Safety
Please read this entire manual before installation
and use of this wood burning insert.Failure to follow
these instructions could 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 cur-
ing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally leaving the
re 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 re may result. For your safety, follow the installa-
tion directions. Consult local building or re officials about

Installation
Your Insert is designed to be installed into a masonry or factory
built zero-clearance replace. The masonry replace 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 Equip-
ment. The factory built zero-clearance replace 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 SERV-
ICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Fireplace Specications
Your replace is required to have the following minimum sizes:
WIDTH (at front) 28" (876 mm)
WIDTH (at rear) 26" (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 replace for cracks, loose mortar or other physical
defects. If repairs are required, they should be completed before
installing your insert.
The replace 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. Have chimney swept.
The existing replace damper is to be locked open or removed
completely.
WARNING: Do not remove bricks or mortar from your exist-
ing 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, provided that
their removal will not weaken the structure of the replace 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 ue connection
that are acceptable in most areas are:
Full Flue Liner:(Fig.2) where a stainless steel rigid or exible liner
extends from the Insert ue collar to the top of the chimney.
Positive Flue Connection(In U.S.A.only): 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 ue 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.

4) Remove casing top by removing screws on each casing side
and pulling top forward(Fig. #5).
5) Push insert into replace. Use the rear adjustment legs to
level insert. (NOTE: Adjustment legs are located in bottom
rear of insert)
6) Measure, trim and shape a top ashing to t the existing
chimney ue. Plan for a 1” to 1-1/2” overlap on each side.
Place ashing over top of the liner and seat rmly against
the tile.
7) Caulk around liner with high temp stove cement and insert
into collar. Screw in fasteners to secure.
8) Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar may
be used if desired.
9) Reattach casing top with screws previously removed.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your fireplace
chimney.
Direct Flue Connection
1) Measure from the rst chimney ue liner tile to the top of the
Insert. Allow extra length of liner to insert into ue tile.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner through the damper area and
into the rst chimney ue tile. Seal around pipe.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local codes, when
a direct ue connection is used. Consult local codes.

Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Your Insert may be installed into a factory built replace (size
permitting) with the following requirements:
1) Inspect your replace for damage or other physical defects.
The replace must be in good working condition. 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 exible ue liner meeting type
HT requirements (2100°F) per UL1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635
(Canada) must be used for both safety and performance.
The liner must be securely attached to the Insert ue collar
and the chimney top.
3) The surround must be sealed to the replace front or the
damper area around the chimney liner must be sealed to pre-
vent room air entering the chimney cavity of the replace.
4) The air ow within and around the replace must not be
altered by the installation of the Insert (i.e. no blockage of
louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports). This includes the
circulating air chambers in a steel replace or metal heat
circulator.
5) Alteration of the replace in any manner is not permitted with
the following exceptions:
a: external trim pieces which do not affect the operation of
the replace may be removed and stored on or within the
replace 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 supply.
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 replace.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 replace and any-
where 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 appliance.
2) Room air supply: Loosen the two hex head bolts slightly (DO
NOT REMOVE) Remove the two screws in the cover plate
and remove, slide the cover box out and discard. Replace
cover plate and tighten hex head bolts. Fig. #7).

Fan Speed Controller Relocation
The fan speed controller is factory installed under the ash lip on
the right hand side. If required, it can be relocated to the left side
by following the instructions below. To make this as easy as pos-
sible, it is suggested that this be done prior to tting the surround
and installation into the replace:
1) Remove the screw located at the top of the left and right
panels.
2) Lift up on each panel and remove. Set aside to prevent dam-
age.
3) Disconnect the wires from the fans (LHS & RHS) and thermal
snap switch. Take note of where the wires are routed and se-
cured. They must be positioned correctly to avoid damage.
`
4) Loosen the two bolts that secure the ash lip to the rebox,
carefully lift up the ash lip and remove from the rebox and
unscrew the wire support tabs.
5) Removethe two screws securing the speed controls assembly
to the ash lip. The cover plate on the opposite side can also

Operation
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher ef-
ciency 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 re 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
produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless, 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 ve
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 hazardous
condition.
Your Pacic Energy heater is designed for maximum overall ef-
ciency at a moderate ring rate. Overring 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 gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start
or ‘freshen up’a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well
away from the heater while in use.
1) Adjust air control to "H" (high) position (pushed to the far left)
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 re has 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 setting can only be found by trial
and error and should be noted for future burns.
2) To refuel, adjust air control to "H" (high) position (pushed to
the far left) and give the re time to brighten. Open door
slowly, this will prevent backpuffing.
3) Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to
20"). Load your wood endwise and try to place the logs so
that air can ow 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 preferred.
Remember to char the wood completely on "H" (high) setting
before adjusting air control for overnight burn.
WARNING: Always keep the loading door closed when
burning. If the door is left partly open, gas and ames
may be drawn out of the replace stove opening creating
risks from re and/ or smoke. This heater is not designed
for open door burning, unless a manufacturer supplied
screen is used.
DO NOT OVERFIRETHIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat
output rates that exceed heater design specications can
result in permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
WARNING: No alteration or modication of the combustion
air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering will void
warranty and could be very hazardous.
Do not store/place wood or other combustibles within the
required clearances surrounding the unit.
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) position (pushed to the far left)
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, occasion-
ally maintain a strong re under supervision for a couple of
hours to relieve rebox and chimney deposits as well as any
of the deposits on the glass.
WARNING: This method is not a substitute for regular
chimney inspections and cleaning.
5) To achieve maximum ring rate, set control to “H” (high)
position (pushed to the far left). Do not use this setting other
than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.

14 SINS.BODYC 230311-20
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 80.3% efficiency range.
Experience will give you the right settings for proper combustion
and efficient burning. Remember, the air inlet setting is affected
by variables such as type of wood, outside temperature, chimney
size and weather conditions. With practice, you will become pro-
cient 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
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your rebox, and when
re has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave
an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the rebox bottom to
help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight tting
lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-
combustible oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending nal 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!
Blower
The Insert comes equipped with twin variable speed circulating
air blowers. The blower system is thermostatically controlled
for automatic operation, as well as manually with a convenient
bypass switch.
Blower Operation
Automatic: To operate the blowers automatically, push the rocker
switch to the “OFF” position and set the fan speed control to a
desired setting.
This will allow the blowers to turn on automatically once the
Insert has come up to operating temperature. It will also shut
the blowerS off after the re has gone out and the appliance has
cooled to below a useful heat output range.
Manual: To manually operate the blowers, 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 blowers.
Suggested settings:
- Combustion air control setting of “L” (low) position (pushed
to the far right), operate blower speed control on “Low”.
- Combustion air control set at anything above “L” (low),
operate blower speed control at desired setting.
Electrical Supply
Circulating air blower electrical rating; 115V, 60 Hz, 0.7 A. 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. Do not route power cord
under unit. Power cord must be routed to avoid contact with any
hot or sharp surfaces.
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).

Chimney Fires
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney re.
Chimney res 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 re. Proper clearances are critical dur-
ing such a re.
Chimney res are easy to detect; they usually involve one or
more of the following:
- Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chim-
ney
- 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 re department. Have a re extinguisher handy.
Contact your local re authority for further information on
how to handle a chimney re. It is most important that you
have a clearly understood plan on how to handle a chimney
 r e .
4. After the chimney re is out, the chimney must be cleaned and
checked for stress and cracking before starting another re.
Also check combustibles around chimney and the roof.
- The services of a competent or certied installer, (certied
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 res:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a big chimney
re is possible.
2. Do not have res in the heater that may ignite chimney res.
These are hot res, 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
ue of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue accu-
mulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot re. The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least once every two months during the heat-
ing season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If
creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney re.
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 rst 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 signicantly to creosote formation as the excess
moisture that is boiled off cools the re, 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.

16 SINS.BODYC 230311-20
WARNING: Do not overtighten, tighten screws very care-
fully.
- Do not clean glass when hot
- Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass
6. The area where boost combustion air enters the rebox must
be kept clear of excessive ash buildup which will block air ow.
This area is at the front of the 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 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 ring tech-
nique. Check daily for creosote buildup until experience shows
how often you need to be cleaning to be safe.
10. Be aware that the hotter the 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 res and the importance of following the steps
outlined in “In Case of Chimney Fire”.
Baffle Removal
The Insert and pipe should be removed from the replace to
clean and inspect. Only if this is not possible should you remove
baffle assembly.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR INSULA-
TION REMOVED.
Baffle Assembly Removal
Remove retaining pin at the back top of the rebox, 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
rebox.
Inspect gasket between baffle and supply tube. If necessary,
replace with gasket # 3139.5 available from your nearest Pacic
Energy Dealer.
Re-install baffle assembly and insulation by reversing order.
It is recommended to inspect the liner and connector monthly
and to have the liner cleaned annually or more frequently
if required.
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 re 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 signicantly 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 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 any 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 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 rela-
tively 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 the manufacturer
when doing maintenance or replacements.
4. DOOR GASKET - The gasket used by Pacic 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 replace if necessary. Follow
instructions included in the DR31.WDGKIT kit obtainable from
your nearest Paci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 using the stove. Replacement glass can
be obtained from your Dealer. The size required is 9-1/2 x
17-1/2 (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.

Appendix A
Understanding & Operating Your Pacic Energy Stove
The Pacic Energy line of woodstoves is a culmination
of years of research and development. Designed to be
efficient, clean-burning and user-friendly, this heater will
give you years ofwarm 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
particulates (smoke).
Pacific Energy has
designed a system that
solves the problem by
burning the smoke and
releasing the additional
heat to the room.
This system has
two critical design
features:
1. Above re secondary
air injection:
The hollow "air baffle"
injects super-heated
secondaryairjustabove
the load.With the stove
at the proper operating
temperature, this will
create a secondary
amethatwillbeevident
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
aming takes place during the rst part of the burn.During
this stage, heat is stored in the mass of the unit and is
later released slowly and evenly. As wood chars, active
aming will diminish. This clean charcoal burning stage
will last for a considerable length of time and refueling
should be avoided until the charcoal base has become
quite small.
OPERATING TIPS
1. Always use dry, seasoned rewood, 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
temperature has not
been reached and the
stove needs additional
warm up time.
For additional
operating, safety
and maintenance
information, refertothe
installation manual.
