Safety
Chimney Smoke and Creosote
Formation
In Case of a Chimney Fire
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 should be inspected periodically (at least once
every two months) during the heating season to determine if
a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated
(3 mm. or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of
a chimney re.
1. 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. The heated wood generates smoke,
but without ample air, the smoke cannot burn. Smokefree, clean burning requires small fuel loads, two or three
logs at a time or 1/4 to 1/2 of fuel load and leaving the air
inlet relatively wide open, especially during the rst 10 to
30 minutes after each loading, when most of the smoke
generating reactions are occurring. After 30 minutes or
so, the air inlet can be turned down substantially without
excessive smoke generation. Wood coals create very
little creosote-producing smoke.
2. The cooler the surface over which the wood smoke is passing, the more creosote will be condensed. Wet or green
wood contributes signicantly to creosote formation as the
excess moisture that is boiled off cools the re, making
it difficult for the tars and gases to ignite, thus creating
dense smoke and poor combustion. This moisture-laden
smoke cools the chimney, compounding the problem by
offering the smoke the ideal place to condense.
In summary, a certain amount of creosote is inevitable
and must be lived with. Regular inspection and cleaning
is the solution. The use of dry, seasoned wood and ample combustion air will help to minimize annoying smoke
emissions and creosote buildup.
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 air inlet on stove.
3. Call local re department. Have a re extinguisher handy.
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.
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.
Avoiding a Chimney Fire
There are two ways to avoid chimney res:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a big chimney
re is possible.
2. Do not have res in the woodstove that may ignite chimney
res. These are 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 inlet excessively open.)
Chimney Fires
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney re.
Chimney res are dangerous. Chimney inside temperatures
can exceed 2000°F(1100°C). This causes much higher
than normal temperatures in the chimney and on its exterior
surfaces. Thus ignition of nearby or touching combustible
material is more likely during a chimney re. Proper clearances
are critical 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

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 woodstove. Keep all such liquids
well away from the woodstove while it is in use.
CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY woodstove is designed for many years
of trouble free operation. Over ring the appliance will shorten
the life of the product. Failure to recitify an over ring condition
can be hazardous and may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Wood Selection
This woodstove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning
air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or
to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
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.
DO NOT BURN :
-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 rubber, including tires
-Materials containing plastic
-Waste petroleum products, paints or paint
thinners, or asphalt products
-Materials containing asbestos
-Construction or demolition debris
-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 woodstove ineffective and cause smoke.
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 woodstove.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal,
can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless,
odourless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should
you attempt to barbecue in this woodstove.
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
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a re.
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 woodstove
and criss-cross 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 approimately
1/2"(13mm) - 1"(25mm) until the wood kindling is fully
engulfed in ame.
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
wood has charred.
Curing of the Paint Finish
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.
Normal Operation
WARNING: This wood woodstove 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 woodstove 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 backpuffing or ame roll-out.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length ( recommended 16"(406mm)). 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 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.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This woodstove is not designed for open door burning.

WARNING: No alteration or modication of the combustion air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering
will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the
fuel. Burn directly on the re bricks. Replace broken or
missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous
condition.
2. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove
part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room
and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates
inadequate draft.
Ash Removal
Restarting After Extended or Overnight
Burns
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the
woodstove. 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.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS Woodstove: Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed woodstove design specications can result in permanent damage to the woodstove
and chimney.
Over Firing
Over ring can be caused by operating the unit with the door
open, 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.
Heat Output Calculation
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU's per pound.
The calculation is as follows:
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the woodstove
is cold.
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.
Optional Ash Cleanout system: The ash dump handle is
located under the ash lip on the left hand side behind the
lower grill. To operate ash dump, remove the lower grill, pull
handle out 1/2"(13mm) and turn clockwise. This will unlock
the ash dump and allow it to open. Hold handle open while
pulling ashes into the opening. Avoid large embers as these
still contain heat value. Release handle and push in to lock.
Ensure ash dump door is properly engaged. Fill the cavity
with the remaining ash level with the rebox oor. Lift and pull
out ashpan and discard ashes into metal container. Replace
ashpan and ensure it is seated properly.
Do not burn with ash dump door open. Doing so will create a hazardous condition. Always leave about 1"(25mm)
of ash when cleaning.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed 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.
Experience will give you the right settings for proper
combustion and efficient burning. Remember the correct air
inlet setting is affected by variables such as type of wood,
outside temperature, chimney size and weather conditions.
With practice, you will become procient in operating your
woodstove and will obtain the performance for which it was
designed.
Proper Draft
1. 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.
130715-24 5
Storing Wood Beneath Unit
It is possible to store wood between the stove pedestals, underneath the unit. The wood must not extend further forward
than ush with the pedestals. Do not store paper or other
stove lighting devices within the pedestal area. Although this
is possible it is not recommended. NOTE: Refer to local re
codes, CAN-B365 and NFPA 211 in the U.S..
WARNING: IF YOU CHOOSE TO STORE WOOD BENEATH
YOUR UNIT, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LOADING THE WOODSTOVE. EMBERS CAN FALL AND MAY
IGNITE WOOD BENEATH STOVE.

Maintenance
1. Burn cord wood only, dry and well seasoned. The denser
or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its heat value.
This is why hardwoods are generally preferred. Green or
wet wood will cause a rapid buildup of creosote. If you
feel it is necessary to burn wet or unseasoned wood, do
so only with the air inlet set open enough to maintain a
good strong re and fairly high chimney temperatures. Do
not attempt to burn overnight using green wood or wet
wood. Wet wood can cause up to 25% drop in woodstove
output, as well as contributing signicantly to creosote
buildup.
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other
volatile liquid to start a re. Do not burn garbage, or
ammable uids such as gasoline, naptha, or engine
oil. We strongly recommend that smoke detectors be
installed.
2. Remove ashes frequently. Embers can roll out the door
and create a re hazard.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor
wood, it can readily be cleaned with replace glass cleaner
when stove 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 difficult
to remove is a result of wet and green wood and too slow
a burning rate. This heavy deposit is building up at least
as quickly in the chimney.
WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS AND
COMPONENTS SUPPLIED BY MANUFACTURER
WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE OR
REPLACEMENTS.
To remove broken glass, remove the door gasket and then
undo the eight screws securing the gasket guides and glass
retainers. Remove all particles of glass . Be careful as they are
very sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace
glass retainers and gasket guides then install new door gasket
as per instructions provided with the door gasket kit.
CAUTION:
- do not overtighten, tighten screws very carefully
- do not clean glass when hot
- do not use abrasive cleaners on glass
6. 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 front of the rebox.
7. Do not store wood within woodstove installation clearances,
or within the space required for fuel loading and ash
removal. Keep the area around the woodstove clean and
free of loose combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.
8. Establish a routine for the fuel, woodburning and
ring technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until
experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe.
9. Be aware that the hotter the re, the less creosote is
deposited. Weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild
weather, even though monthly cleaning is usually enough
in the coldest months when burning rates are higher.
10. Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation
of the woodstove. 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 "In Case of Chimney Fire".
Baffle Removal
4. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used on this unit (5/16"
medium density berglass 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.
5. DOOR GLASS - 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 stove.
Replacement glass can be obtained from your dealer.
Use 16-7/8"(423mm) x 11-1/8"(283mm) x 5 mm. Ceramic
glass only. Do not substitute with any other type.

Chimney connector pipe should be disconnected from stove
to clean and inspect. Only if this is not possible should you
remove baffle assembly. CAUTION: Ceramic blanket insulation
is located on top of baffle. Do not use a vacuum in this area.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR
INSULATION REMOVED.
Remove retaining pin at the back top of the rebox, just under
the baffle. Lift baffle up and pull forward to disconnect from
the supply tube. Tilt baffle sideways to drop down and remove
from rebox. Re-install baffle assembly in reverse order.
WARNING Sweep/Clean chimney with baffle installed or be
sure to plug the top of the baffle tube in the back of the rebox
before sweeping or cleaning. Failure to prevent ash or soot
from falling into the baffle tube will cause incorrect operation
and will lead to premature burn out of the tube or baffle.
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)
Some warping of the baffle is normal(up to 1/4” or .65cm). Replace if the baffle has permanent warping greater than this or
has signs of cracking or breakage.
Weekly:
- Firebrick - 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 - located in the upper front of rebox.
- Baffle locking pin.
- Boost tube cover - located in center of manifold, bottom front of rebox.
When Cleaning the
Chimney System:
- Top baffle board/blanket.
- Baffle.
- Brick Rails.
- Manifold - located in bottom front of rebox.
Blower:
- The blower should be cleaned out a minimum every six months by using a vacumn on the grill openings in the back and
bottom of the blower casing to remove any dust and debris.
- Please contact your dealer if you experience any of the damage listed above. Continuing to operate your stove with bro-
ken parts may accelerate damage to other parts and may void your warranty
