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 or wet wood. Wet wood can cause up to 25% 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
a gasoline, naptha, 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 1" minimum ash base.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor
wood, it can readily be cleaned with any 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 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 building up at least as quickly in the
chimney.
WARNING: Only use materials supplied by the manufacturer
when doing maintenance or replacements.
4. DOOR GASKET - 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. Use
DR31.WDGKIT, obtainable 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 contact 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. The size required
is 8-13/16 x 15-1/4 x 5 mm. Ceramic glass must be used. Do
not substitute 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.
WARNING: Do not overtighten, tighten screws very
carefully.
- Do not clean glass when hot
- Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass
6. The area where boost combustion air enters the fi rebox must
be kept clear of excessive ash buildup which will block air
fl ow. This area is at the front of the fi rebox.
7. 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 all
combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.
8. If a plated door requires cleaning, use mild soap and water
only. Use of abrasive cleaners will void warranty.
9. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and fi ring
technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until experience
shows how often you need to clean to be safe.
10. 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.
11. 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 “In Case of Chimney Fire”.
Baffle Removal
The Insert and pipe should be removed from the fi replace to
clean and inspect. Only if this is not possible should you remove
baffle assembly.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR INSULATION
REMOVED.
Baffle Assembly Removal
Remove retaining pin at the back top of the fi rebox, just under
the baffle. Lift baffle up and pull forward to disconnect from the
supply tube. Tilt baffle sideways to drop down and remove from
fi rebox.
Inspect gasket between baffle and supply tube. If necessary,
replace with gasket # 139.5 available from your nearest Pacifi c
Energy Dealer.
Re-install baffle assembly and insulation by reversing order.
