WinterWarm Fireplace Insert or System
2000941
You should inspect the system every two weeks during 
the heating season as part of a regular maintenance 
schedule. To inspect the chimney, let the WinterWarm 
cool completely. Then, using a strong light, sight up 
through the flue collar into the chimney flue. If it is not 
possible to inspect the flue system in this fashion, the 
firechamber must be removed to provide better viewing 
access. 
If it is necessary to remove the firechamber to inspect 
or clean the chimney, this is how to do it:
• 
Let the WinterWarm cool.
• 
Disconnect the fan power cord.
• 
Remove the load door, grate bar, grate and ash 
door.
• 
Retract all four levelling screws until they bear no 
weight.
• 
If you installed the CFM Corporation Flex Connector 
System, bend the four retaining tabs on the Starter 
Piece until they are straight. Push the Starter Piece 
upward until it is clear of the shroud.
• 
Slide the firechamber forward until you have access 
to the fireplace opening.
• 
Remove any sealing plates and the chimney con-
nector from the fireplace damper frame area.
You can now inspect the smoke shelf area and the 
chimney. Before replacing the WinterWarm, this area 
should be inspected for signs of deterioration and 
cleaned thoroughly with a chimney brush.
Clean the chimney using a specially designed brush the 
same size and shape as the flue liner. Flexible fiber-
glass rods are used to run the brush up and down the 
liner, causing any deposits to fall to the bottom of the 
chimney where they can be removed through the clean-
out door.  
The chimney connector should be cleaned by discon-
necting the sections, taking them outside, and removing 
any deposits with a stiff wire brush. Reinstall the con-
nector sections after cleaning, being sure to secure the 
individual sections with sheet metal screws.
If you can’t do the chimney inspection yourself, con-
tact your local Vermont Castings’ Authorized Dealer, or 
engage a professional chimney sweep to perform the 
inspection and cleaning of the chimney.
If you are the owner of a WinterWarm Fireplace Sys-
tem, the prefabricated chimney used with your fireplace 
should be cleaned from above using an 8” round brush 
and the appropriate number of extension rods for com-
plete access.  
The chimney cap first must be removed  following the 
procedure recommended by the manufacturer. After 
thoroughly cleaning the chimney, reinstall the chimney 
cap according to the manufacturer’s directions.
WinterWarm Maintenance Schedule
Fireplace:
Daily:
• 
Ash should be removed before the level reaches the 
top of the pan.  Check each time you re-load, or at 
least once a day.
• 
Keep the area around the fireplace clear of any com-
bustible material.
Yearly Spring Cleaning:
• 
Remove ash from the fire box and replace with a 
moisture-absorbing material (such as Kitty Litter) to 
keep the interior of the fireplace dry.
• 
Touch up painted surfaces with black paint.
Flex  Connector:
Two Weeks:
• 
Inspect the chimney and flex connector. Clean the 
system if necessary.
YEARLY SPRING CLEANING:
• 
Disassemble the flex connector and take it outdoors 
for inspection and cleaning. Replace weak sections 
of connector.  
• 
Inspect the chimney for signs of deterioration.  
Repairs to a masonry chimney should be made by 
a professional mason. Replace damaged sections 
of prefabricated chimney. Your local Vermont Cast-
ings’ dealer or a chimney sweep can help determine 
when replacement is necessary.
