  • Page 30: Maintenance And Safety

    Make sure the chimney is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other debris, and that all joints are intact. MHSC does not recommend chemical cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the metal parts of the chimney or fireplace.
  • Page 31 aintenance and aFety iReplace aintenance At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the metal fireplace parts.
  • Page 32 24. Don’t clean the chimney with metallic devices or chemical cleaners. 25. Don’t use the fireplace or chimney for venting wood or coal burning heaters or inserts unless approved in writing by MHSC. 26. Don’t put combustibles within 28 inches of the fireplace opening.
