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 fires; the venting
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 fires are burned and the chimney is cold.
Certain items and considerations are important in chimney cleaning:
• Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifically designed for chimney cleaning.
• The chimney dampers as well as the chimney should be cleaned.
• The appliance's firebox should be cleaned if needed.
• The chimney should be inspected and repairs made if needed, preferably by a qualified chimney
sweep or mason.

CARE OF GLASS

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS TO CLEAN 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. 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!
Do not operate the appliance with broken glass, as leakage of fl ue gases may result.
Contact you local authorized dealer / distributor for complete cleaning instructions.
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. Do
not operate the appliance until the glass has been replaced. Contact you local authorized dealer / distributor
for replacement parts. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.
