CHIMNEY CLEANING AND CHECKING FLUES
For all wood fires, flue cleaning must be done regularly to avoid serious flue fires. Frequently used fires
should be cleaned at least once a year (some sooner). The cleaning rate, however, depends on the burning
habits of the individual operating the wood fire and the fuel used.
It is recommended that flue sweeping be done by a professional chimney sweep. Chimney sweeping is a
specialist task and competent professional sweeps are available throughout the country. When the flue is
cleaned it is recommended that other parts, such as baffles and ceramic insulation materials are checked.
Flue systems should be checked at least once or twice a heating season and may require checking more
often if the fuel or operation of the appliance is incorrect. When a flue system becomes excessively blocked
or requires frequent cleaning, advice should be sought to investigate the installation and the operation of
the fire. Flue pipes can deteriorate very quickly with incorrect firing.
CONSUMABLES
Some parts of your UL200 fire are considered consumable. They are designed to be replaced as they will
degrade over time. The life of the consumables will vary depending on;
• How often the fire is used
• Type of fuel. Some woods are much harsher than others
General items that are considered consumables:
• Baffles
• Fire Bricks
• Glass and door ropes
• Downdraft cylinder and downdraft cassette
It is very important that you replace these parts when they show signs of wear. They effect how the fire runs
and you may increase your fuel consumption or lower your efficiency if not replaced and can in some cases,
damage the firebox. It is generally obvious once a part is in need of replacement. Steel components may
split or large holes may appear, fire bricks may crack and disintegrate. We recommend you check your fire
visually several times a year for damaged components.
