Cleaning The Flue System - Ecomaxx Premium EC00001 Operating & Installation Instructions Manual

5.2.3 CLEANING THE FLUE SYSTEM
Flue system cleaning can be a difficult and
dangerous job. If you don't have experience
cleaning flue systems, you might want to hire
a professional flue system sweep to clean and
inspect the system for the first time. After
having seen the cleaning process, you can
decide if it is a job you would like to take on.
The most common equipment used are
fibreglass rods with threaded fittings and stiff
plastic brushes. The brush is forced up and
down inside the flue system to scrub off the
creosote.
The flue should always be cleaned at the same
time the flue system is cleaned.
CAUTION: OPERATION OF YOUR WOOD FIRE WITHOUT THE BAFFLE MAY CAUSE UNSAFE AND
HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
NOTE: Before installing the firebrick, check to ensure that none are broken or damaged in any
way. If so, have the damaged ones replaced. Check the firebrick for damage at least annually and
replace any broken or damaged ones with new ones. Inspection and cleaning of the flue system is
facilitated by the removable baffle.
