6.3.3 SMOKING
A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:
• Has the chimney had time to get hot?
• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or
chimney?
• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with
a window partly open.
• Is the smoke flow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?
• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney,
too large a diameter of a chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close
to trees or a higher roof?
• Has a direct flue connection been used rather than a chimney liner continuous
from cap to appliance flue collar.
7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING
APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED. DO
NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
Check your chimney and chimney connector for creosote and soot buildup weekly
until a safe frequency for cleaning is established.
If accumulation is excessive, disconnect the appliance and clean both the chimney and
the appliance. You may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both
have to be cleaned at least once a year or as often as necessary.
Remove fire baffles and clean above them once a year. Replace any broken bricks.
6.3.1 FLASH FIRE
A flash fire is a small fire burned quickly when you don’t need much heat.
After your kindling has “caught”, load at least 3 pieces of wood, stacked
loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open if adjustable or open the door
upward with 1.5 inches for 3 minutes if required.
6.3.2 EXTENDED FIRE
Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough to
prevent the flames from penetrating it completely.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE!
OVERFIRING CAN OCCUR BY:
A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps,
skids or treated wood.
B. Operating the appliance with a poor gasket seal on the main door.
C. Overfilling your appliance. Go by the following specifications:
