CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Have your system cleaned by a professional chimney sweep if you have doubts about your ability to clean it. Use a plastic, wood, or flexible steel brush. Do not use a stiff brush that will scratch the stainless steel liner of your system.
2. Pellet vent systems must be installed so that access is provided for inspection and cleaning.
3. The pellet vent should be inspected at least once every month during the heating season.
4. Chemical cleaners must be used with great caution. Use only those which are absolutely guaranteed not to corrode or have any other harmful effects.
5. To increase pellet vent life, coat all exterior metal parts with high temperature, rustproof paint. This is highly recommended, particularly in areas near the ocean.
6. In case of fire, close all appliance draft openings, shut off pellet appliance and call your Fire Department. Do not use the appliance or vent until it has been inspected for possible damage.
7. Simpson Dura-Vent is not responsible for flue byproducts that might discolor roofs or walls.
