Precautions For The Use And Maintenance Of Wood-burning Fireplaces

1. The exhaust of wood-burning fireplaces should be inspected every year to ensure that there is no accumulation of a large amount of creosote. If there is, you should ask a WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) certified professional to check the smoke in your home. Check whether the chimney is clean and safe, and ask a professional chimney company to clean it. At the same time, WETT experts are also required to check the wall temperature to avoid fire hazards caused by excessive temperature;

2. Check the sealing gasket of the fireplace and replace it in time if it is found to be damaged or aged. If the gaskets are damaged, there is a chance that outside air ingress can enter the sealed fireplace, which can cause a fire in your fireplace to be difficult to control.

3. Check whether the brick lining of the fireplace is damaged. If any damage is found, please contact a professional repairer to help you repair it to avoid potential safety hazards in the future.

4. Clean the blower of the fireplace, because the blower of the fireplace has no filter system, dust, hair, etc. are easy to gather inside, affecting the normal function.

5. Please pay special attention to the rust of your chimney and the lining of the fireplace. The looseness of the masonry may be caused by the expansion of the inner wall of your fireplace. If you find any abnormality, please contact professional workers for maintenance.
