5.2 CHIMNEY
MAINTENANCE
The most efficient method to sweep the chimney is using a hard brush. Brush downwards so soot and creosote
residues will come off the inner surface and fall at the bottom of the chimney where they can be removed easily.
The chimney must be checked regularly and if creosote has accumulated, it must be removed without delay.
Smoke flue inspection
-
The smoke flue (connector) should be inspected regularly during the heating season.
-
If possible, the smoke flue should be dismantled and cleaned.
-
The flue should be inspected for possible damage.
-
If it is in good condition, put the flue back in place; otherwise, it must be replaced.
-
REGULARLY, EXAMINE THE FLUE PIPES, THE JOINTS, AND THE SEALING TRIMS TO ENSURE THAT
THE SMOKE AND THE COMBUSTION GASES ARE NOT TRANSPORTED INTO THE AIR DUCTING
SYSTEM.
-
Use only wood as a combustible.
-
Seasoned hard wood logs 18” to 22” long are recommended as combustible.

MAINTENANCE OF THE BLOWER MOTOR
Periodic cleaning of the fan housing as well as fan and fan blades using a vacuum cleaner is necessary in order not
to affect performance and cause overheating of the latter.
5.4 FILTERS
The furnace must not be operated without filters. In order to efficiently and safely operate a slow combustion
heating system , you have to ensure a regular maintenance. This means that the chimney, the joints and the flue
must be kept in good condition and the air filters must be replaced regularly; use the same size and same type as
the original filters. High efficiency 2-ply, 3-ply, or 4-ply filters are recommended.

5.5 DOOR
GASKET
MAINTENANCE
It is important to maintain the door gasket in good condition. After a while, the gasket might sag; a door adjustment
may then be required. If the door adjustment is not sufficient, replace the door gasket with a genuine one.
Door adjustment procedure:
1. Unscrew completely the locking pin (see picture below).
2. To increase the pressure of the door on the gasket, turn the handle counter clockwise; to decrease the pressure
of the door on the gasket, turn the handle clockwise until desired pressure is attained.
3. Then, screw back the locking pin about 1/4” deep and make sure you lock it in place with the nut.
