Notice; Creosote - J. A. Roby ATF727 Owner's Manual

NOTICE

The Atmosphere furnace 727 was conceived to safely function the doors closed and only
when burning firewood. Any change, modification or unauthorized installation will
automatically cancel the certification of the appliance, its guarantee, its homologation and
the appliance might become dangerous.
During the first hours of operation, you must heat it gradually. In order to allow an
appropriate cooking of the paint and in order to facilitate its adhesion with metal, do not
heat the appliance with a strong fire. It will also avoid thermal shock which could lift up
the paint or make it whiten.
Make sure that the room is ventilated enough in order to eliminate the odours and the
smoke coming from the paint during the first hours of utilization. It is normal that a light
smoke is released from the paint during the first hours of use.
Even if this nuisance is temporary, open the windows and the doors in order to ensure a
good ventilation. This special paint is conceived to tolerate temperatures until 1200°F
(650°C).

REOSOTE
The wood burning slowly produces tar and other organic steams, which forms a whole
called "creosote". The steam condenses in the cool chimney when the wood is burning
slowly. In this way, creosote residues are formed on the walls. Creosote can take several
forms: tarry liquid, soot dust or deposits in crystal form. When in fire, the creosote
releases a very strong heat and can be the cause of a chimney fire.
- Do not knock on the glasses or violently close the doors.

- Do not build the fire too close of the glasses.
