Into a Masonry Fireplace
Inspect your fireplace for cracks, loose mortar or other physi-
cal defects. If repairs are required, they should be completed
before installing your insert.
The fireplace chimney must be suitable for wood burning use.
Checkforcreosote buildupor otherobstructions,especially if
it has not been in use for some time.
Theexisting fireplacedamper isto be lockedopen orremoved
completely.
WARNING: Do not remove bricks or mortar from your
existing fireplace.
Exception: Masonryorsteel,includingthedamperplate,may
be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame
if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner, provided that
theirremovalwillnotweakenthestructureofthefireplaceand
chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible ma-
terialstolessthanthatrequiredbytheNationalBuildingCode.
The Insert must be installed in accordance with local and or
national building codes. The two methods of flue connection
that are acceptable in most areas are:
Full Flue Liner: where a stainless steel rigid or flexible liner
extends from the Insert flue collar to the top of the chimney.
Positive Flue Connection: where a throat blocker plate and
a short connector pipe is used.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a positive flue connection is used. Consult local codes.
PacificEnergy highlyrecommends theuseof afulllineras
the safest installation and providing optimum perform-
ance. When connected to a full liner, the Insert is able to
draft correctly and will prevent problems such as difficult
start-ups and smoking out the door.

Full Flue Liner - (Required in Canada)
1) Measure the chimney height from the top of the existing
flue to the floor of the hearth. This will allow extra length
of liner for flashing and rain cap.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner from top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the fireplace cavity.
3) Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner.
4) Pushthe Insertintoposition insidethefireplace andattach
the connector to the stove collar. Use the rear adjusting
legs to level the Insert.
Note: Forbetter access, thetop ofthecasing maybe removed
(Fig. #4). If it is necessary to get access to the connector
pipe through the flue outlet of the Insert, the baffle can be
removed (see Baffle Removal section).
5) Measure, trim and shape a top flashing to fit the existing
chimneyflue. Plan fora 1”to 1-1/2”overlap on each side.
Place flashing over top of the liner and seat firmly against
the tile.
6) Screw flashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around flashing
with RTV silicone.
7) Attacharaincaptotheendoftheliner. Astormcollarmay
be used if desired.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your fireplace chim-
ney.
Direct Flue Connection
1) Measure from the first chimney flue liner to the top of the
Insert. Allow extra length of liner to insert into flue tile.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner through the damper area and
into the first chimney flue tile. Seal around pipe.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a direct flue connection is used. Consult local codes.
3) Pushthe Insertintoposition insidethefireplace andattach
the connector pipe to the stove collar. Use the rear
adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note: For better access, the top of the casing may be removed

Combustion Air
Consultlocalbuildingcodesregardingcombustionairsupply.
Intakeor combustion air can be supplied tothe Insert inone of
two ways:
1) Outside air supply: Remove cover from ash clean out in
existing fireplace. Place a rodent screen in place of the
cover. Install the Insert as described in the installation
section, making sure not to cover the opening of the air
inlet. When installation is complete, seal surround to
fireplaceandanywhereelseairmayenter.Thiswillensure
combustion air is drawn from outside the house and into
the 9" x 2" intake at the lower rear of the appliance.
2) Room air supply: Install the Insert as described in the
installation section. When the installation is complete do
not seal surround to fireplace. This will allow enough
combustion air to enter the fireplace cavity and the Insert.
As well, the O/A cover may be removed for additional air
supply. Once removed, combustion air is drawn from the
room into the lower front of the Insert.
Removal: The O/A cover should be removed prior to instal-
lation. For better access, tip the Insert onto its back.
1. Using a 3/8" wrench, remove the two screws underneath
the ash lip securing it to the body. Place ash lip on a flat,
stable surface to avoid damage (Fig. #14).
2. Remove front cover panel (Fig. #15).
3. Using a5/16" wrench, removethe screw securingthe O/A
cover to the firebox (Fig. #15).
4. Replace the front cover panel removed in step #4.
5. Replace ashlip and fasten in place with screws previously
removed.

This unit is not designed to be operated with the firing door
open. In addition to the obvious hazard of sparks landing on
combustibles, an open fire door will cause the heater to draw
air from the living space and possibly cause suffocation.

Operation
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning
air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or
too green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months
or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the fire to smoulder
and produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also
produces very little heat and tends to go out often.
DO NOT BURN:
-*Salt water wood -Coal/charcoal
-Treated wood -*Garbage/Plastics
-Wet or green wood -Solvents
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly
destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuel, e.g. charcoal, can
producelargeamountsofcarbonmonoxide,atasteless,odour-
less gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to barbecue in this heater.
How to Test Your Wood
Addalarge piece ofwoodto thestovewhenit hasagoodlarge
bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one side
withinoneminute. It isdampif itturnsblack andlightswithin
three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without
igniting in five minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the
fuel. Burn directly on the firebricks. Replace broken or
missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous
condition.
Your Pacific Energy heater is designed for maximum overall
efficiency at a moderate firing rate. Overfiring is hazardous
and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes to creosote
buildup and lowers combustion efficiency.
Lighting the Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a fire.
1) Adjust air control to "H" (high) position and open door.
2) Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and
criss-cross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add a few
small pieces of dry wood on top.
3) Ignite the paper and close the door.
4) After the fire as established itself, open the door and add a
few small logs. Close door.
5) Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and
wood has charred.
Normal Operation
1) Set air control to desired setting. If smoke pours down
across the glass (waterfall effect), this indicates you have
shut the control down too soon or you are using too low a
setting. As every home’s heating needs vary (i.e. insula-
tion,windows,climate,etc.),thepropersettingcanonlybe
found by trial and error and should be noted for future
burns.
2) To refuel, adjust aircontrol to"H" (high),and give the fire
time to brighten. Open door slowly, this will prevent
backpuffing.
3) Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to
19"). Loadyour woodendwise andtry to place the logsso
that air can flow between them. Always use dry wood.
4) Do notload fuel to a heightor in sucha manner thatwould
be hazardous when opening the door.
5) For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are pre-
ferred. Remember to char the wood completely on "H"
(high) setting before adjusting air control for overnight
burn.
WARNING: Alwayskeeploadingdoorclosedwhenburn-
ing. This heater is not designed for open door burning.
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" (high) and in just a few minutes,
logs should begin burning.
3) Afterwoodhascharred,resetaircontroltodesiredsetting.
4) When burning at a slow rate for extended periods, occa-
sionally maintain a strong fire under supervision for a
coupleof hours torelieve fireboxand chimney depositsas
well as any of the deposits on the glass.
WARNING: This method is not a substitute for regular
chimney inspections and cleaning.

10
Disposal of Ashes
Ashesshould beplaced in ametal containerwith atight fitting
lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustiblematerials, pending finaldisposal. If the ashesare
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
theyshouldbe retainedin theclosedcontainer untilallcinders
have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in
this container!
Creosote
Formation and Need for Removal
Whenwoodisburnedslowly,itproducestarandotherorganic
vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creo-
sote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this
creosotemakes an extremelyhot fire. Thechimney connector
and chimney should be inspected at least once every two
months during the heating season to determine if a creosote
buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
1. Highest smoke densities occur when a large amount of
wood is added to a bed of hot coals and the air inlet is
closed. The heated wood generates smoke, but without
ample air, the smoke cannot burn. Smoke-free, clean
burning requires small fuel loads, two or three logs at a
time or 1/4 to 1/2 of a fuel load and leaving the air inlet
relatively wide open, especially during the first 10 to 30
minutes after each loading, when most of the smoke
generatingreactionsareoccurring. After30minutesorso,
the air inlet can be turned down substantially without
excessive smoke generation. Wood coals create very little
creosote-producing smoke.
2. Thecooler the surface over whichwood smokeis passing,
the more creosote will be condensed. Wet or green wood
contributes significantly to creosote formation as the ex-
cess moisture that is boiled off cools the fire, making it
difficult for the tars and gasses to ignite, thus creating
dense smoke and poor combustion. This moisture-laden
smoke cools the chimney, compounding the problem by
offering the smoke the ideal place to condense.
In summary, a certain amount of creosote is inevitable and
must be lived with. Regular inspection and cleaning is the
solution. The use of dry, seasoned wood and ample combus-
tion air will help to minimize the buildup.
5) Toachieve maximumfiring rate,set controlto "H"(high).
Donot usethis settingother thanfor startingor preheating
fresh fuel loads.
DONOTOVERFIRETHISHEATER: Attemptstoachieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications
can result in permanent damage to the heater and chim-
ney.
WARNING: Noalterationormodificationofthecombus-
tionaircontrolassemblyispermitted. Anytamperingwill
void warranty and could be very hazardous.
More Wood, More Heat
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU’s per pound. If
youput10poundsofwoodinyourstoveforaneighthourburn
thewood will beproducing 9375BTU’sper hour. (7500BTU
x10lbs/8hrs.=9375BTU’sperhr.). Ifyouput20lbsofwood
inyourstove foraneight hourburnyou willget 18,750 BTU’s

This is only an example and is based on 100% efficiency. In
reality,yourstoveshouldperforminthe70%efficiencyrange.
Experiencewill give youthe right settingsfor proper combus-
tion and efficient burning. Remember the air inlet setting is
affected by variables such as type of wood, outside tempera-
ture, chimney size and weather conditions. With practice, you
willbecomeproficientinoperatingyourheaterandwillobtain
the performance for which it was designed.
Proper Draft
1) Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
throughthechimney. Theamountofdraftinyourchimney
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) Inadequatedraftmay causebackpuffinginto the roomand
plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates
inadequate draft.
Ash Removal
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox, and
when fire has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes.
Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox
bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

11
Blower
The Pacific Insert comes equipped with a variable speed
circulating air blower. The blower system is thermostatically
controlled for automatic operation, as well manually with a
convenient bypass switch.
Blower Operation
Automatic: To operate the blower automatically, push the
rocker switch to the “OFF” position and set the fan speed
control to a desired setting.
This will allow the blower to turn on automatically once the
Insert has come up to operating temperature. It will also shut
the blower off after the fire has gone out and the appliance
cooled to below a useful heat output range.
Manual: To manually operate the blower, push the rocker
switch to the “ON” position and set the fan speed control to a
desired setting. This will bypass the temperature switch and
allow full control of the blower.
Suggested settings:
- Combustion air control setting of "L" (low), operate
blower speed control on “Low”.
- Combustion air control greater that "L" (low), operate
blower speed control at desired setting.
Electrical Supply

Chimney Fires
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney fire.
Chimney fires are dangerous. Chimney inside temperatures
can exceed 2000 degrees F. This causes much higher than
normal temperatures in the chimney and on its exterior sur-
facesthus ignitionof nearbyor touchingcombustible material
is more likely during a chimney fire. Proper clearances are
critical during such a fire.
Chimney fires are easy to detect; they usually involve one or
more of the following:
-Flames andsparks shooting outof thetop ofthe chimney
- A roaring sound
- Vibration of the chimney
In Case of a Chimney Fire
1. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety. Have a
well understood plan of action for evacuation. Have a
place outside where everyone is to meet.
2. Close air inlets on stove.
3. Calllocalfiredepartment. Haveafireextinguisherhandy.

4. Afterthe chimney fire is out,the chimneymust becleaned
andcheckedforstressandcrackingbeforestartinganother
fire. Also check combustibles around chimney and the
roof.
Avoiding a Chimney Fire
There are two ways to avoid chimney fires:
1. Donotletcreosotebuilduptoapointwhere a bigchimney
fire is possible.
2. Do not have fires in the heater that may ignite chimney
fires. Theseare hot fires,such aswhenburning household
trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary
fuel wood; (eg. with a full load on a hot bed of coals and
with the air inlet wide open).

Maintenance
1. Burn wood only, dry and well seasoned. The denser or
heavierthewoodwhendry,thegreateritsheatvalue. 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
withtheairinletsetopenenoughtomaintainagoodstrong
fireand fairlyhigh chimneytemperatures. Do not attempt
toburnovernight usinggreenor wetwood. Wetwood can
cause up to 25% drop in heater output, as well as contrib-
uting significantly to creosote buildup.
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a fire. Do not burn garbage, or flammable
fluids 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
andcreate afire hazard. Maintaina 1"minimum ashbase.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor
wood, it can readily be cleaned with any fireplace 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 flue pipe and
chimneybuildup.Alightbrowndustydepositthatiseasily
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
thatisdifficult toremove isaresult ofwetand greenwood
andtoo slowa burning rate.This heavydeposit isbuilding
up at least as quickly in the chimney.
WARNING: Onlyusematerialssuppliedbythemanufac-
turer when doing maintenance or replacements.
4. DOOR GASKET - The gasket used by Pacific Energy
requires only light pressure to seal. This will prolong seal
life.Itisimportantthatthedoorsealbemaintainedingood
condition. Periodically inspect seals and replace if neces-
sary. FollowinstructionsincludedintheDRDA.20802kit
obtainable from your nearest Pacific 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. Re-
placement glass can be obtained from your Dealer. The
size required is 9-1/8 x 15-5/8 x 5 mm Robax. Ceramic
glass must be used. Do not substitute with any other type.
To remove broken glass, undo the four retaining screws and
removetheframenotingpositionforre-assembly. Removeall
particlesofglass. Becarefulastheyareverysharp.Installnew
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 firebox
must be kept clear of excessive ash buildup which will
block air flow. This area is at the front of the firebox.
7. Donotstore woodwithinheaterinstallation clearances,or
withinthespacerequiredforfuelloadingandashremoval.
Keep the area around the heater clean and free of all loose
combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.
8. If gold 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 firing
technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until experi-
ence shows how often you need to be cleaning to be safe.
10. Be aware that the hotter the fire, 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 fires and the importance of following
the steps outlined in “In Case of Chimney Fire”.

Understanding & Operating Your Pacific Energy Stove
The Pacific Energy SUPER SERIES line of
woodstovesisaculminationofyearsofresearchand
development. Designed to be efficient, clean-burn-
inganduser-friendly,this heaterwillgiveyouyears
ofwarmservice.However,a knowledgeableopera-
tor is still the most important factor for maximum
performance and part of this is understanding the
basic functions of this design.
Traditional wood stoves had a basic combustion
system which allowed a considerable amount of
heatenergytoescape
up the chimney as
unburned gases and
particulates(smoke).
Pacific Energy has
designed a system
that solves the prob-
lem by burning the
smoke and releasing
theadditionalheatto
the room.
This system has two
critical design fea-
tures:
1. Above fire sec-
ondaryairinjection:
The hollow "air baf-
fle" injects super-
heatedsecondaryair
just above the load.
With the stove at the
proper operating temperature, this will create a
secondary flame that will be evident for approxi-
mately 1/3 of the total burn time.
2. High mass and thermal insulation:
Thehighmass(weight)actsasaheatstorageandthe
thermal insulation keeps the combustion zone hot.
Activeflamingtakesplaceduringthefirstpartofthe
burn. During this storage, heat is stored in the mass
of the unit and is later released slowly and evenly.
As wood chars, active flaming will diminish. This
clean charcoal burning stage will last for a consid-
erablelengthoftimeandrefuellingshouldbeavoided
until the charcoal base has become quite small.
OPERATING TIPS
1. Always use dry, seasoned firewood, up to 18"
long. Load wood
endwise, a mixture
of large and small
pieces, on top of a
good ash base (1"
minimum).
2. Operate on a me-
diumtohighsetting,
forupto1hourfrom
cold start. After the
initial warm up pe-
riod, refuel and
leavetheaircontrol
onamediumsetting
for 5 to 10 minutes
more and then set
theaircontroltothe
desired position.
3. If a slow burn is
desired, set the air
control to low. Ac-
tive secondary
burningshould bepresent abovethe woodload. Ifit
is not present or goes out shortly after, proper
operating temperature has not been reached and the
stove needs additional warm up time.
For additional operating, safety and maintenance
information refer to the installation manual.

Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Cure
Excessive Creosote 1) Wood is too wet - Use dry wood
Buildup 2) Turning down air control - Do not turn down until:
too soon a) there is a good bed of coals
b) the wood is charred
3) Draft too low - Improper chimney height and/or diameter
- Chimney plugged or restricted, check flue
- Provide outside air for combustion
Glass is Dirty 1) See 1, 2, and 3 above
2) Door Gasket leakage - Replace gasket
- Check latch
Low Heat Output 1) Wood is wet - Use dry wood
2) Fire too small - Build a larger fire
Won't Burn Overnight 1) Air control set too high - Set control lower
2) Not enough wood - Unsplit wood is preferred for overnight burns
Stove Won't Burn 1) Combustion air supply - Check outside air supply for obstructions
is blocked (see Combustion Air section)
2) Draft too low - Chimney plugged or restricted
Inspect and clean
- Chimney oversized or otherwise unsuitable
