TIPS FOR BURNING

•Create a large fire to heat up the fireplace before adjusting to a slower burn.

•To create a large, quick burning fire, use small pieces of wood.

•For a lower, but extended burn, stack larger pieces of wood close together.

•For long burns, leave a 1-2" bed of ashes.

•Burn dry wood only.

•With the exception of overnight burns, create large, quick burning fires whenever possible. Smaller, slow burning fires, using large logs, cause the glass to become dirty. Larger, quick burning fires using medium sized wood to refuel frequently are much more efficient.

MAINTENANCE

RUN-AWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE

Run-away fires can be the result of FOUR major factors:

1.Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which would normally be used as kindling.

2.Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.

3.Improperly installed or worn gaskets.

SOLUTIONS:

1.Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper or cardboard.

2.Be careful not to overfire the unit by leaving the door open too long after the initial start-up.

3.Replace worn, dried out (inflexible) gaskets.

WHAT TO DO IF A RUN-AWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE STARTS:

1.Close the draft fully (lowest position).

2.Call the local fire department.

3.Examine the chimney, attic and roof of the house, to see if any part has become hot enough to catch fire. If neces- sary spray with a fire extinguisher or water from a garden hose.

4.Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the chimney has not been damaged.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND SMOKE

DETECTORS

All homes with a solid fuel burning fireplace should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location, known to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the fireplace. If it sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the smoke detector.

GLASS & GASKET REPLACEMENT

At the end of each burning season inspect the door gasket ensuring that it is not worn or loose. Replace with proper fibreglass rope. The purpose of door gasketing is to seal the firebox. If the doors are not sealed, air leaks into the firebox, creating a quick burning fire. This situation is not desireable for overnight or extended burns.

Replace cracked or broken glass immediately. When re- installing the glass, be sure that the glass and gasket create a solid seal around door frame. Follow the instruc- tions below for glass removal. You many require a flat tool to gently press the gasket between the glass and the door. WARNING: Make sure that the glass and gasket are fully installed down into the glass retainer. If the glass protrudes too far out of the retainer, the glass will shatter when the door is closed.
