Safety
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 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. 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. 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
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
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney re.
Chimney res are dangerous. Temperatures inside the
chimney can exceed 2000° F. This causes much higher
than normal temperatures on its exterior surfaces. Thus
ignition of nearby or touching combustible 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
Avoiding a Chimney Fire
There are two ways to avoid chimney res:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney
re is possible.
2. Do not have res in the replace that may ignite
chimney res. These are very hot res, such as when
burning household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree
limbs, or even excessive fuels loads of ordinary fuel
wood.
In the event 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. Open the door of the replace slowly and throw
approximately 8oz. of water onto the hot coals of the
re then close the door.(NOTE: This may damage the
Aluker panels.)
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
re.
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, (certied
by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT)
- in Canada, Hearth Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in
U.S.A.,) are strongly recommended.
CAUTION: DOOR HANDLE CAN GET HOT.
USE THE TOOL PROVIDED AND CAUTION
WHEN OPENING DOOR TO RELOAD.
5. Maintain a distance of 60"(1.5m) to all combustible
materials in the room. (see Floor Protector section on
page 20 for Floor Protection dimensions)

AWAY. CONTACT WILL CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE APPLIANCE WILL
SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT. FAILURE
TO RECTIFY AN OVER FIRING CONDITION CAN BE
HAZARDOUS AND MAY VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S
WARRANTY.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter uid or similar liquids to start or
"freshen up" a re in this replace. Keep all such liquids
well away from the replace while it is in use.

-Any substance that emits dense smoke or an
obnoxious odor
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly
destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
Your TOWN & COUNTRY replace 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.
Wood Selection
This replace is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not
burn processed logs. 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 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
replace.
How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the replace 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/Insulation
To achieve the best nish, the paint on your replace
must be baked on. Burn only half the normal wood load
when burning your replace 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. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the
replace and crisscross with several pieces of dry
kindling. Add a few small pieces of dry wood on top.
2. Ignite the paper and close the door. (Depending
on length of chimney installation, you may need to
leave door open approximately 1/2"(12mm) until
kindling is fully ignited.)DO NOT LEAVE FIREPLACE
UNATTENDED WHILE DOOR IS OPEN.
3. After the re has established itself, open the door and
add a few small logs. Close door.
4. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists
and wood has charred.
Normal Operation
1. When refuelling, open the door slowly, this will prevent
back puffing.
2. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to
40"(1m)). Try to place the logs so that the air can ow
between them. Always use dry wood.
3. Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that
would be hazardous when opening the door.
WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP LOADING DOOR
CLOSED WHEN BURNING.
THIS FIREPLACE IS NOT DESIGNED
FOR OPEN DOOR BURNING. IF UNIT IS
OPERATED WITH THE DOOR OPEN, SMOKE
AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE
FIREPLACE OPENING.
THIS MAY CAUSE HEALTH OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
CAUTION: YOUR T120 IS A DECORATIVE LINEAR
WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE.
THIS FIREPLACE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE A HIGH
EFFICIENCY WOOD HEATER AND SHOULD NOT BE
USED AS A CONTINUAL HEAT SOURCE. DUE TO
THE HIGH HEAT OUTPUT THAT THIS FIRPELACE
CAN GENERATE, CONTINOUS HI HEAT, LONG TERM
BURNING MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE OF SURROUNDING
DECORATIVE FACING MATERIALS.
DO NOT OVER LOAD THIS UNIT. FOLLOW
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING "CONTROLLING YOUR
FIRE". ONCE THE FIREBOX LINING MATERIAL

T120.BODYA 040215-32 5
WARNING: No alteration or modication of the
combustion air assembly is permitted. Any tampering
will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Only use the Town & Country grate (Part
#T120.7985). Do not use any other grates or andirons
to elevate the fuel. Failure to do so may create a
hazardous condition.
WARNING: Never extinguish the re with water as this
could damage the Aluker panels.
Controlling Your Fire
The T120 replace is designed to provide warm radiant
heat. Even though it does not come with an air control, you
will nd that you can control the heat output of the re by
varying the size and placement of the logs.
RECOMMENDATIONS: For a cooler re, load 2 to 3 small
logs (3"(76mm) diameter, approx. 20"(508mm) length) lying
down directly on the grate. Do not place wood more than
half way up the rebox back panels.
For a warmer re, load 2 to 3 medium logs (5"(127mm)
diameter, 20"(508mm) length) or 1 to 2 large logs
(6"(150mm) diameter, approx. 20"(508mm) length) lying
down directly on the grate. Do not place wood more than
half way up the rebox back panels.
Spreading out the log placement will even out the heat and
prolong the burn duration.
Although the rebox is large, you will nd that it is
unnecessary to load a lot of wood to get a lot of heat.
Be careful not to overload your replace. Do not place
wood more than half way up the rebox back panels or
you will risk overring your replace, the wall facing and
overheating the room in which the replace is located.
Allow the logs to burn down to coals before loading more
wood.
Over Firing
DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS FIREPLACE: ATTEMPTS
TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED
FIREPLACE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT
IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE FIREPLACE
AND CHIMNEY AND MAY VOID MANUFACTURERS
WARRANTY.
Over ring can be caused by operating the unit with the
door open, damage to door gaskets allowing excess air to
enter the rebox, the use of kiln dried lumber, mill ends or
paper waste or overloading the rebox with wood.
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
replace part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room
and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the
room through appliance and chimney connector joints
indicates inadequate draft.
Ash Removal
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the replace
is cold. Whenever ashes get approimately 2 inches deep in
your rebox, and when re has burned down and cooled,
remove the ashes.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
outside 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
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other
waste should not be placed in this container.

WARNING: OVER FIRING THE APPLIANCE WILL
SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT. FAILURE
TO RECTIFY AN OVER FIRING CONDITION CAN BE
HAZARDOUS AND MAY VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S
WARRANTY.
To remove broken glass,remove the screws that hold the
retainers and remove the retainers, noting position for
re-assembly. Remove all particles of glass . Be careful as
they are very sharp. Install new glass. Check glass gasket
for damage and replace if necessary. Replace retainers
and screws.
CAUTION:
- DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, TIGHTEN SCREWS HAND
TIGHT
- DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT
- DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON GLASS
8. Do not store wood within replace installation
clearances, or within the space required for fuel loading
and ash removal. Keep the area around the replace
clean and free of loose combustibles, furniture,
newspapers, etc.
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 replace. 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".
11. Inspect and clean your chimney system at the
beginning of the burning season before your rst re
and at least every two months during the burning
season. Inspect the interior and exterior of the pipe
for defects and/or damage. Remove and inspect the
rain cap. Refer to the chimney system manufacturer's
installation instructions for the procedure to remove and
or replace any necessary components to the chimney
system.
Glass Cleaning
The glass may be dirty during startup and will clean
off after the unit heats up. If glass becomes darkened
through slow burning or poor wood, it can readily be
cleaned with replace glass cleaner when the replace 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 building up as quickly in the
chimney.
Maintenance
1. Burn only, dry and well seasoned cord 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 should not be used,
it will reduce heat output, as well as, contribute
signicantly to creosote buildup.
WARNING: NEVER USE CHEMICALS OR ANY OTHER
VOLATILE LIQUID TO START A FIRE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS 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.
3. 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 bottom-front of the
rebox.
4. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and
ring technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until
experience shows how often you need to clean to be
safe.
WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS AND
COMPONENTS SUPPLIED OR SPECIFIED BY
MANUFACTURER WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE OR
REPLACEMENTS. DO NOT USE A FIREPLACE INSERT
OR OTHER PRODUCTS NOT SPECIFIED FOR USE
WITH THIS FIREPLACE.
6. 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 with part# T120.DGKIT
obtained from your dealer.
7. DOOR GLASS - Replacement glass can be obtained
from your dealer. Use 18"(457mm) x 45 1/2"(1.16m) x 5
mm ceramic glass only(PART #5034.MC120).
WARNING: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE GLASS WITH ANY
OTHER TYPE OTHER THAN CERAMIC GLASS.
WARNING: 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 FIREPLACE.

Crate Removal
1) Carefully remove wood top and supports.
2) Remove the screws securing the replace to the
pallet(4).
3) Remove from pallet bottom.
Warning: Under no circumstances is this replace to be
installed in a makeshift or "temporary" manner. It may
be red only after the following installation conditions
have been met.
- DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
- DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
- 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.
Locating The T120 Fireplace
The best location to install your replace is determined by
considering the location of windows, doors, and the traffic
ow in the room where the T120 Fireplace is located,
allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth extension
and taking into consideration the location of the chimney.
Ideally, you should choose a location where the chimney
will pass through the house without cutting oor or roof
joists.
The T120 replace may be installed directly on the oor
or on a raised base. A minimum of 84" measured from the
base of the appliance to the ceiling in front of the unit is
required and 88" to the top of the chase enclosure above
the unit.
Check the strength of the oor by rst estimating the
weight of the replace system(approx. 1000lbs). Next
measure the area the replace will occupy. Note the
oor construction and consult your local building code to
determine if any additional support is needed.
The T120 replace may not be installed in a factory built
replace unless tested with the replace.
Wind direction and magnitude can play a factor in the
chimney performance. Therefore the chimney outlet
position is important when locating the replace Fig.# 2.
Framing Kit
The T120 comes with a lower framing kit pre-assembled
and attached to the unit. Remove the framing kit when
moving the unit from the pallet to the installation location.
Re-attach the framing kit after the unit is placed in its nal
installed position.
Clearances
This replace must be installed with a compatible chimney
system conforming to CAN/ULC-S629 or UL 103HT
standards for 650C factory built chimneys.
Clearances to combustible surfaces and materials are
shown on pages 13 &14.

Listed Chimney and Chimney Connector
THE FIREPLACE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A
FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEY CONFORMING TO CAN/
ULC-S629 AND UL 103HT STANDARDS FOR 650C
FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEYS.
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE CHIMNEY
MANUFACTURER'S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLATION OF ALL CHIMNEY COMPONENTS.
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS
SPECIFIED IN THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER'S
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
USE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTS, CAPS, FLASHING
AND SHIELDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHIMNEY
MANUFACTURER'S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERAL
GUIDELINES ONLY.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
NOTE: The T120 uses an 8"(203mm) diameter chimney
system and can be installed with a minimum 15ft(4.5m) of
chimney with or without offsets.
NOTE: Longer chimney lengths and different pitch
ashings may be used. All other parts listed can be
installed (see Figure 14, Page 17). Install all components
to the chimney manufacturer's installation requirements.
Consult your chimney supplier for installation advice.
1. After locating the desired location and framing in the
replace, cut and frame square holes in all oors,
ceilings, and roof that the chimney will pass through.
Use a plumb bob to line up the holes. The chimney
support is mounted to the framing.
2. Install the pipe manufacturer's, Fireplace anchor plate
by inserting it into the ue collar. Secure with stainless
steel screws. We recommend sealing the joint with
replace cement. If using an ICC Anchor plate, you will
need to use a piece of wood across the opening and
tap it down until it sits ush with the unit.
3. Assemble chimney sections so the nished length is
resting on the manufacturer's adapter and protruding
through the roof. Avoid having joints between ceiling
and roof. It is required to secure connections with three
(3) ½" (12 mm) metal screws.
4. Maintain a minimum 2" clearance between the chimney
and any combustible materials as per chimney
manufacturer's specications. Do not ll the space with
insulation or any other combustible material.
5. Install chimney supports as required. The T120 is rated
to handle up to 180lbs(82kgs) of unsupported chimney.
6. Install radiation shields, restops and all pieces
necessary to prevent contact with combustible
materials whenever passing through oors, ceilings or
attic spaces.
7. Install the roof support then assemble ashing and
storm collar and be sure to maintain the vapour barrier
at this point. (Seal securely.)
8. Attach rain cap and check ashing for leaks.
9. If the chimney extends more than 5' above the point of
contact with the roof, then it must be secured using roof
braces.
Chase Enclosure.
If the chimney runs up the outside of the residence, we
recommend it be enclosed in a chase structure.
The chase should be constructed in such a way that it is an
extension of the home. It should be well insulated between
the footings and the oor of the home to prevent heat loss.
We also recommend insulating the ceiling of the chase
just as if it were in the attic space. This will prevent cold air
from dropping down through the chase and into the room
where the replace is installed. Some local codes require
that the walls be insulated, vapor sealed and sheathed
with a re rated gypsum board. We strongly recommend
this procedure for all installations to prevent cold drafts
from originating in the replace enclosure. If you follow this
procedure, we recommend that you do not insulate the wall
above the front of the replace.
The wall above the front of the replace must be
constructed with non-combustible steel stud framing and
non-combustible facing or cement board up to the ceiling
on both sides if sheathing the chase.
NOTE: Check local codes concerning installation
requirements and restrictions in your area.
NOTE: FOR ALL CHIMNEYS, YOU MUST USE THE
MANUFACTURER'S ADAPTER.
NOTE: Combustible materials cannot be used in the space
directly above the replace. Do not ll the space above the
replace with any material. (except the wood framing on
the sides and back of the enclosure)
The replace must not be in contact with any insulation
or loose lling material. Cover the insulation with drywall
panels around the replace.

ELBOWS
The chimney for the T120 can be installed with a maximum
of four 45° elbows(in Canada) or four 30° elbows(in
U.S.A.) as shown in Fig. #9.
Installation:
1. Install the rst elbow; turn it in the required direction. It
is required to secure connections with three (3) #8 x ½"
(12 mm) metal screws.
2. Install the necessary chimney lengths to achieve the
required offset. Lock the chimney lengths together
according to the chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
It is required to use three (3) #8 x ½" (12 mm) metal
screws at every connection of the chimney. If the offset
length is made of two (2) chimney lengths or more,
many chimney manufacturer's may require that you
use an offset or roof support halfway up the offset.
If penetrating a wall, install a wall radiation shield
supplied by the chimney manufacturer and according to
the manufacturer's installation instructions.
3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertically,
Secure the elbow.
4. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the hole. Cut a
hole for the chimney in the ceiling/oor. Frame the hole
as described on page 15.
5. Install a restop supplied by the chimney manufacturer.
6. A support must be used on the rst 15' section(4.6m)
when installing offsets. Follow the chimney
manufacturer's guidelines.

Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the replace
in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning
Appliances and Equipment before proceeding.
1. Outside air supply - Outside air may be brought in
and connected to the six inch adapater underneath the
unit. (Fig. #10).
Cut or drill a 6"(150mm) diameter hole in the closest
exterior wall or in the oor anywhere inside the chase.
Cover the hole with a 6" x 6" (150 mm x 150 mm),
20GA wire mesh minimum, rodent screen and
staple/nail in place. Provide water protection as
required. Attach 6"(150mm) venting (not supplied)
between inlet and the adapter on the unit.
WARNING: This hole must get its air from the outdoors
and be nished with an approved vent cap. 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. Check local building
codes for instruction on sealing the vent cap at the
penetration point of the building. The combustion air
inlet ducts cannot terminate in an attic space or garage.
2. Room air supply - Provide a 6"(150mm) diameter
hole or opening of equal area into the chase area from
the room the unit is to be installed in or another room
if so desired. Connect this opening to the unit using
6"(150mm) metal ex venting(not included). You must
ensure the room has adequate air to operate the unit.
CAUTION: This unit can consume large quantities of air for
operation.
WARNING: 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 replace to draw excess air from the
living space and possibly cause suffocation.
CAUTION: The living space around the replace 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.
A typical outside air connection is shown in Fig. #11.
