Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless,
odorless 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
combustion 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 puffing condition. Open
by-pass and increase air-flow to firebox, if needed.
4. Check chimney for possible blockage or down-draft.
5. Check for false alarm.
Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all
such liquids well away from the heater while it
is in use.
