NOTICE
The
GRIZZLY Furnace
was designed to operate safely when the doors closed and
burning only firewood. Any change, modification or unauthorized installation will
automatically cancel the certification of the appliance, the guarantee and the
homologation, and in addition, the appliance might become dangerous.
During the first hours of operation, you must heat it gradually. In order to allow an
appropriate baking of the paint and to facilitate its adhesion to metal, do not heat the
appliance with a strong fire. It will also avoid thermal shock which could lift up the paint
or get the colour fade.
Make sure that the room is ventilated enough in order to eliminate odour and smoke
coming from the paint during the first hours of utilization. It is normal that a light smoke is
released from the paint during the first hours of use.
Although this unpleasantness is merely temporary, open the windows and the doors in
order to ensure good ventilation. This special paint is conceived to tolerate temperatures
until 1200°F (650°C).
C
REOSOTE
The wood burning slowly produces tar and other organic steams, which forms a whole
substance
called “creosote”. The steam gets condensed in the cool chimney when the
wood is burning slowly. In this way, creosote residues are formed on the walls. Creosote
can take several forms: tarry liquid, soot dust or deposits in crystal form. When in fire,
the creosote releases a very strong heat and can be the cause of a chimney fire.
- Do not knock the glass or close the doors violently.
- Do not use the appliance when the glass is broken or damaged.
- Do not build the fire too close to the glasses.
- Keep the door closed when using the appliance.
