5.  DOOR GLASS -Do not slam loading door or otherwise 

impact glass.  When closing door, make sure that no logs 

protrude to impact the glass.  If the glass gets cracked 

or broken, 

it must be replaced before using the stove.

  

Replacement  glass  can  be  obtained  from  your  dealer.  

Only ceramic glass, which measures 8-5/8" x 14-1/8" x 5mm 

must be used. 

Do not substitute with any other type.

  To remove broken glass, undo the four retaining screws and 

remove the frame, noting position for re-assembly.  Remove 

all  particles  of  glass.    Be  careful,  as  they  are  very 

sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket.  Replace 

frame and screws.

 

  CAUTION: 

  - do not overtighten, tighten screws very carefully

  - do not clean glass when hot

  - do not use abrasive cleaners on glass

6.  Do not store wood within heater installation clearances, 

or within the space required for fuel loading and ash re-

moval.  Keep the area around the heater clean and free of 

loose combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.

7.  If gold door requires cleaning, use mild soap and water 

only.  

Use of abrasive cleaners will void warranty.

8.  Establish  a  routine  for  the  fuel,  woodburning  and  firing 

technique.  Check daily for creosote buildup until experience 

shows how often you need to be cleaning to be safe.

9.  Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited.  

Weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather, even though 

monthly cleaning is usually enough in the coldest months 

when burning rates are higher.

10. Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation 

of the heater.  Ensure they have enough knowledge of the entire 

system if they are expected to operate it.  Stress the section 

on chimney fires and the importance of following the steps 

outlined "In Case of Chimney Fire".

•  PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•  NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE DETECTORS 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 fire door open. Do 

not disconnect the detectors. If necessary, relocate them to reduce their sensitivity.

•  SAFETY NOTICE: IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RE

-

SULT.  FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL 

BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION 

REqUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

1.  Burn wood only, dry and well seasoned.  The denser or 

heavier the wood when dry, the greater its heat value.  This is 

why hardwoods are generally preferred.  Green or wet wood 

will  cause  a  rapid  buildup  of  creosote.    If  you  feel  it  is 

necessary to burn wet or unseasoned wood, do so only with 

the air inlet set open enough to maintain a good strong 

fire and fairly high chimney temperatures.  Do not attempt 

to burn overnight using green wood or wet wood. Wet wood 

can cause up to 50% drop in heater output, as well as 

contributing significantly to creosote buildup.

 

WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile 

liquid to start a fire.  Do not burn garbage, or flam

-

mable  fluids  such  as  gasoline,  naphtha,  or  engine 

oil.  We strongly recommend that smoke detectors be 

installed.

2.  Remove ashes frequently.  Embers can roll out the door 

and create a fire hazard. Maintain a 1" minimum ash base.

3.  If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor 

wood,  it  can  readily  be  cleaned  with  a  fireplace  glass 

cleaner when stove is cold.  Never scrape with an object 

that might scratch the glass.  The type and amount of deposit 

on the glass is a good indication of the flue pipe and chimney 

buildup.  A light brown dusty deposit that is easily wiped 

off  usually  indicates  good  combustion  and  dry,  well 

seasoned wood and therefore relatively clean pipes and 

chimney.  On the other hand, a black greasy deposit that is 

difficult to remove is a result of wet and green wood and 

too slow a burning rate.  This heavy deposit is building up 

at least as quickly in the chimney.

 

WARNING:  ONLY  USE  MATERIALS  SUPPLIED  BY 

MANUFACTURER WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE OR 

REPLACEMENTS.

4.  DOOR GASKETS -The gasket used by Pacific Energy requires 

only  light  pressure  to  seal.    This  will  prolong  seal  life. 

It is important that the door seal be maintained in good 

condition.    Periodically  inspect  seals  and  replace  if 

necessary.  Obtain a replacement gasket from your nearest 

Pacific Energy dealer.
