Do not use logs made from wax and sawdust in your wood stove – they are made for open
hearth fireplaces. If you use manufactured logs, choose those made from 100 percent
compressed sawdust.
Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smoldering fire is not a safe or efficient fire.
Keep the doors of your wood‐burning appliance closed unless loading or stoking the live
fire. Harmful chemicals, like carbon monoxide, can be released into your home.
Regularly remove ashes from your wood‐burning appliance into a metal container with a
cover. Store the container of ashes outdoors on a cement or brick slab (not on a wood
deck or near wood). See ash removal instructions in your owner's manual.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Remember to check your local air quality forecast before you burn.

More: Burner Tubes – To replace a tube, first be sure that you order the correct tube you need to
replace. Then using a 5/16" socket or open end wrench, remove the screw located on the left side
of the tube. Be sure to keep the screw. Push the tube to the right then remove the tube (pulling
the tube back to the left after that side has been removed from the hole). To replace, reverse the
above procedure...make sure to install the tubes in the correct order. (Front to Back)
