Figure 4.1 Chimney & Termination Cap Cleaning

WARNING!

Risk of Fire!

Ignited creosote is extremely

HOT. Prevent creosote buildup.

B. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning

Frequency:

As needed; at least annually before light-

ing, or once every two months during heating season.

When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed

to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

By:

Chimney Sweep

Tools

Needed: Brush, Phillips screwdriver

• When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and

other organic vapors, which combine with expelled

moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors

condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a

slow-burnign fire. As a result, creosote residue

accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this

creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

• Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all

hot embers before disposal. Allow the fireplace to

cool completely.

• Remove the top of the termination cap as shown in

Figure 4.1 to clean the cap and chimney.

• The creosote or soot should be removed from the

chimney with a brush specifically designed for the

size of chimney in use.

• Reinstall termination cap.

• Clean out fallen debris from the firebox.
