B. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

1.Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.

2.A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher.

3.A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.

4.In the event of a chimney fire:

a.Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation

b.Notify fire department

C. Overfiring

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

Do not over-fire.

Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and chimney.

To prevent over-firing your stove, DO NOT:

Use flammable liquids

Overload with wood

Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber

Permit too much air to the fire

1.Symptoms of Over-Firing

Symptoms of over-firing may include one or more of the following:

Chimney connector or appliance glowing

Roaring, rumbling noises

Loud cracking or banging sounds

Metal warping

Chimney fire

2.What To Do if Your Stove is Over-Firing

Immediately close the door and air controls to reduce air supply to the fire.

If you suspect a chimney fire, call the fire department and evacuate your house.

Contact your local chimney professional and have your stove and stove pipe inspected for any damage.

Do not use your stove until the chimney professional informs you it is safe to do so.

Hearth & Home Technologies WILL NOT warranty stoves that exhibit evidence of over-firing. Evidence of over-firing includes, but is not limited to:

Warped air tube

Deteriorated refractory brick retainers

Deteriorated baffle and other interior components

D. Combustible/Non-combustible Materials

Combustible Material

Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or any material capable of igniting and burning, whether flame-proofed or not, plastered or unplastered.

Non-combustible Material

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.

Non-combustible Sealant Material

Sealants which will not ignite and burn: Rutland, Inc. Fireplace Mortar #63, Rutland 76R, Nuflex 304, GE RTV106 or GE RTB116 (or equivalent).

E.Seasoned Wood

Burn only dry seasoned wood.

Store wood under cover, out of the rain and snow.

Dry and well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the chance of creosote formation, but will give you the most efficient fire.

Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight, and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot for as long as it takes to dry the wood out - about one hour.

It is a waste of energy to burn unseasoned wood of any kind.

Dead wood lying on the forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time.

Standing dead wood can be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned.

To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check the ends of the logs.

If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center, it is dry.

If your wood sizzles in the fire, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured.

F. Chimney Fire

WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney fire can permanently damage your chimney system and nearby structures.

In the event of a chimney fire, Hearth & Home Technolo- gies Inc. recommends

Replacement of the chimney, and

Inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of NFPA Level III inspection criteria
