procedures
or
attempting
to
operate
the

Failure
to
do
so

Installation
and
repair
of
the
W3100FS
and
W3100I
Wood
Stove
should
be
done
by
a
qualified
service
person.
The
W3100FS
and
W3100I,
Chimney
connector
and
chimney
should
be
inspected
by
a
qualified
service
person
before
the
heating
season,
and
at
least
once
a
month
during
the
heating
season
to
determine
if
a
creosote
build
‐
up
had
occurred.
CAUTION:
DO
NOT
CONNECT
TO
ANY
AIR
DISTRIBUTION
DUCT
OR
SYSTEM.
Due
to
high
surface
temperatures,
the
W3100FS
and
W3100I
should
be
located
out
of
traffic
areas
and
away
from
furniture
and
draperies.
Children
and
adults
should
be
alerted
to
the
hazards
of
high
surface
temperatures
and
should
stay
away
to
avoid
burns
or
clothing
ignition.
Young
children
should
be
carefully
supervised
when
they
are
in
the
same
room
as
the
heater.
If
the
blower
cover
plate
(W3100FS)
or
the
optional
blower
assembly
have
been
removed
for
service,
they
must
be
replaced
prior
to
operating
the
heater.

QUALIFIED
SERVICE
PERSON.
Ensure
adequate
combustion
and
ventilation
air
are
provided,
and
that
they
are
not
obstructed.
CREOSOTE
–
FORMATION
AND
NEED
FOR
REMOVAL
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
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,
which
may
damage
the
chimney
or
even
cause
a
house
fire.
In
the
event
of
a
chimney
fire,
CALL
THE
FIRE
DEPARTMENT
IMMEDIATELY.
Chimney Cleaning & Inspection
Before
each
heating
season
the
entire
chimney
system,
combustion
chamber,
and
fireplace
should
be
professionally
inspected,
cleaned
and,
if
necessary,
repaired.
The
chimney
connector
and
chimney
should
be
inspected
at
least
once
a
month
during
the
heating
season
to
determine
if
creosote
build
‐
up
has
occurred.
The
chimney
system
should
be
inspected
at
the
chimney
connector
and
at
the
chimney
top.
Cooler
surfaces
tend
to
build
creosote
deposits
quicker,
so
it
is
important
to
check
the
chimney
from
the
top
as
well
as
from
the
bottom.
If
creosote
has
accumulated
it
should
be
removed
to
reduce
the
risk
of
a
chimney
fire.
The
creosote
should
be
removed
with
a
brush
specifically
designed
for
the
type
of
chimney
in
use.
A
qualified
chimney
sweep
can
perform
this
service.
NOTE:
For
insert
installations
it
will
be
necessary
to
remove
the
insert
for
proper
inspection
and
cleaning.
