IMPORTANT:
1. Use only soft, clean, filtered water in the
Pristine. Add Northland Distributing approved
water treatment to the water to prevent
corrosion (available from your Pristine
dealer). For amount of treatment to add follow
instructions on the container.
2. Approved antifreeze may be added to the
water chamber to prevent freezing should
the furnace and the pump shut down due to
a power failure or other cause. For amount
of antifreeze to add follow instructions on the
container.
Use only environmentally friendly, propylene
glycol based, low toxicity, non-petroleum based
antifreeze designed for use in hot water furnace
systems.
First Fill
Note: The Pristine comes with an overflow port (see
page 8). a line may be connected from the port to a
drain.
1. Attach a garden hose, with two female ends, from
the water supply to the drain (see pg 8). Turn on
the water and open drain valve.
2. Check all lines and connectors for leaks.
3.
Open the SUPPLY valve (see pg 8) at the furnace
and let water run for 2 minutes and then close it.
4. Now open the RETURN valve (see pg 8) at the furnace
and let water run for 2 minutes and then close it.
5. Repeat above procedure 3 to 4 times during filling
of the furnace. Alternating between lines will ensure
that most of the air is bled from the system.
6. When the level indicator shows 1/2 full, shut the
drain valve, shut off water and disconnect the
garden hose. Note: hot water level is higher than
cold water level.
7. Heat furnace to operating temperature (see ‘Starting
the Fire’ below). Check water level again.
8. Add Northland Distributing approved water
treatment through vent opening, Figure 3.
9. Check water level when water temperature is
170°F (77°C) and add water until level indicator
shows full.
Maintaining Proper Water level
When the water level is low, the Pristine may be filled or
topped up through the vent opening, Figure 3.
starting the Fire in the Hot Water Furnace
Once the Pristine has been properly installed, all
connections checked thoroughly and the water system
is filled to the proper level, the unit is ready for starting
a fire.
1. Switch blower on.
2. Place some dry split kindling in the centre of the
firebox, on top of some paper, and ignite.
3. Once the kindling begins to burn, add larger pieces
of wood until the fire burns briskly. Stir the fire until a
sufficient coal bed is obtained. Do not fill the firebox
of the furnace to capacity until the water in the
furnace is hot.
DO NOT USE THE DOOR AS A LEVER TO FORCE WOOD
INTO THE FIREBOX! PIECES OF WOOD SHOULD NOT
PROTRUDE INTO THE DOOR FRAME AREA.
note: The Pristine has been pressure tested at the
factory for water leaks. Some condensation may be
observed in the firebox while the furnace is coming up
to temperature after the water has become completely
cold. To avoid creosote buildup in the firebox and furnace,
burn only seasoned wood in the Pristine furnace.
Maintaining Proper Water temperature
Do not operate the furnace below a temperature of
150°F (66°C).
this is important in order to maintain
the warranty.
