    SECTION A: WOOD OR WOOD/ELECTRIC COMBINED FURNACES. INTRODUCTION Take note that this furnace operates like an EPA wood burning stove. This applies to the lighting, the embers and the minimum combustion air intake which depends on the type and the grade of the combustible. This model line is certified as meeting the emissions limits in 40 C.F.R.
  • Page 5: Odour From The Paint

    W A R N I N G -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 resorb.
  • Page 6: Smoke Detector

    The glass is made of Pyroceram type of glass, 3/16” – (5 mm) thick. Do not operate your 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.
  • Page 7: Appliance Installation

    3. APPLIANCE INSTALLATION UNIT LOCATION The furnace must be installed where outside air supply is sufficient for proper combustion. In airtight houses, it might be necessary to install an outside air inlet (see details in: COMBUSTION AIR). The furnace must be positioned so that the connector is as short as possible; minimize the use of 90 elbows.
  • Page 8: Flue And Barometric Damper Connection

    FLUE AND BAROMETRIC DAMPER CONNECTION Before connecting the stove pipe, make sure you have removed the accessories from the flue pipe as the scraper, shovel and the poker. The flue outlet on the Caddy furnace is 6” in diameter and the wood only or wood/electric models may be installed with a 6”...
  • Page 9: Damper

    DAMPER If the draft exceeds -0.06 w.c., a barometric damper must installed. The barometric damper 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 w.c.
  • Page 10: Electrical Connection

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The following instructions do not supersede the local code. CADDY-WOOD ONLY On the wood Caddy, the fan limit control is installed with the support provided, on the left side of the appliance, (four holes are pre-drilled on the edge of the furnace, use the two that are closer to the front of the furnace), and connected to the electrical box along with the transformer.
  • Page 11: Electric Element Caddy Wood / Electric

    CADDY WOOD/ELECTRIC The high limit control is a manual reset thermostatic captor that is located inside the electric unit (see WIRING DIAGRAMS). The electric unit must be connected as shown on the diagram. Install the wood fan limit control on the support provided, at the determined location.
  • Page 12: Thermostat

    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.
  • Page 13: Lighting

    The chain that links the air inlet damper to the motor must have a play of 1/8 inch. When there is no call for heat, the air inlet damper must be completely closed and the chain must be affixed to the damper motor at the“8 o’clock” position.
  • Page 14: Early Signs Of Overfired Furnace

    EARLY SIGNS OF 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 15: Maintenance

    5. MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE OF THE EXCHANGERS The evacuation 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. Wing nut Insulation Exchangers cover...
  • Page 16: 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.

    6. REPLACEMENT PARTS Your PSG furnace is designed to burn clean and requires little maintenance. It’s recommended to conduct a visual inspection at least once a month to uncover any damage to the unit. Any defect must be repaired without delay using genuine PSG replacement parts.
