  • Page 7: Introduction

    1.1 INTRODUCTION Take note that this furnace uses the same wood burning technology as a high efficiency EPA certified wood burning stove. This applies to the lighting, the ember bed, and the minimum combustion air intake which was calibrated to burn good seasoned cordwood.
  • Page 8: Chimney And Draft

    1.2 CHIMNEY AND DRAFT This furnace must be connected to a chimney certified for wood burning heating appliances; a 6” connector and chimney is mandatory. When connected to an oil heating system, the smoke pipe must have a 5” diameter. If the chimney draft exceeds -0.06’’...
  • Page 9: Part A - Safety Rules

    2 PART A - SAFETY RULES 2.1 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 WASTES OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, MOTOR OIL, OR OTHER UNSUITABLE MATTERS.
  • Page 10: Smoke Detector

    When ignited, creosote produces an extremely hot fire inside the chimney. To avoid this situation, it is important to do the rotation of wood away from heating appliances and lighting products. Inspect the chimney system at regular intervals to determine a cleaning cycle. A weekly cleaning might be required during mild temperature periods but a monthly cleaning should be sufficient during cold periods.
  • Page 11: Glass Characteristics

    The glass is made of 3/16” (5 mm) thick ceramic glass. 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. 2.8 ASH DRAWER Your furnace is equipped with an ash drawer to collect ashes produced by the combustion of wood.
  • Page 12: Damper

    CAUSES RESTRICTION PROPER INSTALLATION IMPROPER INSTALLATION 2- A minimum rise of ¼” per horizontal foot must be respected. 2.11 DAMPER The barometric damper must be adjusted so that the maximum draft measured at the furnace outlet is limited to -0.06 in. w.c. However, the minimum draft to be respected at all times is -0.04 in.
  • Page 13: Fresh Air Intake

    2.12 FRESH AIR INTAKE When the furnace and the chimney are completely cold, it may be necessary to provide fresh air by opening a door or a window for a few minutes while lighting the fire. Take note that a house constructed or renovated in order to be airtight may lack the volume of fresh air necessary for the proper combustion of a solid-fuel heating appliance.

      INSULATED PIPE AIR SUPPLY AIR INLET EXTERIOR WALL 2.13 FILTERS WARNING THE FURNACE SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WITHOUT FILTERS. THIS APPLIES ESPECIALLY TEMPORARY HEATING DURING CONSTRUCTION PERIOD. OPERATING THE FURNACE WITHOUT FILTERS WOULD ALLOW DUST AND OTHER PARTICLES IN THE AIR TO CIRCULATE FREELY AND TO PENETRATE INTO THE FAN AND MOTOR CARTERS, CAUSING SOME DEFECTS.

  • Page 82: Heating

    4.3 HEATING 1. Poke the fire and spread the embers evenly at the center of the combustion chamber before adding more wood. 2. Avoid overfilling the combustion chamber; air must be allowed to circulate freely through the upper portion of the chamber for the stove to perform best. Also remember that a small hot fire burns cleaner than a big smoldering one.

Open the blower access panel and remove the air filter to improve the circulation of air around the combustion chamber of the Caddy furnace.
  • Page 85: Part D - Maintenance

    5 PART D - MAINTENANCE 5.1 HEAT EXCHANGERS CARE Heat exchangers must be cleaned thoroughly at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air in basements is damper and with minimal air circulation within the furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the exchangers to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel.
