B. General Maintenance
1. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning
• Frequency: Every 2 months during heating season or
as recommended by a certied chimney sweep; more
frequently if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 ft.
(measured from bottom of appliance)
• By:CertiedChimneySweep
Removeallashfromthereboxandextinguishallhotembers
before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool completely.
Disconnectuepipeorremovebafeandceramicblanket
fromappliancebeforecleaningchimney.Otherwiseresidue
can pile up on top of the bafe and ceramic blanket and
theappliancewillnotworkproperly.(SeeBafe Removal
on page 24). Close the door tightly. The creosote or soot
should be removed with a brush specically designed for
the type of chimney in use. Clean out fallen ashes from the
rebox.
It is also recommended that before each heating season
the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and
repaired if necessary.
Inspection: Inspect the system at the appliance connection
and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build
creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the
chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.
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 the relatively cool
chimneyue of a newly-started or aslow-burning re.As
a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining.
When ignited, this creosote creates an extremely hot re
which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected
once every 2 months during the heating season to determine
if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or
soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the
riskofachimneyre.
3. Appliance Inspection
• Frequency: Every 2 months at the same time the
chimney and chimney connector are inspected.
• By:Homeowner
Check for:
• Cracksinglass
Door handle - smooth cam operation
• Bafeandceramicblanketcorrectplacement

the stove and the door and then shut the door. If you can
pullthedollarbillout,replacethedoorgasket.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight

ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
