CAUTION

OPERATION OF YOUR WATERLOO WITHOUT THE BAFFLE MAY CAUSE UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS

TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

5.2.4

Fire Baffle Removal Prior to Cleaning the Chimney

Before starting to clean your chimney, we recommend that you remove the fire baffle to avoid creosote

dust collection on top of the baffle.

Follow the steps below to remove the fire baffle:

Remove the front air tube by pulling out the cutter pin on the side of the tube. They are located at the

top, underneath the baffle.

Lift the baffle and slide it out of the fireplace. You now have access to the chimney.

See

Appendix 6:

Installation of Secondary Air Tubes and

Baffle

for details.

5.2.5

Chimney Fire

Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney fires. If you have a chimney fire, follow

these steps:

Close the fireplace door and the air intake controls;

Alert your family of the possible danger;

If you require assistance, alert your fire department;

If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water

as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion;

Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the

roof;

Do not use the fireplace again until your chimney and fireplace have been inspected by a qualified

chimney sweep or a Fire Department Inspector.
