NOTE
Chimney inspection and maintenance is a critical part of any wood-burning maintenance sched-
ule. Make sure that the chimney connection is secure and airtight. The chimney connector and
chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if
creosote buildup has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.
NOTE
It is imperative that the user regularly check the boiler, boiler gauges and heating system for cor-
rect function. It is also essential to ensure that there are no leaks from the boiler, the supply and
return lines, the pressure relief valve, the boiler drain, etc. All leaks must be addressed immedi-
ately. An damage caused by external leaks is not covered by the factory warranty.
NOTE
When loading the boiler with wood never “throw” the logs into the firebox. Place them gently
into the boiler to avoid damaging the refractory.
NOTE
Extended operation of the boiler in idle mode will cause premature wear of the firebox aprons
and refractory components. See instructions for correct boiler operation.
NOTE
The boiler must not be installed in a damp or humid environment.
4.10.5 Smoke Pipe Inspection and Cleaning
The chimney and the chimney connector must be inspected and cleaned annually. Annually disassem-
ble the stove pipe and clean ash accumulation and inspect for corrosion. If any pipe is substantially
corroded, this section must be replaced. Cleaning the connecting pipe between the boiler and the
chimney is very important for horizontal smoke pipes!
4.10.6 Chimney Fires
Chimney fires are caused when excessive buildup of creosote in the chimney connector pipe or the
chimney is ignited by a racing fire, or when a burning piece of material is swept out of the firebox into
the chimney. If you have a chimney fire, you will hear a roaring sound in your chimney, almost like a
jet airplane. In addition, sparks may be seen flying from the chimney outside the house. Chimney fires
can set fire to the interior of your house or roof. They are potentially very dangerous, and the follow-
ing procedure should be followed if you think you have a chimney fire:
1. Call the fire department.
2. Shut all doors and close all air inlets on your boiler.
3. Evacuate your house.
4. If possible, wet your entire roof with a garden hose.
Chimney fires can be avoided by following the recommendations in this manual for minimizing ash
formation, by maintaining your chimney in good condition, and by cleaning your chimney regularly.
A chimney fire should never happen with a Bonus Plus boiler.
