1. If you plan to use an existing chimney with your stove,
inspect it thoroughly to be sure it is sound and clean.
Advise your insurance company to be sure your policy
covers the use of a wood stove.
2. Be sure that firewood, furniture or other combustible
materials are stored a safe distance from the stove.
3. Use smoke detectors near the stove as well as other
areas of the home.
4. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START
OR “FRESHEN UP” THE FIRE.
5. Periodically inspect the chimney for deterioration and
creosote buildup. Clean it regularly to reduce the
chances of a chimney fire.
6. Keep a fire extinguisher rated for class A fires near the
stove. The dry chemical type of extinguisher is
recommended, as liquid types can cause problems if
sprayed onto a hot stove. BE SURE EVERY MEMBER
OF THE FAMILY KNOWS WHERE THE
EXTINGUISHER IS AND HOW TO USE IT!
7. Use of a chimney cap with an approved spark arrestor
is recommended.
8. Use caution when loading or working around the
stove to prevent burns.
9. Make sure the ash pan drawer is closed when the
stove is in operation.
