TLC 2000 Coal Stove
5
WARNINGS
(Never sleep in the same room with any coal burning stove.)
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness
Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a color-
less, odorless gas that is produced during combustion
of coal and other fuels.
CO fumes are toxic and can
be fatal.
The TLC 2000 is a natural draft system which
relies on a properly designed chimney to remove CO
and other combustion by-products from the stove.
Even though this stove is designed to be as safe
as possible, it is important that you
install a CO detec-
tor.
This is true for oil, gas, or wood as well.
CO is not specifically heavier or lighter than
air. Therefore, it is best to install the detector at table
top level rather than on the ceiling like a smoke de-
tector.
CO detectors are very sensitive and may
sound an alarm for fumes other than CO or CO
from sources other than the stove such as car or
lawn mower exhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1. Increase ventilation by opening windows or
doors.
2. Make sure the stove doors are closed and
latched.
3. Check stove for normal operation.
4. Check for false alarm.
5. Have all occupants exit the building until
the cause for the alarm is discovered and/or
remedied.
