Maintenance and troubleshooting
Care and cleaning
It is extremely important to keep the flue clean from creosote and deposits as soot is the major cause of
chimney fires. The top of the fan is hinged and can be opened to ensure easy cleaning of the fan.
Cleaning intervals depend on the use of the fireplace. The more the appliance is used, the more often the
chimney flue must be cleaned. If a fireplace is used regularly (2-3 times a week), a semi-annual cleaning of
the chimney and the fan may be required. If used on a daily basis shorter intervals may apply.
No matter how often the fan is used, the fan must be inspected and cleaned at least once a year – for
instance when the chimney is inspected and cleaned by your chimney sweep. The chimney should always
be cleaned by a trained professional chimney sweep.
Gas appliances should be checked for safety once a year by a installer registered in the Gas Safe
register.
Note!
The chimney fan can be used at temperatures of up to 200 °C. The motor has special ball bearings that are
sealed, lifetime lubricated and maintenance-free.
Cleaning procedure

WARNING! Do not open the motor housing unless
the power to the chimney fan has been disconnected!
