- Reduces Smoke Emissions

HOW TO USE:
- Make a hot fire and let it die down to hot coals. If possible adjust the unit so airflow travels up the flue slowly.
- Place Soot-Loose on the hot coals; TWO (2) heaped tablespoons for a maintenance clean, FOUR (4) heaped tablespoons if the chimney/flue hasn’t been cleaned for a while or is heavily sooted.
CAUTION: HOT DEBRIS can fall from the chimney during the cleaning process. This debris can be a fire hazard.
– If the unit has a door, close it or if your fireplace is open, place a guard in front to contain hot debris. The process is complete after approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Remove any loose soot above the baffle plate. Once all loose debris has been removed, your heater will be ready to use.
