To Avoid a Chimney Fire

1. Burn wood cleanly. Do not burn wet wood or turn down the unit too quickly after loading.
2. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney fire is possible.
3. Do not have fires in the heater that may ignite chimney fires. These are excessively hot fires, such as when
burning household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood; (eg. with a full load
on a hot bed of coals and with the air inlet wide open for more time than is needed to completely char a
fresh fuel load.)
4. The Chimney and connector pipe should be inspected /cleaned periodically.

In Case of a Chimney Fire

1. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone's safety. Have a well understood plan of action for evacuation.
Have a place outside where everyone is to meet.
2. Close air inlet on stove.
3. Call local fire department. Have a fire extinguisher handy. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire
authority for further information on how to handle a chimney fire. It is most important that you have a
clearly understood plan on how to handle a chimney fire.
4. After the chimney fire is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks before
starting another fire. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.
• We recommend the services of professionals who are certified by a "Qualified agency"; such as
NFI (National Fireplace Institute®) in the United States,
CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) in the United States and Canada,
WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) in Canada or
APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage) in Quebec

Curing of the Paint Finish

To achieve the best finish, the paint on your stove must be baked on. When burning your stove for the first
2-3 times it is very important that the room be well ventilated. Open all windows and doors. Smoke and fumes
caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.

Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in this
container.
