E. The Chimney System

Creosote

Your Dauntless FlexBurn® is designed to reduce creosote

build-upsignicantly.However,regularchimneyinspection

and maintenance must still be performed. For safety, good

stove performance, and to protect your chimney and chimney

connector, inspect your chimney and chimney connector on

a regular schedule. Clean the system if necessary. Failure

to keep the chimney and connector system clean can result

inaseriouschimneyre.

6. Starting at one end, press the gasket into the channel,

Figure 3.6. Ensure a good joint where the gasket meets

before trimming any excess. Do not overlap the gasket

ends or leave ends with ragged edges.

7.Pressthegasketedpartrmlyagainstitsnormalmating

surface to seat the gasket evenly in its channel. Close

and latch the door to do this, or tap other parts with the

rubbermallet(orhammer/blockofwood).

8. Clean any excess cement from around the channel, then

let the cement that holds the new gasket dry thoroughly.

9. The stove’s doors may need adjustment after you have

regasketed them. Initially, it may require loosening the

latch to accommodate the new gasket; after a few weeks,

it may need tightening to compensate for compression of

the new gasket.

All Gasketed Construction Gaskets

Othergasketsformsealsbetweenallothernon-movingparts,

but these are not subject to the same wear and deterioration

asgasketsonmovingparts.Itisunlikelythatyouwillever

need to replace these gaskets unless the involved parts are

disassembledandthenputbacktogether.Ifthisisthecase,

thejobshouldbedoneonlybyaqualiedservicetechnician.

Refer to the service parts list for gasket replacement.

2. Use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean

the channel of any remaining cement or bits of gasket.

Remove stubborn deposits of cement with a cold chisel

if necessary, Figure 3.5.

3.Determine the correct length of the appropriate-sized

gasketbylayingitoutinthechannel.Allowanextra1-2"

(25-50mm),andmarkthespottobecut.

4. Remove the gasket from the channel, place it on a wood

cutting surface, and cut it at the marked spot with a utility

knife.

Twist the ends slightly to keep the gasket from unraveling.

5.Layanunbroken1/8"(3mm)beadofsiliconeorcement

inthenewly-cleanedchannel,Figure3.6.

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar, organic vapors

and moisture that combine to form creosote. The creosote

vaporscondenseintherelativelycoolchimneyueofaslow-

burningre.Asaresult,creosoteresidueaccumulatesonthe

uelining.Whenignited,thiscreosotemakesanextremely

hotrewithintheuesystemthatcandamagethechimney

andoverheatadjacentcombustiblematerial.Ifasignicant

layerofcreosotehasaccumulated—1/8”(3mm)ormore

—itshouldberemovedtoreducetheriskofachimneyre.

Youcanneverbetoosafe.Contactyourlocalreauthority

forinformationonwhattodointheeventofachimneyre,

and have a clearly understood plan on how to handle one.

Ifyoudoexperienceachimneyre,actpromptlyto:

• Close the damper and air control lever.

• Get everyone out of the house.

• Call the Fire Department.

Inspect the system every two weeks during the heating

season as part of a regular maintenance schedule. To inspect

the chimney, let the stove cool completely. Then, using a

mirrorandastronglight,sightupthroughtheuecollarinto

thechimneyue.Ifyoucannotinspecttheuesysteminthis

fashion, the stove must be disconnected to provide better

viewing access.

Clean the chimney using a brush the same size and shape

astheueliner.Flexibleberglassrodsareusedtorunthe

brush up and down the liner, causing any deposits to fall

to the bottom of the chimney where they can be removed

throughtheclean-outdoor.

Clean the chimney connector by disconnecting the sections,

takingthemoutside,andremovinganydepositswithasti󰀨

wire brush. Reinstall the connector sections after cleaning,

being sure to secure the joints between individual sections

with sheet metal screws.

Ifyoucannotinspectorcleanthechimneyyourself,contact

your local Vermont Castings dealer or a professional chimney

sweep.
