Exhaust System - Osburn INSPIRE 2000-I OB02045 Installation And Operation Manual

6.3.2 Gasket
It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to
maintain a good seal.
1. Remove the door and place it face-down on
something soft like a cushion of rags or a
piece of carpet.
2. Remove the old gasket from the door. Use
a screwdriver to scrape the old gasket
adhesive from the door gasket groove.
3. Apply a bead of approximately 5 mm of
high temperature silicone in the door gasket
groove. Starting from the middle, hinges
side, press the gasket into the groove.
The gasket must not be stretched during
installation.
4. Leave about ½" long of gasket when cutting
and press the end into the groove. Tuck any
loose fibers under the gasket and into the
silicone.
5. Close the door. Do not use the insert for 24
hours.

Exhaust System

Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney, forming a inflammable deposit called creosote.
If creosote builds up in the system, it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the insert. A very
hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney. Severe chimney fires can damage even the best
chimneys. Smouldering, smoky fires can quickly cause a thick layer of creosote to form. When
the insert is operated properly, the exhaust from the chimney is mostly clear and creosote builds
up more slowly.
6.4.1 Frequency
It is not possible to predict how much or how quickly creosote will form in the chimney. It is
important, therefore, to check the build-up in the chimney monthly until the rate of creosote
formation is determined. Even if creosote forms slowly in the system, the chimney should be
cleaned and inspected at least once each year.
6.4.2 Sweeping the Chimney
Chimney sweeping can be a difficult and dangerous job. People
with no chimney sweeping experience will often prefer to hire a
professional chimney sweep to inspect and clean the system for the
first time. After seeing the cleaning process, some will choose to do
it themselves.
