7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your chimney.

7.2 Cleaning the Oil Collector
The stainless steel oil collector should be emptied and cleaned regularly. To remove, gently pull the collector from its housing at the bottom of the chimney. Wash it with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry before reinserting.
7.3 Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the chimney with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
