CAUTION

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS ON GOOD VENTING PRACTICE.

READ CAREFULLY.

1. Before the chimney cover is installed, your chimney should be inspected

to be sure your chimney has been constructed properly. It needs to be the

proper size and height for what you are venting to provide an adequate draft.

This inspection will determine whether or not the ue is in need of repair and

is clear of any obstructions. Bird, squirrel, or other animal nests, tree limbs,

leaves, fallen brick or tile lining all could cause hazardous conditions. The

vent pipe leading from the furnace to the chimney should also be thoroughly

checked for deterioration, blockage and/or soot accumulation. We recom-

mend that a Certied Chimney Sweep, Gas Company, or Furnace Company

perform this safety inspection.

2. When wood burning units are being vented, the chimney should be visually

checked as often as every few days. If the cover or screen appears to be sooty

or dirty, it follows that the inside of the ue is also dirty. A build-up inside the

chimney could cause a CHIMNEY FIRE. The cause of this build-up may be a

slow draft or the type of wood that is being burned. In this case, contact your

local Certied Chimney Sweep to inspect and clean the ue and suggest steps

to minimize further build-up in the future.

3. If you are venting a gas or oil furnace/heater, EXTREME CAUTION should

be taken when temperatures fall below freezing. Visually check the chimney

cover daily for possible frost, snow, freezing rain, or ice build-up. If drafting

properly, the heat from the escaping ue gases will prevent any frost build-up

on the cover. However, improper burner settings or conditions, obstructions

or restrictions that may develop in the furnace or the chimney, could cause

the escaping ue gases to cool down. The cooling of these gases could cause

a build-up of frost and ice on the cover. If this build-up condition occurs, call a

Furnace Company, Gas Company, or a Certied Chimney Sweep AT ONCE.

4. CARBON MONOXIDE BUILD-UP in the house, due to a blockage in the chim-

ney or an improperly functioning furnace/heater, MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS,

HEADACHES, AND/OR NAUSEA in its early stages, warning of its presence.

CONTINUED EXPOSURE COULD BE FATAL if proper chimney venting is not

established and maintained!
