36 <br /> 8.6 SMOKING <br /> A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does,check the following: <br /> EN • <br /> Has the chimney had time to get hot? <br /> • Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance,chimney connector or chimney? <br /> • Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside?Try with a window partly <br /> open. <br /> • Is the smoke flow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends? <br /> • Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney,a cold outside chimney,too large a diameter <br /> of a chimney,too short a chimney,or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof? <br /> • Is the moisture content of the wood greater than 20%? <br /> DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE! Overhang can occur by burning large amounts of smaller wood <br /> pieces or vigorously burning large loads of wood for long periods of time(one or two hours). <br /> 94.1 <br /> 8.7 RELOADING THE APPLIANCE <br /> BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION,WHICH <br /> WHEN IGNITED CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE. <br /> When refuelling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long appliance gloves when <br /> feeding the fire. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store wood <br /> within 4 feet(1.2m)of the appliance. <br /> Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the appliance. <br /> A. Move the air control to high. <br /> B. Open the door slightly.Allow the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully. <br /> 9.0 MAINTENANCE <br /> 9.1 ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES <br /> IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD <br /> BOXES,DUMP IN BACK YARDS,OR STORE IN GARAGES. <br /> IF USING A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP ASHES, BE SURE THE ASHES ARE ENTIRELY COOLED. USING A <br /> VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM. <br /> A bed of ashes approximately 1"(25mm)deep should be left on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed. <br /> When the fire has burned down and cooled,remove any excess ashes.To remove the ash,follow the directions below. <br /> A. After the last coal has extinguished, let the appliance cool at least <br /> two hours. <br /> B. Open the appliance doors. <br /> C. Scoop the ash from the firebox into a container with a lid.Cover A <br /> the container and move the container away from the appliance fit,•, <br /> onto a suitable surface to ensure the ashes cool. \ batiiii- 11 <br /> D. Dispose of the ashes. <br /> NOTE: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting <br /> lid.The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non- <br /> combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible <br /> materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of <br /> by burial or in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,they should be <br /> retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly <br /> cooled. <br /> W415-1642/04.15,16 <br />
