10.5. Inactive fireplace for prolonged periods
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If the fireplace is not used for some time, clean it thoroughly and let the air control layout slightly open in order to let the
air circulate. Ensure that the rainwater cannot infiltrate from the flue. Place a chimney cap that does not completely block the flue.
These actions should ensure there is a slight movement of air through the fireplace, and that the body and combustion chamber remain dry,
right into the corners.
Ash that remains in the fireplace, when not in use, can absorb moisture like blotting paper. If moisture settles inside the fireplace, it forms rust
which expands the more it settles. This can cause excessive pressure on the fireplace joints, thus causing damage.
NOTE:
It is recommended to thoroughly clean the fireplace at the end of the operating season Adding desiccant in the combustion
chamber, such as cat litter, helps absorb moisture during the summer. Make sure to remove it before the beginning of the operating season.
