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 re. As a

result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining.

When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot

re. The chimney and chimney connector 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

re.

      Close the

air control and bypass damper and notify the re

department. Do NOT apply water to the re, in the

rebox or in the chimney. Do not operate the appliance

until the chimney and connector have been inspected

and approved by a chimney professional.

Do not burn any fuel other than wood, such as char-

coal, which can cause increased carbon monoxide

production or overring. Never use highly volatile sub-

stances in your stove, such as gasoline, which could

cause an explosion.

When solid fuels are burned completely, they pro-

duce water and carbon dioxide. However, in long slow

burns, a substantial amount of carbon monoxide may

be produced. If allowed to build up, carbon monoxide

(which is odorless) can prove fatally poisonous. Proper

ventilation and draft will prevent this from happening.

If you smell smoke, turn up the air control lever setting,

and thoroughly ventilate your dwelling. During future

burns, be careful not to overload the stove with fuel, so

you will not be tempted to constantly operate at a low

air control setting.

Other causes of poor ventilation or draft are icing,

exhaust fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room air

starvation. If your stove is sluggish and you get occa-

sional odor, check these possibilities and increase the

air ow in your home.

At least once per year, the stove, venting connectors

and chimney should be thoroughly cleaned. If the

areas are found to have an excessive build up of ash or

creosote, it is recommended to increase the frequency

of the cleaning. This will extend the life of the appliance

and its components. A vacuum specically designed for

ash is preferred, however a standard shop-style vacuum

with a HEPA lter may also work just ne.

During cleaning, caution must be taken not to damage

the white / gray colored ceramic combustion package

in the rear of the rebox. When using a brush in the

chimney or venting connector, the by-pass damper

should be placed in the open position to help prevent

ash, creosote or other debris from falling down onto

and around the combustion package. This also protects

the top of the combustion package from tool or brush

damage and diverts most of the removed materials

into the rebox for easy clean-up and removal. Once

the venting system has been cleaned, remove the rst

section of connector pipe from the appliance ue collar.

Carefully vacuum the ash and debris from around the

sides and top of the combustion package.

The shoe brick must be removed to allow vacuum

access for cleaning the front portion of the combustion

package.

Always use caution when refueling or when vacuuming

the rebox and combustion package. Some users have

damaged their combustion package with vacuum

cleaner tools, and re pokers.
