blowers.

3) Insert the ash scraper and remove the ashes.
4) Replace the ash cleanout tube cover plate and securely tighten
the two thumb nuts.
Creosote
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condence in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season
to determine if a creosote build up has occured.
Also 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, and that weekly cleanings can be necessary
in mild weather, even though monthly cleanings can be enough in the colest months.
If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Do not connect this unit to the chimney flue serving another appliance.
