2. When adding fuel be careful not to hit or bump

the ceramic bafﬂe board located at the top of the

ﬁrebox.

3. Add fuel being careful not to overload or over ﬁre

the stove.

4. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the

ﬁre. Do not build ﬁres against glass and make sure

the coal bed does not obstruct the air inlet. Do not

add fuel to such a height or in such manner that it

creates a hazard when opening the door.

5. Close the feed door and secure tightly.

6. Adjust the air inlet control as described above.

7. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes to pile

up (see Safety Instructions #14 on page 2.)

8. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see Safety

Instructions, item #14 on page 2.)

9. Do not over ﬁre the stove (over ﬁring is when

any part of the stove exterior or chimney

connections glow).

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FIRE APPLIANCE.

YOU ARE OVER FIRING IF THE CHIMNEY

CONNECTORS OR STOVE GLOWS RED. CLOSE

THE DOOR AND SHUT DAMPER IMMEDIATELY

TO REDUCE THE AIR SUPPLY AND SLOW

DOWN THE FIRE.

CAUTION: SLOW BURNING FIRES AND

EXTENDED USE MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE

CREOSOTE BUILDUP. IGNITION OF CRE-

OSOTE OR OVER FIRING MAY CAUSE A

CHIMNEY FIRE. CHIMNEY FIRES BURN

EXTREMELY HOT AND MAY IGNITE

SURROUNDING MATERIALS. IN CASE OF A

CHIMNEY FIRE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

IMMEDIATELY.

CREOSOTE – FORMATION AND NEED FOR

REMOVAL

CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE When wood is burned

slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors,

which combine with expelled moisture to form

creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the

relatively cool chimney ue 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 at least once every two months

during the heating season to determine if a

creosote buildup has occurred.

If creosote has accumulated (3mm or more)

it should be removed to reduce the risk of a

chimney ﬁre.

Failure to remove creosote may result in ignition

and may cause a house/building ﬁre. Creosote may be

removed using a chimney brush or other commonly

available materials from your local hardware retailer.

Chimney ﬁres burn very hot. If the unit or chimney

connector should glow red, reduce the ﬁre by clos-

ing the inlet air control and immediately call the ﬁre

department.

CAUTION: A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNI-

TION OF WALL STUDS OR RAFTERS WHICH

WERE ASSUMED TO BE A SAFE DISTANCE

FROM THE CHIMNEY. IF A CHIMNEY FIRE

HAS OCCURRED, HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY IN-

SPECTED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT BEFORE

USING AGAIN.

A ﬁre in the ﬁrebox may be smothered by pouring

a large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda, or cool

ashes on top of the ﬁre.

PREVENTING CREOSOTE BUILDUP

1. Creosote will inevitably form in your chimney and

connector pipe. Following these steps will help

reduce the rate of build up.

2. BURN ONLY SEASONED WOOD that has dried

for at least one year. (<20% humidity by weight)

3. Burn hardwood rather than softwood. Hardwood

is denser or heavier wood and burns hotter.

4. Do not attempt to burn (or mix in) green or wet

wood. The use of green or wet wood will cause a

rapid build up of creosote. Wood that hisses, sizzles

and blackens without igniting in ﬁve minutes must

be considered too wet to burn.
