
It is very important that flue ways are regularly swept & checked by an approved person. It is
recommended that sweeping and checking should be done at least twice each year for
approved smokeless fuel use and quarterly each year for wood burning. The installer must
ensure that the chimney is examined for soundness and suitability before the appliance is
installed. Remedial action should be taken if required, seeking expert advice if necessary.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation it is possible
that the higher flue gas temperatures from a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were
previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore
recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular use after
installation.

All dampers or restrictors must be removed from the flue.
