1. Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot embers
before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool completely. It is
also recommended that before each heating season the entire
system be professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired if
necessary.
2 . C lose the door tightly and proceed with sweeping the chimney.
3 . Sweep the collected ashes into the ash removal bo x , and empty.
Clean out the remaining ashes from firebox.
4 . O pen top- loading door and vacuum out.
In s pection : Inspect the system at the appliance connection and at
the chimney top. C ooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits
q uick e r, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well
as from the bottom.
F ormation and Need F or Remov al: W hen wood is burned slowly, it
produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with e x pelled
moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue
of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
creates an extremely hot fire which may damage the chimney or
even destroy the house.
T he chimney connector and chimney should be inspected once
every 2 months during the heating season to determine if a creosote
or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated,
it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
