WARNING
!
• Do not start a fi re with chemicals or fl uids such as gasoline, engine oil, etc.
• Your appliance requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to maintain your appliance may lead to smoke
spillage in your home.
• Ashes must be disposed in a metal container with a tight lid and placed on a non-combustible surface well
away from the home or structure until completely cool.
• Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a mantel or shelves above the appliance.
Elevated temperatures on the wall or in the air above the appliance can cause melting, discolouration or damage
to decorations, a T.V. or other electronic components.
For wood appliances:
• Lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods
or too green or freshly cut hardwoods. Burning wet unseasoned wood can cause excessive creosote
accumulation. When this is ignited it can cause a chimney fi re that may result in a serious house fi re.
• This appliance is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not burn trash or garbage, lawn clippings /
waste, rubber, waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners / solvents, plastic, materials containing
asbestos, construction debris, railroad ties or treated wood, manure or animal remains, salt water driftwood
or salted materials, unseasoned wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper, gift wrapping, cardboard, plywood or
particleboard. Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the appliance ineffective
and cause smoke.
• Burn wood directly on the fi rebricks. Do not elevate grate or otherwise raise the fi re.
• Do not store wood within appliance installation clearances or within the space required for re-fueling and
ash removal.
• If equipped, the catalyst must be installed and in good working order. It is recommended that the catalyst
is inspected at least three times per heating season.
