Creosote deposits are more apt to occur during mild weather when the draft damper is closed, and the wood just sits
in the furnace excreting creosote that does not burn.
During mild weather when little heat is required feed only enough dry wood to last four to six hours.
SUMMER CARE
After your last fire of the season, remove the ashes from your heater and clean it thoroughly inside and out.
Handy Hints
Using cotton gloves when tending the heater will keep your hands clean and prevent any small burns.
Place an open newspaper on the floor in front of the heater when adding fuel to protect the floor covering.
Smoke discharged into the room when the fuel charging door is opened usually indicates that the previous
charge has not completely charred or that there is insufficient draft in the chimney.
If your heater is attached to a good chimney with adequate draft and is operated according to our instructions you
should have years of trouble free comfort.
If, however, you do experience any trouble contact your Valley Comfort dealer. They will need to know the kind
of wood you've been burning, the average size of pieces, the type, condition and size of the flue and whether it is
tile lined. Sketch the heater and flue pipe hook-up to the chimney.
NOTE: The flue products can contain carbon
monoxide, particularly where the wood fire is being
starved for air (made to burn at a slower rate) through
closing the damper too tightly.
