1. CHIMNEY AND DRAFT This furnace must be connected to a chimney approved for wood-burning appliances; the chimney connector for a PSG 2000 must have 6" diameter; 7” for PSG3000 and PSG4000, for all other models, use an 8" diameter chimney connector.
W A R N I N G THE ASH DRAWER GET VERY HOT. DO NOT MANIPULATE WITH BARE HANDS. ODOUR FROM THE PAINT It is normal that a smoke odour emanate from the unit when you first light it. It is recommended to burn it at high rate and ventilate the building until the odour resorbs.
SMOKE DETECTOR We highly recommend the use of a smoke detector. It must be installed at least 15 feet (4,57 m) from the appliance in order to prevent undue triggering of the detector when reloading. ASH DRAWER Your appliance 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 will cause over firing and serious damage to the furnace.
N.B. THE AIR RETURN CONDUITS SHOULD BE AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE COLD AIR PLENUM DIMENSIONS. Hot air plenum minimal height. NOTE: THE HEIGHT OF THE PLENUM MUST BE 24 INCHES FOR THE FURNACES PSG 4000, PSG 4500 AND PSG 5000.
PIPE CONNECTOR AND DAMPER Before proceeding to connection, remove all accessories such as: scraper, shovel and poker from the evacuation pipe of the furnace. A 6” diameter chimney listed for use with wood burning heating appliances is recommended for the PSG2000, 7” for PSG3000-4000 and 8”...
DAMPER The barometric control must be adjusted so that the maximum draft measured at the furnace outlet is limited to -0.06 in. w.c. Please note that a draft higher than -0.06 in. H2O could result in an uncontrollable fire. On the other hand, the minimum draft to be respected is -0.04 in.
PARALLEL INSTALLATION The installation of this furnace 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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The following instructions do not supersede the local code. WOOD ONLY Install the fan limit control on the support provided after securing this support on the left edge of the hot air plenum where two holes are pre-drilled (there are four pre-drilled holes on the edge of the PSG3000, use the two that are located farther back).
HOLES FOR FAN LIMIT CONTROL ELECTRIC ELEMENT The WOOD / ELECTRIC combined model uses two separate thermostats: one thermostat controls the electric heating, the other one controls the wood heating. With this system, the electric heating has priority over the wood heating.
Red button manual reset Thermodisk L-170 OUTSIDE VIEW OF THE ELECTRIC ELEMENT THERMOSTAT The thermostat must be installed on an inside wall in a location where it is not likely to be affected by the draft coming from an air outlet. It must be installed at a minimum of 55 inches above the floor. N.B.
It is preferable for a prolonged operation of the blower that the setting “out of service” be low enough. But a setting “out of service” too low will cause cold air circulation. To modify the settings, move the tabs at the desired position on the temperature scale.
HEATING 1. When loading the furnace, lower the kindled pieces of wood and place them at the center of the combustion chamber before adding new logs. 2. Do not overload. Air must circulate freely in the upper part of the furnace in order to obtain an efficient operation of the appliance.
CARBON MONOXYDE IS A LETHAL GAS (ODOURLESS AND COLOURLESS), WHICH YOU MUST BEWARE OF. CHIMNEY FIRES Chimney fires might occur when the fire gets extremely hot. Burning cardboard, branches or pieces of wood can ignite the creosote residue accumulated in the evacuation flue system. The usual signs are: 1.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOOD/OIL BURNING COMBINED FURNACES PSG/UH 2000-3000-4000 AND 4500 READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING THE FURNACE CERTIFIED BY OMNI TESTING LABORATORIES ACCORDING TO CAN/CSA B366.1- M91, UL391 3e ed. 1995, rev. 1999 & CAN/CSA B212-93 (JUNE 2000)
GENERAL NOTES This instruction manual treats mainly of the oil burning unit of your wood/oil combination furnace. For any additional information concerning the wood burning furnace, please consult your installation and operation instructions manual for wood and wood/electricity furnaces. To obtain the optimal efficiency, follow the advices below regarding the installation and operation of your WOOD/OIL combination furnace.

FIGURE #1 SERVO-MOTOR FAN LIMIT INSTALLATION ON PSG UH-2000-3000 AND 4000 MODELS The wood fan limit control must be installed with the mounting bracket, in the warm air plenum on the left hand side of the appliance; two holes are pre-drilled on the edge to match the holes on the mounting bracket (see fig.
(a 1" diameter hole is pre-punched in order to insert the fan limit’s sensor in the furnace). N.B. On the PSG/UH-4500, the wood fan limit control is the one that is attached to the junction box and relay-transformer.
In order for the blower to run for long enough periods, the "fan off" setting must not be set too high but too low a setting will result in undesirable cold air circulation. To modify the settings, move the tabs to the desired position on the temperature scale of the fan limit control.
