Resolute Acclaim Woodburning Stove

When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire within the flue system which can damage the chimney and overheat adjacent combustible material.

To reduce the amount of creosote that may form, re- member to provide adequate air for combustion and to strive for small, intense fires rather than large, smolder- ing ones.

You can never be too safe. Contact your local fire authority for information on what to do in the event of a chimney fire, and have a clearly understood plan on how to handle one.

Inspect the Chimney Connector and

Chimney Twice Monthly and

Clean as Required

Let the stove cool completely before you inspect the chimney. Then, use a strong light, and sight up through the flue collar into the chimney flue. If it is not possible to inspect the flue system this way, the stove must be disconnected to provide adequate viewing.

Clean the chimney using a specially designed chim- ney cleaning brush, the same size and shape as the flue liner, attached to flexible fiberglass rods designed for this purpose. Run the brush up and down the liner so that any deposits fall to the bottom of the chimney where they can be removed through the clean-out door. The chimney connector should be cleaned by discon- necting the sections, taking them outside, and remov- ing any deposits with a stiff wire brush. Reinstall the connector sections after cleaning, being sure to secure the individual sections with three sheet metal screws per section.

If you are unable to inspect and/or clean the chimney system yourself, contact your local dealer or hire a qualified chimney sweep in your area to do the job.
