Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless, odor-
less gas that is produced during combustion of wood and
other fuels. CO fumes are toxic and can be fatal.
The Oakleaf is a natural draft system which relies on a
properly designed chimney to remove CO and other com-
bustion by-products from the stove.
Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as
possible, it is important that you install a CO detector. This
is true for oil, gas, or coal burning products as well.
CO is not specifically heavier or lighter than air.
Therefore, it is best to install the detector at table top level
rather than on the ceiling like a smoke detector.
CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an alarm
for fumes other than CO or CO from sources other than the
stove such as car or lawn mower exhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1. Increase ventilation by opening windows or doors.
2. Make sure the stove doors and lid are closed and
latched.
3. Check stove for smoking or pufng condition. Open by-
pass and increase air-ow to rebox, if needed.
4. Check chimney for possible blockage or down-draft.
5. Check for false alarm.
Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well
away from the heater while it is in use.
