- Reduces Smoke Emissions
- Helps Prevent Flue Fires

HOW TO USE:

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.
