    SECTION A: WOOD OR WOOD/ELECTRIC COMBINATION FURNACES Take note that this furnace operates like an EPA wood burning stove. This applies to the lighting, the ember bed, and the minimum combustion air intake which was determined based on the use of good seasoned cordwood. The Max Caddy furnace was tested and approved according to the CSA B415.1-10 Standard.
  • Page 6: Odour From The Paint

    WARNING THE ASH DRAWER AND EXCHANGERS ACCESS PANEL GET VERY HOT. DO NOT MANIPULATE WITH BARE HANDS. 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.
  • Page 7: Glass Specifications

    The glass is made of 3/16” (5mm) thick Pyroceram. Do not operate your wood furnace with a broken glass, as this could seriously damage your furnace. You can purchase a replacement glass from your PSG dealer. ASH DRAWER Your furnace is equipped with an ash drawer to collect ashes produced by the combustion of wood. This drawer must not be left open during combustion as this may cause over firing and serious damages to the furnace.

    EARLY SIGNS OF AN OVERFIRED FURNACE: 1. Roaring fire. 2. Chimney connector is glowing red. 3. Extreme heat coming from the furnace. If this occurs, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Shut-off the air inlet opening completely, and wait until the glow has completely subsided. ALWAYS KEEP THE DOOR AND THE ASH DRAWER CLOSED (except for lighting and maintenance).
  • Page 35: Maintenance

    5. MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE OF THE EXCHANGERS The flue pipe and the exchangers should be inspected regularly during the burning season. Easy access is provided (without the use of tools): simply unscrew the wing nut on the exchangers access door. See pictures below. WARNING: THE HEAT EXCHANGERS ARE TO BE CLEANED THOROUGHLY AT THE END OF EACH HEATING SEASON.
  • Page 36: Chimney Maintenance

    CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE The most efficient method to sweep the chimney is using a hard brush. Brush downwards so soot and creosote residues will come off the inner surface and fall at the bottom of the chimney where they can be removed easily. The chimney must be checked regularly and if creosote has accumulated, it must be removed without delay.
