Safety
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND
USING THIS APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW IN-
STRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
We strongly recommend that smoke detectors be installed.
If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may
notice that they are operating more frequently. This may be
due to curing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally
leaving the fire door open. Do not disconnect the detectors.
If necessary, relocate them to reduce their sensitivity.
SAFETY NOTICE: If this stove is not properly installed, a
house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installa-
tion directions. Consult local building or fire officials about
restrictions and installation inspection requirements in
your area.
The services of competent installer, certified by the Wood
Energy Technical program (WETT) - in Canada, Hearth
Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in U.S.A. (or equivalent)
are strongly recommended.

Installation
Your Insert is designed to be installed into a masonry
or factory built zero-clearance fireplace. The masonry
fireplace must be built according to the requirements of
the Standard of Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid
Fuel Burning appliances, N.F.P.A. 211 (Latest Edition) or
applicable National, Provincial, State or local codes. The
installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation
Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
The factory built zero-clearance fireplace and its chimney
must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610 standards.
Warning: Under no circumstances is this heater to be
installed in a makeshift or "temporary" manner.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Fireplace Specications
Your fireplace is required to have the following minimum
sizes:
WIDTH (at front) 34-1/2" (876 mm)
WIDTH (at rear) 26-1/2" (673 mm)
HEIGHT 23-1/8" (587 mm)
DEPTH 18" (778 mm)
Chimney height 15' (minimum).
A metal tag is provided and is to be fastened to the back
wall of the replace, if the replace has been modied
to accommodate the insert.
Into a Masonry Fireplace
Inspect your fireplace for cracks, loose mortar or other
physical defects. If repairs are required, they should be
completed before installing your insert.
The fireplace chimney must be suitable for wood burning
use. Check for creosote build up or other obstructions,
especially if it has not been in use for some time.
The existing fireplace damper is to be locked open or re-
moved completely.
WARNING: Do not remove bricks or mortar from your
existing replace.
Exception: Masonry or steel, including the damper plate,
may be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper
frame if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner, pro-
vided that their removal will not weaken the structure of
the fireplace and chimney, and will not reduce protection
for combustible materials to less than that required by the
National Building Code.
The Insert must be installed in accordance with local and
or national building codes. The two methods of flue con-
nection that are acceptable in most areas are:
Full Flue Liner: where a listed stainless steel rigid or
flexible liner extends from the Insert flue collar to the top
of the chimney.
Direct Flue Connection: where a listed stainless steel
rigid or flexible liner extends from the Insert flue collar to
the first chimney flue liner.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local
codes, when a direct flue connection is used. Consult local
codes.
Pacic Energy highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and providing optimum
performance. 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 exist-
ing 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) Push the Insert into position inside the fireplace and
attach the connector to the stove collar. Use the rear
adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note: For better access, the top of the casing may be re-
moved (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
chimney flue. Plan for a 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) Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar
may be used if desired.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your fireplace
chimney.
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) Push the Insert into position inside the fireplace and
attach 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 re-
moved (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).

Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Your Insert may be installed into a factory built fireplace
(size permitting) with the following requirements:
1) Inspect your fireplace for damage or other physical
defects. The fireplace must be in good working condi-
tion. If in doubt about its condition, seek professional
advice. Check for creosote build up or other obstructions
inside the chimney, especially if it has not been in use
for some time. Before installing, clean your chimney
system thoroughly.
2) A full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner meeting
type HT requirements (2100°F) per 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada) must be used for both safety and per-
formance. The liner must be securely attached to the
Insert flue collar and the chimney top.
3) The surround must be sealed to the fireplace front or the
damper area around the chimney liner must be sealed
to prevent room air entering the chimney cavity of the
fireplace.
4) The air flow within and around the fireplace must not
be altered by the installation of the Insert (i.e. no block-
age of louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports). This
includes the circulating air chambers in a steel fireplace
or metal heat circulator.
5) Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not permitted
with the following exceptions:
a: external trim pieces which do not affect the operation
of the fireplace may be removed and stored on or within
the fireplace for re-assembly if the Insert is removed.
b: the chimney damper may be removed to install the
liner.

Combustion Air
Consult local building codes regarding combustion air sup-
ply. Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the Insert
in one 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 fireplace and anywhere else air may enter. This will
ensure combustion air is drawn from outside the house
and into the 9" x 2" intake at the lower rear of the ap-
pliance.
2) Room air supply: Remove the 4" knock-out plug from
the casing right side prior to installation (Fig. #14). Install
the Insert as described in the "Installation" section. The
Insert will now draw its air from the room through the
front grill.
Fig. # 14
Knock-out Plug
Blower
The 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 “0” or 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.
On and Off times will vary with installation and location of
appliance.
Manual: To manually operate the blower, push the rocker
switch to the “1” or ON position and set the fan speed con-
trol 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
Circulating air blower electrical rating; 115V, 60 Hz, 80
Watts. For your protection against shock hazard, use only
a properly grounded outlet that will accept a three-pronged
plug. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong.
Consult local codes or in the absence of local codes, with
the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code and in
the USA with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
(latest edition).

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 * -Treated wood
-Wet or green wood -Coal/charcoal
-Garbage/Plastic * -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 produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a taste-
less, odourless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to barbecue in this heater.
How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good
large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than
one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black
and lights within 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 rebricks. Replace broken or
missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazard-
ous 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 re.
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. insulation, windows, climate, etc.), the proper set-
ting can only be found by trial and error and should be
noted for future burns.
2) To refuel, adjust air control 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"). Load your wood endwise and try to place the
logs so that air can flow between them. Always use
dry wood.
4) Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that
would 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: Always keep loading door closed when
burning. 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) After wood has charred, reset air control to desired
setting.
4) When burning at a slow rate for extended periods, oc-
casionally maintain a strong fire under supervision for a
couple of hours to relieve firebox and chimney deposits
as well as any of the deposits on the glass.

SUMINSERTA 260407-20 11
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.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
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 the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other
waste should not be placed in this container!
WARNING: This method is not a substitute for regular
chimney inspections and cleaning.
5) To achieve maximum firing rate, set control to "H"
(high). Do not use this setting other than for starting or
preheating fresh fuel loads.
DO NOT OVERFIRETHIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design specica-
tions can result in permanent damage to the heater
and chimney.
WARNING: No alteration or modication of the combus-
tion air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering
will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
More Wood, More Heat
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU’s per pound.
If you put 10 pounds of wood in your stove for an eight
hour burn the wood will be producing 9375 BTU’s per hour.
(7500 BTU x 10 lbs / 8 hrs. = 9375 BTU’s per hr.). If you
put 20 lbs of wood in your stove for an eight hour burn you
will get 18,750 BTU’s per hr. (7500 BTU x 20 lbs / 8 hrs. =
18,750 BTU’s per hr.). This is only an example and is based
on 100% efficiency. In reality, your stove should perform
in the 70% efficiency range.
Experience will give you the right settings for 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 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.

12 SUMINSERTA 260407-20
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
surfaces thus ignition of nearby or touching combustible
material is more likely during a chimney fire. Proper clear-
ances are critical during such a fire.
Chimney fires are easy to detect; they usually involve one
or more of the following:
- Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the
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. Call local fire department. Have a fire extinguisher
handy. Contact your local fire authority for further in-
formation on how to handle a chimney fire. It is most
important that you have a clearly understood plan on
how to handle a chimney fire.
4. After the chimney fire is out, the chimney must be
cleaned and checked for stress and cracking before
starting another fire. Also check combustibles around
chimney and the roof.
- The services of a competent or certified installer, (certified
by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT)
- in Canada, Hearth Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in
U.S.A.,) are strongly recommended.
Avoiding a Chimney Fire
There are two ways to avoid chimney fires:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a big
chimney fire is possible.
2. Do not have fires in the heater that may ignite chim-
ney fires. These are hot fires, such as when burning
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).
Creosote
Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. 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 creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney 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
generating reactions are occurring. After 30 minutes or
so, the air inlet can be turned down substantially without
excessive smoke generation. Wood coals create very
little creosote-producing smoke.
2. The cooler the surface over which wood smoke is
passing, the more creosote will be condensed. Wet or
green wood contributes significantly to creosote forma-
tion as the excess 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
combustion air will help to minimize the buildup.

SUMINSERTA 260407-20 13
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 fire 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 significantly to creosote
buildup.
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a re. Do not burn garbage, or ammable
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 fire 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 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 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 de-
posit is building up at least as quickly in the chimney.
WARNING: Only use materials supplied by the manu-
facturer 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. It is important that the door seal be maintained
in good condition. Periodically inspect seals and re-
place if necessary. Follow instructions included in the
DRSM.20832 kit 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.
Replacement glass can be obtained from your Dealer.
The size required is 9-1/8 x 15-5/8 (Pacific Insert) or 9-7/8
x 17-7/8 (Summit Insert) 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
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 firebox
must be kept clear of excessive ash buildup which will
block air flow. This area is at the front of the firebox.
7. Do not store wood within heater installation clearances,
or within the space required for fuel loading and ash re-
moval. 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 expe-
rience 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 opera-
tion of the heater. Ensure they have enough knowledge
of the entire system if they are expected to operate it.

Understanding & Operating Your Pacic Energy Stove
The Pacific Energy line of wood stoves is a culmina-
tion of years of research and development. Designed
to be efficient, clean-burning and user-friendly, this
heater will give you years of warm service. However,
a knowledgeable operator 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
heat energy to escape up the chimney as unburned
gases and particu-
lates (smoke). Pa-
cific Energy has
designed a system
that solves the prob-
lem by burning the
smoke and releasing
the additional heat to
the room.
This system has
two critical design
features:
1. Above re second-
ary air injection:
The hollow "air baf-
fle" injects super-
heated secondary
air just above the
load. With the stove
at the proper operat-
ing temperature, this
will create a second-
ary flame that will
be evident for approximately 1/3 of the total burn
time.
2.High mass and thermal insulation:
The high mass (weight) acts as a heat storage and
the thermal insulation keeps the combustion zone
hot. Active flaming takes place during the first part
of the 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 dimin-
ish. This clean charcoal burning stage will last for
a considerable length of time and refuelling should
be avoided 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
medium to high
setting, for up to
1 hour from cold
start. After the initial
warm up period,
refuel and leave
the air control on
a medium setting
for 5 to 10 minutes
more and then set
the air control to the
desired position.
3. If a slow burn
is desired, set the
air control to low.
Active secondary
burning should be
present above the wood load. If it is not present or
goes out shortly after, proper operating tempera-
ture has not been reached and the stove needs
additional warm up time.
For additional operating, safety and maintenance
information refer to the installation manual.
