14.Chimney Inspection and Cleaning..

•Frequency: Prior to each burn season and after pro- longed shut down.

•By: Qualifi ed Service Technician/Homeowner

In order to properly clean your chimney you will need the following items. Make sure you have a Correctly sized chimney brush, chimney brush rods or rope and pull rings (depending on method used), fi replace cover (for use with an ash vacuum or to contain dust), protec- tive covering for furniture and rugs, tape, metal bucket, small shovel and broom, vacuum cleaner, and a power- ful fl ashlight.

There are four common methods used to control the brush for effective cleaning.

1.Flexible Rod Method, Top Down (Preferred Method): Seal off fi replace or stove opening to prevent soot from entering the home. For fi replaces a Fireplace Cover is a great way to seal off the opening and allow a vacuum cleaner to attach to keep the dust out of your home. Attach the brush securely to the fl exible rod and lower into the top of the chimney, add more rods as nec- essary to reach the fl ue bottom. Work the brush up and down several times until the chimney is clean. Use a powerful fl ashlight to look into the chimney to be sure you have cleaned it completely.

2.Flexible Rod Method, Bottom-up: Insert brush and rod up through the fi replace damper or chimney clean- out door. Add more rods as necessary to reach the top of the chimney. This method is often messy since seal- ing the opening cannot be done during cleaning. Cover area around opening to prevent staining rugs, furniture, etc. Use a powerful fl ashlight to look into the chimney to be sure you have cleaned it completely. Work the brush up and down several times until the chimney is clean.

3.Line and Weight Method: Seal off fi replace or stove opening to prevent soot from entering the home. Securely attach a compact 20-pound (minimum) weight to one end of the brush with one accessory pull ring and attach a rope that is more than long enough to reach the bottom of the fl ue, to the other brush end. Lower the brush into the chimney and up again until the chimney is clean. Use a powerful fl ashlight to look into the chimney to be sure you have cleaned it completely.

4.Dual Line Method: This method requires two people, one on the roof and one below at the clean-out or fi replace opening. Attach one rope to each end of the brush. Drop one rope down the chimney to the person below. Cleaning is done by alternately pulling the ropes to vigorously move the brush up and down in the fl ue. This method is often messy since sealing off the open- ing cannot be done during cleaning.

Cover area around opening to prevent staining of rugs, furniture, etc… Work the brush up and down sev- eral times until the chimney is clean. Use a powerful

flashlight to look into the chimney to be sure you have cleaned it completely. Follow clean-up directions below.

For All Methods: Sweep or vacuum up all residues prior to using stove or fi replace. Be especially careful to check the debris behind the damper and smoke shelf area, in elbows or “T” connections. Special hand held chimney cleaning brushes are available to reach hard- to-clean areas. Clean a wire bristle chimney brush after use and coat with a rust preservative. During the burn- ing season we highly recommend the use of Anti-Creo- Soot or another creosote remover product to reduce the build-up of creosote deposits.
