11 Maintenance and Servicing the Fireplace

A. Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fit- ting lid. The closed container of ashes 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 dis- persed, they should be retained in the closed container until all embers have thoroughly cooled.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Prevent creosote buildup

•Inspect chimney once every two months during heating season.

•Remove creosote to reduce risk of chimney fire.

•Ignited creosote is extremely HOT.

B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning

Inspect the chimney internally for obstructions and construc- tion damage. Flue pipe joints and seams must be continu- ous and mechanically tight.

The chimney should be inspected once every two months during the heating season.

If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

Refer to Figure 11.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.

C. Firebox Refractory

Check firebox refractory for excessive cracks or gaps. If cracks exceed 1/4 in. (6 mm) in width the refractory should be replaced. See Section 12 for replacement information.

WARNING

Fire Risk

•Inspect fireplace refractory annually.

Crumbling, deteriorated refractory can allow overheating of surrounding materials.

Note: As you use the fireplace, expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of the refractory. This is normal, unavoidable, and will not affect the performance of the fireplace. If the cracks become large enough that the metal behind the refractory is exposed or large pieces fall out, the panels should be replaced.
