INSPECTIONS
The use of pelletized fuel does not eliminate the need for inspection and cleaning. During the heating season,
inspect monthly.
PERMITS
Contact your local building officials, fire officials, or the authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, permits,
and inspection requirements in your area.
VENT MAINTENANCE
•
It is essential to have your venting and vent cap cleaned every year (each Spring) to remove soot
build up. If you have doubts about your ability to clean it, contact a professional chimney sweep. Use a
plastic, wood, or flexible steel brush. Do not use a stiff brush that will scratch the stainless steel liner of
your system.
•
Bixby Direct Vent systems must be installed so that access is provided for inspection and cleaning.
•
The vent system should be inspected at least once every month during the heating season.
•
Chemical cleaners must be used with great caution. Use only those which are absolutely guaranteed not to
corrode or have any other harmful effects.
•
In case of fire, shut off appliance and call your Fire Department. Do not use the appliance or vent until it
has been inspected for possible damage.
•
Due to the nature of solid fuels and their production of ash, Bixby Energy Systems is not responsible for
flue by-products that might discolor roofs or walls.
