Chimney sweeping
Do the sweeping at least once a year
in accordance with local and national
regulations in force.
Pass on this information to the
chimney sweep.
Before carrying out the actual
sweeping, Stûv recommends the use
of a dose of a fulgent (see “Quick
maintenance of the flue” item in the
previous section).
Consult the instructions on the
product for use. Use a product
suitable for the type of chimney flue.
Whatever method is used to sweep
the chimney, the smoke deflector
elements.
Dismantling the smoke deflectors
Open the glass door.
Note the position of front
crosspiece(s) for the lower baffle
[photo 1].
Move crosspiece(s) to the very front
of the hearth [photo 1].
Remove vermiculate plates [photo 2].
If fitted, remove stainless steel upper
baffles (first R/H then L/H) [photo 3].
If sweeping is done from the top,
make sure the glass door is right
down.
Have sweeping done by the book.
Refit all components in reverse
order (upper baffles L/H then R/H,
vermiculate plates, front crosspiece).
Do not forget to reposition crosspiece
in its initial notches.
