7. PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRE: Inspect and clean
chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of
use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly. In-
spect chimney connector and chimney twice

kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liq-
uids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater.
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater
while it is in use.
10. DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney con-
nector glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this
appliance could cause a house fire. Overfiring is
a condition where the appliance is operated at
temperatures above its design capabilities.
Overfiring can be caused by improper installa-
tion, improper operation, lack of maintenance or
improper fuel usage. Damage caused from over-
firing is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s
limited warranty.
11.
NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED STOVE
BURNING ON HIGH. Operation of the stove with
the primary air control at its highest burn rate
setting for extended periods can cause danger-
ous overfiring conditions. The primary air con-
trol should only be positioned at the highest
setting during start-up procedures and for short
durations. When leaving the stove unattended
ensure that the primary air control is set to the
low or medium low range.
12. Use a metal container with a tight fitting lid to
dispose of ashes.
13. IN THE EVENT OF A COMPONENT FAILURE,
USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS.
14. Burning any kind of fuel uses oxygen from the
dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate
source of fresh air into the room where the
stove is operating (see
Ventilation
and
Outside
Air
on page 6).
15. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An ap-
pliance hot enough to warm your home can se-
verely burn anyone touching it. Keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause
skin burns. Do not let children touch the appli-
ance. Train them to stay a safe distance from
the unit.
