9.1 Creosote build-up and removing:
When
wood burns slowly, tar and organic vapors are
released. These combustion by-products combine
with moisture to form creosote. When creosote
vapor comes in contact with a relatively cold
surface, such as a chimney flue during a slow
burning fire, it condensates. As a result, creosote
residues build up inside the chimney. When this
creosote deposit catches fire, the chimney can
reach dangerously high temperatures.
9.2 Inspection and regular maintenance:
The
chimney must be inspected regularly during the
heating season in order to determine whether is
creosote build-up. In order to avoid chimney
fires, the chimney must be cleaned if the creosote
build-up reaches a 1/8" (3 mm) thickness.
The ceramic replacement glass (pyroceram) can
usually be ordered from a local glazier or ordered
directly from Don-Bar Fireplaces. (Note: the
glass panes are not warrantied against breaking).
Warning:
Never replace a broken door glass
with an ordinary or tempered glass: it will
shatter and may cause serious injuries.
7.3 Door gaskets:
The gasket ensuring the door
airtightness must be changed periodically.
Replace it with a similar fiberglass 3/8" (10 mm)
round stove gasket. To replace the gasket around
the glass, use a U-shaped 1/2" (12 mm) fiberglass
stove gasket.
