USER INSTRUCTIONS

13.CHIMNEY SWEEPING

13.1To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance the chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a year by a qualified chimney sweep.*

If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year or it is used to burn wood or smokeless fuel, more frequent sweeping is recommended.

The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of the heating season.

The above applies even if burning smokeless fuels.

13.2The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance flue ways if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.

13.3Ensure adequate access to cleaning doors where it is not possible to sweep through the chimney.

13.4If the appliance is believe to have previously served an open fire the chimney must be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.

15.Seasonal use

15.1Clean and service the appliance if it is not used during the warmer periods of the year as detailed in the Maintenance and Servicing section

15.2Set the Air Damper control 50% open to keep the appliance ventilated and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.

15.3Before re-lighting the appliance:

Clear any debris that may have accumulated

Check the flue is clear of any blockages

16.Troubleshooting tips

16.1Appliance is producing tar: This is identified by:

A very strong pungent smell shortly after the appliance is lit and heats up

Thick, brown and sticky tar oozes from the pipe joints

This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your appliance at too low a temperature;

Use well seasoned wood and operate the appliance in the ideal temperature range

Tar is a major cause of chimney fires - if you experience problems with tar build up consult a chimney sweep before continued use of your appliance.

In the U.K:

*This should be done by a NACS registered (UK only)/ INFO registered (Eire only) chimney sweep, who will issue you with a certificate.
