by the Fire Department or a qualified inspector.
Your insurance company may be able to recom-
mend a qualified inspector.
Make sure the chimney is high enough to give a
good draft.

monthly during the heating season for any de-
posit of creosote or soot which must be removed
(see Chimney Maintenance, page 10).

To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this
heater who is unfamiliar with the correct opera-
tion of the heater.
