7. VENTING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
REGULARLY EXAMINE THE VENTING
SYSTEM, THE JOINTS, AND THE SEALING
TRIMS TO ENSURE THAT THE SMOKE
AND THE COMBUSTION GASES ARE NOT
LEAKING.
Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous
job. If you don't have experience cleaning chimneys,
you might want to hire a professional chimney 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 effective method of sweeping the vent
system is to use a 3" or 4" brush, depending on
your installation. Start at the top of the vent system
and brush down, so that the ash, soot and creosote
residues come off the inner surface and fall into
the bottom of the vent system, where they can be
removed easily.
The vent system must be kept in good condition and
well maintained.
CAUTION
IF A SIGNIFICANT
CREOSOTE HAS ACCUMULATED (3 MM
/ 1/8" OR MORE), IT MUST BE REMOVED
IMMEDIATELY TO ELIMINATE THE RISK
OF A CHIMNEY FIRE.
FACING A CHIMNEY FIRE
1. Evacuate family members and animals from the
building, then call the fire department.
2. Turn off the unit. Do not unplug it!
3. If possible, use a chemical fire extinguisher,
baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not
use water, as this may cause hazardous vapor
explosions.
4. Do not use the stove until the vent system and
the stove have been inspected by a qualified
chimney sweeper or fire inspector.

7.1 SOOT AND FLY ASHES

The combustion products contain small particles
of fly ash. Fly ash can accumulate especially in
horizontal sections of exhaust pipe and restrict the
flow of combustion gases. Incomplete combustion,

produced when igniting, shut down or misuse of
the stove will cause some soot formation which
can accumulate in venting system. The venting
system must be inspected at least twice a year to
determine if cleaning is necessary.

The stove is equipped with a pc board that allows
the stove to diagnose itself. It is thus important not
to unplug the stove if there is an issue with it. First,
because unplugging the stove will disable all the
security features of the stove, and second, because
you will not be able to see the error code given by the
stove to understand what the problem is.
