Inspecting Venting System

A vented fireplace venting system is designed and constructed

to develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the

outside atmosphere.

Any foreign objects in the venting system, may cause spillage of

the flue gases into the room.

Periodic examination and/or cleaning of the venting system of the

solid-fuel burning fireplace must be done by a qualified service

person. visually inspect the damper and flue area for excessive

soot build-up. This soot (carbon) may be removed by brushing with

a soft bristle brush.

The Decorative Gas Log Set should be thoroughly inspected on a

regular basis at least once a year by a qualified installer.

At the beginning of each season, the system should be checked

as follows:

Check the chimney flue or vent pipe to make sure that the

flue is drawing properly, and that any vent pipe connections

are tight.

Check to see that there are no blockages at the chimney or

vent termination.

Check for creosote and soot build-up in chimney and/or

vents and clean if necessary.

Inspect the pilot and burners (if applicable).

The burner system has been adjusted for proper operation at the

factory. No adjustment is necessary, other than altitude de-rate or

pilot flame.

NEVER enlarge valve orifices or burner ports.

Sooting

Some sooting of your log set is normal, adding to the appearance

of burned wood. If excessive sooting accumulates, clean the logs

using either of the following options::

While the logs are burning and hot, spray the logs with

clean water. The soot will lift off and burn off.

When the logs are cold, brush the soot off with a stiff

brush. Do not use water or soot cleaners at the same

time as a brush.
