less creosote is deposited and weekly cleaning may
be necessary in mild weather even though monthly
cleaning may be enough in the colder months
WARNING:
IN CASE OF CHIMNEY FIRE (1) CLOSE AIR INLET
CONTROL AND FLUE PIPE DAMPER. (2) GET OUT OF
THE HOUSE (3) CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
SOOT - FORMATION & NEED FOR REMOVAL
Additionally, coal combustion by-products like sulfur
dioxide, sulfur trioxide and others can corrode stainless
steel and masonry chimneys. It is important to inspect and
clean chimney on a regular schedule.
CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE.
WHEN COAL IS BURNED, THE PRODUCTS OF
COMBUSTION COMBINE WITH MOISTURE TO FORM
A SOOT RESIDUE WHICH ACCUMULATES IN THE
FLUE LINING. WHEN IGNITED, THIS SOOT MAKES AN
EXTREMELY HOT FIRE. THE CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
AND CHIMNEY SHOULD BE INSPECTED AT LEAST
ONCE EVERY TWO MONTHS DURING THE HEATING
SEASON TO DETERMINE IF A SOOT BUILD-UP HAS
OCCURRED. IF SOOT HAS ACCUMULATED, IT SHOULD
BE REMOVED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A CHIMNEY
FIRE.
CHIMNEY INSPECTIONS
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected
at the beginning of and at least twice a month during the
heating season to determine if a creosote or soot build-
up has occurred. Chimney res burn very hot. If any part
of the stove, chimney or chimney connector should glow
red, reduce the re by closing the damper and spin draft
control and immediately call the re department.
CAUTION:
A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNITION OF WALL
STUDS OR RAFTERS WHICH WERE ASSUMED TO
BE A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE CHIMNEY. IF A
CHIMNEY FIRE HAS OCCURRED, HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY
INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT BEFORE USING
AGAIN.
A re in the stove may be smothered by pouring a large
quantity of coarse salt, baking soda, or cool ashes on top
of the re.
