Creosote
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapours combine with moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapours 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 can
result in 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 creosote build
up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it
should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.
CAUTION: Things to remember in case
of a chimney fire:
1. Close all draft controls.
2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Ways to Prevent and Keep
Unit Free of Creosote
1. Burn stove with the draft control wide open
for about 10-15 minutes every morning during
burning season.
2. Burn stove with draft control wide open for
about 10 - 15 minutes every time you apply
fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve
the charcoal stage faster and burns up any
unburned gas vapours which might otherwise
be deposited within the system.
3. Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid burning kiln
dried, wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has
been dried at least one year.
4. A small hot fire is preferable to a large smoul -
dering one that can deposit creosote within the
system.
Wood Storage
Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or co-
vered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap
plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water
from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process.
Maintenance
It is very important to carefully maintain your
fireplace stove, including burning seasoned wood
and maintaining a clean stove and chimney system.
Have the chimney cleaned before the burning season
and as necessary during the season, as creosote
deposits may build up rapidly. Moving parts of your
stove require no lubrication.
5. The chimney and chimney connector should be
inspected at least once every two months during
the heating season to determine is a creosote
buildup has occurred.
6. Have chimney system and unit cleaned by
competent chimney sweeps twice a year
during the first year of use and at least
once a year thereafter or when a signifi -
cant layer of creosote has accumulated (3
mm / 1/8" or more) it should be removed
to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Note: Ensure the 3-prong plug is discon-
nected prior to servicing the fan.
As the sealed bearings are lubricated, there is
no need to lubricate them further. Extra lubricant
will cause more lint and dust buildup, causing the
bearings to fail prematurely.
Regular cleaning and vacuuming of the fan area
will prolong the life of the motor.
