3. firebox
• frequency: As necessary / Yearly
• By: User
Cleaning the firebox and internal heat exchange
surfaces is recommended to maintain thermal
efficiency. Depending on the quality and quantity of
fuel being used, you may want to perform this cleaning
monthly.
Be sure to clean these areas thoroughly at the end of
the heating season.
Brush and vacuum all internal surfaces at the end of
the heating season. Ashes will draw moisture and may
promote rust formation.
5. Chimney Connector
• frequency: As necessary / Yearly
• By: Qualified Service Technician / User
At the end of the burn season, brush and clean all
sections of chimney connector pipe. Some owners
remove the chimney connector for the off season.
Any ashes left in the connector pipe will actually draw
moisture which promotes rust. This is why it is very
important to clean all ashes at the end of the heating
season.
When cleaning the chimney connector above the
appliance, keep the bypass damper in the open
position. This will keep any loosened material from
falling into the Firedome combustion chamber.
6. Chimney
• frequency: As necessary / Yearly
• By: Qualified Service Technician / Chimney Sweep
The entire chimney should be professionally cleaned
at least once yearly. It is best to have this done at
the end of the heating season to be sure all ash is
removed. You'll also want to inspect the condition of
the chimney prior to using the appliance, to be sure
there are no bird or animal nests.
