TIGHTNESS AND CLEANLINESS
are important.
-
Seal all the linking parts so that the bottom of the flue socket is
placed 10 mm higher than the top of the appliance that will be
introduced.
.
-
On installation, if necessary install a draught regulator.
The depression must be measured at the time of the first fire. The
IDEAL DRAUGHT is between 12 and 20 Pa (1.2 to 2 mm water
column). If it goes outside these limits, it is MANDATORY to act on
the chimney.
D. HOT AIR DUCT
Two ducts can be connected to the top of the appliance to heat adjacent
rooms. (Their installation is recommended if the fire is installed without the
fan).
When installing these ducts, limit their length, never bring them back down,
avoid bends and changes of direction as much as possible, as the losses of
speed caused reduce the efficiency of the hot air outlets at the end of the run.
Depending on requirements and the risks of heat loss, it may be of use to
insulate these ducts. Take care, as without a fan, the hot air temperature may
reach 200 C. It is therefore vital to isolate the ducts and their outlets from
o
any combustible material.
Remark:
an efficient hot air circuit requires an air return so as to avoid
depression in the room where the appliance is. For each room
concerned, a ventilating grid placed near the ground allows the
cooled air to come out of the place in order to complete its circuit.
