HOW TO ACT IN CASE OF FIRE IN THE CHIMNEY
If the chimney or your appliance catches fire, follow
these instructions:
If the fire is too threatening, leave the area immedi-
ately and call the fire department. If not, apply the
following three steps.
1.
Close all the stove's air intakes.
2.
Close the chimney draw (if any).
3.
Keep the appliance's doors closed.
WARNING! NEVER TRY TO PUT OUT A FIRE BY
THROWING WATER ON THE HEATER OR ON THE
METAL PIPES BELONGING TO THE CHIMNEY THESE

POUR INSTANTLY, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL

Once the fire has been extinguished, leave the main
air control in the closed position and allow the fire
inside the appliance to go out completely. Carefully
inspect the appliance, chimney pipes, and chimney
for any signs of damage before lighting the appliance
again. Do not reuse the appliance until all damage
has been properly repaired.
