1. INTRODUCTION
This furnace operates like an EPA wood burning stove. This applies to the lighting, the ember bed, and the minimum
combustion air intake which was determined based on the use of good seasoned cordwood.
The Mini-Caddy furnace is EPA certified and tested and approved according to the CSA B415.1-10 Standard.
To optimize the efficiency of your furnace, here is some advice that you should follow when installing or operating your
Mini-Caddy.
Respect the local codes (when in doubt, consult your local dealer);
Make sure your furnace is installed according to the instructions on the certification label;
All controls and adjustments must be performed by a qualified technician. The blower speed must conform to
the recommendations of local codes and should respect the static pressure ranges in the hot air plenum of the
furnace.
We recommend that our wood burning hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals who are certified in
the United States by NFI (National Fireplace Institute®) or in Canada by WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) or in
Quebec by APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage).

[*] Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft, heat loss factors,
climate, fuel type and other variables. The recommended heating area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its
capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature considering that the space configuration and the presence of heat
distribution systems have a significant impact in making heat circulation optimum.

7. CHIMNEY AND DRAFT
This furnace must be connected to a chimney certified for use with wood burning heating appliances. A 6chimney and
flue pipe are mandatory for the Mini-Caddy.
The unit is not to be connected to a chimney serving another appliance. If the flue pipe draft exceeds -0.06 IN.W.C., a
barometric damper should be installed. Never install a manual damper. The barometric damper must be adjusted so
that the maximum draft measured in the flue pipe does not exceed -0.06 IN.W.C. Please note that a draft exceeding
-0.06 IN.W.C. could produce an uncontrollable fire. On the other hand, the minimum draft required is 0.04 IN.W.C.
in the flue pipe on the wood side, no matter what type of furnace (WOOD or WOOD / ELECTRIC). The air inlets
should in no case be modified to increase combustion.
8. SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
THE INFORMATION GIVEN ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL AFFIXED TO THE APPLIANCE ALWAYS
OVERRIDES THE INFORMATION PUBLISHED, IN ANY OTHER MEDIA (OWNER’S MANUAL, CATALOGUES,
FLYERS, MAGAZINES AND/OR WEB SITES).
8.1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
MAKE SURE THE HEAT EXCHANGERS, THE FLUE PIPES AND THE CHIMNEY ARE CLEAN AND IN GOOD
CONDITION.
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR LIQUIDS TO LIGHT THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN WOOD COATED WITH PAINT, GLUE OR CHEMICAL PRODUCTS.
DO NOT BURN WASTES OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, MOTOR OIL, OR OTHER
UNSUITABLE MATTERS.
DO NOT STORE WOOD IN THE VICINITY OF THE FURNACE. RESPECT THE REQUIRED CLEARANCES
BETWEEN COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND THE SOURCE OF HEAT.

10
AIR DUCTS SERVING A GARAGE SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO OTHER PARTS OF A HOUSE AND THE
DUCTING SERVING A HOUSE SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO A GARAGE.
WARNING
THE ASH DRAWER AND EXCHANGERS ACCESS PANEL GET VERY HOT. DO NOT MANIPULATE WITH BARE
HANDS.
8.2. ODOUR FROM THE PAINT
It is normal that smoke and odours emanate from the unit when you first light it. It is recommended to burn it at high
rate and ventilate the house until the odours disappear. The smoke is not toxic. This should be done before the
ducts are connected to the furnace to prevent smoke dispersion in the house.
8.3. ASH DISPOSAL
Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The container should be stored outdoor, well away
from combustible materials. This container should not contain any other type of waste. If the ashes are meant to be
buried in soil, wait until all embers have thoroughly cooled before burying.
8.4. CREOSOTE BUILD-UP AND REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which, when combined with moisture, form
creosote. The creosote vapours condensate in a relatively cool flue pipe. As a result, creosote residues accumulate
inside the flue pipe and the heat exchangers.
N.B.: To minimize the frequency of the chimney cleaning, buy your firewood at least one year before using it. In order
to obtain the minimum moisture rate and optimize the efficiency, store it in a dry place, under a shelter. Do not store
wood or combustible materials within the installation minimum clearances or the space required to reload the appliance
and remove ashes.
When ignited, creosote produces an extremely hot fire inside the chimney.
In the first year of use, inspect the chimney system at regular intervals to determine a cleaning cycle. Depending on
the type of wood used and its quality, a semi-annual cleaning may be required. A yearly cleaning is mandatory. If a
significant layer of creosote has accumulated, it must be removed immediately to eliminate the risk of chimney
fire.
Remember that a small, hot fire is preferable to a large smouldering one to prevent creosote build-ups. Prepare an
emergency procedure in case of a chimney fire. It is recommended to clean the heat exchangers the flue pipe and
the chimney thoroughly at the end of season in order to prevent corrosion.
8.5. SMOKE DETECTOR
We highly recommend the use of a smoke detector. It must be installed at least 15 feet (4,57 m) from the appliance in
order to prevent undue triggering of the detector when reloading.
8.6. DOOR GLASS
To maintain a clean and safe installation, do not build your fire too close to the glass or allow logs to lean on the glass.
Do not operate your furnace at a too low burning regime. Keep the air inlet opened long enough during the fire start-up
to prevent the fire from smouldering, which could stain the glass.
An intense fire will help keep the glass clean. However, in the event that your glass gets stained, you will have to clean
it using a wet cloth and a fireplace glass cleaner. Clean the glass ONLY when the unit has cooled down. Do not use
abrasive cleanser.
WARNING: AVOID KNOCKING OR SCRATCHING THE GLASS. IT COULD CRACK OR BREAK.
