Cleaning the firebox and internal heat exchange sur-
faces is recommended to maintain thermal efficiency.
Depending on the quality and quantity of fuel being
used, you may want to perform this cleaning monthly.
Be sure to clean these areas thoroughly at the end of
the heating season.
Brush and vacuum all internal surfaces at the end of
the heating season. Ashes will draw moisture and may
promote rust formation.

At the end of the burn season, brush and clean all
sections of chimney connector pipe. Some owners
remove the chimney connector for the off season.
Any ashes left in the connector pipe will actually draw
moisture which promotes rust. This is why it is very
important to clean all ashes at the end of the heating
season.
When cleaning the chimney connector above the ap-
pliance, keep the bypass damper in the open position.
This will keep any loosened material from falling into
the Firedome combustion chamber.

Sweep
The entire chimney should be professionally cleaned
at least once yearly. It is best to have this done at the
end of the heating season to be sure all ash is re-
moved. You'll also want to inspect the condition of the
chimney prior to using the appliance, to be sure there
are no bird or animal nests.
