4 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 which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected once every 2 months during the heating season to determine if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

•By: Homeowner / Chimney Sweep

•Task: See the following instructions.

Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot embers before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool completely. Disconnect flue pipe or remove baffle and ceramic blanket from appliance before cleaning chimney. Otherwise residue can pile up on top of the baffle and ceramic blanket and the appliance will not work properly. (See Baffle Removal on page 25.) Close the door tightly. The creosote or soot should be removed with a brush specifically designed for the type

of chimney in use. Clean out fallen ashes from the firebox. A chimney sweep can perform this service.

It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired if necessary.

Warning! Risk of Fire! Ignited creosote is extremely HOT. Prevent creosote buildup.

Inspection: Inspect the system at the appliance connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.

In the event of a chimney fire, Hearth & Home Technolo- gies Inc. recommends

•replacement of the chimney, and

•inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of NFPA Level III inspection criteria.
