3. Burn with the spin draft control open for several minutes at numerous intervals throughout the day, being
careful not to over re the unit. Following this process will help to warm the chimney and reduce the amount
of creosote forming condensation within the chimney.
4. Establish a routine for the handling of fuel, ring, and operating the stove. Check daily for creosote build up
until experience shows how often you need to clean for safe operation. Be aware that the hotter the re,
the less creosote is deposited and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly
cleaning may be enough in the colder months
SOOT - FORMATION & NEED FOR REMOVAL
Additionally, coal combustion by-products like sulphur dioxide, sulphur trioxide and others can corrode stainless
steel and masonry chimneys. It is important to inspect and clean chimney on a regular schedule.
CHIMNEY INSPECTIONS
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at the beginning of and at least twice a month
during the heating season to determine if a creosote or soot build-up has occurred. Chimney res burn very hot.
If any part of the stove, chimney or chimney connector should glow red, reduce the re by closing the damper
and spin draft control and immediately call the re department.
A re in the stove may be smothered by pouring a large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda, or cool ashes on
top of the re.
STOVE JOINTS
Required Tune-up. This stove is manufactured with cast iron components. IT DOES NOT HAVE WELDED SEAMS.
Periodic “tune up” may be required by relling and/ or replacing the cement/joint mortar along the seams where
the cast iron components meet.
WARNING: In case of chimney re (1) close air inlet control and ue pipe damper. (2) Get out of the house (3)
call the re department.
CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE. When coal is burned, the products of combustion combine with moisture to form a
soot residue which accumulates in the ue lining. When ignited, this soot makes an extremely hot re. The
chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating
season to determine if a soot build-up has occurred. If soot has accumulated, it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney re.
CAUTION: A chimney re may cause ignition of wall studs or rafters which were assumed to be a safe
distance from the chimney. If a chimney re has occurred, have your chimney inspected by a qualied
expert before using again.
