WOOD HEATER MAINTENANCE CHECK YOUR WOOD HEATER REGULARLY Initially, we recommend you check your flue system at least once per month. After the first few months you will notice a pattern of soot and creosote build up and you can then determine an inspection interval for checking soot and creosote build up that is suitable for your wood heater installation. - Page 13 There may be times however when you need to clean the glass. To do this, use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Only ever clean the glass when the wood heater is cold. For best results select from Scandia’s range of glass cleaning products.
