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
removal. 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 fi r-
ing 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 fi re, 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 fi res and the importance
of following the steps outlined "In Case of Chimney
Fire".
Safety and
Maintenance
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 fi re 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
signifi cantly to creosote buildup.
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other
volatile liquid to start a fi re. Do not burn garbage,
or fl ammable fl uids 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 fi re hazard. Maintain a 25mm minimum
ash base.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or
poor wood, it can readily be cleaned with a fi replace
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 fl ue 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 also 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 Pacifi c 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 Pacifi c Energy dealer.
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
214mm x 351mm x 5mm must be used.
Do not sub-
stitute 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.
