Cleaning the Chimney
Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and
dangerous job. If you don’t have
experience cleaning chimneys, you might
want to hire a professional chimney sweep
to clean and inspect the system for the
first time. After having seen the cleaning
process, you can decide if it is a job you
would like to take on.
The most common equipment used are
fibreglass rods with threaded fittings and
stiff plastic brushes. The brush is forced up
and down inside the chimney flue to scrub
off the creosote.
The chimney should be checked regularly
for creosote build-up. Inspection and
cleaning of the chimney can be facilitated
by removing the baffle.
Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep
your chimney clean.
The rain cap can be removed for inspection and/or cleaning of the chimney.
The chimney should be swept following these steps:
1)
Remove the fire baffle and air tubes.
2)
Remove the rain cap.
3)
Sweep the chimney.
4)
Clean the inside of the firebox.
5)
Re-install the baffle, the air tubes and the rain cap.
CAUTION: OPERATION OF YOUR FP12 MUNDO WITHOUT THE BAFFLE MAY CAUSE UNSAFE AND
HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
