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.
We recommend that our wood burning hearth products be installed and serviced
by professionals who are certified in the United States by NFI (National Fireplace
Institute®) or in Canada by WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) or in
Quebec by APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage).
This model line is certified as meeting the emissions limits in 40 C.F.R. part 60,
section 60.532 (B) per EPA methods 28 and 5G-3, February 1988.
To optimize the efficiency of your furnace, here is some advice that you should
follow when installing or operating your MINI-CADDY furnace:
Respect the local codes (when in doubt, consult your local dealer);
Verify the specifications on the certification plate concerning the clearances to
make sure that they correspond to the ones included in this instruction
manual.
Make sure your furnace is installed according to the instructions on the
certification label;
All controls and adjustments must be performed by a qualified technician. The
blower speed must conform to the recommendations of the Warm Air Heating
and Air Conditioning National Association and should respect the static
pressure ranges in the warm air plenum of the furnace.
WARNING
THE INFORMATION GIVEN ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL AFFIXED TO
THE APPLIANCE ALWAYS OVERRIDES THE INFORMATION PUBLISHED,
IN ANY OTHER MEDIA (OWNER’S MANUAL, CATALOGUES, FLYERS,
MAGAZINES AND/OR WEB SITES).
Taux d’émissions : 6.0 g/h
Average efficiency: 84 % (LHV)

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.
If the chimney draft exceeds -0.06’’ w.c, a barometric draft control should be
installed on the smoke pipe. Never install a manual damper.
The barometric control must be adjusted so that the maximum draft measured at
the furnace outlet does not exceed -0.06’’ w.c. Please note that a draft
exceeding -0.06” w.c. will reduce the efficiency and could produce an
uncontrollable fire. On the other hand, the minimum draft required is 0.04”
w.c. in the evacuation pipe on the wood side, no matter what type of
furnace.
8
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.
Do not install an automatic feeder on this furnace.
Do not store wood in the vicinity of the furnace. Respect the required
clearances between combustible materials and the source of heat.
WARNING
THE ASH DRAWER AND EXCHANGERS ACCESS PANEL GET VERY HOT.
DO NOT MANIPULATE WITH BARE HANDS.
2.2 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 disappear. The smoke is not toxic.
2.3 ASH DISPOSAL
Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The container
should be stored outdoors, well away from combustible materials. This container
should not receive any other type of waste. If the ashes are meant to be buried in
soil, wait until all embers have thoroughly cooled before burying.
2.4 CREOSOTE BUILD-UP AND REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which,
when combined with moisture, form creosote. The creosote vapours condensate
in a relatively cool chimney flue. As a result, creosote residues accumulate
inside the flue lining and the exchangers.
N.B.: To minimize the frequency of the chimney cleaning, buy your firewood at
least one year before using it. Store it in a dry place in order to obtain the
minimum moisture rate and optimize the efficiency. Do not store wood or
combustible materials within the installation minimum clearances or the space
required to reload the appliance and remove ashes.
9
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.
If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated, it must be removed
immediately to eliminate the risk of chimney fire. (It is recommended to clean
the heat exchangers thoroughly at the end of season in order to prevent
corrosion).
Remember that a small, hot fire is preferable to a large smouldering one to
prevent creosote build-ups within the system. Prepare an emergency procedure
in case of a chimney fire (See Section 4.6.)
2.5 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.
2.6 DOOR GLASS
To maintain a clean and safe installation, do not build your fire too close to the
glass or allow logs to lean on the glass. Do not operate your furnace at too low a
setting. Keep the air inlet opened long enough during the fire start-up to prevent
the fire from smouldering, which could stain the glass.
An intense fire will help keep the glass clean. However, in the event that your
glass gets stained, which should not occur under normal operating conditions,
you will have to clean it using a wet cloth and a wood stove glass cleaner. Clean
the glass ONLY when the unit has cooled down. Do not use abrasive cleanser.
Wood stove glass cleaners are available in most home centers and specialty
hearth retailers.
WARNING
AVOID KNOCKING OR SCRATCHING THE GLASS. IT COULD CRACK OR
BREAK.
10
2.7 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. 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 emptied regularly.
WARNING
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE DOOR AND THE ASH DRAWER BE KEPT
CLOSED WHILE THE APPLIANCE IS IN USE. MAINTAIN ALL GASKETS IN
GOOD CONDITION; IN CASE OF DETERIORATION, CONTACT YOUR
DEALER FOR A GENUINE REPLACEMENT GASKET.
2.9 ASH GRATE
You must replace the ash grate if it is damaged and a replacement may be
obtained from your dealer. The steel cover on the ash grate is meant to optimize
the temperature inside the combustion chamber and should only be removed to
empty the ashes.
