USER INSTRUCTIONS
15. CHIMNEY SWEEPING
15.1 To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance the
chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a
year by a qualified chimney sweep.*
If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year
or it is used to burn wood or smokeless fuel, more frequent
sweeping is recommended.
The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of
the heating season.
The above applies even if burning smokeless fuels.
15.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance
flue ways if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.
15.3 Ensure adequate access to cleaning doors where it is not
possible to sweep through the chimney.
15.4 If the appliance is believe to have previously served an
open fire the chimney must be swept a second time within
a month of regular use after installation.
