The prefabricated chimney used with your fireplace
should be cleaned from above using an 8” round brush
and the appropriate number of extension rods for com-
plete access.
The chimney cap first must be removed following the
procedure recommended by the manufacturer. After
thoroughly cleaning the chimney, reinstall the chimney
cap according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Maintenance Schedule
Fireplace:
Daily:
• Ash should be removed before the level reaches the
top of the pan. Check each time you re-load, or at
least once a day.
• Keep the area around the fireplace clear of any com-
bustible material.
Yearly Spring Cleaning:
• Remove ash from the fire box and replace with a
moisture-absorbing material (such as Kitty Litter) to
keep the interior of the fireplace dry.
• Touch up painted surfaces with black paint.
