RUNAWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE
A CHIMNEY FIRE CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR
CHIMNEY SYSTEM.
THIS DAMAGE CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING
THE DAMAGED COMPONENT PARTS. CHIMNEY FIRES
ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
CAUSES:
• Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which would
normally be used as kindling.
• Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme
temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.
• Improperly installed or worn gaskets.
• Creosote build-up in chimney.
SOLUTIONS:
• Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, charcoal,
coloured paper or cardboard.
• Do not burn green or freshly cut wood.
• Be careful not to over fire the appliance by leaving the door
open too long after the initial start-up.
• Replace worn, dried out (inflexible) gaskets.
• Have the chimney regularly cleaned.
IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE:
• Have a well understood plan for evacuation and a place
outside for everyone to meet. Prepare to evacuate to ensure
everyone’s safety.
• Close air control on appliance.
• Call local fire department. Have a fire extinguisher handy.
Contact local authorities for further information on how to
handle a chimney fire.
• After the chimney fire is out, clean and inspect the chimney
for stress and cracks prior to lighting another fire. Also check
combustibles around the chimney and the roof.
5.6 CHIMNEY CLEANING
Both the chimney and the appliance must be inspected and
cleaned at least once a year.
For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as
needed to avoid chimney fires; the venting systems for
controlled combustion appliances may need cleaning as often
as once a month. These rates, however, depend on the
burning habits of the individual operating the appliance. For
example, it is possible to clog a solid fuel appliance chimney
in a few days if slow, smouldering fires are burned and the
chimney is cold.
NOTE: Appliances
burned consistently without hot fires
may result in significant creosote accumulations in the
chimney.
Certain items and considerations are important in chimney
cleaning:
•We recommend that you use a registered chimney cleaning
professional.
• Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifically
designed for chimney cleaning.
