2- Chimney Cleaning; 3- Creosote - hergom CRAFTSBURY Installer Manual

If your brickwork chimney was not built with a trapdoor or cleaning door, then the inspections
will have to take place from the connecting point between the heater and the chimney.

1.3.2- CHIMNEY CLEANING

The most effective way to clean the chimney is by means
of appropriate chimney sweeper brushes. The brushes
must be the best adjusted possible to the chimney
section.
To delay the general cleaning, we advise to regularly use
the HERGÓM Anti-soot product, you will find at any of
our Distributors.
Regular Inspections
Perform each one of these inspections in the specified
terms.
Monthly:
• Perform a visual inspection of the creosote level of
the chimney and its connector is recommended,
depending on the use of the appliance.
At the end of and at all seasons:
• Detach the chimney connector and clean in depth.
• Replace the tubes that show signs of excessive
wearing out or deterioration.
• Check, and if necessary clean and repair the
chimney.

1.3.3- CREOSOTE

When wood is burnt slowly, tars and other organic
vapours are produced that, when combined with
atmospheric humidity, form creosote. The creosote
vapours can be condensed if the chimney walls are cold.
If the creosote catches light, this may cause extremely
hot fires. Any accumulation of creosote must be removed
immediately.
Due to the fact that the accumulation of creosote
depends on many variables, it is very difficult to predict
the moment at which the chimney must be cleaned. The visual inspection is the safest way to
ensure whether your heater's chimney is clean.
We therefore recommend installations to which access is easy.
To protect against possible fire, the flue system must be installed correctly and perfectly
secured. When checking, immediately replace any oxidised, cracked or broken parts.
