Operator Instructions
WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS SUPPLIED BY MANUFACTURER WHEN DOING
MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENTS.
4. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used on this unit (5/8" medium density fiberglass 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. Follow instructions included in the WODC.DG58 kit obtainable from your nearest
Pacific Energy Dealer.
5. DOOR GLASS - 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 stove.
Replacement glass can be obtained from your dealer. Use 16-1/2"(419mm) x 10-1/2"(267mm) x 5 mm. Ceramic
glass only.
Do not substitute with any other type.
To remove broken glass, remove the door gasket and then undo the eight screws securing the gasket guides and
glass retainers. Remove all particles of glass. Be careful as they are very sharp. Install new glass complete with
gasket. Replace glass retainers and gasket guides then install new door gasket as per instructions provided with the
door gasket kit.
CAUTION:
- do not overtighten, tighten screws very carefully - do not clean glass when hot
- do not use abrasive cleaners on glass
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited. Weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather,
even though monthly cleaning is usually enough in the coldest months when burning rates are higher.
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 Case of Chimney Fire".
Baffle Removal
Chimney connector pipe should be disconnected from stove to clean and inspect. Only if this is not possible should you
remove baffle assembly. CAUTION: Ceramic blanket insulation is located on top of baffle. Do not use a vacuum in this
area.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR INSULATION REMOVED.
Remove retaining pin at the back top of the firebox, just under the baffle. Lift baffle up and pull forward to disconnect
from the supply tube. Tilt baffle sideways to drop down and remove from firebox. Re-install baffle assembly in reverse
order.
WARNING
Sweep/Clean chimney with baffle installed or be sure to plug the top of the baffle tube in the back of the firebox before
sweeping or cleaning. Failure to prevent ash or soot from falling into the baffle tube will cause incorrect operation and
will lead to premature burn out of the tube or baffle.
