Safety and Maintenance
1. Burn only dry, well seasoned wood. 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 wood or wet wood. Wet wood
will reduce heat output, as well as contributing significantly to creosote buildup.
2. Remove ashes frequently and only when the stove is cold. Too much ash could cause embers to
roll out the door when it is opened. This may pose a fire hazard. For proper operation, maintain
a 25mm minimum ash base.
3. If glass becomes darkened from slow burning or poor wood, it can readily be cleaned with
fireplace glass cleaner when stove is cold. Never scrape with an object or use abrasive cleaners
that might scratch the glass. The type and amount of deposit on the glass is a good indication of
the flue pipe and chimney buildup. A light brown dusty deposit that is easily wiped off usually
indicates good combustion and dry, well-seasoned wood, 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 will also create heavy deposit buildup in the
chimney.
4. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used on this stove (8mm medium density fiberglass rope)
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 door gasket 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. Use
ceramic glass only. Do not substitute with any other type.
GLASS SIZE – 413mm x 267mm x 5mm
To remove broken glass, undo the four retaining screws and remove clamps, noting posi-
tion for re-assembly. Remove all particles of glass. Be careful as they are very sharp.
Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace clamps and screws.
6. 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 loose combustibles,
furniture, newspapers, etc.
7. If the heater requires cleaning, use mild soap and water only. Use of abrasive cleaners will
void warranty.
8. Establish a routine for fuelling and firing the heater. Check daily for creosote buildup until
experience shows how often you need to clean the chimney to be safe.
9. Be aware that the hotterthe fire, the lesscreosote 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.
10. 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. Study the section on chimney
fires and the importance of following the steps outlined "In Case of Chimney Fire".
WARNING:
Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a fire. Do not burn garbage, or
flammable fluids such as gasoline,
naptha, or engine oil. We strongly
recommendthatsmokedetectorsbeinstalled.
CAUTION:
• do not overtighten, tighten screws very
carefully
• do not clean glass when hot
• do not use abrasive cleaners on glass
WARNING:
Only use materials supplied by
manufacturer when doing maintenence or
replacements.

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 periodically (at least once every two
months) during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated (3 mm. or more), 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 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 once the wood is fully charred, 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 the wood smoke is passing, the more creosote will be
condensed. Wet or green wood contributes significantly to creosote formation as the excess
moisture that is boiled off cools the fire, making it difficult for the tars and gases 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.
Chimney Fires
Excessive creosote build-up can cause a chimney fire. Creosote comes from tar and organic vapours
released from a slow burning wood fire. Flammable creosote will condense and accumulate in the
lining of a relatively cool chimney. When ignited, this creosote can result in an extremely hot fire.
Avoiding a Chimney Fire
There are two ways to avoid chimney fires:
1. Keep your chimney clear of creosote build-up by cleaning your chimney before each burn
season, and as necessary (accumulations of 3 mm or more) during the
season.
2. Burn clean, well-seasoned wood only (seasoned at least one year). Avoid wet or green wood.
3. Do not burn household trash, cardboard, plastics, construction lumber, treated or beach wood
(salt from beach wood will corrode your fireplace and void your
warranty).
4. Do not leave the air inlet wide-open for extended periods of time.
5. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
6. Prepare a home evacuation plan with a place outside where everyone
is to meet.

Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local build-
ing codes before proceeding.
1. Outside air supply - (Necessary for mobile home installation, optional for residential installa-
tion.) To draw outside air through the floor, cut or drill a 102mm diameter hole directly below
the bottom hole of the ash box enclosure(see page 6 Fig. #1a). Connect enclosure to the floor
with a short 102mm diameter pipe.
This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the outdoors
(see Figure #4, Page 11). The use of outside combustion air for residential installation requires
the unit to be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of the air duct.
Note: When installed in a mobile home, 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.
2. Room air supply -There is a 102mm opening in the ash box enclosure. The stove will draw its
air from the room through this opening and into the firebox intake.
Note: The living space around the heater must be well ventilated with good air circulation. Anything
that may cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be pulled into the living area.
During extremely cold weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts
of the exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking the flue gases. If blockage occurs, flue
gases may enter living space.

CAUTION:
Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start
or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
CAUTION:
Hotwhileinoperation. Keepchildren,clothingandfurnitureaway. Contact maycauseskinburns.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE
THE FIRE.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE AS AN OPEN FIRE.
WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIR-
ING DOOR.
Your ALDERLEA stove is designed for maximum overall efficiency at a moderate firing rate. Overfir-
ing is hazardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes to creosote buildup and lowers
combustion efficiency.
NOTE: Left and Right as referred to in this manual are considered your left and right when
facing the front of the woodstove.
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 fuels (eg. 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 five minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.
Lighting for the First Time
Curing of the Paint Finish
To achieve the best finish, the paint on your stove must be baked on. When burning your stove
for the first 2-3 times it is very important that the room be well ventilated. Open all windows and
doors. Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fire.
1. Adjust air control to maximum firing position (start 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 has established itself, open the door and add a few small logs. Close the door.
5. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and wood has charred.
Normal Operation
1. Set air control to a 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 (based on 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 high, and give the fire time to brighten. Open the door slowly, this
will prevent backpuffing.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to 457mm). Load your wood side to side
and try to place the logs so that the 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 preferred. Remember to char the wood com-
pletely on maximum 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.
WARNING: No alteration or modification of the combustion air control assembly is permitted.
Any tampering will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the fuel. Burn directly on the fire bricks.
Replace broken or missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition.

010515-20 ALT4
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 high (left 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 (left position). Do not use this setting other
than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
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 obstruc-
tions 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 76mm to 102mm inches deep in your firebox, and when fire has burned down
and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately (25 mm) deep on the firebox
bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Ash Chute Operation: Your Alderlea stove is equipped with an ash chute system to ease removal
of ash from the ash lip area. To use this system, first pull out the ash pan approximately 51mm, sweep
the ash into the chute located to the right side of the ash lip, and close the ash pan.
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 13mm 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. Pull out ashpan and discard ashes
into metal container. Replace ashpan and ensure it is seated properly.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER:
Attempts toachieveheat outputratesthat ex-
ceed heater design specifications can result in
permanentdamageto theheaterandchimney.
Do not burn with ash dump door open. Doing
so will create a hazardous
condition. Always leave about 1" of ash when
cleaning.
CAUTION:
Ashes are to be removed only when the heater
is cold.

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 located at the rear top of the firebox, just below the
baffle. Remove rail extensions in front of Baffle. Lift baffle up and pull forward to discon-
nect 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 SSER.1395
available from your Pacific Energy dealer. Re-install baffle assembly in reverse order. The
two side pieces of insulation must be tight against the siderails.
Baffle Removal
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 a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Other waste should not be placed in this container.
