fl
ooring protection adequate to provide ember
protection around our oven.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Creosote-Formation and need for removal. When wood is
burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapors that
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in a relatively cool
fl
ue of a slow burning
fi
re.
As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the
fl
ue lining.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot
fi
re.
When grease or creosote have accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of
fi
re.
Do not use accessories not speci
fi
ed for use with this appliance.
Verify that the oven is properly installed before
fi
ring the oven
for the
fi
rst time. After reading these instructions, if you have any
doubt about your ability to complete your installation properly,
you must obtain the services of a professional licensed installer
familiar with all aspects of safe and correct installation. DO NOT
use temporary or makeshift compromised during installation.
There must be
NO DEVIATION OR ALTERATION OF ANY
KIND
from the very speci
fi
c instructions spelled out in this
instruction manual as it pertains to the installation of this wood
oven.
NO EXCEPTIONS
.
DO NOT ELEVATE THE OVEN BY ANY MEANS
(i.e.
bricks under legs, cement blocks). Oven must set directly
upon the solid-surface non-combustible
fl
oor as speci
fi
ed in
this manual.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS OVEN IN ANY WAY!
Assemble
only with original parts as supplied and shown in this manual.
DO NOT OPERATE AN OVEN THAT IS MISSING
PARTS!
If any parts are missing or defective, please notify the
dealer or manufacturer immediately. Replace missing, broken,
or worn parts with factory original or equivalent parts only.
Do not connect a wood burning appliance to an aluminum type B
gas vent. This is not safe. Use approved masonry or a UL listed
UL 103HT / ULC-S629 Residential Type and Building Heating
Appliance chimney. Use a 6”/152mm diameter chimney, that
is high enough to give a good draft. (See speci
fi
cations in the
VENTILATION section).
Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless
gas from poisoning you, your family or others.
Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache,
dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and
confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to
carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of
consciousness and death.
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or
fl
u-like symptoms
while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold
or
fl
ue, is often detected too late.
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during
pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood
or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.
