9.5 CHIMNEY
CLEANING
86.1
Both the chimney and the appliance must be inspected and cleaned if necessary at least once a year.
For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as needed to avoid chimney fi res; the venting
systems for controlled combustion appliances may need cleaning as often as once a month. These rates,
however, depend on the burning habits of the individual operating the appliance. For example, it is possible to
clog a solid fuel appliance chimney in a few days if slow, smoldering fi res are burned and the chimney is cold.
NOTE: Appliances burned consistently without hot fi res may result in signifi cant creosote
accumulations in the chimney.
Certain items and considerations are important in chimney cleaning:
•
Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifi cally designed for chimney cleaning.
•
The chimney connector and dampers as well as the chimney should be cleaned.
• The
appliance’s
fi rebox and baffl e system should be cleaned if needed.
•
The chimney should be inspected and repairs made if needed, preferably by a qualifi ed chimney
sweep or mason.

A.
Remove the damaged gasket.
B.
Apply a thin bead of adhesive (red high
temperature silicone (RTV) or wood stove gasket

groove, ensure it remains fl ush with the side of
the door (recessed point). Without stretching or
compressing the gasket, place it naturally along
