Safety and
Maintenance
1. Burn 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 should
not be used, as it will reduce heat output, as well as contributing
signi cantly 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. Maintain a 1" minimum ash base.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor wood,
it can readily be cleaned with replace glass cleaner when the
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.
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 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.
8. If gold door requires cleaning, use mild soap and water only.
Use of abrasive cleaners will void warranty.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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
"In Case of Chimney Fire".
WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS
SUPPLIED OR SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER WHEN
DOING MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENTS.
4. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used by Paci c Energy (7/8"
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. Follow instructions included in the
DR31.WDGKIT, kit obtainable from your nearest Paci c Energy
dealer.
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 9-1/2" x 17-1/2" x 5 mm.
Ceramic glass only. Do not substitute with any other type.
To remove broken glass, undo the four retaining screws and remove
clamps and frame, noting position for re-assembly. Remove all
particles of glass . Be careful as they are very sharp. Install new
glass complete with gasket. Replace frame, clamps and screws.
CAUTION:
- do not overtighten, tighten screws very carefully
- do not clean glass when hot
- do not use abrasive cleaners on glass

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.
- Baffle locking pin.
- Boost tube cover.
When Cleaning the
Chimney System:
- Top baffle board/blanket.
- Baffle.
- Top heat shield and mounting bolt.
- Baffle Gasket.
- Brick Rails.
- Manifold.
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.
- 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 cracking or breakage.
- Please contact your Dealer if you experience any of the damage listed above. Continuing to operate
your stove with broken parts may accelerate damage to other parts and may void your warranty

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 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 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. Smoke-free, 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 signi cantly 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 the buildup.
In Case of a Chimney Fire
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 certi ed installer, (certi ed 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 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 inlet
excessively open.)
NOTE: WHEN CLEANING THE CHIMNEY, ALWAYS COVER THE
BAFFLE AIR TUBE THAT PROVIDES AIR TO THE BAFFLE
AFTER YOU REMOVE THE BAFFLE.
Chimney Fires
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney re. Chimney
res are dangerous. Chimney inside temperatures can exceed
2000° F. 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
