the lighting operation, and during refuelling. Leaving the door open continuously could
seriously overheat the chimney and adjacent combustibles. Do not operate the stove if
there is an abnormal air leakage into the stove, such as through deteriorated gaskets or
cracked or broken glass. Do not operate the stove without a door gasket. Leakage can
result in overheating, or in very airtight homes, could possibly cause smoking into the
room. Smoke may contain carbon monoxide, which is poisonous, and in sufficient
quantities is a health hazard.

or trash in the unit. Highly flammable items such as trash may ignite creosote in the
chimney, resulting in a chimney fire. Never burn salt wood, beach wood, chemically
treated wood, or wood removed from salt water, since the deposits left will deteriorate the
firebox. Damage caused by chemicals or salt is not covered under warranty.

Seasoned dense wood is recommended. Wood should be air dried in a covered ventilated
area for six months to a year or more. This reduces the moisture content of the wood,
resulting in better stove performance. Wood species with moisture content of 20% or less
are ideal. Dry seasoned wood can be distinguished from green wood by the checks or
cracks in the ends.

4.
Wet or green wood will tend to cause the fire to smoulder, producing large amounts of
creosote. Creosote buildup could result in a chimney fire. This wood will also prove
difficult to keep burning properly, and fires will tend to go out. Green wood produces very
little heat, and sometimes causes customers to think that the stove does not work. If you
must burn wet wood, use only small amounts mixed with dry wood.

Decayed wood or low-density wood has very little energy content or heating value, and will
not burn satisfactorily for long periods of time.
