necessary in mild weather or when burning "wet" or unseasoned wood.
10. Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation of the heater. Ensure they have enough
knowledge of the entire system if they are expected to operate it. Stress the section on chimney fires and
the importance of following the steps outlined "In Case of Chimney Fire".
