Ifyourreplacechimneyisbehindacombustiblewall,you
must use an approved wall pass-through system to gain
access to the masonry chimney. The chimney connector
must enter the chimney at a place where it is lined, and

Do not burn any fuel other than those specied. Other
solidfuels,suchascharcoal,cancauseincreasedcarbon

substances in your stove, such as gasoline, which could
causeanexplosion.
When solid fuels are burned completely, they produce
waterandcarbondioxide.However,inlongslowburns,a

Ifallowedtobuildup,carbonmonoxide(whichisodorless)
canprovefatallypoisonous.Properventilationanddraftwill
prevent this from happening. If you smell smoke, turn up
the air control lever setting, and thoroughly ventilate your
dwelling. During future burns, be careful not to overload
