NOTE:
Chimney Cleaning
When cleaning the chimney system the catalyst should be removed so this can also be cleaned at the same time following the guide lines
found in this manual. The bypass should be open so any creosote will fall onto the firebox floor when being cleaned and door closed. The
monitor should also be removed when cleaning is being done to prevent damage to the monitor.
We highly recommend that the chimney cleaning be done by a professional as they will have the necessary tools such as a proper sized
brush and special vacuum cleaner designed to deal with fine particles.
