F. The Chimney System
Creosote
Your Encore® Model 2040-CAT-C 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3.5.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.
5/16”diametergasketsealsthefollowingparts:
• Thelowerrebacktothebackpanel
• Theleftandrightairplates(innersides)
All connections between the stove plates.
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3.4.
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3.5.
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.
