Take care to maintainproper clearances from the duct to combustible construction�Fire Deck model numbers containing a “-W” (other than the first letter of the model number) should be vented in accordancewith codes concerning solid fuel appliances� Due to the dangers of creosote buildup and sparks entering the duct, these modelsshould be vented separately from all other kitchen equipment or in such a manner acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction�The Wood Stone customer support staff is available to answer any questions concerning installation and venting of the oven; callyour local distributor for assistance and technical support�Solid fuel exhaust contains creosote and other substances that accumulate in ducting, creating a risk of fire� The rate ofaccumulation will vary with respect to flue gas temperature, wood type and moisture content� Frequent, regularly scheduled,thorough flue cleaning is the best way to minimize the risk of flue fires� Wood Stone recommends cleaning and inspection atleast monthly on any ventilation system serving solid fuel equipment.CREOSOTE - AND THE NEED FOR ITS REMOVALWhen wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote�The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool oven flue of a slow-burning fire� As a result, creosote residue accumulatesin the duct� When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire� The duct serving this oven should be inspected at leasttwice a month during the first two months of operation, to establish rate of creosote buildup and necessary cleaning schedule� Ifcreosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a flue fire� Wood Stone recommends cleaningand inspection at least monthly on any ventilation system serving solid fuel equipment.WOOD STONE RECOMMENDS THAT THE OPERATOR REFER TO THE EXHAUST HOOD MANUFACTURERS FORINSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING.
