Additional Canadian Operation Requirements.
1.
Store Corn/Pellets in sealed containers in a dry environment to prevent the fuel from
absorbing moisture and becoming damaged.
2.
Creosote formation and Cleaning.
a. Establish a routine for the storage of fuel, care of the Furnace and Firing
Techniques.
b. Check Daily for Creosote build-up until experience shows how often cleaning is
necessary.
c. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited, and that weekly
cleaning may be necessary in mild weather, even though monthly cleaning may
be enough in the coldest months. Run the furnace on the hottest setting once a day
for 30 – 45 minutes to prevent excessive build-up in the furnace.
d. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire. Contact the local fire
department for information if needed.
e. Keep the doors closed and all seals in good condition while operating the furnace.
f. INSPECT THE FLUE PIPES, JOINTS AND SEALS REGULARLY TO
ENSURE THAT SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWN INTO,
AND CIRCULATED BY THE AIR-CIRCULATION SYSTEM.
g. CLEANING OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER, FLUE PIPE, CHIMNEY AND
DRAFT INDUCER IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END OF THE
HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE SUMMER
MONTHS CAUSED BY ACCUMULATED ASH.
h. Do Not Use Chemicals or Fluids to Start The Fire.
