7.2 – Chimney fires
- If a chimney fire breaks out, set the primary air damper to position

- Remove any easily inflammable materials from the neighbourhood
of the appliance.
- Call the fire brigade and leave the premises.
- Keep a watch on events outside (sparks from the chimneystack,
for example).
How do you avoid chimney fires?
Chimney fires can very often be avoided simply by using dry wood!
Damp wood does not only diminish calorific power, it burns poorly
(bistrage of the window) and generates creosotes (tarring of the
flue), which are highly inflammable!
Never reuse the appliance after a chimney fire without assessment
by a qualified professional, who must check damage to the flue, etc.
Mechanical sweeping of the flue is essential. It should be carried
out at least twice a year, with at least one sweeping during the
heating season. A certificate should be issued by the sweeping
company after completion of the operation.
Following a long period on non-use, check that flues are
unobstructed (insect nests for example) before relighting.
7.3 – After-sales service
We recommend that you only use replacement parts supplied
by Cheminées de Chazelles
