CleanFire Owners Manual
2016
WoodMaster CleanFire on a proper support will result in a voided warranty. Never use combustible materials, such
as wood blocks, to support the CleanFire. This drawing shows the outside dimensions of the boiler along with the
boiler feet placement and the location of the plumbing and electrical cutout.
Trench
The trench must be 24 inches deep and 6 to 12 inches wide. It can be dug with a shovel or a backhoe. Place all the
dirt to one side of the trench to allow room for working on the other side.
Wiring
Place electrical supply in bottom of trench and cover with 6 inches of dirt. Electrical wire rated for underground
use can be buried in the same trench as the water lines but must maintain a minimum 24 inch depth. The wire
used should be 14-2 +ground AWG or larger wire rated for at least 105o C. Always follow state and local codes. The
CleanFire needs a 120 V connection with a 15 amp circuit for the basic unit. The unit must be properly grounded to
ensure proper operation. Failure to properly ground the unit will result in a voided warranty. Use copper wire and
conductors only.
Water Lines
The remaining 18 inches of open trench is where the water lines are placed. Use only water line approved by North-
west Manufacturing through your Woodmaster Dealer. Oxygen barrier line is recommended.
NOTE:
If lines travel under a driveway or where heavy equipment travels, the line should be buried two to three
feet deep. If lines travel through a low or wet area, they should be insulated and installed in a water tight piping,
(PVC).
Note: Leave a minimum of three feet of water line exposed above ground at the boiler to
insure adequate length for connection.
Note: Before insulating and burying the water lines, label the hot water supply line at both ends. Once the
lines are covered you will be able to easily determine which line is connected to the pump.
Note: Use only approved water line insulation sold through your WoodMaster Dealer. Poor insulation will cause
your Wood Master boiler to burn large amounts of fuel, and hurt the efficiency of the system. For best results
use high quality insulation.
Note: Remove the chimney cap before firing your WoodMaster. Replace the chimney cap when the boiler is off
for extended periods.
Note: Check the fire chamber and remove any accessories that are included before starting the boiler.
Note: DO NOT seal or insulate any of the seams on the exterior panels of the CleanFire. The gaps in the seams
are necessary to supply combustion air to the boiler.
An annual blow down of the pressure vessels is recommended to remove any sediment.
