14. CHIMNEY SWEEPING
14.1 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.
14.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance
flue ways, if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.
14.3 Ensure adequate access for cleaning where it is not possible
to sweep through the chimney.
14.4 If the chimney is believed to have previously served an
open fire it must be swept a second time within a month of
regular use after installation.
