Preventing a Chimney Fire
There are three things you can do to prevent chimney fires:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney fire is possible.
2. Do not have fires in the heater that may ignite chimney fires. These are very hot fires, such as when burn-
ing household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood; (e.g.. with a full load on
a hot bed of coals and with the air control open for long period of time.)
3. Regular inspections and cleaning.
CAUTION:
Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to
start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
CAUTION:
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY wood heater is designed for many years of trouble free operation. Over firing the
appliance will shorten the life of the product. Failure to rectify an over firing condition can be hazardous and
may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when
burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the fire
to smoulder and produce large amounts of smoke and creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and
tends to go out often. Wood should be stored under cover away from open flame or heat sources.
