Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause
excessive 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.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a
tasteless, odorless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to barbecue in this heater.

How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more
than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses
and blackens without igniting in five minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.
CAUTION:
Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to
start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
CAUTION:
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY wood heater is designed for many years of trouble free operation. Over firing the
appliance will shorten the life of the product. Failure to rectify an over firing condition can be hazardous and
may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural Cordwood only
. Higher efficiency and lower emissions
generally result when burning air-dried seasoned woods, as compared to green or freshly cut woods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the fire
to smoulder and produce large amounts of smoke and creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and
tends to go out often. Wood should be stored under cover away from open flame or heat sources.
