9.8.2 CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE

The most effi cient method to sweep the chimney is using a hard brush. Brush downwards so soot and
creosote residues will come off the inner surface and fall at the bottom of the chimney where they can
be removed easily.
The chimney must be checked regularly and if creosote has accumulated, it must be removed without
delay. Cleaning on a monthly basis should be suffi cient during the coldest months.
Smoke Flue Inspection
• The smoke fl ue should be inspected regularly during the heating season.
• If possible, the smoke fl ue should be dismantled and cleaned.
• The fl ue should be inspected for possible damage.
• If it is in good condition, put the fl ue back in place; otherwise, it must be replaced.
9.9

FILTERS

The furnace must not be operated without fi lters. In order to effi ciently and safely operate a slow combustion
heating system, you have to ensure a regular maintenance. This means that the chimney, the joints and the
fl ue must be kept in good condition and the air fi lters must be replaced regularly; use standard capacity pleated
air fi lters (16" x 25" x 1").

9.10 DOOR GASKET MAINTENANCE

It is important to maintain the door gasket in good condition. After a while, the gasket might sag; requiring
replacement.

9.11 CARE OF GLASS (IF EQUIPPED)

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or
blemishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass.
The most common reasons for dirty glass include: not using
suffi cient fuel to get the appliance thoroughly hot, using green
or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is insuffi cient air
for complete combustion.
If it is necessary to clean the glass, buff lightly with a clean dry
cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! Clean the glass after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a
recommended appliance glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required.
The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and always close the door gently.
NEVER FORCE IT SHUT!
If the glass should ever crack or break while the fi re is burning, do not open the door until the fi re is out and do
not operate the appliance again until the glass has been replaced, available from your Authorized dealer. DO
NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.
