CREOSOTE INFORMATION

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form 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. The chimney should be inspected monthly during the heating season to determine if a creo-
sote buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (1/8" (3 mm) or more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire.
Inspection can be accomplished from the top of the chimney cap or from inside the stove by removing the upper firebrick. We recommend a
professional chimney cleaner inspect and clean the chimney at least once annually.

GLASS INFORMATION

Clean glass on a regular basis. Should glass become discolored with creosote, follow this procedure for easy removal. Burn fireplace with the
outside air damper completely open for 30-45 minutes. This will normally clean the glass and also minimize ashes in the firebox.
Oven cleaner or a cleaner specifically designed for fireplace may also be used. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. Clean only when glass is
cooled.
Do not slam doors. This may cause glass damage.
In the event of glass breakage, let fireplace cool completely. DO NOT USE THIS FIREPLACE WITH BROKEN OR CRACKED GLASS.
Replace only with Kozy Heat part #150380 for Model #Z-42 and part #150250 for Model Z-42-CD. Do not substitute materials.
