The chimney should be inspected periodically during the heating season to see if a creosote build-up has occurred. The presence in a chimney of soot or creosote in excess of 1/8" (3mm) thick will indicate the need for immediate cleaning, possible modification of burning procedures, and more frequent inspections.

THE COMBUSTION CONTROL SYSTEM Since the door is sealed, all combustion air must come through the OPEL+ KEYSTONE's draft control. This control has a bimetal coil to allow more air when the unit is cold, and less air when the unit is hot, guarding against overheating. - Page 5 (FO-KK). It is not designed or required for full brick or stone. Thin materials can also be installed directly on the face of the OPEL+ KEYSTONE using high temperature silicone as glue, without a rock retainer kit.
