schedule. To inspect the chimney, let the WinterWarm

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.
