Your PACIFIC ENERGY heater is designed for maximum
overall efficiency at a moderate fi ring rate. Over fi ring is
hazardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes
to creosote buildup and lowers combustion efficiency.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher ef-
fi ciency and lower emissions generally result when burning
air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods
or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months
or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the fi re to smoulder
and produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also pro-
duces very little heat and tends to go out often.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal,
can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless,
odourless 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 fi ve minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.
Lighting for the First Time
Curing of the Paint Finish/Insulation
To achieve the best fi nish, the paint on your stove must be
baked on. When burning your stove for the fi rst 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.
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a fi re.
1. Adjust air control to far 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" until kindling is fully ignited.)
DO NOT
LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WHILE DOOR IS OPEN.
4. After the fi re 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.
Normal Operation
1. Set 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 fi nding the de-
sired setting for your application 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 far left position, and give
the fi re time to brighten. Open the door slowly, this will
prevent back puffing.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to
20"). Load your wood endwise and try to place the logs
so that the air can fl ow 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 air control for overnight burn.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burn-
ing. This heater is not designed for open door burning. If
unit is operated with the door open, gas and fl ame may
be drawn out of the fi replace opening creating risks of
both fi re and smoke.
WARNING: No alteration or modifi cation of the combus-
tion 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 fi re bricks. Replace broken or
missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous
condition.
Restarting After Extended or Overnight
Burns
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the
heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers,
close door.
2. Adjust air control to the far left position and in just a few
minutes, logs should begin burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum fi ring rate, set control to high. Do
not use this setting other than for starting or preheating
fresh fuel loads.
DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER: ATTEMPTS TO
ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO THE HEATER AND CHIMNEY AND MAY VOID
MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.
