Safety Precautions
CEILING/ROOF
MUST
• Allow the stove to cool before performing any
maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed
in a steel container with a tight fitting lid, and moved
outside immediately. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a non-combustible surface
or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal.
• Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove
unless instructions for doing so are given in this
manual. All other work should be done by a trained
technician.
• The exhaust system should be checked monthly
during the burning season for any build-up of soot
or creosote.
• Use of outside air is required for Canadian installations
on this unit, and may be used for tightly constructed
homes in the USA.
• Do not operate your stove with the viewing door
open. A safety concern may arise from sparks or
fumes entering the room.
• Never block free airflow through the open vents of
the unit.
• Keep foreign objects out of the fuel chamber.
• This appliance is not intended for commercial use.
• Not intended for primary heat source.
• CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) HAZARD. A buildup of CO
fumes is toxic and can be fatal. Carbon Monoxide is a
colorless, odorless gas produced during combustion
of wood, coal, oil, gas and by other fuel burning
appliances. It is important to have a proper draft
and adequate replacement air ventilation so fumes
are drawn out the chimney. Installed as instructed
this stove is designed to be as safe as possible yet
it is recommended to install a CO detector. Follow
the manufacturer's recommendations for proper
installation and use. It is recommended to be
placed at table-top level (not near the ceiling) to
BE
avoid false alarms. Realize that devices other than
a stove (i.e. motor exhaust) can trigger CO alarms.
• If alarm sounds:
• Recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning
(headaches, nausea & drowsiness).
• Increase ventilation (open windows & doors).
• Make sure stove doors and/or lids are closed and
secured.
• Check stove for smoking or puffing (open airflow
controls).
• Check chimney & connector pipe for leaks,
blockage or down-draft conditions.
• Check CO device for false alarm.
