Warning!
Chimney inspection and maintenance is a critical part of any wood burning maintenance
schedule. Inspect it at least once annually—preferably at the start of heating season.
Clean as needed.
Off Season Preparation
Acids produced during the woodburning process can form when exposed to moisture inside the fire-
box, heat exchanger tubes and secondary combustion chamber. It is important that the boiler be prop-
erly prepared for the off season (summer) idle period. The upper and lower combustion chambers,
heat exchanger tubes and chimney bypass damper should all be thoroughly cleaned of creosote, soot
and ash. After the boiler is cleaned, both doors should be left open to avoid condensation.
