Instructions
Use a smoke test to check for leakage and to ensure that the push-on top is working correctly.
Close the appliance and warm the chimney flue with a blowlamp or similar heating device for
approximately ten minutes. Put smoke pellets in the appliance firebox (or bottom of the chimney
or the appliance recess) and light. Close the appliance when smoke has formed and allow the
smoke to make its way up the chimney.
After the installation, the flue and chimney should be warmed through gradually to prevent
cracking and the drying out of mortar between the push-on top and the chimney pot. This must be
done before initial use (on first firing) or after long periods without use.
We would recommend that chimneys using the following fuels are regularly cleaned and inspected
as follows:
Smokeless Fuels - at least once annually
Coal - twice per year
Wood - quarterly
Oil - annually
Gas - annually
It is essential for safety reasons that any push-on top to be fitted is correctly selected and is
suitable for the heating appliance being used.
