Figure 7.1 General Operating Parts NOTICE: If you expect that children may come into contact with this appliance, we recommend a barrier such as a decorative screen. See your dealer for suggestions. Door Handle & Spring Handle Door Frame & Glass Hearth Pad Firebrick Burn Rate Air Control B. Fire Safety D. Combustible/Non-combustible Materials To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration: 1. Install at least one smoke detector on each fl oor 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 fi re 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 fi re department C. Overfiring WARNING! Risk of Fire! 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 fl ammable liquids • Overload with wood • Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber • Permit too much air to the fire 1. Symptoms of Over-Firing 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 2. What To Do if Your Stove is Over-Firing • Immediately close the door and air controls to reduce air supply to the fire. • If you suspect a chimney fire, call the fi re department and evacuate your house. • Contact your local chimney professional and have your stove and stove pipe inspected for any damage. • Do not use your stove until the chimney professional informs you it is safe to do so. Hearth & Home Technologies WILL NOT warranty stoves 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 • Combustible Material 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. • Non-combustible Material 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. • 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). E. Seasoned Wood 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. F. Chimney Fire WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney fire can permanently damage your chimney system and nearby structures. In the event of a chimney fire, Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends • Replacement of the chimney, and • Inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of NFPA Level III inspection criteria Heatilator • ECO-ADV-WS22 • 7057-128D • September 15, 2011 G. Burning Process In recent years there has been an increasing concern about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situation, we have developed cleaner- burning wood appliances that surpass the requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies. These wood appliances must be properly operated in order to ensure that they perform the way they are designed to perform. NOTICE: Improper operation can turn any wood appliance into a smoldering environmental hazard. 1.
