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 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 as 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 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 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
(7/8" medium density fi berglass rope) 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. Follow instructions included in the DR31.
WDGKIT kit 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 impact the glass. If the glass gets
cracked or broken,
it must be replaced before us-
ing the stove. Replacement glass can be obtained
from your dealer. Use 8-13/16" x 15-1/4" x 5 mm.
Ceramic glass only.
Do not substitute with any
other type.
To remove broken glass, undo the four retaining screws
and remove clamps and 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, clamps and screws.
CAUTION:
- 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 loose combustibles, furniture, newspapers,
etc.
8. If gold door requires cleaning, use mild soap and
water only. Use of abrasive cleaners will void war-
ranty.
9. 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 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 Case of Chimney Fire".
