gases
in
the
room.
Provide
a
source
oi
fresh
air into
room.
Poisonous
gases
can come
out
irrto
the room
if
ior example the
ventilation
system
creates a lou/
pressure in
the
room
where the heater
is
pla.:ed.
Make sure that sparks
and embers

healer
can

frequently.
Creosote
-
Formation
and Need for
Rernoval.
When wood or coal
is
burned
slowly.
it
prociuces
tar
and
ot'rer orginic
vapors,
which. combine
v,/ith ex'
pelled
moisture to
f
or'm creosote.
The
creosote
vapors condense
in the
relatively cool chimney
f lue
of
a slowburning
fire. As a result,
creosote
residue
accumulates
on the
flue Iining. When
ignited this
creosote
makes an
extremely
hot
fire. The risk ol
creosote
formation
is
larger with wood than
vrith coal.
The chimney connector
and
chimney should
be
inspected
al
least twice mouthly
during
the heating
season lo
determine
it a
creosote
buildup
has
occurred.
lf creosote
has accumulated
it
should
be
removed
to
reduce the
risk
of
a chimney
f ire.
2.10.
Utiiize
coal and
wocd as
the
only
fuels, and
never
liquid
fuels.
Liquid
fuel utilized
in a
