1.  INTRODUCTION 

Take note that this furnace operates like an EPA wood burning stove.  This applies to the lighting, the ember bed, and 
the minimum combustion air intake which was determined based on the use of good seasoned cordwood. 

The Max Caddy furnace was tested and approved according to the CSA B415.1-10 Standard.    

To optimize the efficiency of your furnace, here is some advice that you should follow when installing or operating your 
Max Caddy. 

 

Respect the local codes (when in doubt, consult your local dealer); 

 

Make sure your furnace is installed according to the instructions on the certification label; 

 

All controls and adjustments must be performed by a qualified technician. The blower speed must conform to 

the recommendations of local codes and should respect the  static pressure ranges in the warm air plenum of 
the furnace. 

We recommend that our wood burning hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals who are certified in 
the United States by NFI (National Fireplace Institute

®

) or in Canada by WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) or in 

Quebec by APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage).
