Y Make sure that the chimney is swept regularly and check it visually at least once a year The lifespan of the chimney is most affected by the material burned in the furnace and the way it is burned 4 CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE Good chimney maintenance includes regular check ups at sufficiently frequent intervals i e monthly and if needed with the help of the chimney sweeper If the chimney has been unused for a long period make sure before you use it that it is in good condition and not blocked for instance by a bird nest A Kastor Chimney should be swept with a stainless and acid proof or nylon brush 5 IMPORTANT FACTORS RULES AND REGULATIONS The Kastor Chimney has been designed for use only as a flue channel for the flue gases emitted by fireplaces that are used according to regulations Emissions that differ from the regulations e g heat pollutants may damage the chimney To prevent damage to the flue channel avoid burning plastics or material that includes plastic possible creation of hydrochloric acid for instance Various glues may also contain plastic or other pollutants which is why glued pieces must not be burned in the fireplace Always check that the fireplace and its accessories are in a condition that ensures clean flue gas The condition of the chimney must be checked regularly i e once a month In addition to these instructions and official regulations the instructions given by the fireplace s manufacturer mus
