MAINTENANCE OF THE EXCHANGERS
The evacuation pipe and the exchangers should be inspected regularly during the burning season. Using the scraper, clean the three exchanger pipes.
INSTRUCTIONS
1o Wait until fire is completely out before cleaning.
2o Remove the smoke pipe connector from the furnace.
3o Inspect the furnace’s heat exchangers (rectangular tubes) through the smoke outlet for creosote accumulation.
4o Using the supplied scraper, clean the heat exchangers and the combustion chamber and remove creosote residues. 5o Reassemble the smoke pipe connector.
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
One of the most efficient methods is to sweep the chimney, using a hard brush. Brush up and down. Soot and creosote residue will come off the inside surface and fall at the bottom of the chimney where it can be removed easily.
The chimney must be checked regularly and if creosote has accumulated, it must be removed. Cleaning on a monthly basis should be sufficient during the coldest months.
Smoke flue inspection
-The smoke flue should be inspected regularly during the heating season.
-If possible, the smoke flue should be dismantled and cleaned.
-The flue should be inspected to detect any defect.
-If no defect is noticed, put the flue back in place; otherwise, it must be replaced.
-Use only wood as a combustible.
-Seasoned hard wood logs 18” to 22” long are recommended as a combustible.
