85.2
A CHIMNEY FIRE CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR CHIMNEY SYSTEM. THIS DAMAGE CAN
ONLY BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE DAMAGED COMPONENT PARTS. CHIMNEY FIRES ARE
NOT COVERED BY THE LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY.
CAUSES:
•
Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which would normally be used as kindling.
•
Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.
•
Improperly installed or worn gaskets.
•
Creosote build up in chimney.
SOLUTIONS:
•
Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper or cardboard.
•
Be careful not to overfi re the appliance by leaving the door open too long after the initial start-up. A
thermometer on the chimney connector and/or appliance top helps.
•
Replace worn, dried out (infl exible) gaskets.
•
Have chimney regularly cleaned.
IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE:
•
Have a well understood plan for evacuation and a place outside for everyone to meet. Prepare to
evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety.
•
Close air control on appliance.
• Call
local
fi re department. Have a fi re extinguisher handy. Contact local authorities for further informa-
tion on how to handle a chimney fi re.
•
After the chimney fi re is out, clean and inspect the chimney or chimney liner for stress and cracks prior
to lighting another fi re. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.
