CHIMNEY CLEANING

Both the chimney and the appliance must be inspected and cleaned if necessary at least once a year.
For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as needed to avoid chimney fi res; the venting
EN
systems for controlled combustion appliances may need cleaning as often as once a month. These rates,
however, depend on the burning habits of the individual operating the appliance. For example, it is possible to
clog a solid fuel appliance chimney in a few days if slow, smoldering fi res are burned and the chimney is cold.
Certain items and considerations are important in chimney cleaning:
• Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifi cally designed for chimney cleaning.
• The chimney dampers as well as the chimney should be cleaned.
• The appliance's fi rebox should be cleaned if needed.
• The chimney should be inspected and repairs made if needed, preferably by a qualifi ed chimney
sweep or mason.

CARE OF GLASS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or
blemishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass.
The most common reasons for dirty glass include: not using
suffi cient fuel to get the appliance thoroughly hot, using green
or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is insuffi cient air
for complete combustion.
If it is necessary to clean the glass, buff lightly with a clean dry
cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! Clean the glass after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a
recommended appliance glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required.
The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and always close the door gently.
NEVER FORCE IT SHUT!
If the glass should ever crack or break while the fi re is burning, do not open the door until the fi re is out and do
not operate the appliance again until the glass has been replaced, available from your Authorized dealer. DO
NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.
