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

•

  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.

•

 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.

 Materials  that  are  reported  as  passing ASTM  E  136,

Standard  Test  Method  for  Behavior  of  Materials  in  a
Vertical Tube  Furnance  at  750

o

C  and  UL763  shall  be

considered non-combustible materials.

•

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).

 

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.  

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

•  Use of processed solid fuel fire logs

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

 •  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 appliance and stove pipe inspected for any dam-

age.

 •  Do not use your appliance until the chimney profes-

sional informs you it is safe to do so.

Hearth & Home Technologies WILL NOT warranty appli-

ances 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
