Page 21: Maintenance And Servicing The Fireplace
Maintenance and Servicing the Fireplace A. General Maintenance 1. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning Frequency: As necessary; at least annually before lighting stove, or once every 2 months during heating season. Formation and Need For Removal: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote creates an extremely hot fire Remove screws, which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. The lift top cover. -

Page 24: Firebrick Replacement
2. Firebrick Replacement The firebox of your fireplace is lined with high quality firebrick, which has exceptional insulating properties. There is no need to use a grate; simply build a fire on the firebox floor. Do not operate the fireplace without bricks. IMPORTANT: The bricks are very similar in size. Be certain you have the proper brick in the correct location. Measure the brick size for accuracy. After the coals are completely cooled, remove all old firebrick and ash from unit and vacuum out firebox. 1. Remove new brick set from box and lay out to diagram Figure 4.3 Fire Brick Configurations as shown in Figures 4.3 & 4.4. 2. Lay bottom bricks in unit. 3.
