C. 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 25). 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
Bafe for warp-age
Firebrick for cracks, broken or crumbly
Door gasket (Dollar bill test): Place a dollar bill between
the stove and the door and then shut the door. If you can
pull the dollar bill out, replace the door gasket.
Glass frame for loose screws
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a non-combustible oor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal. If the
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
2. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency:
When ash is within 1-3/4 in. (44mm) of rebox
lip
• By: Homeowner
