A. Negative pressure in the house - As the 

fire burns, air goes up the chimney.  This 

air must be replaced through leakage into 

the house or through the outside air duct.  

When operating the fireplace, open a nearby 

window temporarily to check if there is 

adequate replacement air supply.

B.  Fans operating (e.g.: range hood) - These 

fans draw air out of the house and may 

actually cause a negative pressure in the 

house.  Turn off all fans and open a nearby 

window to determine if this is the cause of 

the problem.

C.  Wet wood - Wet or tarred wood will smoulder 

and smoke instead of burn properly. Your 

dealer can help you determine if you have 

properly seasoned wood for burning.

D.  Dirty or blocked chimney - Check to make 

sure the chimney is clear and clean. If dirty 

call a certified chimney sweep or use a 

properly sized chimney brush to clean.

E.  Chimney not long enough - The minimum 

chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m) 

not including the fireplace height.  The 

chimney must extend at least three (3) feet 

(915 mm) above its point of contact with 

the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) 

higher than any roof or wall within ten (10) 

feet (3 m) of it.  When installed with offsets, 

the minimum chimney height is fifteen (15) 

feet (4.6 m).  Additional height will increase 

draft and will decrease the tendency to 

smoke.

F.  Poor chimney draft - With no fire, there 

should be sufficient draft to exhaust cigarette 

smoke introduced under the baffle.  Chimneys 

installed against an outside wall without 

protection may generate back draft problems 

which will cause start-up problems. To prevent 

this, open a nearby window, roll up a piece of 

paper and light it.  Then, hold it in the upper 

part of the firebox to warm up the chimney.  

Wait until the draft is sufficient, then start the 

fire.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

A.   Do not block the hot air vents to the fire-

place as this will cause the fireplace to 

overheat.

B.   Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern 

fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or 

similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire 

in this fireplace.  Keep all such liquids well 

away from the fireplace while it is in use.

C.   Do not burn coal.  The sulphur in coal will 

corrode the firebox and chimney.

D.   Keep combustible materials at least 48” 

(1.2 m) away from the front of the fireplace 

opening.

E.   Never leave children unattended when 

there is a fire burning in the fireplace.

F.   Do not use the fireplace as an incinerator 

to burn paper, cardboard or construction 

material such as pressed wood, plywood 

or lumber. Use only untreated wood. Wood 

protectors, metallic paper, coal, plastic, 

waste, beach wood, Christmas tree,  sul-

phur and/or oil will damage the fireplace.

G. Do not burn driftwood which has been in the 

ocean or salt water.  The salt will corrode 

the firebox and chimney.

H. Do not burn wood in the area in front of the 

grate.

I.  Do not allow the wood to smoulder or burn 

without flame, since this will produce 

excessive creosote in the unit as well as 

increased particulate emissions.

J. Blower for forced air kit operating  - Make 

sure that the blower is at the “off” position 

when you open the fireplace door for reloading.

Smoke Detectors Recommended

Since there are always several potential sources 

of fire in any home, we recommend installing 

smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke 

detector in a hallway adjacent to the room 

(to reduce the possibility of occasional false 

activation from the heat produced by these 

appliances). If your local code requires a smoke 

detector be installed within the same room, you 

must follow the requirements of your local code. 

Check with your local building department for 

requirements in your area.

Carbon Monoxide Monitor Recommended

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of 

carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu 

with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you 

have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. 

Some people are more affected by carbon mon-

oxide than others, including pregnant women, 

people with heart or lung disease or anemia, 

those under the influence of alcohol, and those 

at high altitudes.

It is against federal regulations to operate 

wood heaters in a manner inconsistent with 

operating instructions in the manual.

MAINTAINING YOUR FIREPLACE

Have your product inspected at least once 

a year by a qualified service technician to 

ensure gaskets, air tubes, baffles, and vent-

ing are in good repair to ensure proper per-

formance.   Have degraded items replaced 

by a qualified service technician.

This wood heater needs periodic inspection 

and repair for proper operation. Consult the 

owner’s manual for further information. It is 

against federal regulations to operate this 

wood heater in a manner inconsistent with 

the operating in this manual.

Creosote -  Formation and Need for Removal

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar 

and other organic vapors, which combine 

with expelled moisture to form creosote.  The 

creosote vapors condense in the relatively 

cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire.  As 

a result, creosote residue accumulates on the 

flue lining.  When ignited this creosote makes 

an extremely hot fire.

The chimney shall be inspected at least twice 

a year during the heating season to determine 

when a creosote buildup has occurred. 

When creosote has accumulated it shall be 

removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

When the creosote accumulation is large, a 

creosote fire in the chimney can damage the 

chimney and overheat the surrounding wood 

framing.  Creosote formation in a chimney can 

be minimized by making sure there is always 

visible flame burning, avoid smouldering fires 

and by proper refuelling techniques.

Chimney Maintenance

Regular chimney inspection and maintenance 

combined with proper operation will prevent 

chimney fires. Keep your chimney clean.  Do not 

allow more than 1/16” (1.6 mm) creosote build 

up in your chimney.  The amount of creosote 

will depend on variables such as frequency of 

use and type of fire.  We recommend that you:

A.  Initially inspect the chimney system weekly.  

From this, you will learn how often it will be 

necessary to clean your chimney.

B. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified 

chimney sweep.  If you wish to clean it 

yourself, we recommend using a stiff plastic 

or non-metallic brush.  If a metal brush is 

used, its size should be slightly smaller than 

the flue to avoid damaging the chimney.  Do 

not use a brush that will scratch the stainless 

steel interior of the chimney.

C. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep 

your chimney clean.  The rain cap can be 

removed for inspection and/or cleaning of 

the chimney. 

Caution: It is necessary to remove the baffle 

from the top of the firebox before cleaning the 

chimney. See “Top Baffle Removal Prior To 

Chimney Sweep.”

Dealing With a Chimney Fire

Regular chimney maintenance and inspection 

can prevent chimney fires.  If you have a chimney 

fire, follow these steps:

1.  Close the fireplace door and the combustion 

air controls.

2. Alert your family of the possible danger.

3. If you require assistance, alert your fire 

department.

4. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extin-

guisher, baking soda or sand to control the 

fire.  Do not use water as it may cause a 

dangerous steam explosion.

5.  Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot 

embers coming out of the chimney are not 

igniting the roof.

6. Do not use the fireplace again until your 

chimney and fireplace have been inspected 

by a qualified chimney sweep or a Fire 

Department Inspector.
