3 Maintainance and Service

A. Disposal of Ashes

Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate

By: Homeowner

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot embers.

•Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-ﬁtting lid.

•The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible ﬂoor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending ﬁnal disposal.

•If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning

Frequency: At least twice a year during heating season or as recommended by a certiﬁed chimney sweep

By: Certiﬁed chimney sweep

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

Refer to Figure 3.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.

Creosote - 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 rela- tively cool chimney ﬂue of a slow-burning ﬁre. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot ﬁre.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney ﬁre can permanently damage your chimney system and nearby structures.

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

The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year during the heating season to determine when a creosote buildup has occurred.

When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney ﬁre.

Remove 8 screws (9 for King), lift top cover.

Remove 4 screws & lift off top.
