It is imperative to do a complete cleaning of the chimney before the beginning of each season. Guidance on mini-
mizing creosote formation and the need for periodic creosote removal. The chimney should be inspected periodi-
cally during the heating season to determinate if a creosote build-up has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote
has accumulated (1/8” or 3 mm and more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Open the T
clean out or unplug the unit on the chimney and use a light to inspect the creosote build-up. To remove the creo-
sote, use a 3” (7.6 cm) or a 4” (10.2 cm) brush to clean the chimney. We suggest cleaning by a professional.
Note Refer to maintenance chapter M1 and M4 to remove any creosote accumulation.
WARNING : In case of creosote fire, immediately shut the unit off and call your local fire
department.
M12- Creosote formation and need for removal
Check gaskets of the main door and ash door for a better airtightness
every two months and at the beginning of each season. How to verified:
Use a piece of paper (1” or 2.5 cm wide) between the door and the unit
(image 25). If there’s very little resistance when pulling the paper you may
need to pinch the gasket with your fingers. Repeat it in different locations
around the doors. If you must replace your gaskets, use only a dense
gaskets with high temperature silicone (600 F or 315 C) available from
your dealer.
M8- Gaskets
Check if the grips are well connected on the battery poles (red to red
and black to black). Small test to check if the unit will run on the battery.
Press the start icon without a flame (cold) and disconnect the AC plug
after 30 seconds. Clean the battery’s connection if the unit stops during
the test. Never place a battery directly on concrete as this can damage or
discharge it.
M9- Battery
When the unit is cold. To clean the glass and remove ash and fly ash, use a standard cleaning product. For re
-
move creosote on glass, refer to your dealer for adequate products. Use a soft and non abrasive cleaner for clean
paint parts.
