New Buck Corporation 81 - Manual (Page 32)

The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected once every two months. Any build-
up of soot should be removed to prevent risk of a chimney fire. To remove chimney or chimney
connector: Remove screws or fasteners. Remove pipe and clean with steel brush. Replace
chimney or chimney connector and replace screws and/or fasteners.
CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN
UP" A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF
VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE!! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE
WITH SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.
CAUTION: Never remove ashes from your heater with blower running.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on ground, well
away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CREOSOTE-FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL: When wood is burned slowly,
it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire.
SECTION VII
OPERATION
This section of manual is to help you get maximum efficiency and maximum smoke
(particulate) reduction from your heater. If you should experience any difficulty or have any
questions concerning your heater, contact your dealer for assistance.
Manufacturer recommendation for peak performance is to burn naturally seasoned hardwood
(wood dried 6-12 month) and place wood from front to back position in the heater.
NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney, and produce a less
efficient burn performance.
Build a fire for maximum efficiency. These models burn wood and extract heat so efficiently,
a large fire is not necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in home
being too warm for comfort.
The following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.
