room heater is installed.
7. Before installing in a solid fuel burning
fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must
be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose
paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote
will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney
flue may create and distribute soot within
the house. Inspect chimney flue and firebox

facturing residues.
10. To prevent the creation of soot, follow the
instructions in Cleaning and Maintenance,
page 23.

cleaner or similar products, turn heater off. If
