using high quality materials. During the drying process,
surface cracking may occur. These small cracks (under 1/16”
will not effect the fireplace safety or performance). During the
assembly process, fill surface cracks with thin-set mortar and
brush when drying for a smooth surface finish.
Removal of Creosote and Soot Formation – Creosote
vapors are known to form in the relatively cool chimney flues
of slow burning fires, hence, creosote residue collects on
the flue lining. Because of soot and creosote build-up, it is
recommended that the fireplace and chimney cleaning be
done twice a year. In colder climates, cleaning should be done
more often.
Always allow the fireplace to completely cool before
you work on it, which means, of course, shutting off all gas and
electrical connections, also.
Be certain that you use only solid fuel in your fireplace.
You may use a natural or LP gas log lighter as a method to
start your wood fire.
The flue damper must be in the OPEN position
whenever there is heat in the fireplace.
