At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes
should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of
moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the
metal fireplace parts.
At the beginning of each heating season, always operate the flue damper and make sure it has not become
stuck from soot, creosote, etc., during the period of inactivity.
Keep the lower and upper grille panels clean and free from dirt and lint accumulation at all times to get the
maximum efficiency from your fireplace.
As you use the fireplace, expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of the hearth, back, and side
refractory materials. This is normal and unavoidable. If the cracks become large enough or parts dislodge and
metal behind the refractory is exposed, the refractory panels should be replaced with new panels that can be
obtained from you fireplace dealer.
