should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. After ashes have been removed
mop down hearth with clean damp cloths.
3.
Store wood in a cool, dry place well away from any source of flame or heat. If stored outside, keep the fuel covered
to protect from rain or snow. If stored inside, fuel should be kept in a covered metal container at least 6 inches
above the floor. Keep paper, rags and other easily ignited materials away from wood fuel. Refer to NFPA 96 for
wood storage procedures.
4.
At least at the end of each shift the area around the unit must be thoroughly cleaned of all wood, wood shavings,
embers, ashes and other refuse. All mats (if present, mats must be non-combustible) must be picked up and
carefully swept along with the floor during this clean up. After clean up around the unit, brooms should be
thoroughly wet down to extinguish hot coals, then stored well away from combustible materials.
5.
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 OVEN FLUE AND EXHAUST HOOD OF DUCT, PARTICULARLY A SLOW
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The oven flue, exhaust duct and power ventilator should be inspected at least twice monthly during normal use to
determine if creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote and/or grease has accumulated, it should be removed to
reduce the risk of fire. Experienced chimney and duct servicing personnel who are qualified in the removal of both
creosote and grease from flues and ducts should be contracted to do the inspection and cleaning. The inspection
and cleaning schedule must be adjusted as needed to prevent the buildup of creosote and/or grease. More
frequent inspections and cleanings are indicated when excessive buildup occurs between regular inspections.
The rate of accumulation can increase whenever 1) there is a change in the use of the oven 2) when the type or
moisture content of the firewood changes 3) when other variables change.
The oven, exhaust hood and grease filters should be cleaned on a daily basis. The Grease filters can be removed
and cleaned in a dishwasher or sink. Refer to the NFPA 96 requirements and the Exhaust Hood or Grease Duct
manufacturer's instructions for inspection, maintenance and cleaning of the venting system.
DO NOT CLEAN UNIT, HOOD OR VENT WHILE HOT OR WHILE OVEN IS BEING FIRED.
6.
The entire unit and vent system should be inspected frequently for proper fit, operation and soundness of parts.
If any malfunctioning parts, leakage, deterioration, or other problems are noted, contact your dealer to inspect and
repair the unit, or qualified ventilation repair service to inspect and repair the vent system. DO NOT OPERATE
THE UNIT IF INSTALLED OR FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY.
7.
All maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.
8.
Refer to NFPA 96 for procedures for inspection, cleaning and maintenance for solid fuel cooking.
