• Clean the flue regularly to prevent creosote accumulation.
• Never use chemicals or gasoline to start or maintain your fire.
• Never burn garbage, oil, trash, or gasoline in your furnace.
• Never leave the fuel door or ash drawer open during operation.
• Remove ashes on a daily basis, before ashes reach the grates, to ensure proper air flow.
• Never use wet, unseasoned wood or wood exposed to a recent rainfall. Doing so causes a rapid accumulation of hazardous
creosote, which is a proven cause of flue fires.
• Never burn plastics, wood products containing glue, or wood that has been treated with chemical preservatives in your
Fire Chief Furnace. The combustion of these substances may release harmful, toxic gases.
• NEVER UNPLUG THE FURNACE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. THIS WILL CAUSE THE FURNACE TO OVERHEAT. If it
is too warm in the house, lower the temperature on the thermostat; reduce the spin draft to allow less airflow into the firebox;
and/or use less fuel (wood or coal).
• Never leave the ash drawer or fuel door open in an attempt to regulate the fire. This will overheat the furnace and void
the warranty.
• Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
• Refer to nameplate on furnace for additional information.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE
• DO NOT operate with flue draft exceeding .08 water column inches (19.9 Pa).
• DO NOT store fuel or other combustible materials within marked installation clearances.
• Inspect and clean flues and chimney regularly.
• DO NOT operate your furnace with the fuel door or ash drawer open.
DANGER: Risk of Fire and Explosion. Do not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, engine oil, or other flammable liquids/inappropriate
materials.
