system should be inspected at least once every year or ton of
pellets burned to determine if cleaning is necessary.

Inspection and Removal – The chimney connector and chimney
should be inspected annually or per ton to determine if a
creosote or fly ash build-up has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire. Inspect the system at the stove connection and
at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote
deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from
the top as well as from the bottom.
The creosote should be removed with a brush specifically designed
for the type of chimney in use. A qualified chimney sweep can
perform this service. It is also recommended that before each
heating season the entire system be professionally inspected,
cleaned and, if necessary, repaired. To clean the chimney, detach
the vent at the combustion blower transition where it is attached to
the blower.

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN DOOR GLASS
While wearing leather gloves (or any other gloves suitable for
