Safety
Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation of the heater. Ensure they have enough knowledge of the entire system if they are expected to operate it. Stress the section on chimney fires and the importance of following the steps outlined "In the Event of aChimney Fire".
NOTE: SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS MAY BE REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED IN THE AREA WHERE THE HEATER IS INSTALLED. Even if not requred, we strongly recommend that they be installed in the area where the heater is installed
If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may notice that they are operating frequently. This may be due to curing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally leaving the fire door open. Do not disconnect the detectors.

Chimney Smoke and Creosote Formation
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected periodically (at least once every two months) during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3 mm. or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
1. Highest smoke densities and emissions occur when a large amount of wood is added to a bed of hot coals and the air inlet is closed. The heated wood generates smoke, but without ample air, the smoke cannot burn. Smoke-free, clean burning requires small fuel loads, two or three logs at a time or 1/4 to 1/2 of fuel load and leaving the air inlet relatively wide open, especially during the first 10 to 30 minutes after each loading, when most of the smoke generating reactions are occurring. After 30 minutes or so, the air inlet can be turned down substantially without excessive smoke generation. Wood coals create very little creosote-producing smoke.
2. The cooler the surface over which the wood smoke is passing, the more creosote will be condensed. Wet or green wood contributes significantly to creosote formation as the excess moisture that is boiled off cools the fire, making it difficult for the tars and gases to ignite, thus creating dense smoke and poor combustion. This moisture-laden smoke cools the chimney, compounding the problem by offering the smoke the ideal place to condense.
In summary, a certain amount of creosote is inevitable. Regular inspection and cleaning is the solution. The use of dry, seasoned wood and ample combustion air will help to minimize annoying smoke emissions and creosote buildup.
Chimney Fires
The dangerous side effect of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney fire. This causes much higher than normal temperatures in the chimney and on its exterior surfaces. Temperatures inside the chimney can exceed 2000°F (1100°C). Ignition of nearby or touching combustible material is more likely during a chimney fire. Proper clearances are critical to prevent damage during such a fire.
Chimney fires are easy to detect; they usually involve one or more of the following:
· Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney · A roaring sound · Vibration of the chimney

100003890

FP25 LE 220424-40

Avoiding a Chimney Fire
1. Burn wood cleanly. Do not burn wet wood or turn down the unit too quickly after loading.
2. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney fire is possible.
3. Do not have fires in the heater that may ignite chimney fires. These are excessively hot fires, such as when burning household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood; (eg. with a full load on a hot bed of coals and with the air inlet wide open for more time than is needed to completely char a fresh fuel load.)
4. The Chimney and connector pipe should be inspected /cleaned periodically.
In The Event of a Chimney Fire
1. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone's safety. Have a well understood plan of action for evacuation. Have a place outside where everyone is to meet.
2. Close air inlet on stove.
3. Call local fire department. Have a fire extinguisher handy. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for further information on how to handle a chimney fire. It is most important that you have a clearly understood plan on how to handle a chimney fire.
4. After the chimney fire is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks before starting another fire. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.
We strongly recommend that your chimney be inspected by professionals who are certified by one of the following;
NFI (National Fireplace Institute®) in the United States, CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) in the United States and Canada, WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) in Canada or APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage) in Quebec
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fire. Do not burn garbage, or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha, or engine oil.
Curing of the Paint Finish
See Stove Bright user guide. The paint on your stove must be cured at operating temperature. When burning your stove for the first 2-3 times, it is very important that the room be well ventilated. Open all windows and doors. Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Health Warning. The smoke from the curing process displaces oxygen. Small children, elderly folks and persons with existing breathing problems should vacate the area during the hot burn to avoid the discomfort of lost oxygen. The smoke is primarily Carbon Dioxide, and therefore non-toxic but uncomfortable.
· DO NOT STORE/PLACE WOOD WITHIN THE STOVES INSTALLATION CLEARANCES, INCLUDING IN FRONT OF THE UNIT.

Operation

CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.

WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This heater is not designed for open door burning.

WARNING: No alteration or modification of the combustion air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering will void warranty and could be very hazardous.

WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the fuel. Burn directly on the fire bricks. Replace broken or missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition.

CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

Wood Selection

Your Fireplace is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.

Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or "green" wood will cause the fire to smoulder and produce large amounts of smoke and creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and tends to go out often. Wood should be stored under cover away from open flame or heat sources.
DO NOT BURN THESE MATERIALS

Salt water wood * Wet or green wood Garbage* Lawn clippings/yard waste Railroad ties Materials containing plastic Construction or demolition debris
Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.

Treated wood Coal/charcoal Solvents Unseasoned wood Manure or animal remains Materials containing asbestos Materials containing rubber, including tires
Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products

* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.

Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.

The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater.

Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless, odorless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to barbecue in this heater.

100003890

FP25 LE 220424-40

How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without igniting in five minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fire.
Never Leave The Fireplace Unattended With The Door Open
1. Adjust air control to "High" position (all the way to the left).
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and crisscross with several pieces of small dry kindling. Ignite the paper and leave the door ajar approximately 1"(25mm) - 4"(100mm) until the kindling is fully ignited and engulfed in flame.
3. After the kindling is burnt down 50%, add 2-3 small splits or small logs 1"(25mm) diameter. Crack the door open approximately 1"(25mm) - 2"(100mm) until the wood kindling is fully ignited.
4. When the start-up fuel is burnt down 50%, and a good coal base exists add your regular fuel. Close the door and begin normal operation after and wood has ignited. If the fuel load is slow to ignite crack the door open 1" to 2"(25mm - 50mm). Close the door as soon as the fuel ignites. Repeat if flames start to die out.
Normal Operation
WARNING: This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the operating instructions in this manual.
1. Set air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates you have shut the control down too soon or you are using too low a setting. The wide range control makes finding the desired setting for your application easy. As every home's heating needs vary (ie. insulation, windows, climate, etc.) the proper setting can only be found by trial and error and should be noted for future burns.
2. To refuel, adjust air control to "High" position(all the way to the left), and give the fire time to brighten. Open the door slowly, this will prevent backpuffing or flame roll-out.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length ( recommended 17"(432mm)). Load your wood and try to place the logs so that the air can flow between them. Always use dry wood.
4. Do not load fuel to a height that exceeds 7 1/2" from the firebox floor or in such a manner that would be hazardous when opening the door.
5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the wood completely on "High" setting before adjusting air control to the "Low" setting for overnight burn.

FP25 LE 220424-40

100003890

Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers, close door.
2. Adjust air control to high and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum firing rate, set control to "High" position(all the way to the left). Do not use this setting other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
Over Firing
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
Over firing can be caused by operating the unit with the door open, damage to door gaskets allowing excess air to enter the firebox, the use of kiln dried lumber, mill ends or paper waste and prolonged or continual use on a high burn setting.
Proper Draft
Operation with the door open can cause excessive smoke. Do not operate this unit in a manner that will cause excessive smoke.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove part or chimney indicates excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates inadequate draft.
WARNING: This unit is not designed to be operated during normal operation with the firing door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of sparks landing on combustibles, an open fire door will cause the heater to draw excess air from the living space and possibly cause suffocation.

Maintenance
· Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and firing technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe.WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS SUPPLIED OR SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENTS. DO NOT USE A FIREPLACE INSERT OR OTHER PRODUCTS NOT SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH THIS FIREPLACE.
· Do not store wood within heater installation clearances, or within the space required for fuel loading and ash removal. Keep the area around the heater clean and free of loose combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.
· Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation of the heater. Ensure they have enough knowledge of the entire system if they are expected to operate it. Stress the section on chimney fires and the importance of following the steps outlined, see "In The Event of a Chimney Fire" on page 5
· Inspect and clean your chimney system at the beginning of the burning season before your first fire and at least every two months during the burning season. Inspect the interior and exterior of the pipe for defects and/or damage. Remove and inspect the rain cap. Refer to the chimney system manufacturer's installation instructions for the procedure to remove and or replace any necessary components to the chimney system.
· Maintain a distance of 48"(1.2m) to all combustible materials in the room. See also "Ember Protector" on page 23 for the Floor Protection dimensions.
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE APPLIANCE WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT. FAILURE TO RECTIFY AN OVER FIRING CONDITION CAN BE HAZARDOUS AND MAY VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.
Ash Removal
Caution: Remove ashes frequently. Embers can roll out the door and create a fire hazard. Maintain a 1" to 4" (25mm - 100mm) ash base. Ashes are to be removed only when the fire has burned down and both the ashes and heater is cold. Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1" (25 mm) deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed for future fires. The area where boost combustion air enters the firebox must be kept clear of excessive ash buildup which will block air flow. This area is at the front of the firebox.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in this container.

100003890

FP25 LE 220424-40

Door Glass/Gaskets
· If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor wood, it can be cleaned with fireplace glass cleaner when the fireplace is cold. Never scrape with an object that might scratch the glass. The type and amount of deposit on the glass is a good indication of the flue pipe and chimney buildup. A light brown dusty deposit that is easily wiped off usually indicates good combustion and dry, well-seasoned wood and therefore relatively clean pipes and chimney. On the other hand, a black greasy deposit that is difficult to remove is a result of wet and green wood and too slow a burning rate. This heavy deposit is building up as quickly in the chimney.
· DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used by Pacific Energy (7/8"(22mm) medium density fibreglass rope) requires only light pressure to seal. This will prolong seal life. It is important that the door seal be maintained in good condition. Periodically inspect seals and replace if necessary.
· DOOR GLASS - Replacement glass can be obtained from your dealer. Use 18" (457mm) x 10-1/4" (260mm) x 5 mm ceramic glass only.
WARNING: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE GLASS WITH ANY OTHER TYPE MATERIAL OTHER THAN CERAMIC GLASS
WARNING: DO NOT SLAM LOADING DOOR OR OTHERWISE IMPACT GLASS. WHEN CLOSING DOOR, MAKE SURE THAT NO LOGS PROTRUDE TO IMPACT THE GLASS. IF THE GLASS GETS CRACKED OR BROKEN, IT MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE USING THE FIREPLACE.
To remove broken glass,remove the door gasket. Remove the screws that holds the retainer to the door and remove the retainer, noting position for reassembly. Remove all particles of glass. Be careful as they are very sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace retainers, screws and gasket.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, TIGHTEN SCREWS HAND TIGHT DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON GLASS
Blowers:
It is recomended that the Blowers should be cleaned out at least once a year minimum.
1. The blowers are accessed by removing the Front Trim Panel. Lift up and pull the Front Trim away from the unit, the blowers are located on each side of the Firebox.
2. Use a vacuum to gently remove dust and debris from the intakes and wheel of the blower.
Baffle:
· Some warping of the baffle is normal(up to 1/4" or .65cm). · Replace if the baffle has permanent warping greater than this or has cracking or breakage. · Please contact your Dealer if you experience any of the damage listed above. Continuing to operate your
fireplace with broken parts may accelerate damage to other parts · and may void your warranty.

FP25 LE 220424-40

100003890

Baffle Removal: DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR INSULATION REMOVED.

WARNING: AFTER YOU REMOVE THE BAFFLE, ALWAYS COVER THE TOP OF THE BAFFLE AIR TUBE LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THE FIREBOX. THIS PREVENTS DEBRIS FALLING DOWN THE TUBE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN POOR OPERATION AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO FIREPLACE COMPONENTS.

Baffle tube

Figure 1: Baffle tube.
Remove retaining pin located just beneath the baffle at the rear inside top of the firebox (Figure 1). Lift baffle up and pull forward to disconnect from the supply tube. Slide the baflle to one side and then tilt baffle sideways to drop down and remove from firebox. To re-install the baffle, perform the removal steps in the reverse order. Ensure that the two side pieces of insulation are set tight against the baffle. If the insulation is damaged during removal, it should be replaced. The baffle should only be removed after the chimney is being cleaned.

Secondary Air Box Cleaning

The Secondary Air Box Cleaning should only be done if something has fallen down the Baffle Tube. The secondary air box is attached to the Firebox bottom, under the Baffle Tube. The Air Box can be cleaned by removing the small access panel on the bottom of the firebox just in front of the Baffle Tube.

1. Remove the rear bricks to expose the access panel, then remove only the 2 screws holding the access panel.

2. Use a vacuum to gently suck out any debris. Do Not place anything inside the access opening or damage may occur.
3. Replace the access panel. Replace the gasket if needed.

Fireplace Installation
Warning: Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed in a makeshift or "temporary" manner. It may be fired only after the following conditions have been met.
Check with your local fire/building authority for any installation code requirements and restrictions in your area. · The services of a competent or certified installer, (certified by the Wood Energy Technical Training program
(WETT) - in Canada, Hearth Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in U.S.A.,) are strongly recommended. · DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. · WARNING:DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM. (MANUFACTURED OR MOBILE HOME ONLY)

Locating your Fireplace
The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the FP25 Fireplace will be located. Allow space in front of the unit for the Ember Protection and clearances to combustibles. Take into consideration the location of the chimney. Ideally, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without cutting floor or roof joists. See "Fireplace Clearances and Dimensions" on page 15.
The FP25 fireplace may not be installed in a factory built fireplace unless tested with the fireplace.
Wind direction and magnitude can play a factor in the chimney performance. Therefore the chimney outlet position is important when locating the fireplace. We recommend, whenever possible, that the chimney should:
· Penetrate the highest part of the roof. · Be installed as far as possible from roof offsets, trees or any other obstructions that may cause wind
turbulence or back drafts in the chimney. · Contain the fewest number of offsets (elbows) possible.
Check the adequacy of the floor by first estimating the weight of the fireplace system (approx. 500lbs(227Kg)), plus the venting. Next measure the area the fireplace will occupy. Note the floor construction and consult your local building code to determine if any additional floor support is needed. In most cases, no additional support is needed for the fireplace.
The FP25 fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor or on a raised base. A minimum of 84"(2.13m) measured from the base of the appliance to the ceiling is required inside the chase.

Mobile Home Installation notes:
· In the USA: the unit must be installed in accoradance with the requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)"Manufactured Home Construction and Safety.
· In Canada: the unit must be installed with access openings into the built in enclosure for inspection purposes. The access covers must require a household tool to open.

Crate Removal
1. Carefully remove wood top and supports. 2. Remove the screws securing the fireplace to the pallet(4). 3. Remove from pallet bottom.

4. Assemble the chimney sections so the finished length is resting on the manufacturer's anchor plate and protruding through the roof. Avoid having joints between the ceiling and the roof. It is required that the chimney connections be secured with three (3) #8x½"(12 mm) stainless screws.

5. As per the vent manufacturers instructions, Install the Roof Radiation Shield, Flashing and Storm Collar. Be sure to maintain the vapour barrier at this point. (Seal securely.)

6. Install any exterior venting - If the chimney extends more than 5'(1.5m) above the point of contact with the roof, then it must be secured using roof braces

7. Securely attach the rain cap and check the flashing for leaks.

Offset Chimney:
The chimney for the FP25 can be installed with a maximum of four 45° elbows (in Canada) or four 30° elbows (in U.S.A.) as shown in Figure 11.
Follow the chimney manufacturer's guidelines for supporting the offsets. Reminder - The chimney must be supported after the first 20'(6.1m) in length.

Maintain Chimney manufacturer's clearances

1. NOTE: Install the vertical chimney section(s) then the first elbow and turn it in the required direction.
2. Install the necessary chimney lengths to achieve the required offset. Lock the chimney lengths together according to the chimney manufacturer's instructions. If the offset length is made of two (2) chimney lengths or more, many chimney manufacturers may require that you use an offset or roof support halfway up the offset. If penetrating a wall, install a wall radiation shield supplied by the chimney manufacturer and install according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Minimum 36" length of Chimney before first elbow

3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertically and secure the

elbow.

Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the fireplace in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment before proceeding.
1. Outside Air Supply: WARNING: This must get its air from the outdoors and be finished with an approved vent cap. The use of outside combustion air for residential installations requires that the fireplace be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of the air duct. Check local building codes for instructions on sealing the vent cap at the penetration point of the building. The combustion air inlet ducts can not terminate in an attic space or garage.
Installation:
Outside air may be drawn through either side or back of the unit by connecting 4"(102mm) rigid or flex pipe onto the outside air adapter opening provided on the either side of the combustion air box. The fireplace comes with the outside air adapter factory installed on the right side. You are able to switch this with the cover plate on the left side if required (Figure 13). We recomend insulated flex when being installed in cold climates.
Use an approved 4"(102mm) inlet vent cap. Cut or drill a corresponding hole in the closest exterior wall or in the floor anywhere inside the chase. Cover the hole and install a 20GA wire mesh minimum, rodent screen and staple/nail in place. Provide water protection as required by building code. Attach 4"(102mm) venting (not supplied) between the units adapter and the inlet vent. A typical outside air connection is shown in Figure 14.
2. Room Air Supply -The fireplace can draw its air from the room through a space between the surround panels or through air inlet ducts placed near the floor in the chase.
CAUTION: The living space around the heater must be well ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking the flue gases. If blockage occurs, flue gases may enter living space.
WARNING: This unit is not designed to be operated with the firing door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of sparks landing on combustibles, an open fire door will cause the heater to draw excess air from the living space and possibly cause suffocation.
WARNING: THE COMBUSTION AIR INLET MUST BE AT LEAST 5ft (1.5m) BELOW CHIMNEY OUTLET AND MUST NEVER TERMINATE IN ATTIC SPACES.

Conditions Your stove has been designed to perform in the harshest climates in North America. You can be confident that under normal use your stove will be trouble free for many years.
