OPERATING THE WCT6840WS
FIREPLACE
Fuel - USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL
ONLY.
The WCT6840WS fireplace is designed
to work best when fueled with dry seasoned
natural wood only. Hardwoods are preferred to
softwoods since the energy content of wood is
relative to its density. Hardwoods will result in a
longer burning fire and less frequent refueling.
A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned)
is recommended. Wood that has been cut and
split and let to dry under a cover for a period
of one year will usually meet that criteria. The
required drying time will vary depending on the
climate. Wood that is packed tight together will
take longer to dry. Seasoned wood is darker in
color than wet wood and will have visible cracks
in the grain on the ends. Excessively wet wood
will be difficult to burn and will result in lower
efficiency, increased creosoting and deposits
on the glass and in the chimney. Excessively
dry wood will burn well but will also have higher
emissions and shorter burning time.
Do not burn scrap or garbage, treated wood or
wood such as driftwood from the ocean which
has been exposed to salt or other chemicals.
Salt or chemicals can corrode the firebox and
chimney. Do not burn large amounts of paper,
cardboard, Christmas tree branches or building
construction materials. Intense firing with these
materials may overheat the fireplace, causing
damage to the unit, a fire or even possibly ignit-
ing a chimney fire if the chimney is creosoted.
Burning unapproved fuel, resulting in excessive
pollutants being emitted, may be prohibited and
subject to a fine or other penalty by the authority
having jurisdiction in your area.
Processed firelogs can be used. Use only fire-
logs that have been evaluated for the application
of fireplace and refer to firelog warnings and
caution markings on packaging prior to use.
