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 em- bers.

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.
