Maintenance Schedule

Vermont Castings EWF36A

The prefabricated chimney used with your fireplace should be cleaned from above using an 8” round brush and the appropriate number of extension rods for com- plete access.

The chimney cap first must be removed following the procedure recommended by the manufacturer. After thoroughly cleaning the chimney, reinstall the chimney cap according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Maintenance Schedule

Fireplace:

Daily:

Ash should be removed before the level reaches the top of the pan. Check each time you re-load, or at least once a day.

Keep the area around the fireplace clear of any com- bustible material.

Yearly Spring Cleaning:

Remove ash from the fire box and replace with a moisture-absorbing material (such as Kitty Litter) to keep the interior of the fireplace dry.

Touch up painted surfaces with black paint.
