Failure to properly use and maintain this appliance may void the
manufacturer's warranty and could result in a house fire.
1.
Always keep the area around the unit clean and clear of furniture and other objects. Keep all furniture a minimum of 48
inches away from the heater.
2.
Periodically the entire unit, chimney connector, and chimney system must be inspected for leaks, broken or malfunction-
ing parts, and loose connections. If any problems are noted, contact your dealer for repair services. Do not operate the
unit until repairs have been completed.
INSPECT AND CLEAN CHIMNEY FREQUENTLY - UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS OF USE, CREOSOTE BUILDUP MAY OCCUR RAPIDLY.
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND THE NEED FOR REMOVAL.
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other vapors, which combine with moisture to form creosote.
Creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue, and creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote can make an extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if creosote buildup has occurred. If
creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the chance of a chimney fire.
HOW TO REMOVE CREOSOTE.
1.
Clean the chimney with brushes and equipment available at local fireplace shops.
2.
Chemical chimney cleaners are used by adding them to the fire, but they are not intended for use in chimneys already
containing heavy soot deposits. Rather, they are intended to inhibit soot buildup. They can be used in metal chimneys
provided the manufacturers instructions are strictly followed. Generally these commercial cleaners are quite effective.
3.
Call a professional chimney sweep in your area. They possess the experience and tools necessary to make the task
easy.
Maintenance other than the items specifically mentioned herein are to be performed by a qualified serviceman
only. Contact your dealer. For further information on using your heater safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire
