    9.8. FLUE AND BAROMETRIC DRAFT CONTROL CONNECTION The flue outlet on the Mini-Caddy furnace is 6" in diameter and the wood only or wood/electric models may be installed with a 6" chimney approved for use with wood burning heating appliances (2100°F). If the draft exceeds -0.06 IN.W.C., a barometric damper must be installed.

  • Page 24: Electrical Connections

    Direct connection: solid fuel units can be connected directly to a source of new combustion air only if they are certified for this kind of installation, which must respect the manufacturer’s instructions. The Mini-Caddy can be installed with an optional sealed fresh air kit that has been tested with the unit. Consult your dealer.

    9.13. PARALLEL INSTALLATION The installation of the Mini-Caddy with another furnace using the same ductwork is not allowed in Canada. This type of installation is only allowed in the United States. Ideally, the maximum BTU input of the existing oil, gas, or electric furnace should be equal or higher than the maximum BTU input of the wood furnace.
  • Page 26 CANADA; The installation in parallel i.e. the Mini-Caddy furnace combined with another, using the same system of hot air ducts is not allowed in Canada. UNITED STATES; The installation in parallel i.e. the Mini-Caddy furnace combined with another, using the same hot air duct system is allowed the United States.
  • Page 27 Mini-Caddy link board. This way, when a heating signal is sent to the existing furnace, the Mini-Caddy receives the same signal. It will tell the Mini-Caddy to either not start or, to go into a shut down cycle, if the furnace was already heating when the demand for heat was sent.

  • Page 28: Electrical Element Installation (Optional)

    9.14. ELECTRICAL ELEMENT INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL) 9.14.1. INTRODUCTION Only one 11.25kW electrical elements is available for the Mini-Caddy.

WARNING: USE WIRING SUITABLE FOR 75 °C (NOT INCLUDED).

  • Page 29: Thermostat Installation

    10. THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION 10.1. WOOD FURNACE ONLY The furnace must be connected to a thermostat. You can use the one provided with the unit or use one that is already installed in your home. The thermostat must be installed on an inside wall and located where it is not likely to be affected by the draft coming from an air outlet.

  • Page 30: Installation Of An Air Conditioning Unit

    10.3. HEATPUMP INSTALLATION It is possible to pair a heat pump to the Mini-Caddy. To determine the priority of operation of these two modes of heating, you must go to Section 11.4.3 - AUXILIARY HEAT SOURCE PRIORITIZATION. For connection of the heat pump to your furnace, see the wiring diagram.

  • Page 31: System Configuration

    The furnace uses a touch screen, the latest technology in control devices. Blowers and power supplies are controlled from this screen. It is important to note that your furnace is equipped with three main electronic components: the link board, the power board and the touch screen.

  • Page 33: Transition To An Auxiliary Heat Source

    11.4.1. TRANSITION TO AN AUXILIARY HEAT SOURCE When there is a demand for heat, the furnace checks the temperature in the plenum. If the temperature is beyond the KIP, the fan will turn on. If the temperature is below the KIP, the furnace will wait the "Rise Time" delay and check the temperature again in the plenum.

  • Page 34: External Temperature Probe

    11.4.4. EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE PROBE It is possible to connect an external temperature probe on the Mini-Caddy. This temperature probe is used primarily to reduce electricity consumption and reduce the bill by prioritizing the transition to an auxiliary heating source when it is too cold outside or when it is the overcharging billing period (peak usage) depending on the electricity supplier.

  • Page 35: System Balancing

    11.6. SYSTEM BALANCING It is important to call upon a professional installer for the installation of the furnace and the ducting system configuration. Certain check-ups must be performed and certain rules must be respected in order not to damage the blower.

    11.8. WOOD HEATING 11.8.1. LIGHTING 1. Open the door Note: If there is already a bed of coals in the firebox, go to pre-heating. 2. Place one or two dry kindlings at the front of the furnace. 3. Place newspaper strips on top of the kindlings. 4.

  • Page 37: Wood As Heating Fuel

    In case of prolonged power failure (over 10 minutes), to reduce the risk of overheating, it is recommended to heat moderately and to open the furnace filter compartment in order to facilitate air circulation by natural gravity around the firebox of the Mini-Caddy wood furnace. 11.8.7. CHIMNEY FIRES This might occur when the fire gets extremely hot.

  • Page 38: Maintenance

    12. MAINTENANCE 12.1. MAINTENANCE OF THE EXCHANGERS Heat exchangers must be cleaned thoroughly at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air is damper and with minimal air circulation within the furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the exchangers to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel.

  • Page 39: Flue Pipe Inspection

    12.3. FLUE PIPE INSPECTION  The flue pipe must be inspected regularly during the heating season.  The pipe must be dissembled and cleaned.  The pipe must be examined carefully to detect any defect or damage.  The pipe can be reassembled if no defect is detected and defective pipe must be replaced immediately. ...
