Classic With Blower Installation and Operation Manual

It is recommended to clean thoroughly the chimney system at the end of every heating

season. During summer, the air is damper and with minimal air circulation within the stove

or furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the chimney system to form

an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the

steel. Corrosion damages are not covered under warranty. Have your chimney system

cleaned by a professional chimney sweep. Use a plastic or steel brush.

Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a

chimney fire. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire.

5.2.3 Cleaning the Chimney

Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and

dangerous job. If you don’t have

experience cleaning chimneys, you

might want to hire a professional

chimney sweep to clean and inspect

the system for the first time. After

having seen the cleaning process, you

can decide if it is a job you would like to

take on.

The most common equipment used are

fibreglass rods with threaded fittings

and stiff plastic brushes. The brush is

forced up and down inside the chimney

flue to scrub off the creosote.

The chimney connector assembly

should always be cleaned at the same

time the chimney is cleaned.

CAUTION: Operation of your stove without the baffle may cause unsafe and hazardous

temperature conditions and will void the warranty. NOTE: Before installing the firebrick,

check to ensure that none are broken or damaged in any way. If so, have the damaged

ones replaced. Check the firebrick for damage at least annually and replace any broken or

damaged ones with new ones. Inspection and cleaning of the chimney is facilitated by the

removable baffle.
