6.3 Chimney cleaning intervals
It is extremely important to keep the chimney ue clean from creosote and
deposits. Creosote is the major cause of chimney res.
Cleaning intervals depend on the use of the appliance. The more the appli-
ance is used, the more often the chimney ue needs cleaning.
If a replace is used regularly (2-3 times a week), semi-annual chimney
cleaning may be required. If it is used every day, shorter intervals may be
required. Commercial use of wood-red pizza ovens may require chimney
cleaning every 2-3 months.
No matter how much used, a chimney ue serving wood-red appliances
should be cleaned and inspected at least once every year.
NOTE
The chimney should be cleaned by a trained professional.
We recommend using a Certied chimney sweep certied by Chimney Safety Institute of America.
You can nd a Certied Chimney Sweep at www.csia.org or www.ncsg.org
