5 PART D - MAINTENANCE
5.1 HEAT EXCHANGERS CARE
Heat exchangers must be cleaned thoroughly at the end of every heating season.
During summer, the air in basements is damper and with minimal air circulation within
the furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the exchangers to form
an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of
the steel. Corrosion damages are not covered under warranty.
Smoke pipe and exchangers must be inspected regularly during the heating season.
Access to the exchangers is easy and does not require tools; just remove the
decorative facing by just lifting it, remove the wing nut that keeps the hinged access
panel closed. (See pictures below)
