intake systems for obstructions. Try all controls to see that they are working prior to lighting a
fire.
1.
Disposal of Ashes.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
2.
Never use Gasoline,
gasoline type lantern fluid. Kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar
liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the
heater while it is in use.
3.
Creosote, Soot and Fly Ash:
Formation and Need for Removal. The products of combustion
will contain small particles of Fly Ash. The fly ash will collect in the venting system and restrict
the flow of flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during start-up and shut-down, or
incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot or creosote formation which will
collect in the venting system. The exhaust system should be inspected regularly during the
heating season to determine if creosote buildup has occurred. Check more frequently at first to
determine a schedule for cleaning the venting system based on individual use of this Stove. If
creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
4.
