Boilers intended to be connected to an existing boiler or boiler system shall:
1. Be capable of being installed without interfering with the normal delivery of heated water from the original boiler to
the radiation system.
2. Be capable of being installed to operate as intended without affecting the operation of the electrical and
mechanical safety controls of the original boiler.
3. Provide, upon completion of the installation, for a changeover from one heat source to the other without requiring
manual adjustment of any controls or components other than the thermostats.
4. Be compatible with the operation of a service water-heating coil within the original boiler without bypassing the
operation of the solid fuel boiler.
5. Have provision for preventing, or adequate water capacity within the boiler to prevent, damage to the boiler
from loss of circulation due to electrical power failure.
6. Be capable of being installed without changing the function of the controls or rewiring of the original boiler. A
wiring interconnection may be used. The electrical system of both boilers shall be powered from a single branch circuit.
Warning!
Always disconnect the power to the boiler before any cleaning or maintenance. Service agreements increases op-
eration length and life of the unit. For more information contact your local WoodMaster dealer. Replacement parts

Emission Standards
The Woodmaster CleanFire 400 was tested by Dirigo Laboratories, Inc., a third party certification facility, to EPA
Method 28 WHH. The CleanFire 400 is certified to comply with 2020 particulate emission standards with the follow-
ing values:
0.07 Lb/MMBTU output and 1.04 g/hr average
67% Delivered Annual Efficiency using higher heating value
73% Delivered Efficiency at maximum burn rate using higher heating value
8hr burn rate: 88,750 btu/hr. Heat Output range 23,626-102,408 btu/hr
Weighted average CO emissions of 0.93 g/min tested to CSA B415.1-10. CO emissions will vary depending on burn
rate, and fuel species and moisture content. All wood fired heating appliances will create CO. Take care not to cre-
ate a dangerous condition. Use of a CO detector should be used in areas that are expected to generate or collect
CO, such as all indoor installations.
