GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Usage of authorized Control chemical is required in all Crown Royal Stoves. To uphold your warranty annual water
testing is necessary.
Do not allow moisture to come in contact with ashes in firebox. It is mandatory to have a rain cap on the termination
of your chimney.
Frequently check for accumulated soot, creosote, and ash build-up until experience shows how often cleaning
is necessary.
Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often cleaning is necessary. Be aware that the hotter the
fire, the less creosote is deposited, a weekly cleaning may be necessary in warmer weather, while a monthly cleaning
may be adequate in the coldest months. Have a clearly understood plan of how to handle a chimney fire.
