General Information—Safety
13. Provide for adequate fresh air supply in the room while the stove is in operation.
14. Do not leave the house unattended for long periods of time when the stove is in operation.
15. Make sure pipe connections cannot accidentally come apart by using sheet metal screws to secure
pipe connections.
16. Clean your chimney and associated components regularly. Do not allow excessive build-up of ashes
in the stove, or allow ashes to spill from the stove when the door is opened.
17. Check masonry chimneys for cracks which may allow back-puffing and fumes to re-enter the house.
Inspect for excessive creosote build-up frequently.
18. Have your stove installation safety inspected before you build a fire in it the first time.
19. If you cook on your stove top, have a proper fire extinguisher close at hand to extinguish grease fires.
Never use water to control a grease fire. Also be careful to keep handles on pots and pans from
extending beyond the stove where they may be accidentally knocked over.
20. Install a smoke detection alarm system, and a CO (carbon monoxide) detector in your home. Smoke
detectors should not be installed in front of the stove as small spills of smoke may set them off.
21. Every home should have a fire extinguisher. Consult local fire officials or an authorized fire
extinguisher company for proper equipment. Ensure all residents know its location and how to use it.

Association publication, "Using Coal and Wood stoves Safely", NFPA Number HS-6-1974. The
address of the NFPA is: 470 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, MA 02210.
