The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all embers have thoroughly cooled. B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning Inspect the chimney internally for obstructions and construction damage. Flue pipe joints and seams must be continuous and mechanically tight. The chimney should be inspected once every two months during the heating season. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fi re.

WARNING Fire Risk Prevent creosote buildup • Inspect chimney once every two months during heating season. • Remove creosote to reduce risk of chimney fi re. • Ignited creosote is extremely HOT. WARNING C. Firebox Refractory Check fi rebox refractory for excessive cracks or gaps. If cracks exceed 1/4 in. (6 mm) in width the refractory should be replaced. See Section 12 for replacement information. Fire Risk • Inspect fi replace refractory annually. Crumbling, deteriorated refractory can allow overheating of surrounding materials. WARNING Note: As you use the fi replace, expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of the refractory. This is normal, unavoidable, and will not affect the performance of the fi replace.
