Maintenance and Servicing the Fireplace
A. Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-
tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending nal disposal. If the ash-
es are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dis-
persed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all embers have thoroughly cooled.

WARNING
Fire Risk
Prevent creosote buildup
Inspect chimney once every two months during heating
season.
Remove creosote to reduce risk of chimney re.
Ignited creosote is extremely HOT.
WARNING
B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning
Inspect the chimney internally for obstructions and construc-
tion damage. Flue pipe joints and seams must be continu-
ous and mechanically tight.
The chimney should be inspected once every two months
during the heating season.
If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of a chimney re.
Refer to Figure 12.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.
C. Firebox Refractory
Check rebox refractory for excessive cracks or gaps. If
cracks exceed 1/4 in. (6 mm) in width the refractory should
be replaced. See Section 12 for replacement information.
Fire Risk
Inspect replace refractory annually.
Crumbling, deteriorated refractory can allow
overheating of surrounding materials.
WARNING
Note: As you use the replace, expansion and contraction
will cause minor cracking of the refractory. This is normal,
unavoidable, and will not affect the performance of the
replace. If the cracks become large enough that the metal
behind the refractory is exposed or large pieces fall out, the
panels should be replaced.
