CARE Establish a routine for the storage of fuel care of the appliance and firing techniques Check daily for creosote build up until experience shows how often cleaning is necessary Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote will be deposited and weekly cleanings may be necessary in mild weather though monthly cleanings may be enough in the coldest months Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire To control creosote when burning wood in temperate weather stoke often with a small intense fire Heat requirements should determine the size of the Wood fire To help control creosote build up in the furnace burn well seasoned hard wood sun dried in an open area for at least 12 months Do not allow any wood fire to smolder and cool the flue system as this type of operation condenses the flue gas products creating creosote DO NOT OPERATE YOUR SUMMERAIRE COMBINATION FURNACE WITH THE WOOD CHARGING DOOR OPEN CLEANOUTS It is very important to clean the heat exchanger at least on an annual basis One cleanout cover is located on the front of the furnace above the firebox charging door To access this cleanout remove the painted stand off cover Remove cleanout cover by removing the nuts and carefully remove the cleanout cover gasket Use a wire brush to clean the secondary heat exchanger tubes to loosen any accumulation of soot or creosote that may be present One clean out access cover i
