PERIODIC CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
Empty ashes from the firebox, sooner if the
firebox is full.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
Depending upon your use of the stove, visually
inspect the chimney connector and chimney for
creosote.
Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." -
When the stove is cool, shut the door on a dollar
bill. If the bill pulls out without any resistance,
then your stove’s door is not sealing properly. To
tighten the seal, adjust the door latch mechanism
or change the door gasket.
At the End of Every Season:
Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it
thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs
of rust or deterioration.
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
Clean out the inside of the stove thoroughly.
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow these
instructions:
1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and
call the fire department immediately! If not,
perform the next three steps.
2. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
3. Keep the stove front door closed!
WARNING : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A
STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING
WATER ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR
CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURE OF SUCH FIRES CAN CAUSE
INSTANTANEOUS STEAM AND SERIOUS BODILY
HARM.
Once the chimney fire expires, let the fire in the stove
die out completely. Inspect the stove, stovepipe, and
chimney thoroughly for any sign of damage before
firing the stove again. You must correct any damage
before using your stove again.
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and
firing technique. Check daily for creosote build-up
until experience shows how often you need to clean
to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less
creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be
necessary in mild weather even though monthly
cleaning may be enough in the coldest months.
Contact your local municipal or provincial fire
authority for information on how to handle a chimney
fire. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a
chimney fire.
