CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE - Creosote/Soot Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with ex-
pelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in relatively cool chimney flue
of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When coal is
burned , the products of combustion combine with moisture to form a soot residue which accu-
mulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this soot/creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney and the chimney connector should be inspected at least twice monthly.
If creosote/soot has accumulated, it should be removed. Failure to remove creosote/soot may
cause a house or building fire. Creosote/soot may be removed by using chimney brush.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the chimney connector glows red, immediately call the fire de-
partment.
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by regulatory authority.

6. WHILE IN OPER TION, KEEP THE FEED DOOR CLOSED LL THE TIME,
EXCEPT WHILE TENDING THE FIRE. LW YS OPEN DR FT CONTROLER
BEFORE OPENING THE FEED DOOR.
BOUT DR FT:
The principle of draft is that warm air rises. Your chimney provides draft which sucks the
smoke up the chimney. The stove does NOT PUSH out the smoke. Your stove has been design
and approved for use under normal conditions. Unacceptable smoking usually indicates poor
draft in your chimney. Normal operating draft for this stove is 10 Pa - 12 Pa ( 0.04 w.c. - 0.05
w.c.). For draft above 15 Pa ( 0.06 w.c.) install a stovepipe damper. Gauges to measure draft are
readily available at stove stores and are economical to rent or purchase.
Should you have a problem with inadequate draft, you should contact a licensed heating and
cooling contractor for assistance in solving the problem.
PROB BLE C USES FOR SMOKING RE:
Insufficient chimney height above nearby obstructions.
Clogged or obstructed chimney system
owndraft caused by nearby trees, hills, buildings, etc.
Negative draft. In a cold chimney, a cold air column rushing down the chimney can prevent
stove start-up causing the stove or chimney pipe joins to smoke. SOLUTION: Open nearby
window, and use small strips of newspaper or tinder loosely placed in the firebox that will pro-
vide quick and hot heat up the chimney, thereby reversing draft.

Floor Protector Material Calculations
The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combus-
tible floor, on minimum 3/8 inch non-combustible UL 1618 listed floor protector.
If those materials or UL 1618 listed floor protector are not available, materials with R-
value of at least 0.8 may be substituted. Floor protector minimum size;
Royal 900 is 51.5” W by 49.5” (1308mm X 1257mm); Royal 720 is 44.5” W by 49.5”
( 1130 mm X 1257 mm).
This stove is designed or use with Solid Wood and Coal uel only
-Use only dry, seasoned, natural untreated wood.
-For best results use solid, bituminous, anthracite and lignite coal. Never use
manufactured coal “bricks” made of coal dust with wax-type binder.
-Egg or larger size of coal can be used.
-Store coal in dry, well ventilated area.
C UTION:Use Solid Wood and Coal Fuel only. Do not burn garbage or
flammable fluids as gasoline, naphtha or engine oil.

Floor protection must be minimum 3/8-inch non-combustible material extending beneath the stove.
Some example of clearance reduction;
- Using heat shields on back and sidewalls allowing at least 1” of space away from the
walls for ventilation. The inch spacing is necessary to ensure air circulation between the
protection and the wall so that the wall is not subject to high temperatures. The spacer
used must be non-combustible. Another method to achieve the same type of protection is
using brick or masonry with 1” air space between the brick or masonry and the wall. Us-
ing those shields can reduce clearances by 60%.
- Using special interior double wall stove pipe can reduce distance to as little as 6”
- Protecting wall or ceiling adjacent to the pipe.
- Installing an approve ‘pipe heat shield’ onto the stovepipe ( reduces 18” to 9” ).
- WARNING: o not place stove to close to the shield. There should be enough space
between for proper air ventilation.
