CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
The most efficient method to sweep the chimney is using a hard brush. Brush downwards so soot and creosote
residues will come off the inner surface and fall at the bottom of the chimney where they can be removed easily.
The chimney must be checked regularly and if creosote has accumulated, it must be removed without delay.
Cleaning on a monthly basis should be sufficient during the coldest months.
Smoke flue inspection
-
The flue pipe should be inspected regularly during the heating season.
-
If possible, the flue pipe should be disassembled and cleaned.
-
The flue should be inspected for possible damage.
-
If it is in good condition, put the flue pipe back in place; otherwise, it must be replaced.
-
Use only wood as a combustible.
-
Seasoned hard wood logs 18” long are recommended as combustible.
MAINTENANCE OF THE BLOWER MOTOR
After 3 years of use, the two motor bearings must be lubricated once a year using 10 drops of 5W30 oil.
FILTERS
The furnace must not be operated without filters. In order to efficiently and safely operate a slow combustion
heating system , you have to ensure a regular maintenance. This means that the chimney, the joints and the flue
must be kept in good condition and the air filters must be replaced regularly; use the same size and same type as
the original filters.

DOOR GASKET MAINTENANCE
It is important to maintain the door gasket in good condition. With time, the gasket might sag and if a door
adjustment is not sufficient to insure tightness, replace the gasket.
