13.2 Smoke detector

We highly recommend the use of a smoke detector. It must be installed at least 15 feet

(4.57 m) from the appliance in order to prevent undue triggering of the detector when

reloading.

13.3 Chimney fire

A Chimney fire will happen when the flame from an uncontrollable fire ignites the sooth

and creosote deposits in a neglected venting system. It will often happen when burning

cardboard, branches or small dry pieces of wood. The first signs of a chimney fire are:

1. A rumble.

2. Smoke pipe becomes extremely hot.

3. Sparks or even flames shoot out of the chimney

In the event of a chimney fire, first call your local fire department and water the roof

in the vicinity of the chimney.

Make sure that the furnace door and the air intake damper are closed (if need be, lower

the thermostat setting and CLOSE the barometric draft damper manually if one is

installed). Close also the switch on the control box.

In the event of uncontrollable fire (caused by wrongful operation or excessive chimney

draft), follow the same procedure as in a chimney fire but you must then OPEN the

barometric draft damper manually if one is installed.
