Before installing in a solid fuel burning fire-
place, the chimney flue and firebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint
by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will
ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney flue

factory-built fireplace in which a vent-free
room heater is installed.

across openings of fireplace.

-
tions in
Cleaning and Maintenance, page 23.

cleaner or similar products, turn heater off. If
heated, the vapors from these products may
create a white powder residue within burner
box or on adjacent walls or furniture.
