General Maintenance
Chimney System
The Jøtul C 350 Fireplace Insert is designed to burn
cleanly and efficiently when used according to the
guidelines in this manual. In order to maintain
proper performance, you should inspect the
chimney and chimney connector at the beginning
of each heating season and then every other month
during the heating season. Clean the chimney
whenever creosote and fly ash accumulation
exceeds 1/4 inch in any part of the system.
Chimney brushes are available from your local
Jøtul dealer or hardware supply store. Your dealer
can also refer you to a reputable, professional
chimney sweep who will have all the equipment to
ensure a complete and proper job. Failure to keep
the chimney system free of creosote and build-up
could result in a serious chimney fire.
Regular maintenance will assure proper
performance and prolong the life of your fireplace
insert. The following procedures do not take
long and are generally inexpensive. When done
consistently, they will help increase the life of
your fireplace insert and assure satisfactory
performance.
• Thoroughly clean the insert. Enamel surfaces
should be cleaned with a moist cloth and
polished dry..
• Empty firebox of all soot and ashes. Never use a
household vacuum cleaner to remove ashes. Only
a shop vac with a metal container is acceptable
and only when you are certain the ashes are cold.
• Inspect the firebox using a utility light inside and
out for cracks or leaks. Replace all cracked bricks
and repair leaks with furnace cement.
