Pristine series installation and oPeration Manual • 2011 5
• The Pristine furnace is designed to work in conjunction
with another heat source. We recommend this furnace
not to be used as a stand alone unit. Should the
system fail or run out of wood, a backup system must
be in place.
• For best efficiency and cleanest burn, use only
seasoned firewood. NEVER burn trash, tires, solvents,
plastics, gasoline, engine oil, gasoline or other
flammable liquids, rubber, naptha, household garbage,
material treated with petroleum products (particle
board, railroad ties and pressure treated, painted, or
kiln dried wood), leaves, paper products, or cardboard.
• Start the fire with paper and small kindling.
• The Pristine furnace is designed to operate under
atmospheric pressure only. ALWAYS keep the vent cap
/ water level indicator loose over the vent opening. Do
not seal or clamp down the vent cap.
• Keep area around the furnace clean at all times to
avoid possible fire hazards. Adhere to installation
clearance and restrictions.
• The Pristine may be installed on a well constructed
combustible floor, however, a noncombustible liner must
be placed underneath and around the furnace. See page 9,
Installation Requirements, item #1 for details.
• The Pristine rear access cover is secured with 2 screws.
Because of an electrocution hazard and hot surfaces,
always keep children away. Rear access cover must
ALWAYS be in place, with screws secured with wrench.
• Read the manual carefully and read all decals on the
Pristine furnace. Should you have any questions not
answered in this manual, contact your dealer.

combustible materials.
in the event of loss of electrical power:
1. Open all flow-check and zone valves in the system.
Depending on system design, this may allow
convective circulation.
2. It is important to remember that the heating system
cannot dispose of a great deal of heat without the
circulators running. Avoid over-firing! DO NOT LOAD
LARGE AMOUNTS OF SOLID FUEL INTO THE FURNACE!
Fire the furnace cautiously until it is determined how
quickly the heat system is able to dissipate the heat
being produced by the furnace.
3. When the power has returned, reset all flow-check
and zone valves and resume normal operation of the
system.
4. Check water level.
In the event of a runaway fire:
1. Ensure the firebox door is tightly closed.
2. Close all combustion air inlets on the furnace.
to cool an overheated furnace:
1. Turn all thermostats to their highest temperature
setting.
