4. Maintenance
A special sealing prevents water from entering through the surface. In order to ensure this
protection on a long term basis, the chimney should be re-sealed at least every spring and autumn -
when used often - also several times during the season.

In order to ensure joy and a long lifetime of your
gimenea
, please use the

maintenance and cleaning products which are all natural. Ask your dealer.
Do not expose your
gimenea
to longer periods of rain. Protect your chimney from frequent
precipitation with the UV resistant
gusto-
Weather protection hood
. Should the chimney become
wet on the outside, the „flourishing“ of the clay can cause a white discolouration of the surface.
This is not dangerous and can be removed with

.
Your
gimenea
is not frost-proof. We recommend storing the chimney in a dry room in winter or
with temperatures under 3°C.
5. General warning and usage instructions
Never use garden rubbish or large amounts of straw in one-piece chimneys because the burning
temperature of these materials is too high and can damage the
gimenea
.
Small cracks in the
chimney which can occur while burning are normal and are not a flaw. When lighting your
gimenea
, please be aware of local fire regulations relating to buildings and heathland. Do not
create a fire hazard.
We wish you a lot of enjoyment with your
gimenea
!
