Inspect for and remove ash build-up behind the com- bustion package. This should be done in conjunction with annual cleaning of the chimney connector since this inspection is most conveniently done through the flue collar opening. Inspect the passages to either side of the combustion package (a mirror will be helpful) and vacuum away ash using a flexible vacu- um hose inserted into each passage. Care should be taken not to damage the white fibrous material in this rear chamber. (Fig. 39)

TWO MONTHS:

connector, and the elbows. Clean the system if nec- essary.

ANNUAL SPRING CLEANING:

Disassemble the chimney connector and take it outdoors for inspection and cleaning. Replace weak sections of connector.
