Maintenance
Creosote - Formation and need for removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled mois -
ture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire.
As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely
hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating
season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Annual WoodMaster Maintenance
PROTECT your fire chamber by placing the chimney cap over the chimney during the off-season, inspect all
silicone caulking and make sure it has a good seal so moisture can’t enter furnace. Scrape excess creosote from
the fire chamber surface . Moisture combined with ashes will eat through metal in a very short time.
CAUTION: The warranty does not cover ash corrosion! Neglecting to clean your furnace or cover the chimney,
when not in use, will void your warranty. When the furnace is in use, be sure that you maintain a good ash
rotation. This should be done weekly.
If you are using a spark arrester or a chimney cap, you will need to provide your furnace with a little more
maintenance. It is very important that you keep these areas free of any creosote build up at all times. Failure to
do this will cause harm to the roof of your furnace.
CAUTION: Use of a spark arrester or chimney cap will require extra care and maintenance. If you don’t main -
tain it properly, it may cause damage to your roof.
Boiler Treatment
It is very important to drain and flush your furnace each spring. To drain furnace - ensure furnace has cooled to
a manageable temperature and open drain valve and let furnace empty completely. To flush - leave drain valve
open and close pump valve. Add water to furnace through the return lines. Let flush for several minutes. Close
drain valve and open pump valve. Refill furnace and treat water right away.
Leaving your furnace empty of water exposes the water jacket to oxygen which will shorten the life of your
furnace. If your system has antifreeze, you do not need to drain it. However you should then test your water
annually. For water sampling contact your dealer. NOTE: You must replace boiler treatment annually.
