output, as well as, contribute signicantly to creosote buildup.
WARNING: NEVER USE CHEMICALS OR ANY OTHER VOLATILE LIQUID TO START A FIRE. DO
NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, OR ENGINE OIL.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE DETECTORS BE INSTALLED.
WARNING: This unit is not designed to be operated with the ring door open. In addition to the obvious
hazard of sparks landing on combustibles, an open re door will cause the heater to draw excess air from
the living space and possibly cause suffocation.
2. Remove ashes frequently. Embers can roll out the door and create a re hazard. Maintain a 1”(25mm)
minimum ash base.
3. The area where boost combustion air enters the rebox must be kept clear of excessive ash buildup
which will block air ow. This area is at the inside front of the rebox.
4. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor wood, it can be cleaned with replace glass
cleaner when the replace is cold. Never scrape with an object that might scratch the glass. The type and
amount of deposit on the glass is a good indication of the ue pipe and chimney buildup. A light brown
dusty deposit that is easily wiped off usually indicates good combustion and dry, well-seasoned wood and
therefore relatively clean pipes and chimney. On the other hand, a black greasy deposit that is difcult to
remove is a result of wet and green wood and too slow a burning rate. This heavy deposit is building up as
quickly in the chimney.
5. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and ring technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until
experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe.WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS AND
COMPONENTS SUPPLIED OR SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE
OR REPLACEMENTS. DO NOT USE A FIREPLACE INSERT OR OTHER PRODUCTS NOT SPECIFIED
FOR USE WITH THIS FIREPLACE.
6. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used by Pacic Energy (7/8”(22mm) high density breglass rope) requires
only light pressure to seal. This will prolong seal life. It is important that the door seal be maintained in
good condition. Periodically inspect seals and replace if necessary.
7. DOOR GLASS - Replacement glass can be obtained from your dealer.
Use 21-5/8” (550mm) x 11-3/8” (290mm) x 5 mm ceramic glass only.
WARNING: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CERAMIC GLASS WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF MATERIAL.
USE ONLY CERAMIC GLASS
FP30 Series B

100000811_200418-48
WARNING: DO NOT SLAM LOADING DOOR OR OTHERWISE IMPACT GLASS. WHEN
CLOSING DOOR, MAKE SURE THAT NO LOGS PROTRUDE TO IMPACT THE GLASS. IF
THE GLASS GETS CRACKED OR BROKEN, IT MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE USING THE
FIREPLACE.
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE APPLIANCE WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT.
FAILURE TO RECTIFY AN OVER FIRING CONDITION CAN BE HAZARDOUS AND MAY VOID
THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
To remove broken glass,remove the door gasket and clean out the screw heads. Remove the screws that
hold the retainer and remove the retainer, noting position for reassembly. Remove all particles of glass. Be
careful as they are very sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace retainers, screws and re-install
the gasket using gasket cement.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, TIGHTEN SCREWS HAND TIGHT
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON GLASS
8. Do not store wood within heater installation clearances, or within the space required for fuel loading and
ash removal. Keep the area around the heater clean and free of loose combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.
9. Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation of the heater. Ensure they have enough knowledge of the entire system if they are expected to operate it. Stress the section on chimney res and the
importance of following the steps outlined, see "In the event of a Chimney Fire" on page 8
10. Inspect and clean your chimney system at the beginning of the burning season before your rst re and at
least every two months during the burning season. Inspect the interior and exterior of the pipe for defects
and/or damage. Remove and inspect the rain cap. Refer to the chimney system manufacturer’s installation
instructions for the procedure to remove and or replace any necessary components to the chimney system.
11. Maintain a distance of 48”(1.2m) from the door to all combustible materials (i.e. furniture, drapes etc.) in
the room.
See "Ember Protector" on page 31 for Ember Protection dimensions.

Maintenance Checks
Check the following parts for damage such as cracks, excessive corrosion, burned out sections and excessive warping: (See website for descriptions and more detail).
Weekly:
• Firebrick - Visual, for cracking.
• Door Gasket - sagging, placement, damage.
Monthly
• Brick rail tabs and brick rails.
• Air riser tube in the back of the rebox.
• Back side of airwash chamber.
• Bafe locking pin.
• Boost manifold cover.
When Cleaning the Chimney System:
• Top bafe board/blanket.
• Bafe.
• Top heat shield and mounting bolt.
• Bafe Gasket.
• Brick Rails.
• Manifold.
Baffle:
• Some warping of the bafe is normal (up to 1/4” or 7mm).
• Replace if the bafe has permanent warping greater than 1/4" (7mm) or shows signs of cracking or
breakage.
• Please contact your Dealer if you experience any of the damage listed above. Continuing to operate your
replace with broken parts may accelerate damage to other parts and may void your warranty.
Ash Removal:
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the heater is cold. Whenever ashes get 3 (76mm) to 4 (102mm)
inches deep in your rebox, and when re has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash
bed approximately 1” (25 mm) deep on the rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes:
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed outside on a non-combustible oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in this
container.

FP30 Series B
Chimney Smoke and Creosote Formation
Creosote - Formation and need for removal:
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a slow
burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot re.
The chimney connector and chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year during the heating season to
determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney re.
Wet or green wood contributes signicantly to creosote formation as the excess moisture that is boiled
off, cools the re, making it difcult for the tars and gases to ignite, thus creating dense smoke and poor
combustion.
Preventing a Chimney Fire
There are three things you can do to prevent chimney res:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney re is possible.
2. Do not have res in the heater that may ignite chimney res. These are very hot res, such as when burning household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood; (e.g.. with a full load on
a hot bed of coals and with the air control open for long period of time.)
3. Regular inspections and cleaning
In the event of a Chimney Fire
Chimney res are dangerous. Temperatures inside the chimney can exceed 2000°F (1093˚C). This causes
much higher than normal temperatures on its exterior surfaces. Thus ignition of nearby or touching combustible material is more likely during a chimney re. Proper clearances are critical for safety, during such a re.
Chimney res are easy to detect; they usually involve one or more of the following:
• Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney.
• A roaring sound.
• Vibration of the chimney.
Contact your local municipal or provincial re authority for further information on how to handle a chimney
re. It is most important that you have a clearly understood plan on how to handle a chimney re.
1. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety. Have a well understood plan of action for evacuation.
Have a place outside where everyone is to meet.
2. Close the air control on the replace.
3. Call your local re department. Have a re extinguisher handy.
4. After the chimney re is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks** before
starting another re. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof. - The services of a competent or certied installer, (certied by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT) - in Canada,
Hearth Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in U.S.A.,) are strongly recommended..

Operation
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid or similar liquids to
start or "freshen up" a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY wood heater is designed for many years of trouble free operation. Over ring the
appliance will shorten the life of the product. Failure to rectify an over ring condition can be hazardous and
may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural Cordwood only
generally result when burning air-dried seasoned woods, as compared to green or freshly cut woods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the re
to smoulder and produce large amounts of smoke and creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and
tends to go out often. Wood should be stored under cover away from open ame or heat sources.
. Higher efciency and lower emissions
DO NOT BURN THESE MATERIALS
Salt water wood * Treated wood
Wet or green wood Coal/charcoal
Garbage* Solvents*
Lawn clippings/yard waste Unseasoned wood
Railroad ties Manure or animal remains
Materials containing plastic* Materials containing asbestos
Construction or demolition debris Materials containing rubber, including tires
Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard.
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause
excessive smoke.
Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products
The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of re starters made from paper,
cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a re in an affected wood heater.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a
tasteless, odorless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to barbecue in this heater.
• DO NOT STORE/PLACE WOOD WITHIN THE STOVES INSTALLATION CLEARANCES, INCLUDING IN
FRONT OF THE UNIT.
• DO NOT STORE WOOD UNDER THE UNIT
How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more
than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses
and blackens without igniting in ve minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.

FP30 Series B
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fire.
1. Adjust air control to “High” position (all the way to the left) and open door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and crisscross with several pieces of dry kindling.
Add a few small pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and leave the door ajar approximately 1/2"(13mm) - 1"(25mm) until the wood kindling is
fully engulfed in ame. ** DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHILE THE DOOR IS OPEN**
4. After the kindling is fully engulfed add a few small logs. Close door.
5. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and the wood has charred.
Normal Operation
WARNING: This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered.
It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner
inconsistent with the operating instructions in this manual.
1. Set air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates
you have shut the control down too soon or you are using too low a setting. The wide range control makes
nding the desired setting for your application easy. As every home's heating needs vary (ie. insulation,
windows, climate, etc.) the proper setting can only be found by trial and error and should be noted for
future burns.
2. To refuel, adjust air control to “High” position(all the way to the left), and give the re time to brighten.
Open the door slowly, this will prevent backpufng or ame roll-out.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length ( recommended 18"(450mm)). Load your wood and try
to place the logs so that the air can ow between them. Always use dry wood.
4. Do not load fuel to a height that exceeds 7 1/2" from the rebox oor or in such a manner that would be
hazardous when opening the door.
5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the wood completely on
"High" setting before adjusting air control to the "Low" setting for overnight burn.
• Highest smoke densities and emissions occur when a large amount of wood is added to a bed of hot
coals and the air inlet is closed too soon. The heated wood generates smoke, but without ample air, the
smoke cannot burn. Smoke-free, clean burning requires small fuel loads, two or three logs at a time or 1/2
of a fuel load and leaving the air inlet relatively wide open, when most of the smoke generating reactions
are occurring. After 15 to 30 minutes, the air inlet can be turned down substantially without excessive
smoke generation.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This heater is not designed for open door
burning.
WARNING: No alteration or modification of the combustion air control assembly is permitted. Any
tampering will void warranty and could be very hazardous.

100000811_200418-48
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the fuel. Burn directly on the fire bricks. Replace
broken or missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition.
Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of
embers, close door.
2. Adjust air control to high and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum ring rate, set control to “High” position (all the way to the left). Do not use this
setting other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
Over Firing
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
Over ring can be caused by operating the unit with the door open, too high of a chimney draft, damage to
door gaskets allowing excess air to enter the rebox, the use of kiln dried lumber, mill ends or paper waste
and prolonged or continual use on a high burn setting.
Proper Draft
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing
red stove part or chimney indicates excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause backpufng into the room
and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints
indicates inadequate draft.
Curing of the paint finish
See the included "Stove Bright User Guide". When burning your stove for the rst 2-3 times it is very
important that the room be well ventilated. Open all windows and doors. Smoke and fumes caused by the
curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Health Warning.
The smoke from the curing process displaces oxygen. Small children, elderly and persons with existing
breathing problems should vacate the area during the hot burn to avoid the discomfort of lost oxygen. The
smoke is primarily Carbon Dioxide, and therefore non-toxic but can be uncomfortable.
Ash Removal
Caution: Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your rebox, and when re has burned down and cooled,
remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1" (25 mm) deep on the rebox bottom to help
maintain a hot charcoal bed for future res.

Wind direction and magnitude can play a factor in the chimney performance. Therefore the chimney outlet position is important when locating the replace. We recommend, whenever possible, that the chimney
should:
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof.
• Be installed as far as possible from roof offsets, trees or any other obstructions that may cause wind
turbulence or back drafts in the chimney.
• Contain the fewest number of offsets (elbows) possible.
Check the adequacy of the oor by rst estimating the weight of the replace system (approx. 500lbs(227Kg)),
plus the venting. Next measure the area the replace will occupy. Note the oor construction and consult your
local building code to determine if any additional oor support is needed. In most cases, no additional support is needed for the replace.
The replace may be installed directly on a combustible oor or on a raised base. A minimum of 84"(2.13m)
measured from the base of the appliance to the ceiling is required inside the chase and in the room. Add the
base height to all measurements if raising the unit.
