2 PART A - SAFETY RULES
2.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Make sure the chimney outlet and the pipes are clean and in good condition.
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR LIQUIDS TO LIGHT THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN WASTES OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE,
NAPHTHA, MOTOR OIL, OR OTHER UNSUITABLE MATTERS.
Do not install an automatic feeder on this furnace.
Do not store wood in the vicinity of the furnace. Respect the required
clearances between combustible materials and the source of heat.
WARNING
THE ASH DRAWER AND EXCHANGERS ACCESS PANEL GET VERY HOT.
DO NOT MANIPULATE WITH BARE HANDS.
2.2 ODOUR FROM THE PAINT
It is normal that smoke and odours emanate from the unit when you first light it.
It is recommended to burn it at high rate and ventilate the building until the
odours disappear. The smoke is not toxic.
2.3 ASH DISPOSAL
Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The container
should be stored outdoors, well away from combustible materials. This container
should not receive any other type of waste. If the ashes are meant to be buried in
soil, wait until all embers have thoroughly cooled before burying.
2.4 CREOSOTE BUILD-UP AND REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which,
when combined with moisture, form creosote. The creosote vapours condensate
in a relatively cool chimney flue. As a result, creosote residues accumulate
inside the flue lining and the exchangers.
N.B.: To minimize the frequency of chimney cleaning, it is strongly recommended
you buy your firewood at least one year before using it to let it dry properly. Store
your wood at least six month ahead in a place where it is exposed to sun and
open air but protected from precipitations. Then store it in a dry place in order to
obtain the minimum moisture rate and optimize the efficiency. Do not store wood
or combustible materials within the installation minimum clearances or the space
required to reload the appliance and remove ashes.
