TLC 2000 Coal Stove | 5 |
WARNINGS
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness
Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a color- less, odorless gas that is produced during combustion of coal and other fuels. CO fumes are toxic and can be fatal.
The TLC 2000 is a natural draft system which relies on a properly designed chimney to remove CO and other combustion
Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as possible, it is important that you install a CO detec- tor. This is true for oil, gas, or wood as well.
CO is not specifically heavier or lighter than air. Therefore, it is best to install the detector at table top level rather than on the ceiling like a smoke de- tector.
CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an alarm for fumes other than CO or CO from sources other than the stove such as car or lawn mower exhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1.Increase ventilation by opening windows or doors.
2.Make sure the stove doors are closed and latched.
3.Check stove for normal operation.
4.Check for false alarm.
5.Have all occupants exit the building until the cause for the alarm is discovered and/or remedied.
