Page 4: Introduction
1. CHIMNEY AND DRAFT This furnace must be connected to a chimney certified for wood burning heating appliances; a 6 inch inside diameter chimney and connector is recommended for the Mini-Caddy. Never install a manual damper. If a barometric control must installed, it must be adjusted so that the maximum draft measured at the furnace outlet does not exceed -0.06 in. -

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 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. -
Page 6: Smoke Detector
SMOKE DETECTOR We highly recommend the use of a smoke detector. It should be installed at least 15 feet (4,57 m) from the appliance in order to prevent undue triggering of the detector when reloading. DOOR GLASS To maintain a clean and safe installation, do not build your fire too close to the glass or allow the fire logs to lean on the glass. -
Page 7: Ash Drawer
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 may cause over firing and serious damages to the furnace. The drawer must be cleaned regularly. -

Page 9: C- Pipe Connector
C- PIPE CONNECTOR The Mini-Caddy must be connected to a 6” chimney. If draft exceed –0.06 w.c., you must install a barometric control. The barometric control must be adjusted so that the maximum draft measured at the furnace outlet is limited to -0.06 in. -
Page 10: D- Damper
D- 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. H O could result in an uncontrollable fire. On the other hand, the minimum draft to be respected is -0.04 in. -
Page 11: Parallel Installation
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. -
Page 12: F- Electrical Connection
F- ELECTRICAL CONNECTION MINI-CADDY WOOD ONLY To install the Mini-Caddy in wood only configuration, the use of the PSG “fan limit kit for wood only furnaces” option (PA00500) is required and it has to be ordered separately. The combined limit control is part of that wiring kit and it must be mounted near the flue outlet, where holes are set for the control’s sensor and mounting screws. -
Page 13: G- Electric Element (Mini-Caddy Wood / Electric)
G- ELECTRIC ELEMENT (MINI-CADDY WOOD / ELECTRIC) The WOOD / ELECTRIC combined model is installed with two 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. -
Page 14: H- Thermostat
OUTSIDE VIEW OF THE ELECTRIC ELEMENT H- 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 15: Operating Instructions
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTROL SYSTEM On the wood only furnaces, the thermostat controls the air inlet damper. When the thermostat calls for heat, the damper opens and the fire stirs up. When the furnace gets hot enough, the combined limit control activates the blower motor at the speed selected for heating. -
Page 16: Heating
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 combustion chamber in order to obtain an efficient operation of the appliance. -
Page 17: Chimney Fires
Whenever a substantial amount of smoke is noticed in the room, you must: 1. Open doors and windows. 2. Make sure the furnace door is closed as well as the damper (if necessary, lower the thermostat starting point or unhook the damper chain, and close the barometric draft control manually). 3. -
Page 18: 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): unscrew the wing nut on the exchangers access door. See pictures below. Before cleaning the three exchanger pipes, move the upper plate of the combustion chamber forward (see drawing on next page). -
