ASSEMBLY OF DOOR HANDLE The door handle should be assembled as shown in the diagram below. OPERATING YOUR HEATER Before firing your new Valley Comfort heater - spread an inch of sand or ashes over the floor of the combustion chamber.

USING THE PROPER FUEL A dry seasoned hardwood will produce the greatest amount of heat and the least amount of creosote. Using green wood results in heat loss due to the evaporation of the excess moisture content. This decreases efficiency and can cause a creosote build-up. Check your flue pipes and chimney periodically during the heating season and clean them if necessary.

CREOSOTE Creosote can be a problem with any type of wood burning equipment so it is important to know what it is and how to avoid it. Creosote is an oily or tarry liquid resulting from the distillation of wood during the process of combustion. It is present in the gases given off all types of burning wood, and in its solid and semi-liquid state is highly combustible.

SUMMER CARE After your last fire of the season, remove the ashes from your heater and clean it thoroughly inside and out. Handy Hints Using cotton gloves when tending the heater will keep your hands clean and prevent any small burns. Place an open newspaper on the floor in front of the heater to protect the floor covering when adding fuel.
