CB1200 FREESTANDING
E. Soot or Creosote Fire
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing
technique. Check daily for creosote build-up until
experience shows how often you need to clean to be
safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote is
deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in the
mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough
in the coldest months. Contact your local municipal or
provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a
chimney fire.
In the event of a soot or creosote fire, close the firebox
door, exit the building immediately and contact the
proper fire authorities.
DO NOT under any circumstances re-enter the building.
