Fire baffle removal prior to cleaning the chimney
Before starting to clean your chimney, we recommend that you remove the fire baffle to avoid creosote
dust collection on top of the baffle.
Follow the steps below to remove the fire baffle:
1.
Remove the front air tube by pulling out the cutter pin on the side of the tube. They are located at the
top, underneath the baffle.
2.
Lift the baffle assembly and slide it out of the fireplace. You now have access to the chimney.
See
Appendix 6 - Installation of Secondary Air Tubes and
for details.
5.2.5
Chimney fire
Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney fires. If you have a chimney fire, follow
these steps:
1.
Close the fireplace door and the air intake controls;
2.
Alert your family of the possible danger;
3.
If you require assistance, alert your fire department;
4.
If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water
as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion;
5.
Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the
roof;
6.
Do not use the fireplace again until your chimney and fireplace have been inspected by a qualified
chimney sweep or a Fire Department Inspector.
