Page 12: Chimney And Draft
CHIMNEY AND DRAFT This furnace must be connected to a chimney certified for use with wood burning heating appliances, a 6-inch diameter chimney is recommended. The unit is not to be connected to a chimney being used by another appliance. If the chimney draft exceeds 0.06 IN.W.C., install the barometric draft control that is supplied with the appliance. -
Page 13: Smoke Detector
. During the first year of operation, check the chimney and flues regularly for dirt/creosote build-up. Once you've been able to assess the rate at which the system is clogging up, you'll be able to set up a regular cleaning schedule. Depending on the level of use and the type of wood used, a mid-season cleaning may be necessary. - Page 14 Exhaust blowers located in a firewood storage room must be installed so as not to create negative pressure in the room where the furnace is located. A fresh air supply may be necessary to prevent solid fuel units from smoke spill back into the home. The guidelines for determining whether a combustion air supply is required are not suitable for all situations.

Page 15: Firewood
10 FIREWOOD What is good firewood? Good firewood is that which has been cut to the correct length for the furnace, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is reduced to 15% to 20%. Tree species The tree species from which the firewood is produced is less important than its moisture content. - Page 16 How to dry firewood Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood burning appliances. Constant burning of green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door. See section 16 FURNACE MAINTENANCE for concerns about creosote.

Page 34: Furnace Operation
14 FURNACE OPERATION 14.1 HOW IT WORKS The Caddy Advanced CR furnace features a self-regulated combustion air supply control system. Using two temperature sensors in the combustion chamber that measure temperature in real time, your furnace will automatically adjust the amount of combustion air required to achieve the cleanest, most efficient combustion. -
Page 35: How To Light And Reload The Furnace
14.3 HOW TO LIGHT AND RELOAD THE FURNACE Always keep a maximum of 4 inches of ash in the combustion chamber. Empty the ash drawer weekly to keep the furnace running smoothly. For clean, efficient combustion always keep some space between the logs and leave at least 4 inches of space in front of the logs. -

Page 38: Lighting Fires
14.5 LIGHTING FIRES Each person who heats with wood develops their own favorite method of building and lighting fires. Whatever method you choose, your goal should be to get a hot fire burning quickly. A fire that starts fast produces less smoke and creates less creosote in the chimney. -
Page 39: Maintaining Wood Fires
15 MAINTAINING WOOD FIRES 15.1 GENERAL ADVICE Wood heating is very different than other forms of heating. Do not expect steady heat output from your furnace. It is normal for its temperature to rise after a new load of wood is ignited and for its temperature to gradually decline as the fire progresses. -
Page 40: Control Of The Air Supply
15.1.2 RELOADING WITH EMBERS Press the reload button, place the new load of wood on and behind the embers,not too close to the glass. Close the door. Lighting each new load of wood accomplishes several things: Removes moisture from the wood surface. ... -

Page 42: Factory-Built Metal Chimneys
16.3 FACTORY-BUILT METAL CHIMNEYS These are often referred to as “high temperature” chimneys because they have specific characteristics to withstand temperatures that can be created by wood- burning appliances. Factory-built chimneys are tested as a system, with all the components required for installation. The instructions provided with the chimney by its manufacturer are the only reliable source of installation guidelines. -
Page 43: Minimum Chimney Height
16.4 MINIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHT The top of the chimney should be tall enough to overcome air turbulence caused when wind blows against the home and its roof. The chimney must extend at least 3 ft. (1 m) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 2 ft. -
Page 44: Supply Of Combustion Air
When it is cold outside, the warmer, lighter air in the home tends to rise. This creates a slight pressure difference in the home. Known as, “stack effect”, this produces a slight negative pressure in the lower part of the home (relative to the outside) and a zone of slightly high pressure in the higher part of the home. -
Page 45: Conventional Home
16.6.1 Conventional Home The safest and most reliable supply of combustion air for a wood-burning appliance is from the room in which it is installed. Room air is already preheated so it will not cool the fire, and its availability is unaffected by wind pressures on the home. -
Page 46: Installation Of Single Wall Chimney Connector
16.7.1 INSTALLATION OF SINGLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR The chimney connector assembly has been called “the weak link” in wood-burning system safety, because failure to install the connector properly (which has happened many times in the past) can result in house fires. The best flue pipe installation is one that runs straight up from the wood-burning appliance to the base of the chimney without any bends. - Page 47 A flue pipe must never pass through a combustible floor or ceiling or through an attic, roof space, closet, or • concealed space. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible material is desired, the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365 and NFPA 211, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.

Page 48: Furnace Maintenance
17 FURNACE MAINTENANCE Your new furnace will give you years of reliable service if you use and maintain it properly. Some of the internal components of the combustion chamber, such as firebricks, baffles, and air tubes, will wear out over time under intense heat. -
Page 49: Cleaning Door Glass
17.2 CLEANING DOOR GLASS Under normal conditions, your door glass should stay relatively clean. If your firewood is sufficiently dry and you follow the operating instructions in this manual, a whitish, dusty deposit will form on the inner surface of the glass after a week or so of use. -
Page 50: Replacement Of The Glass And Gaskets
17.4 REPLACEMENT OF GLASS AND GASKETS After a year or more of use, the door seal will compress and become hard which can allow air to pass through. You can check the air tightness of your door gasket by closing and locking the door on a piece of paper. The test must be performed all the way around the door. - Page 51 8. Install the new gasket on the glass. Remove some of the paper covering the gasket adhesive. And center the gasket on the edge of the glass so that when folded and glued, the gasket is equal on both sides. Do not stretch the gasket during installation.
-
Page 52: Heat Exchangers Care
17.6 HEAT EXCHANGERS CARE Heat exchangers must be cleaned thoroughly at the end of each heating season. During summer months, air in basements is more humid, and with minimal air circulation within the furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits and form an acid that will accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel. - Page 53 3. Use the scraper provided, clean the three exchanger tubes. 4. Dirt in the lateral exchangers (1 and 3) will fall into the rear of the combustion chamber. 5. Dirt accumulated in the central exchanger (2) will be removed from the front or the rear of the furnace. If you remove dirt from the central exchange to the back of the furnace, disconnect the black pipe connector to dispose of the deposit.
- Page 54 6. Next, check that the baffle is clear of ashes and reposition it in its original position towards the back of the combustion chamber. Important to note that if the baffle is not positioned correctly, the furnace will not operate efficiently. 7.

Page 55: Thermocouples Care
17.7 THERMOCOUPLES CARE 1. Move the baffle (A) of the combustion chamber forward. 2. With a brush, carefully clean the surface of the thermocouples. -
Page 56: Chimney Maintenance
3. Then, reposition the baffle (A) back to its original position towards the back of the combustion chamber. Important to note that the furnace will not burn properly if the baffle is not repositioned correctly. 17.8 CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney connector and chimney, forming a flammable deposit called creosote. If creosote is allowed to build up in the venting system, it can ignite all the way up the chimney if the flue reaches ignition temperature Severe chimney fires can damage even the best chimneys. -
Page 57: Smoke Pipe Inspection
17.10 SMOKE PIPE INSPECTION The smoke pipe must be inspected regularly during the heating season. The pipe must be examined carefully to detect any defects or damages. The pipe can be reassembled if no defect is detected, and defective pipe must be replaced immediately. ... -
