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

-Waste petroleum products, paints or paint
thinners, or asphalt products
-Materials containing asbestos
-Construction or demolition debris

* 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 heater ineffective and cause smoke.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not
prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard,
saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a fire in an affected wood heater.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY heater is designed for maximum
overall efficiency at a moderate firing rate. Over firing is
hazardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes
to creosote buildup and lowers combustion efficiency.
NOTE: Left and Right as referred to in this manual are
considered your left and right when facing the front of the
fireplace.
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a fire.
1. Adjust the air control located under the ashshelf to
"High"(Full Left) position and open door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater
and crisscross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add
a few small pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and close the door. (Depending on length
of chimney installation, you may need to leave door open
approximately 1/2"(13mm) until kindling is fully ignited.)
DO NOT LEAvE FIREPLACE UNATTENDED WhILE
DOOR IS OPEN.
4. After the fire has established itself, open the door and
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/Insulation
To achieve the best finish, the paint on your fireplace must
be baked on. When burning your fireplace for the first 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 heater has a manufacturer-set
minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is
against federal regulations to alter this setting or other-
wise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent
with the operating instructions in this manual.
1. Set the 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 finding the
desired setting 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"(Full Left) position,
and give the fire time to brighten. Open the door slowly,
this will prevent back puffing.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length
(recommended 18”(457mm)). Load your wood and try
to place the logs so that the air can flow 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 maximum
setting before adjusting the air control for an overnight
burn.
WARNING: Always keep the loading door closed when
burning. This heater is not designed for open door
burning. If unit is operated with the door open, gases
and flame may be drawn out of the fireplace opening
creating risks of both fire and smoke.
WARNING: No alteration or modification 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 fire bricks. Replace broken or
missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous
condition.
