Escape 1800-I Insert Installation and Operation Manual
29
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 should be checked
regularly for creosote build-up.
Inspection and cleaning of the chimney
can be facilitated by removing the
baffle.
CAUTION: OPERATION OF YOUR ESCAPE 1800-I INSERT WITHOUT THE BAFFLE
MAY CAUSE UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS
AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
