MAINTENANCE OF PLATED SURFACES
Never clean plated surfaces with abrasive cleanser. Plated surfaces of your stove can easily be scratched. To retain their
original finish only use a soft damp during maintenance.
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
It is important to inspect the chimney or clean it periodically.
It is necessary to clean the chimney after an accumulation of
3 mm
creosote.
After two months of continuous service, it would be preferable to clean the chimney and dismount the pipe of the stove
to remove soot and creosote.
Before beginning each heating season, check the interior and exterior of the stove and the chimney in order to detect any
defect or deterioration
.
To reduce the risks of chimney fires, check your chimney by regularly inspecting it in order to check the accumulation of
creosote. To reach it, unscrew the hat. A wood or plastic brush is recommended to avoid scratches on the internal wall.
ASHES
Remove ashes only when the stove and ashes are cold. Deposit ashes in a metal container with a tightly fitting lid.
Do not keep ashes in the house because they release carbon monoxide and other harmful products. Do not place
other waste materials in the metal ash container.
Place the ashes well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. Ashes remain hot during days
and could cause a fire, they should be retained in the container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Do not deposit ashes in cardboard box.
TYPE OF LINER
The Diamond Insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6’’ diameter extending from the fireplace insert
to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of
CAN/ULC-S635
, Standard for
Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys, or
CAN/ULC-S640
, Standard for Lining Systems for New
Masonry Chimneys.
The lining brings back the flue section to the stove nozzle and isolates the flue gas from the masonry structure which
allows it to retain its heat and ensure a better circulation.
