Cleaning the woodstove and the flue 

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with emitted moisture to form creosote. The creosote 
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on  the flue lining. When ignited this creosote 
makes an extremely hot fire. 

Initially,  do  a  monthly  check  for  the  presence  of  soot  above  the  steel  baffle  and  around  the  outlet  flue.  If  the  woodstove  suddenly  start 
operating slowly check for intense presence of soot in the flue / chimney. 

 

Clean  the  flue/chimney  all  the  way  from  the  woodstove  to  the  flue  end  point  above  the  house.  A  good  practice  is  to  clean  the  flue  after 
each  operating  season  and  to  inspect  it  prior  to  the  start  to  ensure  that  bird’s  nests  or  other  blockages  have  not  occurred  during  the  off 

season. 

9.3.1.

 

Chimney sweeping 

 

Inspect the woodstove regularly during the operating season as part of a regular maintenance schedule. 

 

To  inspect  the  chimney,  let  the  woodstove  cool  completely.  Then  inspect  the  chimney  through  the  flue  collar  by  using  a  mirror.  If  you 
cannot inspect the flue system this way, the woodstove must be disconnected to provide better viewing access 

 

Clean the chimney using a brush with the same size and shape as the flue. Run the brush up and down the flue, causing any deposits to 

fall to the bottom of the woodstove where they can be removed the same way as the ash.  

 

If you cannot inspect or clean the chimney by yourself, contact your local ARTE® dealer or a professional chimney sweep. 

If you experience a chimney fire, act promptly and: 

 

Close the air regulation 

 

Evacuate the house 

 

Call the Fire Department 

9.3.2.

 

Annual maintenance 

Before the operating season starts, perform a thorough cleaning, inspection and repair: 

 

Thoroughly clean the chimney and flue connector 

 

Inspect the chimney for damage and deterioration. In case of prefabricated chimney, replace any weak sections. In case of a masonry 
chimney, have a mason make any needed repairs 

 

Check the ceramic glass for any cracks and replace if needed 

 

Check the door and handle for tightness. Adjust if needed. 

9.3.3.

 

How to clean the inside parts of ARTE® ASSOS woodstove 

During the annual visit of your local chimney sweep and during the cleaning of internal parts of the woodstove, it is recommended to remove 
all internal parts of the combustion chamber to be also cleaned. 

(Κεφάλαιο 9.4) 

 

Maintenance on the woodstove must be done ONLY when the device is 

cold. 

The flue should be inspected at least once every two months during the 

operating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote 

has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
