Wood should not be stocked within the minimums clearances or in the necessary space
for loading and ash disposal. Always use dried wood. Do not burn green or wet wood.
Do not use construction debris such as pieces of 2x4, plywood.
If the appliance starts to turn red, it is too charged. Do not add fuel. Close the door and
the wall thermostat immediately in order to close all the air until everything becomes
normal again.
Do not load the appliance over the firebricks height.
Ash must be removed frequently, put in a steel container provided with a tight lid and
placed outside at once. You must never place other waste in this container.
Under certain circumstances, it needs additional air supply for combustion. Leave a
window or a door slightly open to balance the pressure in the house, especially if:
A fan already blows air towards outside (kitchen, bathroom).
You want to avoid a repression of smoke when lighting the appliance and when
reloading the wood.
It is recommended to have a smoke detector near the appliance.
You should contact your municipal or provincial fire department for the procedure
to follow in case of a chimney fire. Prepare an emergency plan.
In case of a chimney fire:
Close the door and the air intakes hermetically.
Water the combustible material adjacent to the chimney.
Ring the alarm, evacuate the house if necessary and call the firemen.
Never touch the pipes until the fire is completely extinct.
Do not use the chimney until it has been inspected or repaired.
Keep all the doors closed while the appliance is in function. Frequently verify the
ceramics cords; they must always be in good condition.
The chimney pipe should not be placed near water, gas or oil pipes, electric wire, other
types of ducts or combustible materials in the roofs, the attics, the walls or the floors. If
you have to make it pass through a wall or a part of combustible construction, do not
forget that the installation must be in accordance with the CAN/CSA-B365. Use at least
12 feet of 6 inch diameter vertical chimney.
NOTE: FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID FIRE HAZARDS,
WOUNDS AND PROPERTY DAMAGES.
