It is of the utmost importance to keep the flue pipe and chimney clear of deposits by regular sweeping of the
chimney irrespective of whether the fuel used is classed as smokeless or not. All fuels give rise to soot or ash
deposits and regular cleaning is essential for safe operation.
Blocked or partially obstructed flueways and chimneys will cause dangerous fumes to be emitted into the room,
these may well be invisible if a smokeless fuel is burned.
