BURNING GREEN WOOD MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE
CREOSOTE BUILD-UP. IGNITION OF CREOSOTE
OR OVERFIRING COULD CAUSE A CHIMNEY
FIRE. CHIMNEY FIRES BURN EXTREMELY HOT
AND MAY IGNITE SURROUNDING COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS. IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY!
CREOSOTE & SOOT - FORMATION & NEED
FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, the products of combustion
combine with moisture to form a soot residue which
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this soot
makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be
inspected at least twice monthly during the heating
season to determine if a creosote or soot build up
has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it
should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the chimney catches fire,
immediately call the fire department, then reduce the fire
by closing the inlet air control. Pour a large quantity of
coarse salt, baking soda or cool ashes on top of the fire in
the firebox.
CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION CAUSES CHIMNEY
FIRES. YOU SHOULD CHECK (OR HAVE CHECKED BY
A QUALIFIED CHIMNEY SWEEP) YOUR CHIMNEY FOR
CREOSOTE DEPOSITS AT LEAST MONTHLY DURING
THE HEATING SEASON. ANY ACCUMULATIONS
SHOULD BE REMOVED. COMPLETE CHIMNEY
INSPECTIONS AND
CONDUCTED ANNUALLY; TYPICALLY, THIS TASK

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
TO PREVENT CREOSOTE BUILD UP
• Always burn dry wood. This allows clean burns and
higher chimney temperatures, therefore less creosote
deposit.
• Always check for creosote deposit once every two
months and have your chimney cleaned at least once
a year.
• If a chimney or creosote fire occurs, close all dampers
immediately. Wait for the fire to go out and the furnace
to cool, then inspect the chimney for damage. If no
damage results, perform a chimney cleaning to ensure
no more creosote deposits is remaining in the chimney.
A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNITION OF WALL
STUDS OR RAFTERS WHICH WERE ASSUMED TO
BE A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE CHIMNEY.
IF A CHIMNEY FIRE OCCURS, HAVE YOUR
CHIMNEY INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT
