“Creosote and Soot - Formation and
Need for Removal”
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors,
which combine with expelled moisture 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.
With a new installation, the chimney should be inspected frequently
(every 2 wks) to determine the rate of creosote formation.When
familiar with the appliance and chimney characteristics, the chimney
should be inspected at least once every 2 months during the heating
season to determine if a creosote or soot build-up has occurred.
If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of chimney fire.
Contact a local professional chimney sweep for chimney cleaning
services and advice if you have any doubts about your ability to clean
your chimney system or if the task is too large.
The rain cap may be unscrewed using a twist-lock feature. Care
should be taken not to disengage any lower chimney sections. This
will permit the insertion of a properly sized plastic chimney cleaning
brush. A metal brush may scratch the liner and lead to premature
corrosion.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE FUEL MATERIALS CORROSIVE TO THE
CHIMNEY LINER SUCH AS DRIFTWOOD, PLASTICS,
CHEMICALLY TREATED WOOD, ETC..

* Specify chimney size
Model SuperVent(FC) and SuperPro (SPR) chimneys and components
are interchangeable with one another.
Both are listed to CAN/ULC-S604 and CAN/ULC-S610.
Keep bottom ends equal distance from the chimney and if possible, at
the same elevation, on the high side of the sloped roof. Seal the roof
with a suitable non-hardening waterproof caulking. After the legs are
attached to the chimney and draw band, tighten the clamps on the legs
to fix the position of the telescoping legs.(See Figure 17). Only one
chimney joint should be above a Roof Guy, the addition of a secondary
Roof Guy may be required.
Do periodic inspection of all fasteners including the draw band as high
winds can cause the chimney system above the roof to vibrate and in
time loosen some of the fasteners.
