PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual describes the installation and operation of the Pacifi c Energy, FP16 wood heater. This heater meets the
2015 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's crib wood emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15, 2015. Un-
der specifi c test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 10,800 to 24,600 Btu/hr.
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 fi re door open. Do not disconnect the detectors.
SAFETY NOTICE: If this stove is not properly installed, a house fi re may result. For your safety, follow the installa-
tion instructions. Contact local building or fi re officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements
in you area.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may result in
property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
