Do not burn with ash dump door open. Doing so will create
a hazardous condition. Always leave about 1"(25mm) of ash
when cleaning.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed outside on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other
waste should not be placed in this container.
Baffle Removal
Chimney connector pipe should be disconnected from stove to
clean and inspect. Only if this is not possible should you remove
baffle assembly.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR
INSULATION REMOVED.
Removal
Remove retaining pin at the rear inside top of the firebox, 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
firebox. Inspect gasket between baffle and supply tube. If necessary,
replace with gasket #SUMB.31396 available from your Pacific Energy
dealer. Re-install baffle assembly in reverse order. Ensure that the
two side pieces of insulation are set inside the siderails and tight
against the baffle. If the insulation is damaged during removal, it
should be replaced.
NOTE: AFTER YOU REMOVE THE BAFFLE, ALWAYS COVER
THE BAFFLE AIR TUBE THAT PROVIDES AIR TO THE
BAFFLE. THIS PREVENTS DEBRIS FALLING DOWN THE
TUBE.
Secondary Air Box Removal and
Cleaning:
1. The secondary air box is located on the bottom rear of the
woodstove and can be cleaned by removing the two screws
securing the cover plate on the rear face of the secondary air
box and using a vacuum to suck out any debris.
2. To remove the secondary air box, use a 3/8" wrench and undo
the two #10 Keps nuts, one on each side of the secondary air
box. Lower the secondary air box and slide out.
3. Reverse this process to re-install the secondary air box.
* MAKE SURE THE GASKET IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND
POSITIONED CORRECTLY.
Restarting After Extended or Overnight
Burns
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater.
Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers, close door.
2. Adjust air control to "H" (Start) position and in just a few minutes,
logs should begin burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum firing rate, set control to high. Do not
use this setting other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel
loads.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat
output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result
in permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
Heat Output Calculation
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU’s per pound.
The calculation is as follows:
Experience will give you the right settings for proper combustion and
efficient burning. Remember the correct air inlet setting is affected by
variables such as type of wood, outside temperature, chimney size
and weather conditions. With practice, you will become proficient
in operating your heater and will obtain the performance for which
it was designed.
Proper Draft
1. Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through
the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on
the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions
and other factors.
2. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove part
or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and
plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room through
appliance and chimney connector joints indicates inadequate
draft.
Ash Removal
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the heater is cold.
Whenever ashes get 3(76mm) to 4(102mm) inches deep in your
firebox, and when fire has burned down and cooled, remove excess
ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1" (25 mm) deep on the
firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Optional Ash Cleanout system: The ash dump handle is located
under the ash lip on the left hand side. To operate ash dump, pull
handle out 1/2"(12mm) and turn clockwise. This will unlock the ash
dump and allow it to open. Hold handle open while pulling ashes
into the opening. Avoid large embers as these still contain heat
value. Release handle and push in to lock. Ensure ash dump door
is properly engaged. Fill the cavity with the remaining ash level
with the firebox floor. Lift and pull out ashpan and discard ashes into
metal container. Replace ashpan and ensure it is seated properly.
