Operation
CAUTION:
Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kero-
sene, charcoal lighter fl uid or similar liquids to start or "freshen
up" a fi re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from
the heater while it is in use.
CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing
and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY heater is designed for maximum overall
efficiency at a moderate fi ring rate. Overfi 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
too 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 produces
very little heat and tends to go out often.
DO NOT BURN :
-Salt water wood *
-Treated wood
-Wet or green wood
-Coal/charcoal
-Garbage/Plastic *
-Solvents
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly
destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
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
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. Move air control lever to the left-most position (maximum
fi ring rate) and open door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and
criss-cross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add a few
small pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and close the door.
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 panel makes fi nding the
desired 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 high, and give the fi re
time to brighten. Open the door slowly, this will prevent
backpuffing.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to 18").
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 burning.
This heater is not designed for open door burning.
WARNING: No alteration or modifi cation of the combustion
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.
