WOOD HEATER SAFETY

SECTION IV

WOOD HEATER SAFETY

Certain safety hazards are inherent in any wood heater installation. You should be aware of these so that a safe and proper installation can be made.

1.FAULTY CHIMNEY: An older masonry chimney should be thoroughly checked to be sure there are no holes or weak spots which could allow sparks or hot gases to escape.

2.HEAT CONDUCTION: Placing combustible materials too close to a heater or chimney can be a fire hazard.

By keeping these particular hazards in mind as you install and use your room heater you can ensure a safe, reliable installation.

The connector and/or chimney should be inspected at least once a month during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. Any buildup of soot should be removed to prevent the risk of a chimney fire. To remove chimney or chimney connector, remove screws and/or fasteners. Remove pipe and clean with a steel wire brush. Replace chimney or chimney connector and replace screws and/or fasteners.

Manual background CAUTION: NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove when it is in use. All fluids of this type give off volatile fumes and can and WILL EXPLODE!! Don’t take a chance with the safety of your home and family.
