CAUTION:
- do not overtighten, tighten screws very carefully
- do not clean glass when hot
- do not use abrasive cleaners on glass
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 gold door requires cleaning, use mild soap and water
only. Use of abrasive cleaners will void warranty.
8. Establish a routine for the fuel, woodburning and r-
ing technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until
experience shows how often you need to be cleaning
to be safe.
9. 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.
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.
Stress the section on chimney res and the importance
of following the steps outlined "In Case of Chimney
Fire".
Safety and
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 wood or wet wood. Wet wood can cause up to
50% 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 as gasoline, naphtha, 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 25mm minimum
ash base.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or
poor wood, it can readily be cleaned with a 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 the 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, 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 deposit is also building up
at least as quickly in the chimney.
WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS SUPPLIED BY
MANUFACTURER WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE
OR REPLACEMENTS.
4. DOOR GASKETS -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. Obtain a replacement gasket 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. Only ceramic glass, which measures
214mm x 351mm x 5mm must be used. Do not sub-
stitute 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.

Maintenance Checks
Check the following parts for damage such as cracks, excessive corrosion, burned out sections
and excessive warping: (See website for descriptions and more detail)
Weekly:
- Firebrick - Visual, for cracking.
- Door Gasket - sagging, placement, damage.
Monthly
- Brick rail tabs and brick rails.
- Air riser tube in the back of the rebox.
- Back side of airwash chamber.
- Baffle locking pin.
- Boost tube cover.
When Cleaning the
Chimney System:
- Top baffle board/blanket.
- Baffle.
- Top heat shield and mounting bolt.
- Baffle Gasket.
- Brick Rails.
- Manifold.
Blower:
- The blower should be cleaned out a minimum every six months by using a vacumn on the grill
openings in the back and bottom of the blower casing to remove any dust and debris.
- Some warping of the baffle is normal(up to .65cm).
- Replace if the baffle has permanent warping greater than this or has cracking or breakage.
- Please contact your Dealer if you experience any of the damage listed above. Continuing to
operate your stove with broken parts may accelerate damage to other parts and may void your
warranty

220514-20 5
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 accumulates on the ue lining.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot re.
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 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 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 the 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 gases
to ignite, thus creating dense smoke and poor combus-
tion. 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 clean-
ing is the solution. The use of dry, seasoned wood
and ample combustion air will help to minimize the
buildup.
Chimney Fires
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney re.
Chimney res are dangerous. Chimney inside tempera-
tures can exceed 1100°C. This causes much higher than
normal temperatures in the chimney and on its exterior
surfaces. Thus ignition of nearby or touching combusti-
ble material is more likely during a chimney re. Proper
clearances are critical during 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
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 inlet on stove.
3. Call local re department. Have a re extinguisher
handy. Contact your local municipal or provincial 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 cracks before
starting another re. Also check combustibles around
the chimney and the roof.
- The services of a competent or certied installer 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 chim-
ney res. These are hot res, such as when burning
household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs,
or even ordinary fuel wood; (e.g.. with a full load on
a hot bed of coals and with the air inlet excessively
open.)

Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove
in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or
Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment before proceeding.
1. Outside air supply - (Necessary for mobile home
installation, optional for residential installation.) Outside
air may be drawn from either underneath the stove or
from behind.
To draw outside air through the oor, leave the 100mm
knockout or cover plate in place in the rear of the
pedestal or leg kit ash box enclosure.
Pedestal Model: Cut or drill a 100mm diameter
hole in the oor anywhere inside the perimeter of the
pedestal. Cover the hole with a (100 mm x 100 mm)
rodent screen and staple/nail in place.
Leg Model: Cut or drill a 100mm diameter hole di-
rectly below the bottom hole of the ash box enclosure.
Connect enclosure to the oor with a short 100mm
diameter pipe. If you wish to connect the outside air to
the rear hole on the ash box, then remove the 100mm
knockout or cover plate at the rear of the ash box.
This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl
space or be extended with duct to the outdoors (see
Figure #4). 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.
To draw outside air from behind the stove, an outside
air adaptor may be required cut or drill a 100mm hole
through a wall behind the unit. Use an appropriate
household 100mm inlet. You must remove the rear
cover plate from the pedestal or move the cover plate
at the rear of the leg kit ash box enclosure to cover
the bottom hole.
Note: This unit is not designed to be operated with the
ring door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of
sparks landing on combustibles, an open re door will
cause the heater to draw air from the living space and
possibly cause suffocation.
2. Room air supply - Remove the cover plate from the
rear of the pedestal or leg kit ash box enclosure. The
stove will now draw its air from the room through this
opening and into the rebox 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 ue gases. If blockage
occurs, ue gases may enter living space.
* 100mm diameter air inlet with rodent screen
* If the crawl space is well ventilated it is not
necessary to extend air inlet to outside

Operation
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kero-
sene, 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 it is in use.
CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing
and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AERO-
SOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AERO-
SOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS
OPERATING.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER INSTAL-
LATION CLEARANCES.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE AS AN
OPEN FIRE.
WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN
FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER:
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater
design specications can result in permanent damage to
the heater and chimney.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY heater is designed for maximum overall
efficiency 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.
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 to 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 * -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 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 ve minutes it is soaked and
should not be burnt.
Lighting for the First Time
Curing of the Paint Finish
To achieve the best nish, the paint on your stove must be
baked on. When burning your stove for the rst 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 re.
1. Adjust air control to position “H” (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 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 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. The wide range control panel
makes nding the desired setting for your application
easy. As every home’s heating needs vary (ie. insu-
lation, 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” (Start) position, and
give the re 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 and try to place the logs
so that the 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.

220514-20 13
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when
burning. This heater is not designed for open door
burning.
WARNING: No alteration or modication of the com-
bustion air control assembly is permitted. Any tamper-
ing will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate
the fuel. Burn directly on the re bricks. Replace
broken or missing bricks. Failure to do so may create
a hazardous condition.
Restarting After Extended 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. To achieve maximum ring rate, set control to "H"
(high). Do not use this setting other than for starting
or preheating fresh fuel loads.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to
achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design
specications can result in permanent damage to the
heater and chimney.
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 76mm to 100mm deep in your rebox,
and when re has burned down and cooled, remove excess
ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 25mm deep on
the rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Optional ash cleanout system: The ash dump handle
is located under the ash lip on the left hand side. To oper-
ate 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 hole. Avoid large
charcoal pieces 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 rebox oor. Lift and pull out ashpan and
discard ashes into metal container. Replace ashpan and
ensure it is seated properly. Do not burn with ash dump
door open.Doing so will create a hazardous condition.
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 closed con-
tainer until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.Other waste
should not be placed in this container.
Baffle Removal
Chimney connector pipe should be disconnected from
stove to clean and inspect chimney. Only if this is not pos-
sible should you remove the baffle. DO NOT OPERATE
WITH BAFFLE OR INSULATION REMOVED.
Remove retaining pin at the back top of the rebox, just
under the baffle. Remove rail extensions in front of 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

OPERATING TIPS
1.Always use dry, seasoned rewood, up to
457mmlong. Load wood endwise, a mixture of
large and small pieces, on top of a good ash
base (25mm 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 ad-
ditional warm up time.
Understanding & Operating Your Pacic Energy Stove
The Pacic Energy SUPER SERIES 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 of warm service. However, a
knowledgeable operator is still the most impor-
tant 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 un-
burned gases and particulates (smoke). Pacic
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 sec-
ondary air just above the load. With the stove
at the proper operating temperature, this will
create a secondary ame 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 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
refuelling should be avoided until the charcoal
base has become quite small.
