DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will contain
small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the
flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or
incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation that will collect in the
exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least twice every
year to determine if cleaning is necessary.
NEVER USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS FOR ANY PURPOSE ON THIS APPLIANCE.
Establish a routine for fuel and firing technique. Check for creosote build-up daily until you
know how often to clean the appliance for safe operation. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the
less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even
though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest months. Contact your municipal or
provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly
understood plan in place for how to handle a chimney fire.
Do not burn this heater if unburned pellets are in the ashpan. These should be removed as they
may ignite.
Smoke and CO Detectors: Make sure your home has a working smoke detector, especially near any bedrooms. We
recommend having a smoke and/or CO detector in the same room as the wood heater for additional safety.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or oil-fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such fuels,
contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
