  • Page 12: Chimney And Draft

    CHIMNEY AND DRAFT This furnace must be connected to a chimney certified for use with wood burning heating appliances, a 6-inch diameter chimney is recommended. The unit is not to be connected to a chimney flue serving another appliance. If the chimney draft exceeds 0.06 IN.W.C., a barometric draft control should be installed on the smoke pipe.

  • Page 13: Odour From The Paint

    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. This should be done before the ducts are connected to the furnace to prevent smoke dispersion in the house.

  • Page 14: Ash Grate

    ASH GRATE You must replace the ash grate if it is damaged and a replacement may be obtained from your dealer. ADDITIONAL FRESH AIR SUPPLY When the furnace and the chimney are completely cold, it may be necessary to provide fresh air by opening a door or a window for a few minutes while lighting the fire.

  • Page 15: Firewood

    10 FIREWOOD What is good firewood? Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the furnace, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is reduced to 15% to 20%. Tree species The tree species the firewood is produced from is less important than its moisture content.
  • Page 16 How to dry firewood? Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood burning appliances. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door. See section 16 FURNACE MAINTENANCE for concerns about creosote.

  • Page 28  To ensure a safe installation, the two furnaces must not, at any time, run simultaneously.  To do so, the thermostat controlling the existing furnace must be connected to your Caddy Advanced interlock terminal. This way, when a heating signal is sent to the existing furnace, the Caddy Advanced receives the same signal.

  • Page 29: Thermostat Installation

    13 THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION 13.1 WOOD FURNACE ONLY The furnace must be connected to a thermostat. You can use the one provided with the unit or use one that is already installed in your home. The thermostat must be installed on an inside wall and located where it is not likely to be affected by the draft coming from an air outlet.

  • Page 30: Add-On Furnace

    Example of thermostat wiring: Connect one wire to "RH" and the other wire to "W". The red jumper can be left in place. For more information, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. 13.2 ADD-ON FURNACE This furnace may be installed in parallel as an add-on to an existing furnace in the USA only. Such an installation requires that the furnace’s controls be interlocked to prevent both furnaces from heating at maximum rate simultaneously.
  • Page 31 2- From the thermostat connected to the existing furnace, connect 2 new wires (B) to the R and W terminals of your thermostat of your existing furnace and fix them to the terminal block identified "I" (interlock) of the Caddy Advanced parallel add-on furnace.

  • Page 32: Furnace Operation

    14 FURNACE OPERATION 14.1 HOW IT WORKS The Caddy Advanced furnace is equipped with a self-regulated combustion air supply control system. Using two temperature sensors in the combustion chamber that measure the temperature in real time, your furnace will automatically adjust the amount of combustion air required for the cleanest and most efficient combustion. Coupled with the thermostat, the furnace will automatically modulate the combustion rate according to the thermostatic demand.

  • Page 33: How To Light And Reload The Furnace

    14.3 HOW TO LIGHT AND RELOAD THE FURNACE? Always keep a maximum of 4 inches of ash in the firebox. Weekly empty the ash drawer to ensure the correct operation of the furnace. For a clean and efficient combustion always keep some space between the logs and leave at least 4 inches of space in front of the logs.

  • Page 36: Lighting Fires

    14.5 LIGHTING FIRES Each person who heats with wood develops their own favorite method to light fires. Whatever method you choose, your goal should be to get a hot fire burning quickly. A fire that starts fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the chimney.

  • Page 37: Maintaining Wood Fires

    15 MAINTAINING WOOD FIRES 15.1 GENERAL ADVICE Wood heating is very different than other forms of heating. Do not expect steady heat output from your furnace. It is normal for its temperature to rise after a new load of wood is ignited and for its temperature to gradually decline as the fire progresses.

  • Page 38: Firing Each New Load Hot

    15.1.2 FIRING EACH NEW LOAD HOT Press the reload button, place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal. Close the door. Firing each load of wood hot accomplishes a few things:  Drives the surface moisture from the wood. ...

  • Page 39: Furnace Maintenance

    16 FURNACE MAINTENANCE Your new furnace will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat. You should always replace defective parts with original parts (see section 18 EXPLODED DIAGRAM AND PARTS LIST).

  • Page 40: Cleaning Door Glass

    16.2 CLEANING DOOR GLASS Under normal conditions, your door glass should stay relatively clear. If your firewood is dry enough and you follow the operating instructions in this manual, a whitish, dusty deposit will form on the inside of the glass after a week or so of use.

  • Page 41: Replacement Of The Glass And Gaskets

    16.4 REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS AND GASKETS After a year or more of use, the gasket of the door will compress and become hard which can allow air to pass. You can check the air tightness of your door gasket by closing and locking the door on a piece of paper. Check all around the door.

  • Page 42: Cleaning And Painting The Furnace

    8. Install the new gasket on the glass. Remove a part of the paper covering the gasket adhesive. Center the gasket on the edge of the glass so that when folded and glued, the gasket is equal on both sides. Do not stretch the gasket during installation.

  • Page 43: Heat Exchangers Care

    16.6 HEAT EXCHANGERS CARE Heat exchangers must be cleaned thoroughly at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air in basements is damp with minimal air circulation within the furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the exchangers to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel.
  • Page 44 3. Use the tool provided, clean the three exchanger pipes. 4. Dirt in the lateral exchangers (1 and 3) fall into the combustion chamber at the rear. 5. Dirt in the central exchanger (2) will be removed from the front or the rear of the furnace. If you remove dirt from the central exchange to the back of the furnace, remove the black pipe connector to dispose of the deposit.
  • Page 45 7. Close the exchanger access door and secure it using the washer (C) and wing nut (B). 8. If you have performed the cleaning process by removing the chimney connector in the back of the furnace, be sure to reinstall the chimney connector with three screws at each connection.

  • Page 46: Thermocouples Care

    16.7 THERMOCOUPLES CARE 1. Move the baffle (A) of the combustion chamber forward. 2. With a brush, carefully clean the thermocouples.

  • Page 47: Chimney Maintenance

    3. Then, reposition the baffle in its original position towards the back of the combustion chamber. Important to note that the furnace will not burn correctly if the baffle is out of place during use. 16.8 CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney connector and chimney, forming a combustible deposit called creosote. If creosote is allowed to build up in the venting system, it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the furnace and a very hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney.

  • Page 48: Blower Motor Maintenance

    16.11 BLOWER MOTOR MAINTENANCE Periodic cleaning of the blower housing, impeller and louver as well as blower and blower blades using a vacuum cleaner provided for this purpose, is necessary in order not to affect performance and cause overheating of the system. 16.12 INSTALLATION OF SECONDARY AIR TUBES AND BAFFLE The secondary air tubes can be replaced without removing the baffle board.
