Safety
CreosoteFormationandNeedforRemoval
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creo-
sote. 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 can-
not 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 pass-
ing, 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 chim-
ney can exceed 2000° F/1093˚C. 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
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 approxi-
mately 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.
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 heater 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.
CAUTION: DOOR HANDLE CAN GET HOT. USE
CAUTION WHEN OPENING DOOR TO RELOAD.

Operation
CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN,CLOTHINGAND FURNITUREAWAY.
CONTACT WILL CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE APPLIANCE WILL
SHORTENTHE LIFE OFTHE PRODUCT. FAILURETO REC-
TIFYAN 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 heater. Keep all such liquids well
away from the heater while it is in use.
DO NOT BURN :
-Saltwater Driftwood * -Treated wood
-Wet or green wood -Coal charcoal
-Garbage/Plastic * -Solvents
-Trash -Gasloline
-Rubber -Industrial Solvents
-Flammable Liquids -Naptha
-Household Garbage -Leaves
-Material treated with petroleum products(particleboard,
railraod ties and pressure treated wood)
-Paper Products -Cardboard
-Painted Wood -Processed Logs.
-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 haz-
ardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes to
creosote buildup and lowers combustion efficiency.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only.Do not burn
processed logs.Higher efficiency and lower emissions gener-
ally 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 pro-
duces 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 heater.
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 heater
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"(13mm) until kindling is fully ignited.)
DO NOT LEAVE FiIREPLACE 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"(1.02m)). 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 HEATER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR OPEN
DOOR BURNING. IF UNIT IS OPERATED WITH
THE DOOR OPEN, SMOKE AND FLAME MAY
BE DRAWN OUT OFTHE FIREPLACE OPENING.
THIS MAY CAUSE HEALTH OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
WARNING: No alteration or modication of the combus-
tion air assembly is permitted. Any tampering will void
warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Only use the optional Town & Country
grate(Part #T120.7985).Do not use any other grates or
andirons to elevate the fuel. Burn directly on the Aluker/
Refractory panels. Replace broken or missing Aluker/
Refractory panels. Failure to do so may create a hazard-
ous condition.
WARNING: Never extinguish the re with water as this
could damage the Aluker panels.

T120.BODYA 230414-32 5
Controlling Your Fire
The TCW120 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 theAluker panels or on the grate (if installed).
For a warmer re, load 2 to 3 medium logs (5"(127mm) di-
ameter, 20"(508mm) length) or 1 to 2 large logs (6"(150mm)
diameter, approx. 20"(508mm) length) lying down directly on
the Aluker panels or on the grate (if installed).
Although the rebox is large, you will nd that it is unneces-
sary to load a lot of wood to get a lot of heat. Be careful not to
overload your replace, you will risk overring your replace
and overheating the room in which the replace is located.
Allow the logs to burn down to coals before loading more wood.
DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER: ATTEMPTS TO
ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATESTHAT EXCEED HEATER
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT
DAMAGETOTHE HEATERAND CHIMNEY AND MAYVOID
MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.
Over Firing
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.
More Wood, More Heat
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU's per pound.
If you put 10lbs/4.5Kg of wood in your replace for an eight
hour burn the wood will be producing 9375 BTU's per hour
average. (7500 BTU x 10lbs/4.5Kg./8hrs.=9375 BTU's per
hr.) If you put 20lbs/9.07Kg of wood in your replace for
eight hour burn you will get 18,750 BTU's per hr. (7500 BTU
x 20lbs/9.07Kg./8hr.=18,750 BTU's per hr.). This is only an
example and is based on 100% efficiency. In reality, your
replace should perform above the 80% range.
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 heater is
cold. Whenever ashes get approimately 2"(51mm) 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.

6T120.BODYA 230414-32
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 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.
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".
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.
12. Maintain a distance of 60"(1.5m) to all combustible materi-
als in the room.
(see Floor Protector section on page 19 for Floor Protec-
tion dimensions)
Glass Cleaning
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 experi-
ence 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"(1.2m) 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.
WARNING:OVERFIRINGTHEAPPLIANCEWILLSHORTEN
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 complete with gasket.

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 heater 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 TCW120 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 TCW120 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.
Check the strength of the oor by rst estimating the weight
of the replace system(approx. 1000lbs/453.6Kg). Next
measure the area the replace will occupy. Note the oor
construction and consult your local building code to deter-
mine if any additional support is needed.
The TCW120 replace may be installed directly on the oor
or on a raised base. A minimum of 84"/2.1m measured from
the base of the appliance to the ceiling in front of the unit
is required and 88"/2.2m to the top of the chase enclosure
above the unit.
The TCW120 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 chim-
ney performance. Therefore the chimney outlet position is
important when locating the replace Fig.# 2.
Framing Kit
The TCW120 comes with the 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 heater must be installed with a compatible chimney sys-
tem 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, 15 & 179
Clearances may be reduced with various heat insulating
materials. Consult local, National re codes and authorities
for approval.

THE SPACE HEATER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A FAC-
TORY-BUILT CHIMNEY CONFORMINGTO CAN/ULC-S629
AND UL 103HT STANDARDS FOR 650C FACTORY-BUILT
CHIMNEYS.
YOU MUST FOLLOWTHE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER'S
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF
ALL CHIMNEY COMPONENTS.
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLESAS SPECI-
FIED IN THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER'S INSTALLA-
TION INSTRUCTIONS.
USE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTS, CAPS, FLASHING AND
SHIELDS IN ACCORDANCE WITHTHE CHIMNEY MANU-
FACTURER'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 TCW120 uses an 8"/203mm diameter chimney
system and can be installed with a minimum 15ft/4.6m 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 16). Install all components to the chimney manu-
facturer's installation requirements. Consult your chimney
supplier for installation advice.
1. After locating the desired location and framing in the re-
place, 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 rest-
ing 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"/51mm 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.TheTCW120 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 rec-
ommend 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 rec-
ommend 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 MANU-
FACTURER'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 theTCW120 can be installed with a maximum
of four 45° elbows(in Canada) and four 30° elbows(in
U.S.A.) as shown in Fig. #18.
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 ac-
cording 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 manu-
facturer 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'(4.6m) section
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 Appli-
ances 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. #19).
Cut or drill a 6" 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) to adapter.
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.
You must ensure the room has adequate air to operate
the unit.
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 heater to draw excess air from the living space
and possibly cause suffocation.
CAUTION: 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.
A typical outside air connection is shown in Fig. #20.
