  • Page 5: Fireplace Maintenance Creosote

    FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE REOSOTE When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

  • Page 6: Glass Cleaning

    Figure 1 LASS REPLACEMENT The glass used for the SECURE HE43-1 doors is a high temperature ceramic glass. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with a ceramic glass such as Neoceram. Tempered or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the SECURE HE43-1.

  • Page 7: Removal Of Ashes

    OPERATING THE SECURE HE43-1 The Secure HE43-1 is designed to work best when fueled with seasoned cordwood. Hardwoods are preferred to softwoods since the energy content of wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will result in a longer burning fire and less frequent refueling.

  • Page 14: Outside Air Installation

    UTSIDE AIR ASSEMBLY FIREPLACE AND CHIMNEY The outside air assemblies are mandatory for the fireplace and the AC chimney. During operation, the fireplace requires air for combustion and draws air out of the house. It may starve other fuel burning appliances such as gas or oil furnaces. As well, exhaust fans and fan driven appliances may compete for air, causing a negative pressure in the home, resulting in smoke entering the home from the fireplace.
