Chimney And Draft; Safety Rules; General Requirements; Odour From The Paint - PSG MAX CADDY PF01102 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

7. CHIMNEY AND DRAFT

This furnace must be connected to a chimney certified for use with wood burning heating appliances. A 7-inch chimney
and connector must be installed for the Max Caddy if it is used as a wood-oil unit, a wood-electrical-oil unit or if an oil
option may be installed in the future. If the furnace is to be used as a wood only unit or a wood-electric, then a 6-inch
chimney is recommended.
The unit is not to be connected to a chimney flue serving another appliance. If the chimney draft exceeds 0.06 IN.W.C.,
a barometric draft control should be installed on the smoke pipe. Never install a manual damper. The barometric
control must be adjusted so that the maximum draft measured at the furnace outlet does not exceed -0.06 IN.W.C.
Please note that a draft exceeding 0.06 IN.W.C. could produce an uncontrollable fire. On the other hand, the
minimum draft required is 0.04 IN.W.C. in the evacuation pipe on the wood side, no matter what type of furnace
(WOOD, WOOD/ELECTRIC OR WOOD/OIL). The adjustment should in no case be modified to increase
combustion.

8. SAFETY RULES

THE INFORMATION GIVEN ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL AFFIXED TO THE APPLIANCE ALWAYS
OVERRIDES THE INFORMATION PUBLISHED, IN ANY OTHER MEDIA (OWNER'S MANUAL, CATALOGUES,
FLYERS, MAGAZINES AND/OR WEB SITES).

8.1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

MAKE SURE THE CHIMNEY OUTLET AND THE PIPES ARE CLEAN AND IN GOOD CONDITION.
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR LIQUIDS TO LIGHT THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN WOOD COATED WITH PAINT, GLUE OR CHEMICAL PRODUCTS.
DO NOT BURN WASTES OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, MOTOR OIL, OR OTHER
UNSUITABLE MATTERS.
DO NOT STORE WOOD IN THE VICINITY OF THE FURNACE.
BETWEEN COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND THE SOURCE OF HEAT.
THE ASH DRAWER AND EXCHANGERS ACCESS PANEL GET VERY HOT. DO NOT MANIPULATE
WITH BARE HANDS.

8.2. ODOUR FROM THE PAINT

It is normal that smoke and odours emanate from the unit when you first light it. It is recommended to burn it at high
rate and ventilate the building until the odours disappear. The smoke is not toxic. This should be done before the
ducts are connected to the furnace to prevent smoke dispersion in the house.

8.3. ASH DISPOSAL

Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The container should be stored outdoor, well away
from combustible materials. This container should not contain any other type of waste. If the ashes are meant to be
buried in soil, wait until all embers have thoroughly cooled before burying.

8.4. CREOSOTE BUILD-UP AND REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which, when combined with moisture, form
creosote. The creosote vapours condensate in a relatively cool chimney flue.
accumulate inside the flue lining and the exchangers.
N.B.: To minimize the frequency of the chimney cleaning, buy your firewood at least one year before using it. Store it
in a dry place in order to obtain the minimum moisture rate and optimize the efficiency. Do not store wood or
combustible materials within the installation minimum clearances or the space required to reload the appliance and
remove ashes.

RESPECT THE REQUIRED CLEARANCES
