If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may notice that they are operating more frequently.

  • Page 8: Chimney Smoke And Creosote Formation

    Chimney Smoke and Creosote Formation 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 flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.

  • Page 9: Operation

    Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition. Your PACIFIC ENERGY heater is designed for many years of trouble free operation. 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.

  • Page 10: Lighting The Fire

    Lighting the Fire WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fire. 1. Adjust air control to “High” position (all the way to the left) and open door. 2. Place crumpled newspaper in the center of the heater and criss-cross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add a few small pieces of dry wood on top.

  • Page 11: Restarting After Extended Or Overnight Burns

    Restarting After Extended or Overnight 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 “High” position (all the way to the left) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.

  • Page 12: Proper Draft

    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.

  • Page 13: Maintenance

    WARNING: Only use materials supplied by the manufacturer when doing maintenance or replacements. 4. DOOR GASKET - The gasket used by Pacific Energy (7/8” medium density fiberglass rope) requires only light pressure to seal. This will prolong seal life. It is important that the door seal be maintained in good condition.

  • Page 14: Blower Maintenance

    7. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and firing technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until experience shows how often you need to be cleaning to be safe. 8. Be aware that the hotter the fire, 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.

  • Page 15: Blower Replacement

    Blower Replacement 1. Remove the surround front by lifting and pulling away from the unit. Remove the four screws securing the back surround to the brackets and set them aside carefully to avoid damage. 2. Remove the surround mounting bracket by removing the two screws securing the bracket to the side casing of the unit (Figure 5) (may require the unit to be pulled out slightly).

  • Page 16: Power Cord Position

    Power Cord Position The power cord for the NEO 1.6 Insert comes factory set to exit the right side of the unit. If you desire, the cord can be switched to exit to the left of the unit. The cord will lose approximately 12” of length when exit- ing the left side of the unit.
